The couple of seconds' worth of video I saw told me a few things:

  • the truck had been spinning out for a long time there

  • that situation was going to be tough for most trucks

  • it had terrible traction, possibly a matter of not having all-season or snow-specific tires

  • it appeared to be driving all wheels, can't say whether or not they were distributing traction or slip intelligently

  • couldn't tell if anything was high-centering anywhere but it didn't look it

  • driving in situations like that are why I leave tire chains in my truck

  • the tree sticking out of the back was comical

The cybertruck is a pavement princess
