That's a stupid truck, and it probably has a billion flaws in addition to poor traction control.
But that's more snow than anyone should be trying to drive through. It's at least 18 inches of uncompressed powder, judging from the tire tracks which are probably compacted ice.
Snow tires might help, but that should be plowed or shoveled before you drive over it.
Edit: Jesus fucking Christ, I don't give a shit if you go rally racing in the Himalayas in a Ford Pinto. Congratulations, you win the Golden Shut the Fuck Up. This is a 5 second clip of a cybertruck spinning out because they pulled into an unplowed driveway. My point was just that you shouldn't do that. Shovel your fucking driveway. Would a proper 4wd vehicle handle that? Probably. But ice is ice, and you shouldn't expect a car that's still loading polygons to have magical friction powers.
I used to drive my 2004 Xterra through 2 feet of powder. A good SUV should be able to handle some snow if it has decent clearance under the body.
