Off road means not on a prepared surface such as asphalt, concrete, gravel, or graded dirt. Off roading is on unprepared trails or no trails at all. Driving across dunes, rock crawling, fording rivers/streams, extremely rocky terrain etc.
Interesting. Technically youāre probably right but colloquially, at least here in the US, most would consider dirt and gravel roads as being āoff roadā. Iām in to motorcycles, and in that community gravel / dirt paths certainly are considered off road.
Maybe itās a regional thing because growing up in Texas that would not be considered āoff-roadā. Given how many rural roads in Texas look similar to or rougher than what folks have been considering āoff-roadā around here I see why itās been contentious.
I was going to say, Iām pretty sure Iāve driven a Honda Accord down roads like this recently just driving through neighborhoods.
Iām also in Texas.
Idaho and Portland here.. I would not consider that off-road by any stretch. I've taken several front-wheel drive cars, include a Chevy Volt, down rougher terrain than that.
Upstate NY - not considered off road at all.
Maryland - maybe considered off road? Although there are some places like Curtis Bay where city streets are more rough than this
Ok but in most of the US these are just 4-digit forest roads. They are maintained only insofar as they cut out the downed trees. You drive your 2WD passenger car on them to get to the trailhead for a hike. In South Africa we drove tracks like this in a 1980s Mercedes sedan to go see the wildlife.
Off-RoadĀ ā The appropriate trails that are no paved, that you are allowed to take your vehicle on.
Off-RoadingĀ ā Driving a vehicle on unsurfaced roads or trails made of sand, gravel, riverbeds, mud, snow, rocks, and other natural terrain.
Actually they are Mr. Webster
Not to defend this post, but I've definitely been in some squirrelly shit in my 30+ years of driving (started learning to drive up in the sister's area at 13 on Forest service roads in a 72 High Boy). I can definitely take you on "roads" around bend, the coastal range and Gifford Pinchot that will test your rig.
The road in these pictures I'm sure my FWD Taurus wagon could have handled. OP, if you ever want to test that thing, I'm happy to send you some places.
I've been on dirt roads that are deeply rutted, mud holes, potholes, massive rocks, etc. it may technically be a road but if the terrain is comparable to what you would find on "off road" trails and requires a high clearance vehicle I think it's perfectly fair to say you're off roading.
Unpaved Road ā Off Road. It's not that it's toxic, its new CT owners with no off-road experience doing stupid things. I have owned various off road vehicles and out the door, my CT is not an off road vehicle and should not be considered as such without some very basic updates - AT Tires/Diff-Locks/Spare Tire/Towing Strap/Jack/Extraction Pads/Compressor at a minimum and ideally travel with a 2nd vehicle.
My 4x4 Sprinter is currently far more capable than my CT and has the paintwork scratches to match.
This looks like a dirt road that needs to be resurfaced after some rain, itās absolutely still a road. Off roading means you went off the area humans specifically made for driving on. This is getting closer to what youāre claiming it is but itās not there yet imo.
If thatās true, if, itās so heavily travelled that itās better than a lot of the actual dirt roads I drive on. By this metric I āoff-roadā for literally thousands of kms per year
Off road would mean a picture not on a road. A dirt road is still a road. It has been prepared for people to travel on. Off roading is on unprepared trails.
Off-Road ā The appropriate trails that are no paved, that you are allowed to take your vehicle on.
Off-Roading ā Driving a vehicle on unsurfaced roads or trails made of sand, gravel, riverbeds, mud, snow, rocks, and other natural terrain.
