This isnt an issue. The target demographic for a cybertruck will never need locking diff's and will cry glory from the heavens once theyre permitted to own them.

The vehicle is a pavement princess designed to help its owner cosplay a working mans aesthetic. The cybertruck is to transportation as the cheesegrater Mac is to the programmer.

In what way would the Cybertruck need to change in order to become a proper offroad vehicle?

Be 2000+lbs lighter? That puts it in the same class as a 4runner, which is already heavy for an offroader. The crosstrek that climbed the hill the cybertruck couldn't is about 1/2 the weight.

That's going to be difficult with current battery chemistry. Maybe a Cybertruck/zeppelin hybrid?
