Or just don’t drive on sand that is so soft you sink to your ankles walking in it.

Since no one else has said it, this isn’t a design flaw of the truck. The operator didn’t let air out of their tires. Before driving on sand you really want to let your tire PSI down to like 15 to be safe. I used to pull hummers out of the beach with my old four cylinder Nissan pickup because their drivers were often overconfident they didn’t need to deflate their tires (or just completely unaware). I don’t like Tesla but this is an operator error, not a fatal flaw of the truck.

That’s handy to know, but I believe the implication is that the owner of the car in the photo is dumb for buying the car and then dumb for getting it stuck in sand.

Does that still apply to vehicles that weigh 6600+ lbs?

I towed several hummer v2s. Wiki says they are 6400 lbs stock.

It’s more of the taking $150k truck that doesn’t like sand, salt, or water to the beach.
You aren’t wrong though
