One Tesla Cybertruck owner decided to take their $100,000+ stainless steel pickup truck to the next level by giving it a “Carolina Squat” makeover. This unconventional modification has caused quite a stir online, with many people expressing shock and disbelief at the sight of a Cybertruck sporting this new look.
The owner, identified as Tesla influencer Joe Fay, shared his Carolina Squat Cybertruck on various social media platforms, including TikTok and YouTube. The truck’s suspension was adjusted to achieve this look, with Fay providing a tutorial for others who may want to follow suit.
To achieve the Carolina Squat, Fay first set the Cybertruck’s suspension to its highest setting, known as extract mode. He then accessed a hidden menu by pressing the Cybertruck logo and typing in the word “service.” This allowed him to manually deflate the airbags in the rear suspension, causing the truck to tilt forward.
While the Carolina Squat may appeal to some, many have criticized the modification, calling it unnecessary and even dangerous. Some have questioned the safety and drivability of the Cybertruck in this altered state.
Interestingly, Fay is not the only Cybertruck owner to have embraced the Carolina Squat trend. Photos posted on the r/CyberStuck SubReddit show other Cybertrucks, including one owned by Kyle Connor of Out of Spec, with the same modification.
Despite the attention it has garnered, experts advise against attempting the Carolina Squat on a Cybertruck. Not only does it compromise the vehicle’s functionality, but it also detracts from the original design of the futuristic electric pickup truck.
In conclusion, while the Carolina Squat may have its supporters, it is clear that this modification is not for everyone. As with any vehicle alteration, it is important to consider the implications for safety and performance before making changes to a high-tech vehicle like the Tesla Cybertruck. Let’s hope that owners will prioritize functionality and safety over flashy modifications in the future.
