Snow is 90% about tires. Proper snow tires make a dramatic difference. I'm sure any other truck would get stuck in the same place. They have MUCH poorer weight distribution.
From another thread on this topic, I've learned that apparently the cybertruck uses custom tires that are the only ones that fit on the stock wheels. In other words, if you want tires that function properly in the snow you've got to replace the wheels themselves, too.
If you're getting a separate set of winter tires you're going to need another set of wheels anyway. I mean you could have them switched to the same wheels and be rebalanced twice a year but I don't know anyone who does that. Here everyone simply just has two sets of wheels.
