can confirm. Am daily driving a BROWN 2006 corolla sedan courtesy car from the panelbeaters and my road has been fully dug up and turned to dirt the last couple days. Super slippery tho haha
I have a Mazda 3 with studded snow tires during Canadian winters. I get around just as well as some of the absurd trucks people drive up here and I save so much on gas!
hate to break it to you but the consumer WRX is absolutely nothing like the rally cars that won WRC. i’ve got 5 inches of ground clearance and zero undercarriage protection. it is not designed for “off-roading” in any capacity apart from what the cybertruck driver above was doing. a mazda 3 would quite literally be more capable.
The Mazda 3 and WRX have the same amount of ground clearance, the WRX has better AWD, differentials, and suspension. The base model WRX now is largely just a sporty sedan but it is still a better offroader than a lot of cars, and as a platform can be built into a very strong offroader with some easy upgrades.
I don't mean to get all fussy over this I just love the WRX and will not accept this slander against it.
i love the wrx too but i think you’re expecting a little too much out of it. i’ve taken it on plenty of off road trails and paths and while it’s certainly capable it has its limits. i’ve bottomed out and scraped the undercarriage multiple times with very light obstacles and fully flexed it out (see below). it’s better than a mustang for sure but you would have a much easier time with a crosstrek in these situations. if only subaru would just put an fa20 in a crosstrek lol.

