Another day, another Cybertruck being towed from somewhere nobody really ought to need a tow from. Take a look, Toyota Sienna to the rescue.

The amount of pick ups that get stuck on beaches will never not be funny.

Like, yah, cool, you got it lifted, you put big off road tires on it. It’s still got shit ground pressure, it’s too fucking heavy for that kind of terrain, especially with such comparatively small wheels. There are pickups that can be modified to handle beaches and sand, but they’re the smaller ones that aren’t starting with a massive handicap from weight.

There is a reason dune buggies are small and light, there is a reason tanks have tracks.

But doing it with a cyber truck is an extra level of stupid.
