Comment on Cybertruck Crashes in Light Snow as Driver Shouts "NOT AGAIN!"

Fuck the cyber truck and all, but there is clearly a lot of ice under that snow. It’s probably a road that isn’t plowed, and salted / sanded often. If the road, mass, and acceleration are correct, it doesn’t matter if you have AWD or 4WD.
He’s on an icy road, towing, and on an incline. Dude should have snow tires, chains, or should throw some sand down or something.
The driver is as dumb as his purchase.

Fuck the cybertruck but I agree. To me, it looks like a firm layer of ice and a distinct lack of tires which can handle ice or chains failing that. Cybertruck’s weight is doing it no favors here either, and the load helped pull him down the hill. Chains would have made a huge difference in this condition.

It reminds me of when I drive to a ski town in Tahoe. It’s always full of weekend warriors with little winter driving experience, and expensive AWD / 4WD vehicles.
20 years ago it was Hummers stuck in the snow banks, now it’s Cybertrucks. Also, there is always a healthy smattering of lifted pickups chuds and WRXs drivers who think they’re playing the winter level in Colin McRay Rally.
You never see the slow driving minivan with chains stuck in the banks.
