  • Honestly, it is! It’s big, it’s lumbering, it’s heavy AF. Somehow, with small-arms resistant steel for doors, it’s 2000 lbs lighter than the Hummer EV and I would still have expected the Hummer to have less trouble with that hill. Hard to tell from this video though honestly - an inexperienced off-roader in a Jeep/Raptor/whatever could have had just as much trouble as the Cybertruck did here.

    I think Tesla is struggling with the cybertruck. They have a lot of skills and lessons learned from their other vehicles, but a truck is completely different in use case. They seem out of their depth here.

    Disclaimer: I’m not an Elon/Tesla hater. I want to see them succeed for a number of reasons. I want to like the Cybertruck. It ain’t there yet.