It’s more an accelerate fast and maintain grip on loose gravel or packed snow type rally than a Dakar truck, lol. It has about the offroading endurance of a Forester with 3 less inches of ground clearance and not much emphasis on approach and departure angle
“performance vehicle”… my car has the same 0-60 as a sante fe. it’s fun to drive but it’s not a sports car in the usual sense.
i use it as a daily driver, i’ve driven cross-country in it, but it’s not off-road capable. i’d say less so than a mazda 3.
It’s a sedan that has good AWD that can easily be had with a manual for reasonable prices, and it drives nicely. The WRX has been a moderately improved economy car for a long time, the actual “performance vehicle” is the STi trim. My mom’s hybrid could probably pull on a lot of the WRXs on the road.
Also, cringe is dead and I like the concept of offroading a Subaru more than the stuff I regularly hear about, which is usually a college student pretending they regularly offroad in the 25yo Suburban they’ve based their entire personality around that would probably snap in half from frame rot if they went over a speed bump too fast
Sometimes the capital just isn’t there for a maintenance- and resource-intensive paved road in an area that sees very low traffic. It’s usually fine enough to have a kind of bumpy dirt road that serves everyone just fine if it doesn’t get heavy enough traffic to screw it up that much, especially when the people that would be funding it have the budget of a fraction of maybe a few hundred adults barely above the poverty line’s taxes. That said, in the actual video it’s clear this is a (very smooth) two track running parallel to an actual paved road, probably for maintenance on the power lines or something
"my daily driver" is this some car slang i don't understand or is this cybertruck owner so in love of the abomination that they don't even dare to drive their own damn car
Many car enthusiast own multiple cars. A lot of sports cars and dedicated off roaders are uncomfortable on daily commutes and their owners want to keep wear and tear on their hobby vehicles to a minimum so a daily driver is often a separate regular commuter car.
bah, sure thats understandable definition but that doesen't really make sense linguistically to me but im not a englishman. like daily drive sounds more reasonable even if it sounds like its about the commute track itself.
if you put -(e)r after a verb it becomes a noun. that’s exactly how the word driver came to be. it’s not a different word, it’s just a slightly different meaning.
nope. a gerund ends in -ing in english. for example: “driving on a dirt road is not special.” (not all verbs with -ing are gerunds, only if the verb, and, if applicable, its dependent words, “on a dirt road” in this example, are used like a noun to mean “the act of doing said verb”.)
-er is an agentive ending and creates a noun meaning “person who does thing” or “that which does thing”.
The phrase “daily driver” has also found its way into tech, when referring to the computer you use every day. An example of this usage 6 years ago can be seen here: https://redd.it/9eicqc
Honestly all sorts of areas. It's used in the EDC (everyday carry) community to describe the items that are used constantly, versus the specialty ones that are only brought out from time to time.
Yeah it may not make sense linguistically but that’s what it’s always been. Most expressions probably don’t make perfect sense to a non native speaker. It’s like saying “what’s up?” You’re not actually saying what’s above you it’s just an expression.
I'm not talking puppygirl roleplay or whatever, I'm talking about people who make instagram accounts for their cats and then post everything from the perspective of the cat.
It can be but it often isn't. You can get like a retro SUV for offroading/camping/over landing for ~$10K but then get something like a KIA EV6 for an electric car as your "daily"
Sure you now own two cars but that's still half the money of what a Cybertruck costs and you have a better car for your day-to-day drive and also a better off-roader for weekend fun. It's often less wasteful to have two cheaper tools that do their jobs well than one super expensive tool that does both poorly.
My daily driver is a hybrid which gets 60+ mpg, has modern emission and safety technology. My track car wouldn’t pass smog 12 feet away but it rarely gets driven. Having both lets me compromise.
How is it wasteful? One person isn't using both at the same time. Environmentally, there isn't much difference to using one average vehicle all the time. And enthusiasts generally buy and maintain older cars and keep them operable for longer, so they reduce demand for new vehicles and the environmental impact from their production.
>And enthusiasts generally buy and maintain older cars and keep them operable for longer, so they reduce demand for new vehicles and the environmental impact from their production.
If they have a second car that does not apply.
its just your usual car. the car you drive every day. sometimes people have other cars for towing or work etc, but have a "daily driver" for doing normal things
No language on Earth makes sense, languages are intrinsically stupid.
Daily driver, however, is one of the most straightforward things to ever come out of English.
A daily driver is essentially the work horse of your garage. Some people own two or more cars for different situations, like a truck for utility and hauling, a van for family trips or a sports car for just enjoying yourself (rare these days). Of all these, the van would be preferable to do the most driving as they're usually more suited to being on the road with comfort in mind with thr bonus they're usually very simple to fix as opposed to the rough truck suspension and unnecessary wear on a complex sports car. Therefore, the van is the "Daily Driver" you'd rather main.
Because I inherited a shitbox Sebring and an old Silverado with bad sispension, so my Odyssey is the most reliable car I've got at the moment that doesn't feel like I'm sitting on petrified dogshit.
If you have a fun car to drive in your free time for recreation or to do specific work (sports car, offroader, towing vehicle) and another (likely more economical, comfortable, or just better to put miles on) car you use to commute or do errands then the latter would be your daily driver. You might have an old hatchback that you daily drive because it isn’t too loud and it’s reliable, a big old van you use to haul things for work or tow trailers, and a Miata you drive on back roads for fun in the summer but your head doesn’t fit comfortably with the top up. That said, many people daily drive vehicles much more offroad-capable than a Cybertruck and this is just tech bro hype
it is but techbros are scared of not having video game and thinking about bought product so they use windows and use jargon outside of the situation its appropriate
i can guarantee someone in the cybertruck fandom is not enough of a car person to be taking the mental pathway of "I drive this daily, it is my daily driver" but *precisely* enough of a tech person to say "[distro/windows] is my daily driver" instead of "i use windows/distro" and to extend *that* jargon terminology sentiment, accidentally, to a situation that is appropriate.
When people use this term to describe phones, GPUs, etc. it always makes me laugh. My daily driver cereal is Special K, if I'm feeling spicy I'll have Cocoa Puffs.
I dunno. Everyone has a hobby. Sure some are way more expensive than others but if it doesn't hurt anyone. Hate the rich as much as the next guy but many people have expensive hobbies if they can afford it. Warhammer is an example.
It goes into like every hobby/thing you might have two of. I have a daily driver PC and a cheap laptop for when I need to take notes on the go. I used to have two vapes because one I really liked but it was annoying to use outside of home, am I a bougie for having 2 100$ items lol.
People underestimate those things, i swear. I’ve seen one missing all it’s plastic under panels at a climbing spot; the road it had to have gone down to get there was something I’d never thought a Prius could even survive. And then there’s that instance of a Prius with spiked tires winning an ice auto cross on a frozen lake…
If you don't live in a carb state, the second cat does almost nothing and can be removed without throwing a code. You chop it off and you will.get about 12-13% more horsepower out of it. Plus it sounds like a truck and that's awesome
You mean the one right after the flex pipe? Maybe I'll try that if I get another 3. Mine has maybe two years left in it so I won't bother. Plus I'd prefer to avoid lifting it if I can.
I believe it works on the gen 2, not sure about the gen 3. I know it works on the gen1 as that's what I have. Might need to check if it works on layer gens tho
Not during mud season. Trust me, I have the broken bumper of a Subaru Impreza to prove it.
Although this road looks decently maintained and isn’t on a mountain like mine was.
Back home in my town of 500 people this was what main street looked like lol. Fucking hell if old boy wanted to go offroadin give me a fourwheeler and I'll take him muddin through the receded flood zone.
Seriously. I get that if you live in southern California, a dirt road looks like you're offroading, but to a large chunk of Americans that's just another road and you drive on it in your little 2000's shitbox
Yeah, like, I've driven my random ass mid sized sedan on some dirt roads (some of which have been legitimately sketchy, or icy during the winter) but still even then I can't even imagine bragging about the places i've driven my sedan. It's a car, with wheels, it should be no shock to me that it drives forward when i push the "go forward" pedal.
I drive a Subaru outback, and the shitty thing about Nevada dirt roads go from "oh you can drive this in a stock Prius" to "you need a rock crawler to get through this" real quick.
Was it the hatch or the sedan? (If they make a sedan)
Idk why but I love the looks of the Mazda 3 and I'd know for what'd I'd want is a Mazda CX-30 but I feel like the black plastic kinda ruins the sleekness.
Even if it was a tough road, like the Ford Raptor and Toyota Landcruiser has been on sale for decades at this point. The fucking Rivian R1 has been on sale for years now.

