Cybertruck’s design faces criticism in cold climates

Social media users react with criticism and sarcasm
The video quickly went viral, sparking debate among viewers. In the comment section, many showed little sympathy for the Cybertruck owner.
While other questioned the vehicle’s capability in winter conditions.
One person said: Have you tried telling the snow you own a Cybertruck to impress it?
A second wrote: My $35,000 Subaru Forester can handle that no problem, what a waste of money.
While a third commented: Imagine buying a cybertruck just to find out it’s a cybercivic.

If you can’t drive a truck in the snow, it’s not a truck. Another user added.
Tesla advises winter tires for snowy conditions
Tesla’s official website recommends winter tires for driving in snow and ice. However, it’s unclear what type of tires the Cybertruck in the viral clip had.
“Use winter tires to increase traction in snowy or icy conditions,” Tesla advises. “Tire chains provide additional traction when driving in snowy or icy conditions.”
While some argue that proper tires could improve performance, the video has fueled skepticism about the Cybertruck’s winter capabilities.
The viral footage of a Cybertruck struggling in the snow has raised concerns about its real-world performance. As winter conditions challenge electric vehicles, Tesla owners may need to invest in additional equipment to navigate icy roads.
