I mean that’s patently wrong and it is completely legal in many states to exceed the speed limit while passing:

Bradley seems real fun for road trips...I would assume he is a left lane cruiser in a Prius because it sure does sound like he sure hates cars.

I will never understand why speed is ALWAYS the scapegoat. Too often you see news reports where its “Speeding Driver Causes Wreck on X Road” or “Two People Killed When Struck by Speeding Driver” and then in the report itself you find out that the driver was high, driving a stolen car, and ran a red light.

Yeah cool - do you drive in rural parts of your state or the ones surrounding it? And when you do you have never gone above the speed limit or above 70mph? And it’s all for safety reasons? I call bullshit.

The 10 mile over limit gives room for passing on 2 lane roads, which need to be done as expeditiously as possible.

Yeesus, Bradley. This article is bad, your take is bad & short sighted, and your responses to the comments seem to be the equivalent of “I know you are but what am I,” second grade playground chat. Gosh, coming to Jalopnik is like opening the fridge 100 times when you are hungry hoping that something delicious…

Wtf is this nerd shit. 

Given how ridiculously and artificially low speed limits are posted in the US, this is a terrible idea. I’m not talking about the guy going 105 mph in a city center, t-boning another vehicle and killing everyone involved. I’m talking about the average not-in-a-neighborhood-or-downtown roadway that everyone is going…

The problem with this solution is it only affect new cars. Cars going well under the flow of traffic will cause more unsafe situations than everybody doing over.

With respect, I disagree. We should be allowed to be as stupid as we like. Myself included. Too much safety, especially forced safety, can be a bad thing. 

I know i’m getting old when an 80mph limiter doesn’t piss me off 😆. But 70 limit for highways are a no go for me. I couldn’t imagine taking a road trip being in some of the vast emptiness of the midwest with only a 70mph limit. there’s plenty of 75 & 80 zones out there where appropriate.

This feels a bit like we are being trolled.

Uhhh, they can literally buy or rent another OEM’s truck and take it apart to see what they did, just like the other OEM’s do. This is completely on them. 

Yes, but...no. It’s the 2020s and automotive engineering is taught in college and grad school, there’s nothing that’s hidden anymore. And Tesla, just like every other auto manufacturer, is free to purchase their competitor’s vehicles and reverse engineer everything they need for their vehicle.

Sure - but that’s why a reasonable, responsible, company will take measured steps and not market their CyberTruck as the ultimate do anything, go anywhere, conquer everything uber-vehicle. Hell - based on the ranges people are getting, their half-cooked release isn’t even good at the very thing Tesla is expected to…

I think the fact that they are blaming it on the software signals how far out of their element they are. Making a car that heavy with that long of a wheelbase good offroad isn’t impossible, but its not a problem you solve with computers (at least not by themselves).

They’re not taking them very far off-road, but I guess it’s something!

Partial car at full price.  What a strategy!

I chalk it up to a lack of experience

For the last time, Cybertrucks are not for off-roading!
