If I had a dollar for every idiot who swore a traditional steel truck would be trashed on the same drop I would be able to retire. Innovation and pushing the envelope is great. You just can't skip basic quality and safety on the way. (Owned/own multiple f-150's and 6.2 Escalades and use to tow the boats where safety is insanely important)
But Tesla didn't innovate anything. Their cars especially cyber truck are extremely basic backwards low quality toys, they are in fact innovating now making cars less then thermo were and building trucks that cannot be used as truck even if they work. There is reason why musk is not allowed into space x...they know he is only good as sponsor but moment he touches something it turns to shit.
Aluminium casting was made mostly to reduce costs. It's also stiffer which makes the truck drive like a sport car. So it would be fine if they added a crumple zone between the frame and the hitch.
@@JoshuaOverman sure maybe for a truck that cost 10k brand new but this is ten times that. The tesla absolutely lost in being even remotely usable as a truck😂
Probably just wanted to cut down the weight since the damn thing is already as heavy as 2 f150s. Probably just needs to switch to steel frames for the cybertruck and its good to go.
I admit, I was one of those folks who wondered about that hit on the back. You certainly proved how that absolutely should NEVER happen. I have always called this thing: the meme truck- it's the only good name for it!
Imagine posting a public comment on a VERY popular video saying an aluminum frame on a vehicle can withstand more abuse than a steel frame on a vehicle. And now imagine being that same person and watching you drop the steel framed vehicle 100 times with no hitch receiver issues including dragging it through the dirt with an excavator. Now if you're that aforementioned person, I'd strongly reconsider everything you've ever done in life and consider doing the exact opposite from here on our 👌👌
Especially since the cybertruck doesn't even have a frame. It is unibody. The entire truck would need to be recalled, and a new replacement given to customers. Much worse than Toyota and their frame fiasco.
So technically Ford has the advantage. It's way cheaper and works better. Lol. Tesla. More expensive and prone to break if it rains. Or goes off a cliff. What a bucket of shit.
People really think this guy doesn’t destroy the vehicles he’s testing… yet made a whole separate video to prove people that they’re stupid😂 never change never change
It broke because when it fell it hit the concrete as he said but what he did not mention is that the tongue wight is only 1000 which the tongue weight is the core being pushed up. When a car well over 1000 pounds goes on the tongue weight, it will break. So they pushed it over its limits please copy and paste this I want more people to be informed
0:42 As a mechanical engineer, it's safer for a hitch to bend than to snap. You'll still have control of your trailer and can come to a safe stop. I get most of you like the cybertruck but just admit when you're wrong. Its just poorly engineered. Still, the concept is amazing and it looks awesome, just dont use it for truck purposes 😅
As a mechanical engineer you would understand tongue weight which is 1100 pounds. Or vertical pressure. Considering the weight of the cybertruck, the impact exceeded the threshold of its vertical limits. Under no circumstance would towing 11,000 lbs cause the frame to snap.
Over engineered, and then overlooked. I'm surprised that this made it all the way through production and certification without that being addressed. Surely the government safety standards certification is sound right? Just like everything else the government runs I suppose.
I write estimates for an insurance company. Today I saw an F150's frame horn that was smashed into a pancake. A frame will bend, buckle, & crease, but should absolutely never shear off
I work in QA, specifically with cast aluminum. Aluminum is great, it's an incredible metal, it literally changed the world, but it really likes to break when you push it too far. It's easier to break than glass in certain circumstances, it's more flexible than steel in certain circumstances, it's just so dang weird and the metallurgy is so complicated, stress/strain curves and all that stuff. But the steel frame bending all over the place and the cast aluminum frame breaking, is not surprising in the slightest to me.
Nope it shouldn't be surprising to anyone that has dealt with cast aluminum its used everywhere like lower and upper control arms on most cars and trucks that hold the front wheel on and break offen from most impacts to the wheels
Also depended on the shape. They made the frame have those cross cross-sections for increased rigidity over reduced weight. But that means that instead of bending, it starts shearing the vertical parts because they can't stretch anymore. Then that shear creates a stress point for then to rip the whole thing off when pulled. Steel car frames often have a box or U shape, when those bend they metal can move places without starting a shear fracture, making it even less likely to break than it already is based on the material.
Argument is done. Musk pitched these as replacement work trucks. You will hit a pothole, you will bottom on jobsites. We beat the fuck out of the F150s and up, we drive them where they shouldn't go, they drive on farms, construction sites, off drop offs, through puddles we can't see, etc. Bumping a hitch is SUPER common. The truth is, Cody probably saved some lives for the trades guys. Nobody will buy these now as there is irrefutable proof they can't handle the job. It was a lawsuit waiting to happen.
Everybody donate your cybertrucks to Cody, for every frame he rips off under light load he saves another random driver from a carmageddon level encounter with a friendly boat
0:05 this is the last place i would have imagined hearing a Basement song. had to pause the video because i thought my phone started playing from my library
i like the fact that the video showed not only dropping it onto the frame, but also the very tip of the installed hitch where the leverage and force is much higher, and it still didn't break off. that to me is irrefutable evidences that a frame should never be made out of aluminum.
