Cybertruck Gets Stuck in 3 Inches of Snow (Maybe Less) - FuelArc News

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.

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?

    The fact that it is ungodly heavy definitely didn’t help. But it would have done a hell of a lot better had it had proper snow tires. Something they are legally required to have on Quebec roads during the winter, btw.

    But I fully expect a Cybertruck owner to be the kind of person who thinks that having AWD means you don’t need snow tires.

      What are snow tires in Quebec? I recently learned that some states and provinces count M+S and 3pms tires to be snow tires, while I’ve heard of some as studded.

      Also, I thought the weight would actually help the cybertruck. A lot of 2WD trucks spin on snow and ice because there’s not enough weight on their drive axle so they can’t get enough traction

        M+S won’t cut it. It needs to have the symbol below on it or be studded.

        As for the weight, more weight does not necessarily equate more better. There is a sweet spot where going on either side of it makes it worse. Too light and it gets no traction. Too heavy and it just sinks into the snow and digs itself deeper instead of moving forward, especially if the tires are too skinny for the weight which is likely the case for Cybertrucks judging from all the videos of them getting stuck in sand. I presume that where this sweet spot is depends entirely on the conditions.

        Also the RWD pickup trucks are especially bad in the snow not solely because of the lack of weight over the rear driving wheels, but mainly because it has to push along the undriven front wheels that are carrying most of the truck’s weight. It isn’t as much of a vehicle weight problem as it is a weight distribution over the driving wheels problem.
