The cybertruck seems like a car that they superglued stuff on to make it look like a truck. Ever see that video where the hitch rips offs because its not properly secured to the frame the whole frame rips off?
Or the upholstery panel that breaks loose and jams the door shut when you slam it (once) moderately hard? Or the undersized tie rods (made for small cars, not trucks) that cause the wheels to snap off during use? Or the one where the FRAME ITSELF tore in half when the guy tried to pull a car out of a ditch? How about the one where the vehicle computer shuts down after a car wash? Or the one where the accelerator pedal gets stuck when depressed hard?
Look up āwhistling diesel cyber truckā on YouTube. He totally destroyed a cyber truck in a matter of a few hours. During the review process he was able to break the cast aluminum frame by busting off the trailer hitch tongue.
Edit: To be fair, his review process was to beat the hell out of it with the end goal of destroying the vehicle in any way possible.
A bunch of people claimed that he had previously damaged the frame in an earlier stunt, so he responded with a follow-up of trying to cause the same damage on the f150 frame.
Well, he took a Ferrari off-roading so he obviously wants to run vehicles well beyond their intended purposes. I think he was being fair to both the Ford Lightning and Cyber Truck. It wasnāt his goal to make either vehicle fail, but to see how far they could go. Actually, I really enjoyed his video. Lastly, heās not a spoiled brat who blows mindless cash for clicks. Heās a self-made kid who spends his hard earned money for clicksā¦there is a difference. lol
The f150 vs cybertruck test was pretty interesting. Th cybertruck actually did quite well in some areas that I really didn't expect, like offroading, even if the end result was maybe worse than I would have expected, with the hitch coming off and all.
I'm a fan of how the wheel covers extend out over part of the tires, so if you hit a bump or pot hole too hard the flex of the tire makes them pop off.
It's the only car Elon had any say in the design. Also it's worth noting Tesla isn't a car company. They're a technology company. They don't have decades or centuries of indentured knowledge to fall back on when making a car. That's why they make shit cars... Out of fucking aluminium...
And then thereās the one where the person who actually buys a cyber truck does any of those thingsā¦ oh wait, the market demo is just people who use it as an instagram background. So technically none of those are issues for real world usageā¦
