This Tesla Cybertruck was photographed stuck in the snow in Canada, but it’s not any fault of the truck itself.
At first glance, the inches of snow that have stranded the Tesla vehicle are a little laughable.
This was no doubt why the picture went viral on social media platforms like TikTok and Reddit.
But there’s actually a reasonable explanation as to how this happened.

How did this Cybertruck end up stuck in the snow?
The photo came from a street in Quebec, and as you might imagine, has invited a lot of ridicule online.
Given the image we have of this imposing futuristic car, it is quite amusing to see it rendered unusable by snow.
We’ve already seen these cars being rolled out in police forces across the country, like in Irvine, California.
So what’s the deal?
How come a little bit of snow has left this Tesla powerhouse stranded?
Surprisingly, it could come down to their tires.
As explained on TheDrive, it looks as if those the tires used were Goodyear all-seasons.
It’s already been established that these aren’t the sturdiest, with some drivers claiming they only lasted 6,000 miles before becoming worn down.
Given that they’re cracking a heavy vehicle, perhaps we ought to cut them a little slack.
At any rate, the likely explanation here is that the tires were so worn out that they couldn’t get any traction to move.
Snow and cars – a tricky mix
When up against the elements, cars can often have a tough time.
Only recently, 20 cars found themselves trapped when they followed their GPS in Oregon.
It took them up Ruckle Road, which is not maintained during the heavy snowfall of the winter months.
It was here they all got stuck and had to call out rescue workers.
In another case, it was the Cybertruck who was rescuing another vehicle, as a pick-up truck needed hauling out of snow.
Unless you live in Dubai or another hot spot, snow is just something you have to anticipate in the winter months.
Fortunately, some manufacturers are trying to roll with this.
One Chinese EV has been developed with a feature to shake off snow as if it was a puppy.
What is with these cars being modeled after dogs?
First the Toyota Pod having a wagging tail, and now this.
But here’s hoping we’ll have a future where no car gets stuck in the snow.
Even though that would eliminate like 90% of the plots for Christmas movies and specials.
