The cybertruck is steer by wire. You can program it to do whatever the hell you want. If you wanted you could make it so turning the wheel 1 inch turns them lock to lock.
Plus if you're stuck you're gonna be sawing like crazy on the wheel.
The range of motion of the steering wheel is a bit over 180 degrees, with steering angle change ramping up the further you turn the wheel.
It's genuinely fascinating technology actually, somewhat wasted on a vehicle as silly as the Cybertruck.
Goal is backwards, over the logs they jammed under the wheels. The vehicle should be cooperating with the humans and strictly drive in reverse, not to try driving with the steering control of a spazzed out squirrel brain on crack cocaine..
