Physics still exists, so it’s possible that this person is just a moron and it was too steep/slippery to slow. However 26 degrees doesn’t seem like that much, and it’s not hard to imagine this shitbox having broken ABS.
They own a cybertruck. It is not a possibility, it’s a certainty
But also
26 degrees doesn’t seem like that much
Nah it’s quite a lot TBH, angles feel much steeper in reality than they seem as numbers. E.g. a typical staircase is ~30-35°, and the steepest street in the world is 35° (and that thing has concrete, which is a reasonably grippy surface).
And it’s even worse in cars, at a 15-20° bank angle most people start to freak out and scream that the car is about to flip. 30-40° is when most cars will actually flip, I guess cybertruck is on the lower end here.
If it was grass, wet mud, or gravel, I can totally see a 3000 kg vehicle just not being able to physically stop. It’s interesting that they managed to flip it, I suppose there was something else at play that we can’t see in the photo.

I think it’s easy to forget how much exceptionally heavy EV cars and trucks are.
Yeah, but usually the batteries are kept down low and make the vehicle more difficult to flip. But I wouldn’t put it behind tesla to fuck that up somehow too.

could probably roll it on that crap on the left and full steering angle
What if this guy being a cybertruck driver and all mistook 26% slope grade as 26 degrees? Would be even funnier because 26 degrees is a genuinely steep slope but 26% is like 14 degrees which is quite manageable.
Most humans start to freak out and scream when a car is at ~15-20° bank angle. Some SUVs flip over at 30° bank angle. The steepest street on the planet is 35°.
Hiking trails are usually around 20-25°. You usually need to help yourself up with your hands when the slope goes beyond 40°.
Angles are a lot steeper in reality than what you think if you just look at the numbers.

26 degrees is like the steepest mountain road you could run into, steeper than the wonkiest of hillside driveways.

I didn’t think of that lol
I think I’ll offer him the benefit of the doubt but still
I never thought to ask before but is the 26° from the top of the slope or the bottom? Triangle expert here
A flat surface would be 0°, so it’s from the bottom of the slope.
26 doesn’t seem so bad then. If it was 26 from the top that may as well be straight down.
64° from the top sounds fine

Well, in that case, i still love the truck
Consider that avalanches can occur starting around 25°
Considering…
I like drawn triangles better
You can convert it to percentage to make the number sound bigger. It’s almost 50%
Is 100% a 45° angle?
We don’t convert degrees into percentages in insulator school just minutes and seconds
Yeah. Doesn’t it sound a lot more impressive like that?
Not really lol I’m gonna have to get the angle finder out next work day and measure some hillsc
Bottom I believe
