What’s that they say about the definition of insanity? Something about towing with a Cybertruck, probably.

Here’s a video to watch for a laugh, a Cybertruck towing over light snow… with predictable results.

As the truck loses traction, the trailer jackknifes like it just remembered it had somewhere to be, slams into the back of the Cybertruck, and then nails a tree for good measure. The best part? The driver shouting, with perfect comedic timing, “NOT AGAIN!”

    why did Tesla ship a luxury truck with such trash tires

    They’re not “trash” tires, they’re just not snow tires.

    Weight is a actually good thing in light snow

    That’s a common misconception. No, it is not.

    Folks in my neck the woods put sandbags and stuff in their beds to do exactly that.

    Another common misconception. You don’t put sandbags to increase weight, you put them in to redistribute the weight over the drive axle. Ideally you would relocate the engine into the bed, but that obviously comes with it’s own problems. CT is actually an advantage in this regard since the vast majority of the weight is low and central.

    That’s an electronic system failing

    No it is not.

    evidently it doesn’t know what the fuck to do with snow.

    It cannot do anything with tires that are not intended for snow.

      You’re also starting fights over on another thread of mine so… I guess this scratches some itch for you!

      Boss, you do you. Call me if you need a tow.

        Sorry, who are you? If you consider correcting disinformation as “starting fights” then sure, I have a penchant for that. I wont need a tow because I don’t drive a CT (or any truck for that matter) and it doesn’t snow here, but I appreciate the offer.
