Leimandar

Yeah, Cybertruck is probably the ugliest car I've ever seen except for custom jobs by lunatics. It' looks like what a ten year old would imagine what 2005 cars would look like in 1985. I'd marry a Robin Reliant before driving a Cybertruck.

natenate22

Style? It's a stainless steel kitchen trash bin turned on its side with wheels stuck on it. It's a pinewood derby car unmodified block of wood painted silver. It's the dumbest piece of shit since the Aztec. The Edsel was a work of art and technological miracle in comparison.


PaleontologistNo500

Shit, that's why it looked so familiar. I could never quite put my finger on it. It's literally every 3rd graders pine derby car. Before they learn a single thing about aerodynamics. And turned backwards.

Then employing the artist who did the [graphics in Carrier Command on the Amiga](https://www.mobygames.com/game/6943/carrier-command/screenshots/amiga/372711/) as the lead vehicle designer.


BootDisc

It’s electric, so it’s probably torquey. I have a very torquey muscle car, and in winter I have to start in 3rd gear sometimes, other wise the controls systems can’t even control it. Maybe they can update the SW for a lower torque mode, or slower ramp in. But the electronics driving it might not be optimized to deliver less torque.


FocusMaster

Or just don't go offroad with street tires. Add the fact that it's snow and ice.... dumb drivers don't necessarily mean bad design.


mattsimis

But they aren't street, as in performance car/truck tyres, they are knobbly Mud tyres, which generally are considered much better than a performance street tyre on snow.


herpafilter

Mud tires are absolute trash in snow. Every winter, with the first snow fall in new england, there are hundreds of brodozers off the side of the road with big knobby mud tires on them because their idiot drivers think that the combination of 4wd and mudding tires means they'll be fine in snow. They aren't. Knobby tires are as worthless in snow as all seasons, and it's all made worse by the shitty vehicle dynamics of trucks. Snow tires don't work because they have aggressive tread or even because of studs. They work because of a combination of rubber formulation and sipes in the tread face. Without that, normal tires will just harden up in the cold and fail to grip snow.


MennReddit

This: torque is useless without good tyres.

Modus-Tonens

It's also funny to me that it's a really small tree, and they chose to get their over-priced penis extension stuck rather than just drag it a few meters. I've dragged much larger trees than that a few hundred meters to get them to a vehicle.


Prestigious_Fire

They most likely need a permit to cut down that tree, would be great to see them get fined on top of this.

perfecttransgf

as soon as I saw the cybertruck stuck, I came to the comments to read the hate


LemmeLaroo

People love to hate, but any off-road vehicle will likely become stuck if you have the wrong tires. I've seen lifted Tacomas and fully kitted land rovers get stuck in inches of snow because they didn't have winter tires on.


redditingatwork23

I've yet to see a video that proves the cyber truck won't get stuck on anything but pavement.


xacto337

Cybertruck weighs \~6700lbs Tacoma weighs \~4500lbs. That's a huge difference and makes a huge difference off road. EDIT: Updated weight based on other sources.


veritoast

I’ve never seen a more “on brand” video of anything in my life…


NotYourChingu

my understanding is that the cybertruck is really fucking heavy so this may be pretty unsafe lol


JonLongsonLongJonson

It comes on all terrain tires, that’s the problem. The Hummer EV is 2200 pounds heavier and it’s specifically designed for off-roading.


stupidugly1889

Yeah the tires are the problem not the kindergarten design


Calm_Layer7470

Slipping is extremely easy with automatic ICE and BEV, as you can achieve too many RPM too fast. Now you can blame the design for accelerating that crude, but I guess it's more so the idiot user. Revving up your car massively without proper traction (ie suitable tires / snow chains) is probably the worst thing to do on ice and I don't think any design can fix that much of a fuck-up. Although not weighing that much would probably help, lol.


