Well one major issue is this "truck" was designed look cool driving back and forth to Starbucks and that's about it even if its an expensive hunk of shit with the wheel base of a go cart and half the shit they said it would have its cyber brah.

I got a 2012 Honda civic that I use as my hooptie for work commuting and I can off road with it in the snow no problem, I just throw on the chains and can out drive a chevy 4x4, and that is not an exaggeration, a chevy 4x4 couldn't get up a hill and was blocking me and I had to wait for them to get out of the way all while trying to avoid them sliding into me,
Once there was enough room to squeeze past them I just hauled ass past them,
The pot holes though from the snow melting and thawing I gotta watch out for in the civic.

Front wheel drive cars are pretty optimal in the snow. You however wouldn't make it up that hill either. I have owned many front drive cars and cruised past Jeeps, pickup trucks, etc., on fairly nasty conditions. The weight distribution of front wheel drive plus the vectoring of the thrust just makes them ideal in crappy conditions. Which is partly why they are so popular in the market.
The issue with the cyber truck appears to be that it is very stiffly sprung. The front drive also appears to give up, either it has some sort of traction control (seems unlikely given the spinning earlier), or there was some sort of shutoff or mechanical issue. Also, as Koods says, probably the wrong tires for the job. They are also going to be crazy heavy, which works in some situations. For example where you need to press the tire through the low friction bits and find the high friction surface. Going up hill however means you fight gravity even more. Loosing battle here.

My chains would make it, nothing has yet to stop my chains so long as my bumper can make it over it.

Nah, you'd be stuck on your oil pan or subframe. Civics are great cars but they tend to run pretty low. Not unlike my Jetta Sportwagen. Which is why I rolled the fenders and throw some tall snows on it from like Feb to March. I've managed some gnarly conditions with that setup. The TDI is very front heavy, make traction really good in snow, but the power profile of the turbo combined with the high torque of the diesel make it tricky to drive as far as putting the power down.

The thing has some kinda ridiculous fly by wire traction control steering air suspension that need special wheels and tires horseshit and its heavier than sin that again was designed for driving from your gated development to whole foods. There was no actual follow thru on anything they said it was gonna be. I mean look what the guy was trying to drive thru it didn't even look bad and the guy looked like a total clown I mean the risk of that level of embarrassment of being the douchebag getting pulled out in his cybertruck is enough to never buy the thing.

Damn I just looked at actual off road stuff with the hummer ev and rivian. I'll tell you right now the tesla is a hunk of shit off road compared to those but they all do the same shit that like your old electric rc trucks used to do where it will get in a wierd spot where it just fucks it up and you can't get traction because the way electric motors with inductive loads orwhatever the fuck. Not surprisingly you can't find ant actual off road stuff of the tesla anywhere except for tesla doing some baja thing where they were like whoa look at it drive on a dirt road we only got 2 flat tires hopefully we make it to the beach.

Baja is pretty challenging. Probably top 10 of the most extreme offroad races. Dakar being the most. I am certain they had a huge support team to even do that. To do the Baja 1000 in a top tier way you bring a helicopter, huge crews, support trucks etc.. I guarantee this was no different.
I wouldn't be surprised if Tesla improves it. The current models are all pretty well loved for the most part, despite the bad press. Some of the S models are truly insane in performance at least for short periods. That said, the Cyber Truck is the ugliest piece of shit to be made since the Delorean? It's like they took all the bad aspects of the Delorian and crossed it with an Aztek. Though somehow the Delorean has aged decently.

Yeah, I watched the video. But passing those roads is no joke.

Yeah no way. The video was such an embarrassment for the brand it had to be taken down. Funny how the won't show a proper off road test. Fool you once fool you 1000 times. But yeah your right for a brief moment when no one else was making a serious attempt at ev sports car but were still getting blown out of the water by the performance of hyper cars and other you know acutal inivative vehicles. Where's teslas formula e car oh wait they can't even put functional production cars on the road. Koods just said almost every single car they owned just had to get recalled because it kills and injures people all the time. These people are living in fucking lala land how could you put up with a company like that? What about the money?

I've seen an analysis of the video and some points were brought up. The truck is a prototype model, it's supposed to be some remote help job according to poster but there's people around, the driver doesn't attempt to rock the vehicle at all like any half competent driver would.
There's other videos of it underperforming that aren't deceptive in any way, but it's kinda telling that people are seizing on footage that is flawed.

Here's a thing on the mysterious special tesla wheels and tires on the fucking thing incase the whole thing isn't enough of a nightmare for you to deal with but you better have your asshole lubed up for this one. They also put in the tire inflators which is again shit I've been saying for 10 years on the overland packages so they stole that idea but didn't deliver from me too but rivian did so *fart noise* But because it's tesla I'm sure it's just another one of the many bell and whistle that will break pulling out of your parking garage and put it in limp mode until you fork over the $4000 for them to change your tire pressure sensor.