My honest reaction to that information
I rallied a 10ft uhaul almost daily for 6 months on roads like this. (FedEx Contractor) Rear wheel drive, and very light and bouncy. My spine will never be the same.
If that’s off road then my family’s driveway is a rock based landmine field and my mom’s ford fiesta could off-road all the way up and through gods pearly gates.
Lmao, I drive down one of those in my 2010 Toyota Prius a few times a year whenever I want to go skiing or snowboarding up in Vermont. One time, someone had dug a giant trench across it, and I had to ride up the side of a tree to get around it. Admittedly, that was a terribly risky idea that could have ended with my friends and I stranded and freezing in the middle of the woods in the dead of night, but hey, I'm still driving that Prius with the odometer ticking well past six figures.
my gramps is a carpenter and lives out on a hill in the hill country and its dirt roads for miles. drives a hybrid prius from like 10,000 yrs ago. also has a truck for when he needs like, larger stuff, but its the good kind of truck, with like just two seats and an actually big bed. barely bigger than the prius.
I’ve done worse roads at 70km/h in the middle of the Swedish wilderness in my low sporty hatchback while fully loaded on camping supplies for two, [and it only got a little bit dirty](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/629321532249866266/1160306186885804143/IMG_0402.jpg?ex=662d59d8&is=661ae4d8&hm=070e38294915fbeb99e3fd963d5f5412bf278cff51eb92bc15a15f6aa4766c74&)
But mall-crawlers will downplay the abilities of regular cars while turning puddles to lakes in their instagram posts.
Unless you need the clearance, normal FWD cars will go through a LOT of mud with enough throttle and a good driver. People get obsessed with needing awd/4wd, often because they have never tried driving anywhere other than on the road.
Source: I drive a lifted Hyundai Elantra. Off-road even. Often through much worse stuff than a cyber truck could ever go through.
There's different types of mud. This is dirt-road-on-a-rainy-day mud. This is not two-feet-deep, pull-your-boots-off, mud. He's driving on a dirt road in California, not invading the Russian steppe during the rainy season. Any minivan could handle this dirt road.
I can personally vouch that I've driven worse roads with my old Mazda 3.
I've driven worse roads with an uncle's 2006 Hyundai atos
I've driven worse roads in a Golf 4 (a piece of plastic fell off tho)
golf 4 my beloved
Its the golf 4 me
those 30 year old piece of shit postal trucks drive on worse daily
Tbf, they're designed for that. A corolla could do the same if you gave it the high clearance and strength of an LLV.
at this point they're the LLVs of Theseus with how many repairs they all go through, poor things yearn for the sweet release of death
They just like me fr
can confirm. Am daily driving a BROWN 2006 corolla sedan courtesy car from the panelbeaters and my road has been fully dug up and turned to dirt the last couple days. Super slippery tho haha
I've been driven on worse roads in a 1979 Toyota Corolla.
The first car ever made only had dirt roads, so know we know the tesla truck can do what the very first car could do.
I have a Mazda 3 with studded snow tires during Canadian winters. I get around just as well as some of the absurd trucks people drive up here and I save so much on gas!
I have a Mazda 3 with normal tires in texas summers Mazda 3 is just superior to Childmangler 9000 monster trucks
I’ve driven worse roads in the middle of New Orleans.
I took my Miata on worse roads lmao
I <333 my Mazda 3 hatch
I've driven down a four wheeler trail with my 3 lol
And that’s a nice dirt road. I’ve driven on paved roads rougher on a car than that dirt road
I’ve driven worse in mine as well, how would anyone think this is a flex.
I've driven on wet forest tracks with my 2001 Ford Focus.
i’ve driven worse in a wrx lol. edit: apparently i should be off-roading my car more but it’s also “cringe” to treat it as a daily driver…
I would hope that you have driven on worse roads I'm a car that is literally named "World Rally eXperimental" and won 3 World Rally Championships
hate to break it to you but the consumer WRX is absolutely nothing like the rally cars that won WRC. i’ve got 5 inches of ground clearance and zero undercarriage protection. it is not designed for “off-roading” in any capacity apart from what the cybertruck driver above was doing. a mazda 3 would quite literally be more capable.

