The Tesla Cybertruck, widely promoted as “built for any adventure,” faced another embarrassing moment when it got stuck on a slight hill covered with a thin layer of snow and needed to be towed by a Ford F-150.
The incident, captured on video, showed the Cybertruck’s wheels spinning without traction, even though it was equipped with off-road tires and a tow rope. According to the video caption, the “RC” model suffered from a bug in the traction control software and lacked proper towing or recovery points.

This episode is another in a series of setbacks for Tesla’s electric pickup truck, which has already faced issues such as a “major defect” before winter and a model sinking into the ground. The video also reignited the rivalry between Tesla and Ford, who have already exchanged jabs about the performance of their trucks in challenging tests.
The situation led many internet users to comment online, with some defending the Cybertruck as a prototype in development, while others mocked its inability to overcome such a simple incline.
The incident highlights challenges Tesla still faces in fulfilling its promises of robustness and versatility for its model, especially compared to competitors like Ford.
