I pulled a tree stump out of my garden with my old Nissan Almera.
It wasn't powerful enough to do so in straight pulling power, but slack the cable and give it a few jolts and out it came.
I bet that's what happened with the train too. Getting it moving is the trick, once it moves the friction is greatly reduced.

What will decide the pickup tug of war is per wheel thrust vectoring which the Tesla Pickup will no doubt use.

For confirmation go to people just like you.
For education go to people unlike yourself.
