Tesla CyberTRUCK or CyberBROKE?? The TRUTH About Cybertruck Frame Snapping In Half!!!
The Tesla Cybertruck is unlike any truck before it, and although some are attracted to the truck for that very reason, the way the truck is built is also very different from traditional trucks. When it comes to the structure of the Cybertruck, no compromises can be made given the high levels of claimed capabilities.
YouTuber WhistlinDiesel just recently posted his long awaited video where he utterly destroys the Cybertruck. In this video, he submits the Cybertruck to a gauntlet of torture that would destroy any truck, and in the end, the truck was still functioning somehow.
Comparing the Cybertruck to a “real truck” was the purpose of the video in question, and in that torture testing, a critical failure occurred in the structure of the Cybertruck. While pulling a stuck F-150, the rear end of the truck completely snapped off.
At first it was hard to understand how this could possibly happen. At closer inspection, we can clearly see the truck failed at the casting, which is the frame of the truck. Essentially, the casting snapped in half, releasing the trailer hitch with it. Left with a snapped rear casting and a tow hitch that has completely let lose from the truck, it raises a lot of questions about the strength of the truck for towing.
It is extremely important to understand how a casting works, how the Cybertruck is engineered, and the circumstances leading up to the ultimate failure in this case. The Cybertruck is undoubtedly engineered to be extremely strong, and even claims the designation of bullet proof. But all vehicles, no matter how tough, do have failure points, and in this case, the abuse the Cybertruck was submitted to ultimately caused a catastrophic failure.
During a segment of the video, the Cybertruck is driven across a row of 4 foot culverts. At the end of the row, the Cybertruck gets stuck and is pulled out with the F-150, and when it clears the last Culvert, it is dropped with force on the rear of the truck and the Culvert and then again on a concrete spike on the ground.
The Cybertruck is rated to tow 11,000 lbs and a tongue weight of 1,110 lbs. In this case, a more than 6k lb truck was dropped right on top of the trailer hitch, and rear structure of the truck from a height. The vertical forces that the rear of the truck were submitted to were well beyond that of any truck on the market today is rated to handle. This ultimately led to the failure we later see when the F-150 is attached to the rear of the Cybertruck and pulled hard.
Having towed nearly 10k lbs across the country, I can say from experience and with confidence that the Cybertruck is more than capable of towing massive loads. It is also safe in doing so and to submit the truck to destructive testing does not represent the trucks overall structural strength.

Ha, go watch whistling diesel new video where he absolutely pulverizes the f150 hitch and it never breaks! EVER!
the cybertrunk is junk. If you purchased it you made one of the worst financial decisions in the last 10 years.
So glad WD disproved all the "it hit the concrete" bs
1. No other Cybertruck hitch has failed. 2. The Cybertruck hitch design is clearly inferior to steel trucks, but that doesn't make it weak or not safe. 3. C4 to the doors and tailgate has the final vote: Cybertruck wins.
@beardedteslaguy, just curious what you think about the second video from WhistlingDiesel? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_scBKKHi7WQ&pp=ygUdc2Vjb25kIGN5YmVydHJ1Y2sgaGl0Y2ggYnJva2U%3D I am wondering how that second truck of a family happened as well. I appreciate this video and explanation, it looks strong yet makes you wonder.
"built stronger than most trucks out there" – To be clear a normal truck would never have the frame break and it would take a lot more than just landing on itself to even bend the frame.
i think the cybertruck is a cool vehicle for everyday use just dont use that damn tow hitch on the highway or any public roads most highways in America are not being well maintained and are breaking down teslas hitting a pot hole towing a boat or something near the max tow capacity scares me with the current tow hitch they have
Well this aged like dog shit
I like the update video Cody made.
To say it stronger then traditional, steel truck . You have to be completely delusional and a Tesla apologize. I am not saying anything is wrong but if you did watch the video, he absolutely proved tube steel is frame is 10 times stronger than the aluminum Tesla uses.
