Not enough people are talking about Tesla’s steer-by-wire technology that enables the Cybertruck to make turns better than a sports car (has same turning radius as the Model S).

- there is no connection between the steering wheel & the wheels

- to steer, you just have to turn the car on

- the only thing the steering wheel is connected to is a bunch of sensors & force feedback unit

- at higher speeds the steering slows down & is normal

- at lower speeds it’s just one turn lock to lock & makes the turn sharper

- the technology interprets where you want to go by your steering action & then it decides how much to turn the front & rear wheels

- this technology is a game changer