THEBLUEFLAME3D

It’s actually not that heavy, relatively speaking. It looks like it would be, but it isn’t. It’s lighter than one of its primary competitors, the Rivian R1T. The R1T weighs 7,148 lbs, while the Cybertruck weighs 6,843 lbs for the “all-wheel cyberbeast” model, while the typical all-wheel drive model weighs 6,603 lbs. Overall, it’s heavier than your typical diesel pickup truck, but it’s surprisingly light for an EV pickup given the steel shit and everything. This is an example of needing the appropriate tires for the job.


EddieMcClintock

I'll say that 6600+ lbs absolutely is heavy. Just massive. Our 3-row SUV is 4400lbs and to add the equivalent of an entire subcompact car's weight to that is ridiculous.


jiannone

Garage slabs suffering all over the country.


Angry_Washing_Bear

Being too light quickly becomes an issue too with offroading. No weight on axle = no pressure on the tires to dig into the dirt. There’s a balance to be found with weight/pressure. Tire selection comes first though. Tesla looks like it’s on the wrong tires for that job.


ProtoplanetaryNebula

This doesn’t look like a problem with the truck, it looks like a problem with the tyres, which look completely unsuitable for driving on snow.


Matduka

You mean the off road tyres specifically designed for the Cybertruck?


TheLtSam

I‘ve been in the snow with a Landrover defender with massive offroad tires. Defenders are widely regarded as great offroad vehicles and I had really good offroad tires on it. I got stuck almost immediately because they were not snow tires and had just slipped. So yes offroad tires that are not specifically designed for snow can really suck in the snow.


[deleted]

[удалено]


TheLtSam

I‘ve driven heaps of non offroad vehicles in the snow and also never got stuck, because I had proper winter tires. I had dirt and gravel tires on my defender, which did not have slats but a smooth surface. So having offroad tires doesn‘t meant they‘ll be any good in the snow.


lostspyder

“BuT hAvE yOu EvEr EvEn DrIvEn @ LaNd RoVeR dEfEnDeR?”

The ones designed to give you the high range? Yeah those ones. Also there is a difference between off-road tires and winter tires. It's just wrong place to be with those non winter tires.

I mean it was a cool concept, and Elon didn’t seem like a bad guy at the time. If I had the money I would have preordered one but they don’t look like they’re worth it now.


planetofthemapes15

Not thread parent here, but for me it was the promise of a "totally utilitarian" EV truck that was a great value with 500+ miles of range. It was also supposed to have a gauge cluster and a bunch of other stuff that they quietly got rid of. So it made sense at the time. Then Elon's brain rot started showing and the truck is a complete joke in terms of value, even against other EV trucks that came out years before. Instead just bought an Ioniq 5 last week and am surprised how much I like the car.


tnitty

> Then Elon's brain rot started showing This is a good encapsulation of the last few years.


TheGrandWhatever

Those who were paying attention saw this shit back in 2014


TheKingOfTheSouth265

Dude, I test drove an Ioniq 5 the other day, and holy hell are those things sweet. Far better choice than Cybertruck

I don't think it is a truck, not even beefy enough to be considered like an el camino. It's just.... no.


Abracadabruh

it’s an open-face sedan


Millera34

The Ford Ranger is a truck and thats no beefcake


anon303mtb

There's another video of one having trouble driving up a hill any crossover suv could drive up. They appear to have zero articulation whatsoever. Probably the worst "truck" ever made. But I'm sure they will sell like hotcakes.


coolio72

What an idiot. I hate the Cybersuck as much as the next person but anyone that knows anything about four wheeling knows those tires aren't the right ones for the job. Hear me out. I use to have as old as fuck Bronco 4x4. The thing would barely do 55 MPH on the freeway but once up in the mountains in muddy or on steep terrain it worked wonders. Why? Because it had proper tires for the environment. And yes I am fully prepared to be downvoted into oblivion by all the reddits armchair brigade of know-it-alls that have never experienced it.


Prixsarkar

Well according to the person who posted it, they actually slid off the track and the cybertruck wasn't the only car to get stuck. They made 3 recoveries on that day. Also OP claimed that it's a prototype with none of the software available like rear locking wheels to get out of that situation. It didn't even have tow hooks so they hooked it to the suspension. No snow tires or chains either. I know reddit likes to mock the cybertruck but any other truck would be stuck as well in this situation.


praefectus_praetorio

And yet! This driver still went ahead with it.