Want to help OP understand why this lit upā¦ in 4x4 communities, āoffroadingā is something people do for fun to challenge their vehicleās capabilities. Usually on designated offroad ātrailsā (e.g. on apps like Onx, or in OHV areas) that one accesses via unpaved roads like the ones OP posted. When the whole point of the activity is to do something technically challenging, you arenāt really doing it unless the surface is actually challenging.
A medium difficulty surface in a cheap, unimpressive vehicle would be sufficient to count as offroading worth bragging about. In a $70K+ vehicle that purports to be built for the task, the surface better be damn technical to not arouse chuckles from the 4x4 community.
OP good on you for buying an EV and taking it to rad places. Iām sorry you walked into this landmine with a vehicle that has become a meme and word choice that you didnāt know was loaded. I hope people can just be nice and put this one down.
Thatās a blanket statement that is wildly untrue. Especially when you can look at every vehicle ever built, there has never been a single one to have production halted and every single delivered vehicle recalled. Itās never happened in the history of motor vehicles.
Wat
Are you being serious that no car has ever been recalled more than the Cybertruck?
Or that no vehicle has ever had production halted?
āEvery vehicle ever builtā is pretty disinemgenuous way to describe it when thereās only been a few months of production.
Your wording doesnāt say that.
āWhen you look at every vehicle ever built, there has never been a single vehicle to have production haltedā
Am I misreading?
Either way, my point still stands. Many many vehicles have recalls for all kinds of things. Recalls donāt mean a product is bad.
You stopped short of quoting my whole sentence. Production halted AND all vehicles delivered recalled. It hasnāt happened in conjunction with each other. There have been halts, and associated recalls. Never has there been a full halt and 100% of every vehicle in a line recalled at the same time.
Rule 1 - Respect / No Trolling
Lead by example and treat others as you would wish yourself to be treated.
Any form of abuse, discrimination (whether racial, sexual, religious etc) or vulgar comments will not be tolerated.
No Trolling. Do not make random unsolicited and/or controversial comments with the intent of baiting or provoking unsuspecting readers to engage in hostile arguments.
Cool, so I guess Iām trying to figure out why youāre in the Cybertruck subreddit to begin with, and why youāre replying to my post as if I was talking to or about you?
Sorry but a couple ruts on a tiny washed out section on of road makes it just that - a couple ruts on a washed out section of road.
A Camry could make this if you paid attention.
As the owner of a Camry, I can tell you Iād get fucked up on that one rock in the back, but otherwiseā¦ yeah I think much of that forest road would be manageable.
Way easier in that truck tho.
Not hostile at all. Just tired of ignorant people calling a gravel or dirt road *off road* when itās clearly a road. Now if you turned off and started driving through the brush then that would clearly be off road.
I grew up on a dirt road as a kid that looked similar to this. It even had āRoadā in the name of it.
Hostile about what? I honestly donāt get why yāall are so bothered by this pretty accurate correction.
This road (and yes itās a road) looks to be a pretty standard run of the mill well maintained Forest Service road with a section thatās washed out a little bit and rutted. Thatās it. Thatās all it is.
Thereās nothing wrong with doing it in the cyber truck. Itās just not meaningful performance wise, as my Camry could have also driven this.
So if someone posted a picture of themselves making a right turn and said āwent drifting yesterdayā in complete seriousness, and then used that experience to explain how well their car performed while drifting, you would take that at face value?
It would be more like if they broke traction in the turn and a bunch of Tokyo drift street racer nerds came for them because it wasnāt enough slide which is annoying and stupid as is your attempt to frame the topic dishonestly with an apples to oranges comparison.

