Cybertruck Crashes in Light Snow as Driver Shouts "NOT AGAIN!" (fuelarc.com)

What’s that they say about the definition of insanity? Something about towing with a Cybertruck, probably.

Here’s a video to watch for a laugh, a Cybertruck towing over light snow… with predictable results.

As the truck loses traction, the trailer jackknifes like it just remembered it had somewhere to be, slams into the back of the Cybertruck, and then nails a tree for good measure. The best part? The driver shouting, with perfect comedic timing, “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.

Blew the whole budget on the Tesla, didn't have any money left over for sand XD

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 California, like 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.
