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

A mom in a Toyota Sienna pulls a Cybertruck out of a treacherous sandpit

What 4WD truck is unable to get out of this?
The Toyota probably has front wheel drive only.

And who didn't get the memo yet that Cybertrucks are notoriously useless in any real offroad situation.

Fuck Elon, Fuck TESLA and it's a disguised blessing because it helps other e-car manufacturers get a slice of market. Yay!

So.... this is actuality the only part of this video I didn't laugh at...

In sand and snow, keeping the wheels stationary only serves to dig the hole you're in deeper and deeper. Turning the wheels back and forth serves to widen and possibly lower the angle of the slope of the hole you find your tires digging, this making it easier to dislodge the vehicle. I'm my experience, its hit or ms whether it helps, but it's far from the worst thing to try.

The article says thats its one of the rare 2 wheelers

Yes, you only see the rear wheels spin. Also, the Toyota looks to not be in the sand pit.