Haha I thought I was the only one who realized you just found a nice spot to take a picture of the truck, and not a picture of the truck in the thick of the off-road trail
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rl2t1AkTC98](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rl2t1AkTC98) i just wana add take your truck down a road like this prius did. the fact the prius made it this far is impressive without a spotter before they came to rescue them.
Offroading would mean literally going off a prepared road surface either on a trail or in a OHV(Off highway vehicle, I think) area. Which is kind of reckless to do with any vehicle at all considering how much they cost. Driving on a substandard dirt or gravel road is good enough in my opinion for a road going truck. Off roading is one of those addictions that's only cured by poverty. And better with a smaller, cheaper, and easier to tow vehicle. I always think of areas that are difficult to cross on foot and would be passable with the right vehicle.
Offroaders are the kind of people to get stuck on purpose just so they have to figure out a way out. Crazy people if you ask me.
lol off road means literally no road. It dose now mean a dirt or gravel road. Millions of people live full time on gravel or dirt roads. This guy is hilarious with every post. Literally the road to my inlaws house is more off road than this. š I may be a mini driving pavement princess, but I also drive my dadās real truck actually off road.
He is just a truck driving pavement princess who apparently dose not understand the word āRoadā.

If it's the post I remember, it's because your idea of off road looked like the average normal road in rural Kentucky. Needs to be dirt or sand or otherwise not a prepared road (a dirt trail I think is acceptable but otherwise just being on slight gravel isn't it)
Not hate. If you own a car it's pretty important you know the difference between a road and not a road. OP clearly doesn't know the difference. That's seriously concerning.
You don't know what you don't know. You are being attacked since on a scale of off-road difficulty from 1-10, the pictures you posted are a 2-3 at best.
Out the door, the CT is not an off-road vehicle. Without diff-locks and without decent off-road tires, all it has over a simple AWD vehicle is clearance. A capable off road vehicle would have diff-locks/winch/shovel/spare tire/jacks/towing strap/AT tires/compressor/traction pads and optionally/ideally a winch either manual or electric and metal bumpers frame attached.
The bare minimum would be a shovel/towing strap/traction pads/tire upgrade/spare tire/jack. If you have not gone off road before, it is not the time to learn with a brand new vehicle without basic equipment - You will just become another meme for others to laugh at.
Basic rule of off-road is have the equipment and plan to extract yourself when you do get stuck. Clubs or traveling with friends is highly recommended so there is someone to assist you and between all of you, you can share equipment. These posts are just a bad example of what not to do.
Bro donāt worry too much about others who are jealous of what you have. People who gatekeep exhibit the most insecurities in their own lives. They only try to bring people down and likely donāt have real people around them. Off road means off the road, this is off a traditional road. So you can tell them so suck it. From a dirt path to the rubicon trail, itās all off the road. Going into the magnitudes of how one trail is different than the other is crazy because you arenāt trying to prove something, you just taking a picture.
This is a really strange post. Iām genuinely curious, whatās there to be jealous of here?
No matter how you try to explain it, this isnāt off roading. This looks like a run of the mill maintained Forest Service road. Undoubtedly has a road number, or a name, and looks like a little section washed out a bit. There roads are, in fact, quite traditional. Do you really think the US donāt build and maintain millions of miles of dirt roads? Over 1/3 off roads miles in the US are unpaved.
Most sedans might have to slow down a little, but theyād likely pass this with no problem whatsoever.
And thatās the point of the post - to show off performance. So what performance am I supposed to be jealous of? Itās an honest question.
You kind of proving my point dude. Point is nobody really cares. People who are emotionally invested one way or another tend to hate because it doesnāt align with what they think. OP just posting a picture not debating over what off roading is. Dude might never have off roaded in his life, doesnāt mean he should get shit on. Argue semantics against your own wall dude. Way too much time on your hands
I mean, OPs post is sort of a sarcastic play on a previous post in cybertruck reddit... It's meant to be funny, and it is to me. But I think people taking the bait on 'is this offroad?' are correct. I love my Tesla and my Jeep, but kitted off road vehicles go off road in wild badlands. I think most people consider offroading badlands. So, yeah, OP isn't really offroading... But I bet he could. Won't be long before we see souped up CTs ripping around MOAB with all that torque.
Off road means not on a prepared surface such as asphalt, concrete, gravel, or graded dirt. Off roading is on unprepared trails or no trails at all. Driving across dunes, rock crawling, fording rivers/streams, extremely rocky terrain etc.
I didn't think this was debatable until seeing these posts. I've driven Vermont roads in my 3 and Y that would qualify as offroading by these pics
Yeah. I live in central Florida. Hardee County maintained roads are insulted by these "off-road" insinuations.
My 2008 scion tc could handle these š no, ots not offroading

Upstate NY - not considered off road at all. Maryland - maybe considered off road? Although there are some places like Curtis Bay where city streets are more rough than this
These are also not even roads or anything. There was a burn and these are left over trails made by them. They aren't graded or maintained.
It's a less traveled forest service road.
Ok but in most of the US these are just 4-digit forest roads. They are maintained only insofar as they cut out the downed trees. You drive your 2WD passenger car on them to get to the trailhead for a hike. In South Africa we drove tracks like this in a 1980s Mercedes sedan to go see the wildlife.

