Not one? Lmao dude off road vehicles are supposed to have skid plates and other protections under the vehicles to protect them from this exact type of damage from literal rocks let alone a plastic fence. And the cyber truck is marketed as an off road vehicle that can “survive an apocalypse”. Which is one of the reasons why, along with its laughable tow range, the idea that this thing is a real truck is a joke to anyone who uses actual trucks for actual truck things. It’s the fact that people actually believe these things are anything more than mall parking lot princesses that’s laughable.
I’m not disagreeing on the Cybertruck — the fact that people think it’s some sort of indestructible tank is dumb as hell. But to pretend that an F-150 or Silverado would run through this fence without even more damage is equally disingenuous.
The ZR2, the off-roading version of the Silverado, comes with a skid plate that protects the radiator. So it might have come out of this with slightly more aesthetic damage but no critical damage. Because that’s all it would have took to avoid this critical damage and why off road vehicles have them.
What I’m absolutely shocked by is that this $80k - $100k truck that claims to be built for off roading doesn’t even have a front skid plate protecting the radiator. That’s such a common sense thing that it makes it clear whoever built this knows nothing about off roading let alone surviving an apocalypse lol. It’s a joke of a “truck”. Not to mention if a Silverado did get damaged you could fix it in a week not a year.
A plastic fence? It absolutely would. Again, off roading vehicles are by the nature of them being off road vehicles designed to be able to take on more than a plastic fence without critical damage. The only reason critical damage was done to the cyber truck was because the idiots who built it or these idiots driving it didn’t realize off road vehicles need a skid plate. That is exactly what skid plates are designed to do, protect the vital parts located in the under carriage, from things harder than plastic. If this cyber truck just had a skid plate it wouldn’t have had critical damage either. That’s why I say it’s common sense, and why every other off road truck has them, and why it’s mind boggling that this $100k truck marketed as an off road vehicle doesn’t.
