    Not a Tesla fan but this is a stupid article. Driving on sand is 100% driver skills and tires. You could have a McLaren and a smart car with sand tires and the smart would win all day.

      That’s just not true. Sand is a power hog. Sucks up horsepower like nobody’s business. You gotta have some juice to move with wheels effectively.

    It has to be a sand race because the Cybertruck gets completely disabled from moisture.

        A cyber truck had a major malfunction and stopped working because it went into a car wash without being in “car wash” mode. The joke is that Cybertrucks cannot get wet.

          Ah… If I remember correctly; not being in a carwash mode caused the screen to freeze and because of a bug the hard reset took hours instead of minutes. The car was back up and running the next day and I believe the bug has been patched as well

          EDIT: Imagine the bubble you’re in when downvoting factual information is the norm.

        You are right thanks for the correction. I misinterpreted this line

        However, I’ve got to think here the big differentiator here was the Lightning’s all-wheel-drive system, which is almost certainly better at tacking loose surfaces than the Cybertruck’s.