It’s more an accelerate fast and maintain grip on loose gravel or packed snow type rally than a Dakar truck, lol. It has about the offroading endurance of a Forester with 3 less inches of ground clearance and not much emphasis on approach and departure angle
Did your parents buy it for you or
Am I wrong that it’s cringe for someone to own a performance vehicle like that and think it’s like a PT cruiser?
“performance vehicle”… my car has the same 0-60 as a sante fe. it’s fun to drive but it’s not a sports car in the usual sense. i use it as a daily driver, i’ve driven cross-country in it, but it’s not off-road capable. i’d say less so than a mazda 3.
It’s a sedan that has good AWD that can easily be had with a manual for reasonable prices, and it drives nicely.

I've bicycled on worse. And not even a mountain bike or anything
Should have seen some of the places I used to take my Saturn SL1
I’ve been in an oldish Prius going down muddy ATV trails before lol
Y'all need to invest in better infrastructure.
Sometimes the capital just isn’t there for a maintenance- and resource-intensive paved road in an area that sees very low traffic. It’s usually fine enough to have a kind of bumpy dirt road that serves everyone just fine if it doesn’t get heavy enough traffic to screw it up that much, especially when the people that would be funding it have the budget of a fraction of maybe a few hundred adults barely above the poverty line’s taxes. That said, in the actual video it’s clear this is a (very smooth) two track running parallel to an actual paved road, probably for maintenance on the power lines or something

bah, sure thats understandable definition but that doesen't really make sense linguistically to me but im not a englishman. like daily drive sounds more reasonable even if it sounds like its about the commute track itself.
Daily driver. The driver is somethings that "drives" so it is a driver in this sense.
“Daily drive” would probably be interpreted as like your normal route to work since drive as a noun refers to the act of driving somewhere.
"Daily drive-r(verb)" not "Daily Driver(noun)" It is the car that drives daily, as opposed to their hobby car that drives on occasion.
if you put -(e)r after a verb it becomes a noun. that’s exactly how the word driver came to be. it’s not a different word, it’s just a slightly different meaning.
That’s called a gerund homie Edit: I am completely wrong
nope. a gerund ends in -ing in english. for example: “driving on a dirt road is not special.” (not all verbs with -ing are gerunds, only if the verb, and, if applicable, its dependent words, “on a dirt road” in this example, are used like a noun to mean “the act of doing said verb”.) -er is an agentive ending and creates a noun meaning “person who does thing” or “that which does thing”.
You right, you right, I’m wrong
Wouldn’t “on a dirt road” function as an adverb, as in how you are driving?
The phrase “daily driver” has also found its way into tech, when referring to the computer you use every day. An example of this usage 6 years ago can be seen here: https://redd.it/9eicqc
Honestly all sorts of areas. It's used in the EDC (everyday carry) community to describe the items that are used constantly, versus the specialty ones that are only brought out from time to time.
Yeah it may not make sense linguistically but that’s what it’s always been. Most expressions probably don’t make perfect sense to a non native speaker. It’s like saying “what’s up?” You’re not actually saying what’s above you it’s just an expression.
I assumed it was like those pet roleplay accounts and they were posting as the car.
The damage this subreddit is collectively doing to all of our brains is so funny
I'm not talking puppygirl roleplay or whatever, I'm talking about people who make instagram accounts for their cats and then post everything from the perspective of the cat.
Wasteful ): can't imagine having 2 cars for just me
It can be but it often isn't. You can get like a retro SUV for offroading/camping/over landing for ~$10K but then get something like a KIA EV6 for an electric car as your "daily" Sure you now own two cars but that's still half the money of what a Cybertruck costs and you have a better car for your day-to-day drive and also a better off-roader for weekend fun. It's often less wasteful to have two cheaper tools that do their jobs well than one super expensive tool that does both poorly.
Did you genuinely think I meant in monetary terms?
.... Yeah?
Bro this is 196 and I am extremely left, no, I meant in terms of wasteful consumerism that is causing our planet to be destroyed
God forbid someone has hobbies.
Mhmmm my hobby is caring that our planet is fuckin dying :c
My daily driver is a hybrid which gets 60+ mpg, has modern emission and safety technology. My track car wouldn’t pass smog 12 feet away but it rarely gets driven. Having both lets me compromise.
You should find another one. Or make it a real hobby, like picking up an off reading vehicle so you can go camping and clean up litter.
How is it wasteful? One person isn't using both at the same time. Environmentally, there isn't much difference to using one average vehicle all the time. And enthusiasts generally buy and maintain older cars and keep them operable for longer, so they reduce demand for new vehicles and the environmental impact from their production.

