A video shows a Tesla Cybertruck struggling to climb a steep dirt hill, while a Hummer completes the ascent in reverse. The event, captured and posted on Facebook by Jett Full Throttle, highlights an unexpected outcome in an off-road test between the two vehicles. Both are marketed as capable off-roaders for rough terrain.
A Tesla Cybertruck lined up against a Hummer for a steep hill climb, as depicted in a video posted to Facebook by Jett Full Throttle. The footage begins with both vehicles at the base of a sharp dirt incline, poised to ascend. As the attempt starts, the Cybertruck surges forward but quickly encounters issues, with its wheels spinning early and failing to gain sufficient momentum.
The electric vehicle progresses about halfway up the slope before losing pace and reversing back down. Observers noted what appeared to be a stall or hesitation, preventing it from completing the climb. In contrast, the Hummer driver adopts a different strategy, turning the vehicle around to attempt the hill in reverse.
This approach proves effective, as the Hummer not only advances further than the Cybertruck but successfully reverses all the way up and over the top of the hill. The Cybertruck is positioned as a bold, capable EV designed to handle tough terrain, including steep inclines like this one. However, the video shifts from a direct performance comparison to an illustration of how off-road success can depend on technique as well as vehicle capabilities.
