GMC's Hummer EV introduced the "crab mode," and now Tesla has joined the dance by equipping the Cybertruck with this must-have feature.

While Tesla has not officially updated the Cybertruck's specifications since its 2019 launch, this video provides one of the best glimpses yet of the electric pickup truck's rear-steering capabilities. As the prototype navigates the parking garage, you can clearly see the rear wheels engaging in a turn, resulting in a tighter maneuver.

So now we get one of our best looks at the Tesla Cybertruck’s rear-steering feature through this new viral video of a prototype posted on Reddit. In the video we see the Cybertruck inside a parking garage, which is exactly the type of scenario where such a feature is useful.
