New videos of Tesla Cybertruck off-roading appear to show it struggling to climb up a steep dirt hill::One video showed a 1946 Jeep CJ-2A successfully navigating the same hill that the Cybertruck struggled to summit.

      I think that the most difference is the weight of the two vehicles… Most modern cars are way too heavy, and the cybertruck is an extreme example of bloat

      It comes down to having tires sized to carry the weight. A heavy vehicle would need tires the size of those Russian off-road vehicles to match the light Jeep. Also why light offroad vehicles like a Polaris side-by-side are so popular now with people that drive trails. And why you would never want to take those lifted full-sized trucks off road even though they are popular on the highway.
