The Problem With Tesla's Differential Strategy - Helical Diffs Are Better Than Open Diffs.

The Cybertruck is going to be a wonder of engineering, but will it use the same open differential + torque vectoring strategy employed on all other Tesla vehciles to date? In this video I demonstrate with physical working models the many reasons why the Cybertruck would be better off using a helical differential instead.
