Tesla passed on a 'Crab Walk' feature found in the GMC Hummer EV.
Tesla considered giving its Cybertruck pickup diagonal-driving capability similar to what you'd find in the GMC Hummer EV but scrapped the idea after finding the feature useless in the real world, Tesla engineer Wes Morrill said in a post on X. 'Does anyone know when this feature is practically useful? Genuinely curious,' Morrill said in a reply to a GMC promotional video showing off its 'Crab Walk' tech.
But, having tried Crab Walk in real life in the Hummer EV pickup, I've got to agree with Morrill here. It looks cool, but it's mostly a gimmick. 'If the wheels could turn 90 and you could actually slide sideways it would be amazing, but 10 deg is not enough to be useful in parallel parking and it's very unintuitive to control,' he said, adding that he didn't intend to 'mock GM here.