The weight of the f-150 is significantly less and 90% of that weight is on the front two tires because of the engine. The cyber Truck had 2-3 times the force coming down on that slab because the battery is spread across the whole truck. These tests are just stupid.
If he used a strap with some give instead of a chain with 0 - the tesla would have been fine. Remember the topgear episode with the toyota trucks in the arctic? they used super elastic bungee straps to pull themselves out without destroying their frames.
@@Aaronalex117There actually people that drove on the highway and same rear frame snapped on them and lost trailer. Once I saw that cross section on his last video where it snapped and the fact it aluminum, it definitely a weak point and knew it going to be a issue.
Remember that Aluminum is a material without a fatigue limit like steel. It literally has to break eventually even if you're only towing Cody in a tiny trailer. That's why Airplane frames get regular X-rays of the ENTIRE airframe.
The fact that the F150 straightened itself out without needing to spend $12,000 and many weeks getting repaired says a lot, especially when it drove away like nothing happened right after the fact.
Geniuses arguing that the reason it broke is because it fell ass first on a concrete block, not realizing they are pointing out the exact problem they're trying to argue against.
@@goodgremlinmedia2757 watch the video before making false statements they prove wrong in the video. besides tongue weight deals with the downward pressure a trailer puts on the hitch, when the cyber truck broke it was towing a chain that was not putting any downward pressure on the hitch. The towing weight is more important and in the vid he explains the frame of the truck should have held up to way more than it was exposed to. mind you the towing capacity is 11k lbs and the wright of a Ford F150 is around 4-5k
the aluminum isnt entirely the problem its the fact that its just held on by the tiniest thinnest extrusions it needs to be solid and significantly thicker to be able to match the strength of steel in that application. i have an aluminum trailer that works just fine but its also thicker and only rated for 10k lbs gross, and it also has a bit of steel to reinforce key areas.
This video is literally the definition of “Built Ford Tough”. Ford F series trucks have been hauling trailers for decades. If that steel was able to snap, I’m sure in the many decades the f series truck has been around that problem would’ve been found within the first year. People really have no common sense.
Elon is great, but admit it… for 85k this is CyberJunk. Pulling a load knocks range down to about 100 miles. Charge time. Battery life. Battery replacement $$$$$$. Lack of continental infrastructure to charge a lot of EVs. Imagine if the guy who invented the ox cart did so before ox… his sole inspiration was to move heavy loads. Well, that is what Elon has done here. Good luck hauling stuff long distances.
My dad is a mechanic who also owns an F150, I showed the video of you braking the Cybertruck's frames and he was surprised that it broke and told my that almost every other pickup truck can hold thier own body wight
So about the aluminum frame for the Cybertruck… Aluminum frames were originally designed for sports cars, because it is lighter and has more rigidity. For a truck, steel is obviously better. Like Cody said himself, aluminum obviously doesn’t have the strength for a heavy duty truck that is supposed to take punishment. If the Cybertruck was a performance built truck and not for off-road or towing (and if it wasn’t so damn ugly), I may actually consider buying it if I had the money. In my head it sounds awesome, an electric street performance truck.
tucker got paid to drive in circles while whistlindiesel absolutely rammed the shit out of it out of his own pocket, with zero motivation to depict the cybertruck as a bad car. yet the back still fell off like lego bricks disconnecting (because that's what the cybertruck is made of)
"I still love Elon and think he is really thinking outside of the box" You might want to reconsider that, especially if the box is attached to the hitch on your cybertruck :)
I wonder how the Cybertruck would of performed if he only dropped the back of it from 5 feet like he did the F150. 7 ton truck falling vertically 8 feet is different than this test he did from 5 feet and only like 900 pounds falling onto it.
as much as I want to say it I like this channel but he yanked the truck to concrete the f1- 50 got dropped by a chain controlled by an excavator so it is slower than the impact e cybertruck had but it still is a bit fragile but I still love the channel
Thank you cody , I’ve encouraged countless idiots who claim it’s because the cyber truck weighs so much more, when a f150 weighs 6200-6800 lbs (quadcab 4x4) and a cyber truck weighs 6600-6800. Then they go on to argue weight distribution when a f150 is 54/46 vs 52/48. Even that drop onto the hitch wasnt much and was no worse than the impact a hitch faces everytime you hit a bump, apply the brakes of gas. Using cast aluminium was a bad choice
Ford: Trailer goes thru, still works perfectly fine✅️ Gets dropped 20+ times on concrete, still drives without dropping bags for repair✅️ Gets dragged opposite directions, yet it runs a ok✅️ Gets a concrete block dropped on it, tries to pull it off. It's still on and the car still works✅️ Pulls concrete with chain, perfectly fine✅️ Tesla: Tries to pull a Ford with chain and the frame breaks off, also $12k in repairs❌️
You don't think the ford truck would cost 12k to repair in it's current state as well? The cybertruck was also still driving in the end even with the frame damage sustained; and you also completely forgot already that the cybertruck was dropped on its hitch and then pulled the Ford even though it was literally just stated in this video. It was not simply pulling the ford that broke the frame... Like cmon man you can diss on the cybertruck without stating lies, its performance was still laughable even when stating the complete truth...
