Who would win: a 2024 Cybertruck or 2014 Subaru?

I mean you, already know, but watching it happen was pretty funny.

So mechanically is it the weight, or the type of tires? An EV should actually be more nimble in instances if it can drive each wheel independently with more precision.

... Yes.

So, weight is a good thing on all but the deepest snow. So that's a plus. EVs actually do have a lot of pluses for off-roading and harsh weather, they have all the hardware required to do it well, but the software is evidently half-baked on this one.

If I were an automotive engineer and I wanted to fix that shitty performance, I'd start by troubleshooting the traction control system.

Basically lines with the Tesla way: cheap and flashy

It's 100% on brand.

They can’t power each wheel independently. There are two motors, one for the front and one for the rear.

That is wild. How did they not add that in to such an expensive vehicle?

Oh, right. Because Elon directed this trucks creation. What an idiot.

That EV can’t, but some EVs can. For example the Rivian R1T has a quad motor set up.

They didn't use a limited slip diff?