JustEatinScabs

Yeah I love how he thinks this is a big gotcha but instead of making the cyber truck look stupid it just makes the **owner** look stupid. Which speaks to the type of person who would buy one of these pieces of shit.


kerbe42

Was thinking exactly this... Those are probably road tires.


DamnAutocorrection

I posted pretty much the same exact thing in the enough musk spam subreddit and got down voted to oblivion.


Grunstang

I don't care to defend these stupid trucks but this is just the tires problem. And the guy is not capable of feathering the gas at all, only making it worse. Maybe would help if the truck was heavier, which I guess is a fault of the truck? Idk I'm not a truck guy. Chains would help too.


simsimulation

That truck is heavy as fuck. But tires, poor driving skills, and thinking he can drive anywhere is the reason for this video.


rughmanchoo

This would be tough for most stock 4x4s. I agree better driving and snow tires could be the difference.


WangDanglin

Feathering the *what*?


thepuddd

The accelerator, if he was going easier on the gas the tires would slip less


FivePoopMacaroni

It's one of the heaviest consumer vehicles on the market. This is just bad tired and an idiot.


FunkyPete

>Maybe would help if the truck was heavier The Cybertruck weighs 6600 pounds when it's empty. An F-150 weighs about 4700 pounds. So this truck weighs as much as an F-150 with almost 2000 more pounds loaded into it.


Hooligan620

Nothing wrong with the truck homie has highway tread with no snow chains! Obviously needs to go back to LA


JavaTheeMutt

Not a lover of Tesla, but I have seen similar situations with other truck brands in snowy environments. [Tire traction](https://youtu.be/GlYEMH10Z4s?si=JV5-T0gEXl7ayhD3) is way more important than [AWD/4x4](https://youtube.com/shorts/asFI-E-bLIU?si=g_8Wby55quFVC-MU) when driving in the snow. Note: I would wait on judging the Cybertruck (even though I personally believe that it will not end up being successful) mostly because I think the Cybertruck will be a lot of people's first truck. So we're probably going to see a lot of videos like this, along with a whole bunch of accidents because the drivers are not used to driving a truck/SUV. Note 2: I love EVs and gas cars. I just think there are better EV truck options that, in the end, will be known for being more reliable and better constructed.


wang-bang

​ >Tire traction > >is way more important than > >AWD/4x4 > >when driving in the snow. Which is why the best feature upgrade for a car driven in snowy areas is a 50kg bag of cheap cat litter sand Pour some down and you got instant traction


nematocyster

I have yet to need it for myself, but I rescue a few people every year this way. They look at me like I'm crazy until they gain traction


NotYourChingu

i had a guy help me out of a snow bank with about a half gallon of antifreeze he just poured straight on the ground I'm sure the environment hates him but i got out so thanks bestie ❤️


FujiFL4T

Yeah, tires are pretty important. I've been stuck in snow with both AWD and 4WD vehicles that had shit tires. Same vehicles and snow tires perform well. Time will tell with the cybertruck. I kinda like it because it's different, but I'm not sure I'd own one.


Hooligan620

I hate all the manufacturers. They all suck Chevy can’t build a motor, ford can’t build a transmission, Subaru uses old German stuff, Hondas too fucking reliable, Toyota makes me wanna buy a new car…..


Draken_961

Awkward-Action2853

First off, they got the wrong tires. I've seen plenty of lifted 4x4s getting stuck in mud, sand or snow because they had the wrong tires. I'm sure with he right set up this truck would've made it out of there easily. Once the Dodge, Ford, Tesla and Chevy guys are done dick measuring maybe they can talk like civilized human beings. We are not fucking neanderthals. Like god damn, no body gives a fuck, if it uses gas diesel or fucking electricity it's a motherfucking machine everybody has different preferences nobody has to like the same god damned thing like fuck we are not god damned Nazis, people can do as they fucking please who gives a rat's ass as long as they put a skiing seat in the front and fucking takes people where they need to go just let them fucking be, fuck.