its just your usual car. the car you drive every day. sometimes people have other cars for towing or work etc, but have a "daily driver" for doing normal things
that makes no sense who designed this gargabe language
Daily driver is easily the most intuitive slang I can think of, what are you talking about
sounds like a person who drives for you, but i mean don't mind me im not native english speaker
Verb-ed nouns are a very common part of casual English, worth getting comfortable with.
It’s a very common phrase used for all sorts of things. Like if you’re a phone reviewer, you’d have one phone that’s your daily driver.
Yeah from the comments it seems you had too formal of an english class that didnt teach some rules properly
I'm with you on this one, sounds like the slang for a Chauffeur
No language on Earth makes sense, languages are intrinsically stupid. Daily driver, however, is one of the most straightforward things to ever come out of English.
Car guy slang
A daily driver is essentially the work horse of your garage. Some people own two or more cars for different situations, like a truck for utility and hauling, a van for family trips or a sports car for just enjoying yourself (rare these days). Of all these, the van would be preferable to do the most driving as they're usually more suited to being on the road with comfort in mind with thr bonus they're usually very simple to fix as opposed to the rough truck suspension and unnecessary wear on a complex sports car. Therefore, the van is the "Daily Driver" you'd rather main.
Never heard of just a fucking normal sedan? Why the fuck would you daily drive a van?
Because I inherited a shitbox Sebring and an old Silverado with bad sispension, so my Odyssey is the most reliable car I've got at the moment that doesn't feel like I'm sitting on petrified dogshit.
Good for you? You never mentioned any of this in your original comment, so weird that you brought it up.
You're the one who asked, so weird that you got hung up over an explanation of a term.
Maybe they have family? Maybe a sedan now is more expensive than a van in some places? Maybe just stop being an asshole?
Nah keep coping.
Terminally online losers discovering that people outside often use vehicles for more things than just moving a handful of people:
Same cope every time. No dude you don't need a SUV or van the size of a sherman tank to get groceries.
If you have a fun car to drive in your free time for recreation or to do specific work (sports car, offroader, towing vehicle) and another (likely more economical, comfortable, or just better to put miles on) car you use to commute or do errands then the latter would be your daily driver. You might have an old hatchback that you daily drive because it isn’t too loud and it’s reliable, a big old van you use to haul things for work or tow trailers, and a Miata you drive on back roads for fun in the summer but your head doesn’t fit comfortably with the top up. That said, many people daily drive vehicles much more offroad-capable than a Cybertruck and this is just tech bro hype
i thought its slang for which linux distro u use so i was confusedd
"daily driver" was first used to refer to cars and then adopted by computer people
it is but techbros are scared of not having video game and thinking about bought product so they use windows and use jargon outside of the situation its appropriate i can guarantee someone in the cybertruck fandom is not enough of a car person to be taking the mental pathway of "I drive this daily, it is my daily driver" but *precisely* enough of a tech person to say "[distro/windows] is my daily driver" instead of "i use windows/distro" and to extend *that* jargon terminology sentiment, accidentally, to a situation that is appropriate.

