I wonder how that would impact actual delays.

That was emotional?

You can still do that and not do well on an RTI test; as evidenced by vehicles like the Camel Trophy participants.

Someone’s cranky...

A big difference being that corn doesn’t typically make up 60%-85% of peoples’ diets. Corn isn’t bad for cows at levels similar to what humans eat (even if you want to include corn syrup in that amount).

If you watched the video, you’d know that subsidies largely switched away from systems that paid farmers to not farm, to a system that had price guarantees and large crop insurances discounts.  Not that it makes it any better, but you could at least watch the video, learn a bit, and then make more informed comments.

Don’t forget water usage.  Hey, John Oliver did an episode on that too!

Here’s the bit that talks about that...

Do they actually want Chinese EVs or do they simply want more cheap EV offerings?

Car prices continue to climb, wages no longer tracking with productivity (or inflation)... yeah, people will cling to their old ones longer.

Car “roofs” are typically different than living spaces. I don’t think anyone would consider this to not have a roof:

Does a soft top not count as a roof?

This is the problem with most commenters on here.  They so blindly hate the Cybertruck, they can’t even accurately criticize it.  You try to correct them, or give it a bit of perspective, and you are suddenly called a Musk defender or something like that.

Where’s the lie? You think a Land Rover Freelander from the Camel Trophy would do well on an RTI test? Fuck no. You can have an extremely capable vehicle do poorly on an RTI test. An RTI test is just a single test.

My point is tires are entirely secondary to the primary attributes tested here. That’s why there’s often no mention of what specific tires (other than size) on the vehicles tested here. It’s not going to matter if you’ve got fresh KM02s or if they’ve got 45,000 miles on them. The results are going to be pretty damn…

The fact you think bald tires would affect this test is silly.  It’s a suspension travel, suspension flex, and frame test.  It’s largely not a tire traction/condition test.

I know he’s lied, well, he’s lied a lot.  But as he lied about RTI tests?

And plenty do worse. What’s your point? It looks like it scored dead even with the F150, and beats notable offroaders like the ‘22 TRD Pro, G-Class...

I hate the Cybertruck as much as the next guy, but I don’t think anyone is buying this truck to do well on an RTI test. I don’t think Tesla ever intended this to do well on it.

I get your point, and I get CR’s point. But I wish CR’s statements were at least a bit more relative. The Wrangler’s ride, interior sound and fuel economy should all be compared to the closest competitors: Bronco and 4Runner. Sure, if they want to say stuff like, “These class of vehicle is going to have way worse ride…
