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
