Since its release, Tesla’s Cybertruck has generated much discussion due to its daring design and robust build quality. However, now that it’s actually on the road, the reality is turning out to be far less amazing than the anticipation.

Cybertruck owners are already dealing with several issues, from getting stuck in the mud to having trouble performing routine maintenance, and the impending winter will only worsen matters.
Stuck in the Snow: A Big Problem for a “Rugged” Truck
Tesla has marketed the Cybertruck as a vehicle that’s tough enough to handle anything, but recent videos tell a different story. Multiple clips show the Cybertruck getting stuck in what most would consider mild snow.
In one viral video, the truck got stuck in just four inches of snow, leading to jokes and criticism on social media. In another instance, a Cybertruck had to be towed through the snow near Lake Tahoe, and there have been several other similar situations.
Although bad tires or driver errors could be behind these issues and others like it, the truth remains that a truck meant to be the off-road vehicle of the future shouldn’t be having this much trouble in situations that many other cars can easily manage. How will the Cybertruck fare in a hard winter if it struggles in light snow?

Stainless Steel Nightmares
Another issue Cybertruck owners are facing is the stainless steel body, which, while futuristic in appearance, is a real hassle to maintain. Like DeLorean owners before them, Cybertruck owners are discovering that keeping the exterior clean and looking new is a constant struggle.
Even using something as basic as Windex can leave behind uneven dark spots and streaks, making the truck look old and worn after just a few weeks.
Some owners consider wrapping their trucks to protect the finish, but even that comes with challenges. The longer you wait to wrap it, the harder it is to make the stainless steel look as good as new.

Winter Is Coming – And It's Not Looking Good
As we head into winter, these issues will only worsen. Snow, ice, and road salt are about to become a big problem for Cybertruck owners.
The truck’s aluminum frame is lightweight and strong, but it can corrode when exposed to road salt, so it’s no wonder that some experts are warning that this could cause serious wear and tear, especially in areas with harsh winters.
People have already criticized the vehicle for its cold-weather performance. Like most electric vehicles, its battery doesn't do well in low temperatures, and the Cybertruck is no exception.
Reports of Teslas having trouble charging in cold weather have left owners stranded. With the Cybertruck's limited range compared to traditional trucks, this could be a serious issue when the temperature drops.
A Truck with Promises It Can't Keep
All these problems point to a larger issue: the Cybertruck may not be as tough as Tesla wants you to believe. The delays in production, quality control issues, and these early performance problems suggest that the truck wasn't as ready for the market as Tesla claimed. And with winter around the corner, Cybertruck owners have every reason to be concerned.
