The Cybertruck diaper strikes back! Departure angle is poor. Sound on

From:

FFS, not only are all these YouTubers badly cloned derivatives of the one before them, they all try to have their "schtick". You know we've hit low-rent when we get "the sausage test".

It’s kind of on-brand. Almost on-the-nose levels, though.

”Dude! Bro!” … it feels like I”m listening to my 11 year old play video games with his friends.

My 1998 Ford Aspire could have made it into that snowy driveway.

their decision to make that very large plastic underbumper is strange because its surely going to impact departure angle, which this video seems to confirm. maybe they figure hard core offroaders will remove it and add their own thinner shield.

A person who doesn't know how to drive in the snow is not going to do any better in an R1T than a Cybertruck.

I was thinking about this last night. I bet the reason for the underbumper/cyberdiaper is likely for aerodynamic reasons. They probably wanted a lower angle of departure for the air, which seems like it has done the same to the ground.
