People have a lot to say after Cybertruck stuck on small hill had to be towed

Elon Musk's Tesla Cybertruck may be advertised as being 'built for any adventure' but unfortunately, one ended up being defeated by a small hill and had to get a tow.

From a 'major flaw' being spotted ahead of winter to another person's Cybertruck sinking into the ground, Tesla's electric pick-up truck hasn't been faring as well as hoped. And another video of one of the vehicles getting into a spot of bother hasn't gone unnoticed online.

The Cybertruck can be seen down a small slope which is covered in a bit of snow - not particularly deep, but on a slope nonetheless. And that was me trying to be kind, because the slope is minor, certainly not steep or treacherous.

Alas, behind the Cybertruck you can see a Ford pickup truck with a tow line extending to the front of the stricken Tesla.

A video shows the Cybertruck's wheels spinning helplessly as it struggles to get any traction even with the tow attached - oh and the supposed off-road tires.

The caption for the video - originally posted to Instagram by @mchambers_22 - explains the 'RC' version of the vehicle reportedly had issues with traction control due to a software bug.

Not only that, but the caption details the vehicle allegedly wasn't equipped with pickup points or recovery points - which would certainly make the process of helping the truck easier.

And the video is made all the more awkward given Tesla and Ford had a go firing shots at each other on social media over the two company's individual trucks.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk took to Twitter to share a video of a Cybertruck pulling a Ford F-150, while Ford shared a video of a Ford F-150 tackling a difficult test hill which a Cybertruck had appeared to struggle with.

And it's not taken long for people to weigh in.

One person posted an image from the video to Reddit with the caption: "Is the [Ford] F-150 recovery truck included in the Founders edition?"

Some rushed to the Cybertruck's defence.

One wrote: "Just finding the limits, a software tweak and it all good," as a second said: "This RC prototype didn’t have right software for off road conditions."

However, others couldn't help themselves.

One joked: "You got it backwards bud. The Cyberbeast just caught its prey and [is] about to pull it in for the kill."

And someone else put: "Cybertruck can get stuck off road in 2.6 seconds. Faster than any truck on earth."

Meanwhile, another was more scathing, posting: "It doesn't at all seem like the type of situation that mandates a tow recovery. I'd be really embarrassed if I couldn't make it up that grade with some snow. If I saw this I'd stop payment on my $120k check."
