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.
Lol no, I drive a 2011 GMC Serria 2500HD in rural Michigan, USA and my truck would have no problem going up that. In fact my driveway goes up a hill that is far taller than the one shown and most of the time I don’t even have to turn on 4 wheel drive. I don’t even have snow tires as my all terrains work just fine (as a former autotech I do highly recommend snow tires though). For the weight distribution, yes, but that’s also why we throw weight in the bed over the rear axle which solves that real easy.
The problem with the cyber truck is it was designed by people who don’t use trucks for a techbro demographic who don’t need trucks.
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.
I mean, it’s a large American pickup truck. We all know that it’s only a matter of time before those rims are replaced with polished aluminum trashcans

There’s no way you can know that.
