Tesla’s Cyber Truck is a the top of many of our news feeds after Elon Musk allowed Joe Rogan to shoot one with arrow during an appearance on his podcast (it bounced off).
All this Cyber Truck hubbub got me thinking if the futuristic vehicle would be viable option for all us skiers and snowboarders looking for something to get us safely to the mountain and I found this leaked footage of Cyber Truck getting put through it’s winter paces at the Southern Hemisphere Proving Grounds (SHPG) test track located in the South Island of New Zealand.
With Cyber Trucks set to ship to customers November 30th we are sure to see them start popping up in ski resort parking lots in the near future. Check out the footage, would you trust a Cyber Truck on a mountain pass on a snowy day?
EXOSKELETON
Cybertruck is built with an exterior shell made for ultimate durability and passenger protection. Starting with a nearly impenetrable exoskeleton, every component is designed for superior strength and endurance, from Ultra-Hard 30X Cold-Rolled stainless-steel structural skin to Tesla armor glass.
ULTRA-HARD 30X COLD-ROLLED STAINLESS STEEL
If there was something better, we’d use it. Help eliminate dents, damage and long-term corrosion with a smooth monochrome exoskeleton that puts the shell on the outside of the car and provides you and your passengers maximum protection.
TESLA ARMOR GLASS
Ultra-strong glass and polymer-layered composite can absorb and redirect impact force for improved performance and damage tolerance.
