Spotted stuck at the Badlands Off-Road Park in Attica, IN. Any of you responsible?!

That was very kind of him to let everyone use his truck as a bridge across that stream...

The offroading equivalent of throwing yourself on the concertina wire to let other people walk over.

May be a legitimate use of the Cybertruck?

I would have no problem trying a crossing like this if it wasn't so muddy and I had someone available to pull me out in case it went like this. The depth wasn't the problem, appears to be a mud issue. As I understand no damage was done, I think it was posted on Instagram.

Well it would be more of a slide then a bridge but I guess that could be fun as long as you avoid the wiper.

Wondering how long those batteries were left marinating in all that muck.

Hope she got recovered, pronto, but don’t see much evidence of any effort in this single pic.

I was told it was pulled out after a 3.5hr recovery effort. Muck soup :swear:

Rivian's (or any large EV) Achilles heel seems to be mud.. those ATs turn into slicks the second you lose grip and it's game over with all that weight and no traction.

A Cybertruck could never get stuck like that because a Cybertruck can walk on water.

Just sail on down to a flats area and drive right out.. slick as snot!!

Boy, people will park anywhere to flex on a cybertruck's wading depth.