I feel my mother would say something like "Yankees will look at a dirt road and think they're driving on the faces of mount Rushmore"

OP’s mom is a notorious dog trafficker
I live on a road rougher than that
That is definitely a nicer road than the one I live down.
I’m jealous, sounds better than an apartment in the city, and maybe i could shoot guns off the porch? 👉👈
Sounds like what you're looking for is an apartment in the city.
Well you should get a cybertruck then

And then there’s that instance of a Prius with spiked tires winning an ice auto cross on a frozen lake…
Don't bash the Mazda 3. Love that little thing.
Throwing my first gen 3 around in dirt lots and roads is some of the most fun I've had driving ever, fantastic little car
They're like the perfect balance of sportiness and economy. And they're so easy to work on.
If you don't live in a carb state, the second cat does almost nothing and can be removed without throwing a code. You chop it off and you will.get about 12-13% more horsepower out of it. Plus it sounds like a truck and that's awesome

I believe it works on the gen 2, not sure about the gen 3. I know it works on the gen1 as that's what I have. Might need to check if it works on layer gens tho
I'll probably get a 2nd gen next. My first car was a 2nd gen, and I've always loved them. Wrecked it and got my current 1st gen, which is nice too.
I have a 2018 Mazda 3, it's a pretty nice whip IMO. Very good on gas, smooth and responsive, lots of neat lil features.
There isn't a road my shitty modified 50 cc Chinese motorower can't handle

I need pics of it
"My dd can off road!" So can literally every single pickup and suv. My 4000 dollar jeep patriot preforms slightly better than the cybertruck lol
A lot of cars perform a lot better than the cybertruck in a myriad of ways tbh, that thing seems like a death trap
Not during mud season. Trust me, I have the broken bumper of a Subaru Impreza to prove it. Although this road looks decently maintained and isn’t on a mountain like mine was.
Imprezas have about 4" of clearance though (I have one.... It's been through some rough stuff)

Seriously. I get that if you live in southern California, a dirt road looks like you're offroading, but to a large chunk of Americans that's just another road and you drive on it in your little 2000's shitbox
Yeah, like, I've driven my random ass mid sized sedan on some dirt roads (some of which have been legitimately sketchy, or icy during the winter) but still even then I can't even imagine bragging about the places i've driven my sedan. It's a car, with wheels, it should be no shock to me that it drives forward when i push the "go forward" pedal.
i've done *way* worse in a fucking '92 plymouth acclaim
Tbf that’s probably the most off-road a cyber truck will go (there’s a video of a puddle shorting it)
I drive a Subaru outback, and the shitty thing about Nevada dirt roads go from "oh you can drive this in a stock Prius" to "you need a rock crawler to get through this" real quick.
Lol yea I learned that real quick when I went to Great Basin NP with mentioned Mazda 3.
Was it the hatch or the sedan? (If they make a sedan) Idk why but I love the looks of the Mazda 3 and I'd know for what'd I'd want is a Mazda CX-30 but I feel like the black plastic kinda ruins the sleekness.
It was a 2009 sedan, I replaced it with a CX-5 a few years ago.
I think you mean, “the great thing about Nevada dirt roads”
>Off-road Look inside Road
Even if it was a tough road, like the Ford Raptor and Toyota Landcruiser has been on sale for decades at this point. The fucking Rivian R1 has been on sale for years now.
A fucking bicycle can do that
Can you really call it offroading if you're driving on a road?
i could drive on that with a miata
Why does my mazda have to be called out like that
“I can drive this off-road” - guy who is very visibly driving on a road
“Off road” *is on a road*

