I'm no fan of the cybertruck nor Tesla but this is likely a tires issue and not necessarily a Tesla issue.

When I drove my car through snow on performance tires last year I barely made it home even though there's only half an inch of snow on the road.

All that being said: proprietary tires? That's fucking asinine. Tech company gonna tech company i suppose

mateomaui OP ,

To my knowledge, they are custom Tesla tires. On custom Tesla rims that don’t accommodate non-Tesla tires. So still a Tesla problem.

edit: apparently my knowledge is wrong

That's just with AWD, not even 4x4, let alone a low range mode!

You don't need low range in snow

Why's he spinning the tires so much?

Do BMW drivers actually understand the concept of letting off on the gas a bit, or is that a lost art for them like turn signals and shoulder-checks?

Kecessa ,

It makes it an even better example, you must be even more stupid than a BMW driver to be stuck like that Cybertruck driver!

That’s basically no snow. I drove a 2003 Miata through deeper snow than that just to get out of a residential area onto plowed roads.

I've always had my winter tires on seperate wheels. In the past it's been steel wheels, but for my current car, I got a matching set of OEM wheels fairly cheap bc someone had custom wheels put on their car and didn't want the OEM wheels, so I bought them at a discount from the dealer, and had some winter tires put on. I couldn't imagine getting the tires on my wheels switched twice a year, I just get the wheels swapped. I used to do it myself, it's a bit of a workout to change four wheels, these days I get a shop to do it. Steel wheels aren't the most aesthetic, although my silver Subaru looked pretty good in the snow with 17" black wheels and some aggressive winter tires. Drifting...drifting...drifting the night away!

Drusas ,

lol, that's barely a few inches of snow.

That does not look like a ton of snow. I park in higher snow than that every year when I drive out to the mountains to ski. That would be about the amount of snow I park in the driveway with after it’s been plowed and sat for a couple hours with snow fall.
