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.

God damn is that thing ugly as fucking sin. It’s like they went out of their way to make it as fucking ugly as possible.

It's kind of cool in a retro futurism kind of way but no shot I'd be rolling around in that thing.

I unironically like it.

However, it does need to have an automated machine gun turret to actually tie the aesthetic together.

I hate Elon Musk and I still like the cybertruck.

I'm ashamed but I'd probably buy one and be happy with it, 100% in the city, doing mostly light hobby work, towing a boat, or locally camping.

Don't hate him enough to not fork over a ton of cash to his pocket for the uglymobile

It looks like it came from the Battlestar Galactica 1980s tv series prop collection. Should come with a robot dog.

It has worse aerodynamics than a Jeep Wrangler, too.

It has worse aerodynamics than a double wide getting pulled down the freeway.

How do you have worse aerodynamics than two bricks stacked on top of each other
