We all know that Cybertrucks have had a less-thank-lackluster release. Not many of these trucks could have been made yet.
Nonetheless, video-after-video of these beasts keep getting stuck in the mud snow in this case, now with snowy weather blanketing part of the north-east. Jalopnik is blaming tires, which sounds like a possibly valid issue.
But given the failures in the mud last month, I’m now wondering how much of this is perhaps a bad traction-control algorithm, or other feature of the cybertruck? Maybe its just the shear mass alone that is wrecking the traction.
In either case: the Cybertruck has no staying power in mud or snow. I can’t imagine this going well in any offroading event or other similar trucking duty. If the cybertruck loses traction in these simple snow cases, there’s no way it could be used as a plow for example.

Article says the tires are probably optimized for efficiency…
Which makes it even worse their range is so bad.
Put actual truck tires on so you can use it as a truck, and range is going to plummet
Actual truck tires won’t fix the low polygon wank tank disaster that is known as the cybertruck. Sorry.
It won’t, there’s lots of other issues.
But those tires means it literally can’t function off pavement.
I have zero idea why you’re acting like I was defending it tho
Classic Lemmy, just forget them

Hahahahaha, fucking idiot that Muskrat is, so is anyone who bought this POS
People want new things and New ideas and they habr the money to risk it. I’m sure those people know just about as much of trucks as you do
Dont need to know jack shit about vehicles if you really know about Musk. His ideas are dogshit and he is a pathological liar. Or as people say “Over promose and under deliver”
Hold on, I thought the truck was a joke, a publicity stunt like the robot… Did people actually pay real money for one? PS1 nostalgia?
Elon’s Folly sure doesn’t seem to have any specific niche it performa in a except drawing attention.
And yet he is financially rewarded for all of it. Disgusting, ain’t it?
It’s too heavy. Tires don’t matter much if it’s just sinking like a lead brick.
Probably because they’re pieces of trash that way a bajillion tons.

I wonder why Ford never designed a cyber truck…
They ughhh didn’t ughh have the ugh ugh mental ughh fortitude ught that ugh the ugh Musk ugh has ughh… Right.
i think it has too much staying power in snow or mud, and not enough going power
That’s a stupid truck, and it probably has a billion flaws in addition to poor traction control.
But that’s more snow than anyone should be trying to drive through. It’s at least 18 inches of uncompressed powder, judging from the tire tracks which are probably compacted ice.
Snow tires might help, but that should be plowed or shoveled before you drive over it.
Edit: Jesus fucking Christ, I don’t give a shit if you go rally racing in the Himalayas in a Ford Pinto. Congratulations, you win the Golden Shut the Fuck Up. This is a 5 second clip of a cybertruck spinning out because they pulled into an unplowed driveway. My point was just that you shouldn’t do that. Shovel your fucking driveway. Would a proper 4wd vehicle handle that? Probably. But ice is ice, and you shouldn’t expect a car that’s still loading polygons to have magical friction powers.
18 inches? 12 at most and I would be laughing my ass off going through that in my XC60.
