Tires do make a massive difference. But even with a good tire, it's tough to haul 7000 pounds of crap around in snow/sand/mud.

I didn't know they could pile shit that high
The marvels of modern engineering
Impressive to be sure
They come standard with Goodyear all season or all terrain tires. But summer tires in the snow is scary and not taken serious enough.
Probably has to do with torque. EVs put out amazing torque.
Low and slow. Person probably thought standing on the accelerator was the way.
I live in a very snowy climate and we had a really rough winter. I own a truck that I use for only utility use and it had just regular all season tires on it this winter. Our driveway had 2-3 feet of snow on it after Thanksgiving. I just locked it in 4wd low and was easily able to plow through it for the entire 200 feet of driveway.
The 'cybertruck' is a fucking joke.
Snow tires are mandatory in Montreal too - so you can't even blame it on all seasons or bare treads (they would have just been changed over)
I'm not defending the Cybertruck. I used to live in Canada and it doesn't matter what vehicle it is, you need snow tires and in some cases studded snow tires.
"Professional Fan". I'm definitely stealing that. 😂
Damn. TIL that there is a "truck" that struggles more in the snow than my nissan 370, lmao
