Tesla considers adding a new ‘stuck detection' feature to Cybertruck. Here’s why.
By now, you've probably seen the viral videos of the Tesla Cybertruck get stuck trying to do, well, truck things. Videos such as the oneshowing a Cybertruck struggle to get through a little bit of snow in an off-road setting have spread all over the internet.
But is this a Cybertruck issue? Or has the Cybertruck opened up off-road driving to a new audience who is inexperienced with what they need to do with their new truck? Perhaps it's a combination of the two.
Nevertheless, it appears Tesla realizes it's their problem to solve.
In a post on X, Cybertruck lead engineer Wes Morrill shared that he has considered adding a "stuck detection" feature to the Cybertruck to help drivers deal with all the issues he's seen arise in these viral Cybertruck videos.
What will Cybertruck "stuck detection" do?
According to Morrill, his idea for "stuck detection" consists of a pop-up feature that appears on the Cybertruck's dashboard screen when the vehicle detects that the driver is stuck and provides tips to help them get unstuck.
Some examples of suggestions that "stuck detection" could offer drivers include "air down tires, try using trail assist, raise ride height, try sand mode, etc."

"No one is an expert the first time they drive off-road but anyone can learn," Morrill said.
The Cybertruck lead engineer shared his idea in a reply to another X user who was criticizing Tucker Carlson after the right-wing talk show host posted a video testing out his Cybertruck, which got stuck in the mud.
While new truck drivers may be partially responsible for the Tesla vehicle getting stuck, this seems to be just one aspect of a broader issue.
There have been numerous instances showing that there are issues with the Cybertruck design and production. Perhaps the most notable example was the accelerator pedalgetting stuck — an issue that has since been fixed and prompted a Cybertruck recall.
Mashable will continue to follow this story and provide updates if "stuck detection" for the Cybertruck goes beyond the idea stage.
