*breaking multiple parts off before giving up

He then goes up a small hill and says "this feels good. I can't see anything out front."

    This is the funniest shit I've ever seen. "I'M HAVING SO MUCH FUN!" Can hardly travel over a path made of logs.

    The thing sounded like it was breaking, what is that plastic scraping sound?

      Right ?

      The car fails at the first obstacle, bits start breaking off, he starts tapping away on the screen and says ‘i just need to divert power from the shields because I cant see anything”. or some shit

      And then hes like “this is fine., “

    I am so sick of Americans claiming they need "off road capability". Nearly none of them do. The people who most vocally claim they do don't even off road as a hobby. They just wanna drive a large, wasteful truck so they can seem intimidating.

      It's to futureproof when US roads crumble to the point of needing off road capabilities to drive to Walmart.

      I used to think "well at least 4wd for snowy areas" but if people just got snow tires, took transit, put studded tires on their bike, whatever then it wouldn't be necessary for 95+% of people even in those areas

      I love that all of our local mountain roads designated for this kind of driving have terrain that's about as bad as this, plus uneven dirt and constant incline switching. They'll be stuck an hour's drive from the nearest small town and further from anywhere with a charger.

    I still can't get over how the entirety of the car's data is fed through 1 touchscreen that is mounted in the center of the dashboard. No gauges, no instrument cluster, no knobs for climate control, nothing.

    So uniquely terrible

      Electronic turn signal control has to be the dumbest idea I’ve ever heard and also takes like the only fun part of driving away.

        It should also be illegal. It's no different than people using their mobile phones when driving.

    > uses hill climb assist up a small concrete stairs. basically just a steady incline with small bumps

    "oh uh, I don't know if this takes the fun out of it, but its doing this all on its own" *soyfaces*

    > tries to use hill assist down the stairs, it refuses to even engage

    > creams pants while driving around a dirt course at 20mph

    > says multiple times he cannot see anything around the vehicle without all the cameras

    > notification pops up on screen obscuring said cameras

    So much cope and Tesla boot licking in those comments.

    And the next clip where its wheels are spinning as it tries to go up a slight incline.

    And then it loses a drag race to a quad bike (by a big margin) and the Tesla guy just keeps repeating "I beat him" as though he's been cheated

    I saw a video on reddit that was basically an ad for a Toyota hilux and it could have taken these logs at 100mph
