New videos of Tesla Cybertruck off-roading appear to show it struggling to climb up a steep dirt hill::One video showed a 1946 Jeep CJ-2A successfully navigating the same hill that the Cybertruck struggled to summit.

Feels like very few trucks and "offroad-ready" vehicles nowadays are actually cut out for real offroading

They should 100% be able to handle that offroading...my Elantra would be able to get up that hill better then that deformed junk pile

Yes, but very few other trucks also have Elon Musk's stupid ass going up on stage claiming they'll "Have the best approach angle and the best departure angle," and "You'll basically be able to run the Baja 1000 rally in it."

Wh... the approach and departure angles are atrocious, just look at it. The man really will piss on your leg and tell you it's raining.

Looked like the driver was sweating balls just trying not to get beached on camera.
