Gas-Powered Savior: Tesla Cybertruck with Christmas Tree Gets Stuck in Snow, Is Rescued by Ford Truck
Breitbart ^ | 12/18/2023 | Lucas Nolan

Posted on 12/18/2023 11:51:06 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

A recent incident involving a Tesla Cybertruck getting stuck carrying a Christmas tree in a California forest has become a viral sensation, especially because the stranded electric vehicle was rescued by a gas-powered Ford F150.

The Los Angeles Times reports that a Tesla Cybertruck became the center of attention after sliding down a snowy embankment while carrying a Christmas tree on its roof. Much to the embarrassment of fans of Elon Musk’s odd-looking electric vehicles, the stranded EV was rescued by a Ford F150 that pulled the Cybertruck to safety. The post was originally made to Facebook but quickly went viral on other platforms including X/Twitter.

At my local mall they had a Tesla inside with the hood open with a sign that said, for those who qualify can get a $7,500 federal tax credit! I gave it the finger and walked away. I'm sure most people in the mall have no idea what a tax credit is on top of it. Illinois for goodness sake.

What? Cars get stuck in the snow all the time. What does the source of power have to do with it?

NEVER underestimate the POWER of the Ford EV’s, to rescue a Tesla, in this case.

$7,500 won’t even cover the cost of the new battery that WILL have to be eventually replaced.

Also, a little off topic but when your EV catches fire in your garage and burns your house down, who do you file your claim with.....your homeowners insurance company or your auto owners insurance company? 🤔

EVs are for homosexuals.

The $7,500 tax credit is bad for everybody except the car makers. It results in the EV price being artificially inflated. And if your total income tax liability for the year isn’t at least $7,500 you don’t get the full EV credit. (In tax-lingo, it’s a non-refundable credit.)

“”$7,500 federal tax credit””

I like to edumacate liberals whenever possible. When driving, I will point out a nearby Tesla and state that all of us helped someone with extra money to purchase that car. If they are still listening, I state that most of these EV owners have two or more vehicles, and at least one gas-powered.* Very likely an SUV also. Then, if necessary, I return to the trillions of dollars the government collects, and then doles out to others.

*I love ‘charging’ my gasoline-powered SUV. It usually takes 4-5 minutes.

"... carrying a Christmas tree on its roof."

LOL. That's not the roof. That's the BED of the "truck." Kind of like the bed on an old El Camino or Ranchero, except the El Camino and Ranchero bed's were more functional.

I have to agree with Currahee — “That’s not a ‘truck,’ just like a Trans female is not a woman...doesn’t matter how you dress ‘em.”

I see the irony, but this is clearly a case of having the wrong tires (for those conditions/terrain) on that truck.

Maybe they come with those from the factory because they’re not expected to be driven off road or when it snows...

I get the joke, but it’s unfair:

ALL 4x4s get stuck.

Perhaps Elon should add a winch...

One place you could depend on getting your car fixed right.

Eh. It’s as much a truck is those stupid Ridgelines and others with the ridiculous 4ft beds. There is no shortage of crappy low-capability faux trucks on the market.
