And everybody clapped.

As someone who lives in a region that gets a lot of snow, I know that basically any vehicle can get stuck. When you get unlucky, or do something dumb, you can end up in a position where you simply don't have any traction.

But that's the thing, you can usually avoid the situation by not doing something dumb, like driving right up onto the beach. And if you are driving on an unstable surface like sand or snow, accelerate slowly and decisively, don't floor it and then stop or you'll roll back into the rut you just made.

Usually beer, laziness, and american football tailgating culture

Hmm, maybe cybertrucks only have a bad rep because of their drivers? Wouldn't that be funny.

they think it can move on water or through it.

I live somewhere that has miles of beaches and some are world class fishing spots that are really only reasonable to get to if you drive when you consider all the gear you carry with you. There are plenty of spots you can just pull off the side of the road or park in a lot and have a great day at the beach, but not everything is walk accessible for some sports like surfing or fishing.

Sounds like someone has never driven on a beach.

Maybe everyone was tired from all the pointing and laughing when the Cyberidiot first turned up at the beach?

The recent Toyota Sienna has 4WD option and can very good power by using the battery. After seeing the Technology Connections video I think if you want a bigger car the Sienna is the best.

The article says thats its one of the rare 2 wheelers

the fuck is he doing with the steering wheel

Torque vectoring. Is 10/10

Any situation. Even the boot leaks water apparently, and the official solution is to use tubs

I legit can't think of why you would buy it, as there are other EV Utes out there which seem better

The only good thing is that like the VW Beetle there might be collectors value in this (or like the Yugo)

It's either political or tgey fell fir the badass Armageddon vehicle that can drive over your vehicle if i want to schtick. Either way, it has to be some sort of IQ teat that people just failed. It's even more disappointing when they leave burger country.

I was in Florida this lasr weekend and saw a CRAZY amount - like a dozen a day

Regular Tesla drivers who bought their vehicle several years ago, before Musk showed very clear signs of being a Nazi POS? Yeah I have some sympathy for them.

But Cybertruck users knew exactly who they were buying from. They deserve no sympathy.

People using straps or chains typically think you need to “get a run at it” and take up the slack by accelerating away at 30mph, only to have their bumper ripped off

If it was attached to the bumper, it was never going to work anyway.

"getting a run at it" often does work if slow and steady doesn't work (i.e the pulling vehicle doesn't have enough traction). But you need enough slack to get the pulling car moving. If you just give it throttle on the spot, you'll dig in and have two stuck cars, at which point you might as well get a tractor to save time on pulling them out.

If you're going off roading though, there's other equipment to help you out. Have a shovel in the trunk. Some sort of boards or something that you can put under the wheels so they stop digging deeper through the dirt. I reckon could've gotten that cyberdumpster out with no pulling, not that I'd take that thing off roading (or drive it in the first place).

What most surprises me is that in the video they actually put something under the wheels of the cyberdumpster so clearly someone there has previous experience getting vehicles unstuck. If it was the cyberdumpster driver, it begs the question of why he'd take such a ridiculous vehicle off roading anyway. I've had better luck in FWD sedans, let alone cars with torsen-based AWD (Quattro!) or proper 4wd with lockable diffs.

I don't know why but I've been watching Matt's Offroad Recovery videos and they often do the fast yank with one of their vehicles.

they just used the seatbelt

In the US it depends on which state and local municipality. It’s so damn stupid. Damaging to the ecosystem and a real good way to just rust the fuck out of your vehicle at a rapid rate. You also hear about people getting run over while just laying or sitting on the beach which is cool too. I generally avoid beaches where it’s allowed because you have to watch out for motoring morons in their stupid jacked up trucks and SUVs. Not really an enjoyable walk.
