A video on www.threads.net showing off the Cybertruck getting hauled out of a hill / incline by an F150 (or... at least the F150's wench). The Cybertruck is assisting, but its slipping / can't get traction even with all of the extra weight on the tow-line helping it out.

EDIT: https://www.instagram.com/p/C0uxBW5v_Bl/

Instagram seems to have an additional bit of footage, with Cybertruck slipping even nearly at the top of the hill (right next to the road), so the F150 has to pull it up even over that last hump.

I know offroading is heavily dependent on the tires, but... this isn't a good look for the Cybertruck.

Instagram from the owners of the F150:

No lockers due to software issues, not aired down, no pickup points, no recovery points!🤦🏻‍♂️

Hopefully this is a prototype Cybertruck or something, because that's pretty bad for a truck...

Not to make excuses for the Cybertruck, but a big part of driving in snow is experience. The way he's spinning his wheels shows ether his lack of experience driving on snow and ice, or the truck doesn't have a "low gear" for it. The first rule of driving in snow is don't do it if you don't have to.
