There’s something tragic about Cybertruck owners, and it’s nothing to do with Elon.

They seem to be wildly impressed by their vehicle doing the most mediocre things that any AWD vehicle can do.

things that any AWD vehicle can do.

Not any AWD; you probably want high ground clearance too.

I wouldn’t go fording streams in a Subaru WRX, for instance.

A Subaru Impreza definitely could have done what the Cybertruck did in that video though.

Nah. The Impreza doesn’t even have a weird roller top for its cargo bed, let alone a fragile and poorly-designed one.

I don’t know about an Impreza, but I know my '07 Audi A6 Allroad could easily take on this level of water. I’m fairly sure that a Subaru Outback could as well, they tend to be about the same height (US spec ones are even higher I believe - I owned one, it was about 2 cm taller than any EUDM ones of the same generation I’ve seen)

What I had in my head was something like this, a street-tuner Impreza that’s been lowered:

The point was that just because something’s AWD doesn’t inherently mean by itself that it’s a good idea to take it off-road.
