The Tesla Cybertruck has certainly attracted its fair share of criticism, from its unconventional design to its manufacturing issues and lack of real truck capabilities. However, a recent incident involving a Cybertruck getting stuck in snow sheds light on an important factor that often goes unnoticed: tires.
The viral video of the Cybertruck stuck in a parking spot on snowy streets in Quebec quickly made its rounds on social media platforms like TikTok and Reddit. While it’s easy to poke fun at a high-priced, high-performance vehicle struggling in just a few inches of snow, the real culprit here is likely the tires.
It’s unclear what specific tires were on the Cybertruck in question, but they appear to be the factory Goodyear all-seasons. These tires, while suitable for most driving conditions, may not have been up to the task of navigating the snowy streets of Quebec. Cybertruck owners have already reported issues with their tires wearing out quickly, likely due to the vehicle’s massive weight and power output.
In colder climates like Quebec, winter tires are essential for maintaining traction and control on icy and snowy roads. Without the right rubber on their wheels, even the most powerful vehicle can struggle to navigate winter conditions. In this case, it’s not a Cybertruck problem, but a tire and ownership issue.
While it may be amusing to see a high-performance vehicle like the Cybertruck getting stuck in snow, it serves as a reminder of the importance of proper tire maintenance and choosing the right tires for the driving conditions. No matter how powerful a vehicle is, without the right tires, it can easily find itself stranded in a seemingly simple situation.
So next time you hit the road in winter weather, make sure your tires are up to the task. It could mean the difference between cruising through snowy streets or getting stuck in a parking spot like the Cybertruck.
