~~It’s worth noting that due to brilliant design decisions, the only way to put different tires on it is to replace the whole wheel.~~ edit: apparently this part was not correct, my apologies for the misinformation

I'm no fan of the cybertruck nor Tesla but this is likely a tires issue and not necessarily a Tesla issue.

When I drove my car through snow on performance tires last year I barely made it home even though there's only half an inch of snow on the road.

All that being said: proprietary tires? That's fucking asinine. Tech company gonna tech company i suppose

~~To my knowledge, they are custom Tesla tires. On custom Tesla rims that don’t accommodate non-Tesla tires. So still a Tesla problem.~~

edit: apparently my knowledge is wrong

See my reply to your other comment, your knowledge is wrong.
