Cybertruck Gets Stuck in Snowy Driveway... While a Late-Model Subaru has No Problems

Who would win: a 2024 Cybertruck or 2014 Subaru?
I mean you, already know, but watching it happen was pretty funny.

Do you like schadenfreude? Trick question, of course you do. Get some when you watch this Cybertruck get ruthlessly outclassed by an old Subaru wagon: Let’s be real. That is not a lot of snow, and it’s not that steep. A Honda Fit can handle that much snow (as demonstrated here). I am darkly fascinated […]

So mechanically is it the weight, or the type of tires? An EV should actually be more nimble in instances if it can drive each wheel independently with more precision.

… Yes.
So, weight is a good thing on all but the deepest snow. So that’s a plus. EVs actually do have a lot of pluses for off-roading and harsh weather, they have all the hardware required to do it well, but the software is evidently half-baked on this one.
If I were an automotive engineer and I wanted to fix that shitty performance, I’d start by troubleshooting the traction control system.

Basically lines with the Tesla way: cheap and flashy

They can’t power each wheel independently. There are two motors, one for the front and one for the rear.

That EV can’t, but some EVs can. For example the Rivian R1T has a quad motor set up.

They didn’t use a limited slip diff?

Lol, that’s not even a Subaru SUV. It’s got very little clearance, yet it does what the Cybertruck can’t. Classic.

That is wild. How did they not add that in to such an expensive vehicle?
Oh, right. Because Elon directed this trucks creation. What an idiot.

Actually, in a properly designed truck, the weight helps. Throwing 1000 lbs in the back of that Ford and it would spin tires a lot less than it does, and would do even better.
No shade on Subies, they have an excellent 4WD system. A small lift kit on a stock Subaru and you’ve got a hell of a backwoods rig. Maybe not classic Jeep level, but pretty close.