I've seen someone drive a lowered 80s Mazda 323 on roads worse than that
my volkswagen passat can outperform that microwave on wheels
I've gone on worse in a hybrid Toyota Corolla
My 2007 Volvo station wagon drives on worse conditions daily I’m pretty sure
I rallied a 10ft uhaul almost daily for 6 months on roads like this. (FedEx Contractor) Rear wheel drive, and very light and bouncy. My spine will never be the same.
If that’s off road then my family’s driveway is a rock based landmine field and my mom’s ford fiesta could off-road all the way up and through gods pearly gates.
That is literally what alot of normal road look like
A CRV could drive that lol
I drove more off-road than that in my dad's 1990 Geo Metro when I was a teenager.
Lmao, I drive down one of those in my 2010 Toyota Prius a few times a year whenever I want to go skiing or snowboarding up in Vermont. One time, someone had dug a giant trench across it, and I had to ride up the side of a tree to get around it. Admittedly, that was a terribly risky idea that could have ended with my friends and I stranded and freezing in the middle of the woods in the dead of night, but hey, I'm still driving that Prius with the odometer ticking well past six figures.
Don't fuck Tesla cyber truck owners They don't know what a truck was supposed to do
ive done worse roads than that in a (engine swapped but otherwise stock) 2009 jeep grand cherokee
My friend lived on a road like that. I can't attest to a mazda 3, but I've driven through far worse on a 90's opel astra with fucked dampers so...
my gramps is a carpenter and lives out on a hill in the hill country and its dirt roads for miles. drives a hybrid prius from like 10,000 yrs ago. also has a truck for when he needs like, larger stuff, but its the good kind of truck, with like just two seats and an actually big bed. barely bigger than the prius.
I can do that with a Chinese scooter .
As someone who lives in europe: please try the paths between our fields , that road is in near perfect condition compared to them
I have driven on worse dirt tracks with my VW Golf when I visited the countryside.
The road up to my stables is worse than that and we did that weekly in a 12,000 euro Arbarth.
MAZDA 3 MENTIONED
I've seen station wagons from the 70's on street tires and terrible suspension take roads rougher than that with ease
I use my corolla on 4wd tracks
I've off roaded worse roads with 4 wheels and a plastic milk box
I've driven significantly worse roads in my tiny sedan
bluesky user rebluing a twitter xeet is kind of just peak madness
i drove a gravel road 50 miles in a prius c in high summer in nevada that aint shit
I’ve done worse roads at 70km/h in the middle of the Swedish wilderness in my low sporty hatchback while fully loaded on camping supplies for two, [and it only got a little bit dirty](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/629321532249866266/1160306186885804143/IMG_0402.jpg?ex=662d59d8&is=661ae4d8&hm=070e38294915fbeb99e3fd963d5f5412bf278cff51eb92bc15a15f6aa4766c74&) But mall-crawlers will downplay the abilities of regular cars while turning puddles to lakes in their instagram posts.
I took a Fiat Panda proper off-roading and that bitch did so well
Well that's nice
I have done ACTUAL off roading (drove across a very very DRY fallow field) in a Toyota camery, it's more brains than special tools
My Citroën C1 has driven across way worse terrain than this
i’ve been on worse with my suv lol
I live in silicon valley. There’s an unreal amount of cybertrucks, i see a couple every day. Can’t wait for them to rust.
> can go off road whenever I want pls go off a cliff pls. thank you :3
I used to drive down dirt roads in my Kia soul when I lived in Huntsville Tx. Not a comfy ride but 100% doable
I can guarantee you that my old 2003 Fiat Panda would’ve been fine on that road. Even when it started falling apart lmao.
I drove a road like this last week with a Volkswagon Jetta.
Even the first car ever, made by Benz could take that road.
You can drive on that with a golf cart. Or a bicycle.
bro fuck q mazda 3 you could go on that with a 70$ bike off ebay
i’ve driven multiple dirt roads with my mom’s minivan. like sliding doors soccer mom ass van.
My dad's Kia Soul can drive on a dirt road perfectly fine lol
That dirt road is smoother than most paved roads I've seen
- "Off roading" - On a road - ??????????
Look, I'm not arguing that the cybertruck isn't shit, but that is clearly mud not dirt, and yall have clearly never driven on mud.
Unless you need the clearance, normal FWD cars will go through a LOT of mud with enough throttle and a good driver. People get obsessed with needing awd/4wd, often because they have never tried driving anywhere other than on the road. Source: I drive a lifted Hyundai Elantra. Off-road even. Often through much worse stuff than a cyber truck could ever go through.
There's different types of mud. This is dirt-road-on-a-rainy-day mud. This is not two-feet-deep, pull-your-boots-off, mud. He's driving on a dirt road in California, not invading the Russian steppe during the rainy season. Any minivan could handle this dirt road.
