Cybertruck Gets Stuck in 3 Inches of Snow (Maybe Less) - FuelArc News
fuelarc.com
Look at this Cybertruck, stuck in a literal parking space. That MIGHT be 3 inches of snow? Probably less… it just has a 3-inch berm. I could escape that spot on rollerskates. Cyberstuck Again, As Traffic Passes Without a Second Thought Here’s another Cybertruck stuck in the snow, also in Montreal, getting passed on the […]

How is this even possible? Like, seriously. No way that Cybertruck has high enough miles that it has bald tires, so how is it stuck in that spot?

    Because it’s funny, guy claimed there was ice under the snow. Looks like powder to me from the footprints, but I’m sure it’s like he says, slick as wet glass under that very manageable-looking terrain.

    Written like someone who’s never lived in a cold place. It’s incredibly common to get a bunch of rain, freeze while it’s raining, then turn to snow. That’s how you get a sheet of ice under a layer of powder.

    The CT is still a giant pile of shit though.

      Never gotten stuck that way, and I’m from Chicago. Have you? That sucks.

      I figured the guy was making excuses for his shit-ass truck. Had that unpleasant odor to it.

        Me neither, but I’ve lived in winters like this my entire life, and swap out my summer tires for winter tires when it’s time.

          Ya know, I’ve never done winter tires? Old habits die hard, I guess. Too poor to afford them young, then realized I could get by without them once I could afford them. Whatever stock all-season they shipped the Toyota Tacoma 3rd Gen with is just fine for snow, even a couple feet deep.

          I realize that’s weird, though. Lots of states out west mandate them, for starters.

            I just have A/Ts on my old 4wd Sequoia, but we bought my wife’s car down south and it came with summer tires, which turn into rocks under 35 degrees, so I just bought a set of steelies and Blizzaks. It’s got AWD and unless we get more than half a foot of snow, that thing has zero problems.

            Being that this guy paid $100k for a meme, I wouldn’t expect him to know anything about traction or tire compounds.
