This scenario played out recently in Bear Valley, California. A Tesla Cybertruck found itself stranded on an off-road trail, and it took a trusty old-fashioned Ford truck to come to the rescue.

From Western Journal:
Ford found itself in the enviable position of having a new competitor touting how great Ford trucks are after a disastrous Christmas outing for a new owner of one of Tesla’s (and Elon Musk’s) Cybertrucks.
Earlier this week, a viral video made its way to social media that showed a Tesla Cybertruck being saved from a literal slippery slope … by a Ford truck.
“Cyber Truck getting recovered after sliding off trail at Corral Hollow ohv. No clue why he was so far off trail,” the original Instagram post noted.
Obviously, the visual of a stuck Cybertruck — trying to futilely haul a Christmas tree, no less — is not the best look for Tesla or Musk.
But the fact that a competitor had to save this Cybertruck is just the icing on the cake.
Well, this doesn't bode well for Tesla's new truck. The whole point of having one of these beasts is to tackle off-road adventures and handle hefty loads.
Unless you're all about the truck life just for the looks, then this is the ride for you.
