The Tesla Cyber Truck is expected later this year, and previous information suggests that it will be a very impressive, if outrageous, machine.

But now that Elon Musk has admitted that this all-electric truck will have a four-wheel steering mode, it looks even more impressive. This is almost identical to the GMC Hummer EV's "crab mode."

Crab mode is the Hummer's driving mode, which essentially allows for diagonal driving. It uses a combination of torque vectoring and rear-wheel steering to accomplish this, and is designed to help the driver get in and out of tight spots.

This is especially useful on off-road terrain, which is not as consistent as asphalt.

While many comparisons can be made between the Tesla Cybertruck and the GMC Hummer EV, crab mode was one of the unique features of the Hummer. Apparently not, at least according to Tesla CEO Elon Musk:

Musk does not mention the Hummer, but the comparison is the first one that comes to our minds. In particular, Musk mentions improved agility and the ability of the cybertruck to make tight turns.

However, without a visual display of how this works, it is impossible to say for certain how similar it is to the Hummer's crab mode. Tesla has not confirmed that the Cybertruck will have torque vectoring, but it is certainly possible thanks to the twin rear-wheel motors.

Additionally, torque vectoring is available on the Tesla Model S Plaid, so it is possible that it will be available on the top-of-the-line Cybertruck.

The Tesla Cybertruck is also set to have a range of over 500 miles, a super-strong exterior "exoskeleton," and enhanced durability that promises to stop 9mm pistol bullets and sledgehammers in their tracks. Just don't throw metal balls at the windows. The rear bed is also built for versatility, and the adaptive air suspension should provide a soft ride off-road.

The Tesla Cybertruck will be available later this year, with prices starting at $49,900 for the dual-motor AWD model and $69,900 for the tri-motor AWD model. A less expensive single-motor model will be available sometime next year.
