A [new video]() shared by YouTube channel YotaFam Adventures shows the divisive pickup struggling to climb a dirt hill before bashing into a tree at the Hidden Falls Adventure Park, a rugged off-roading park just under an hour's drive from Tesla's Cybertruck factory in Austin, Texas. The footage shows the truck helplessly spinning its wheels as it increasingly wedges itself into a small tree before being towed up the hill by another vehicle with a winch. Videos of Cybertrucks struggling while off-roading have seemingly become an entire genre, with netizens basking in glee as they watch the truck getting hopelessly stuck. "I will ABSOLUTELY LAUGH at any Cybertruck that tries to off-road," the video's top comment reads. "Just don't forget to bring an ICE truck with a winch to save your ass when you get stuck," one user [tweeted]() with a laughing emoji. https://youtu.be/heb7Q0wryRI ## Oops, No Traction The Cybertruck has emerged as a divisive piece of automotive engineering, in large part thanks to the cult surrounding its maker's [contentious]() CEO Elon Musk. Critics have also pointed out the truck's [eye-watering price tag](), highly unusual design, unnecessary bulk, and needlessly [bulletproof (ish)]() exterior. Its range has also [drawn plenty of scrutiny](), covering far fewer miles on a single charge compared to its competitors. Several videos of the truck struggling to make it off-road have circulated since the truck went on sale late last year, from struggling to [clear a steep dirt road]() to literally having [one of its wheels snap off](). But whether these instances can be chalked up to the design of Tesla's truck or user error remains something of a debate. However, there seems to be a consensus about the kind of person that is drawn toward the Cybertruck. "This car is really becoming a symbol for poor life choices," Sebastiaan de With, cofounder of the iPhone photography app Halide, [tweeted]() after watching a Cybertruck [get stuck on a California beach]() last month. **More on the truck:** *[Test Shows the Model X Has Better Range Than the Cybertruck When Pulling the Same Trailer]()* ## Author I've been at Futurism since 2017, where my role has evolved to encompass design, writing, and increasingly editing. I've always been fascinated by space exploration and advanced transportation, which I've leaned into by interviewing luminaries in those fields while closely following the dimensions of policy and regulation that allow next-generation projects to succeed -- or, sometimes, to fail. I'm also keenly interested in the effects of generative AI on society, policies, and democratic institutions, as well as clean energy, physics and biology, and the vagaries of tech leadership. My work for Futurism has been cited by publications including Ars Technica, Gizmodo, PC Magazine, Jalopnik, Fox News, and the New York Post. I spent my childhood living in locations including Manila, the Philippines, and Geneva, Switzerland, attended McGill University, and now live in Toronto, Canada. Before Futurism I worked at AskMen and a small photography studio. In my free time, I'm an avid gardener, foodie, and craft beer lover, as well as a maker of artisanal hot pepper sauces. I have a magnificent dog named Freida. ### Author social links [Bluesky]()