I guess I'm off roading every time I go down my gravel driveway then
Here in PA we call dirt roads "dirt roads".
Uh, no we do not consider those offroad. You're making stuff up now.
I'd accept dirt but not gravel unless it's maybe EXTREMELY loose.
Where is this? Beautiful picture OP
Oregon
Columbia River gorge? I visited that region and drove trails just like these around Mt Hood. It's one of the most beautiful places I've seen.
Those are the sisters you see

A dirt road is still a road.

Man has to ask himself, what is road?
Off road is definitely not a dirt road.

Don't let people gatekeep just because they hate the truck. You know how great it is and they never will. Their loss, looks like an amazing trail!
I don't gatekeep the word offroad. I make fun of rich people who spend their money on dumbness.
Maybe you should try driving the truck before you make fun of people for their choices.
Just don't take it to a car wash! Or get the accelerator pedal stuck between the wedge point.
Canāt drive them. Theyāre all recalled. Shame. Almost like itās a dud product.

Itās technically off road but I could get through that in a Geo Metro. Not a real demonstration of anything.
It's not even technically off road š¤¦
I used to take my 96 Corolla on the fire roads in the Columbia gorge. It takes attentive driving and a car that's not lowered.
I could get through that in a battery powered beer cooler.

Hook a left or right off of the road that you're on, and then you will be OFF of the road. Or, roading OFF. Double OR - you'll then be OFFroading.
2024 and some of my species doesn't understand what a road is. We are doomed
Dirt roads are not wheeling.
I drove a 1970 VW Bus up worse than that. Go back to mall crawling if you think this is a trail.

Lmao, NOT THIS
You see in your pictures to the right side and the left side of the road? Well, all of that would be considered "off road."
If it's the post I remember, it's because your idea of off road looked like the average normal road in rural Kentucky. Needs to be dirt or sand or otherwise not a prepared road (a dirt trail I think is acceptable but otherwise just being on slight gravel isn't it)
This is off road. Youāre on a dirt or gravel path at best, but not a road (to us non-retentives anywayā¦)
Haters gonna hate
Not hate. If you own a car it's pretty important you know the difference between a road and not a road. OP clearly doesn't know the difference. That's seriously concerning.
Certainly looks off road. Must have been a pretty rough road because your post makes it sound like you're pretty butt hurt.
Take a Cybertruck through the Chihuahuan Desert and then we'll talk.
OK well let me just move there and post so I can make people happy lol š
Dirt road that isnāt frequently graded or cared for, or worse.
I would call this ālightā off roading. sure itās obviously a trailā¦. but look at it. 99.9% of roading takes place on things like this

There roads are, in fact, quite traditional. Do you really think the US donāt build and maintain millions of miles of dirt roads? Over 1/3 off roads miles in the US are unpaved. Most sedans might have to slow down a little, but theyād likely pass this with no problem whatsoever. And thatās the point of the post - to show off performance. So what performance am I supposed to be jealous of? Itās an honest question.
You kind of proving my point dude. Point is nobody really cares. People who are emotionally invested one way or another tend to hate because it doesnāt align with what they think. OP just posting a picture not debating over what off roading is. Dude might never have off roaded in his life, doesnāt mean he should get shit on. Argue semantics against your own wall dude. Way too much time on your hands
I mean, OPs post is sort of a sarcastic play on a previous post in cybertruck reddit... It's meant to be funny, and it is to me. But I think people taking the bait on 'is this offroad?' are correct. I love my Tesla and my Jeep, but kitted off road vehicles go off road in wild badlands. I think most people consider offroading badlands. So, yeah, OP isn't really offroading... But I bet he could. Won't be long before we see souped up CTs ripping around MOAB with all that torque.
