Look the cybertrunk is a dumb vehicle. But, isn’t this how trucks and other off-road targeted vehicles are displayed?

If it’s new they shouldn’t drive over rocks on the tires. If it was used and on used tires, driving it up on rocks would make a lot more sense. I off road my Subaru and I’ve off roaded with a kia, most vehicles can do more than you think if you know how to drive them.

Yes, but at the same time a lot of other trucks and “off-road” vehicles like the vast majority of SUVs aren’t actually designed to be used off-road, either.

Ok, but this is actually just sensible marketing. Must not skuff a new product. That’s just common sense.

They have the yellow ramp blocks to get it up the curb too! So embarrassing

Wouldn’t that be the same for any show car? Like, you don’t want to scuff up the new tires by unnecessarily taking the car over a curb.

Granted, they should have put them away for the show, but they clearly don’t have much brain power to show.

You think they do that with a jeep, or some other actual off-road vehicle? Maybe they would, but I think the curb would take out that nazi car. That’s the difference.

Yes, they do that to new jeeps or other actual offroad vehicles.

For a showroom vehicle where you want everything on the vehicle to be as spotless and unblemished as possible, yeah, I would imagine some places would.

Sure, not everywhere is gonna do it, but I would guess that they had a time or two where a car slipped on the curb and scuffed up the tire. It’s one more thing to potentially turn off a customer. Plus, they maybe can’t sell the car until they replace the damaged tires (just my guess).

It might not take it out but at 6900lbs it’s probably really hard on the sidewalls.

Jeep JKs weight less than half of that.

I mean, they haven’t actually finished setting it up yet. That part makes sense.

Unfortunately the Americans will never be able to experience the best offroad vehicle.