Again, I have to say Cody, the content that you and your team create is pure gold on so many levels. It's always hilarious, and informative. There isn't anywhere else in the world, ever, that you can see with your own eyes vehicles, and mechanical equipment of all types being stress tested to their utter breaking point, only to repair it and kill it some more ! Not to mention you are doing my absolute favorite pastime when I was a younger man (don't get me wrong, it still is my favorite leisure activity, but with age comes a lowering of ones tolerance to sudden stops) and I would have killed to have been able to destroy the kind of stuff you do, daily. I was still stress testing every mechanical thing I got my hands on, to failure, but my budget was considerably smaller than yours ! Thanks for all of the great content and keep it coming !
Literally exactly what I was thinking the entire time was " that is a realistic amount of force some people will encounter towing a heavy load and running into a pothole or dip in the road they didn't see" and sure enough it happened lol
I watched a video response to the original cybertruck durability test and the best argument they had was that Cody was just an entertainer and the video had cuts in it. They didn't actually address any of issues.
@@salvm4715 No, the best argument they had was that he never dropped the F-150 down 5ft d onto it's hitch and jumped the Cybertruck twice as high off then hill, then fudged the points multiple times, failing to add them when the electric won and failing to subtract when the F-150 failed. Electrics are whack but being so terrified of them that you have to rig basic "comparisons" is just pa thet ic.
Also forget that aluminum degrades in strength over time to the point of a normal load causing failure. You can load steel to its limit over and over and over and over again with no failure.
Yep. Steel, in tension, will elongate more than Aluminum. Meaning Steel is more elastic. But with in enough stress, Steel will yield and will deform like plastic. Elongating more and more, causing a neck. Where fracture will eventually happen
aluminum doesn't snap, aluminum comes in different strengths and is used on every air plane , machined , the tesla die cast frame will , die casting is used for toys definitely not used for structural components
Make sure you put the word CAST aluminum. Rock bouncer almost all run a 7075 aluminum lower links now because they figured out they can take a hard hit without bending and the steel 2" x .250 wall DOM tube was bending with ease. we have found that even that heavy ass .250 wall tube sleeved with another .188 wall tube would bend, so guys tried solid steel bar stock and it would also bend. So if you look at all the newest Baddest rock bouncers out there today they are all running aluminum links.
The Tesla Cybertruck fans have gone quiet after watching this Ford built tough or ford built rough But at the end of the say at least the frame never snapped in half how the cybertruck did 💀
The raptor 1 engine - my base in any factory building game when my goal is progression The raptor 3 engine - my base when ive finished the progression and had time to focus on efficiency
Most of the raptor engineering team quit 2 years ago. Still Raptor continues to be unreliable, so unreliable in fact they have decided to run it at only 70% thrust decreasing starship's payload capacity to LEO from a 100 tons to less than 50. What a amazing progress, they build the largest rocket ever and it still has less mass to orbit (and TLI) than something designed in the 1960s with slide rules.
It was mind blowing how many people were missing the point that the frame was made of soft metal. Literally everywhere I saw clips of that video posted had someone (or dozens of Elon cork sniffers) saying how it would've happened with anything. It's a real design flaw, and the amount of people willing to overlook it for the sake of turning heads is insane to me.
Same delusional people who actually believe a car manufacturer is going to space. Apparently they missed the disclosure from NASA claiming space is fake and man never went to the moon. ❤
Elon watching this while writing a letter to You '' Please stop i will pay you money Please stop doing this to me, Tesla is losing sales Because of this. I will pay you 200 Grand If you don't post another Cybertruck durability test ''
My best guess is that he didn't actually want to do anything to damage the truck since he either was probably renting or wanted to resell it afterwards. Tucker don't have the WhistlinDiesel kinda money to just destroy 6 figure trucks for shits and giggles.
My guy he hauled some dirt and took it through some trails. He did what most people do daily with a truck. And It wasn’t his truck. Did you want him to destroy it like WD did? Try using your brain and actually think sometimes
Thinking outside the box is one thing. Repeatedly pulling a Boeing-level quality control or design issue is completely different. Running your company like a meme instead of a legitimate company is completely different. Thinking you have the time and energy to be the CEO of 3 completely disparate companies is completely different. Innovation in spite of safety and reliability is completely different. “Move fast and break things” was a famous quote from the man, why did anyone think he'd not actually do that?
Elon isn't even thinking outside of the box. He pays a bunch of people that do all the work, then claims it for himself. The cybertruck isn't innovative at all, its just a bunch of "hey the industry figured out these ideas are shit years ago we shouldn't do them anymore" It is a categoric failure in everyway. Which tells you it may have actually been the one idea Elon actually had at tesla since taking over the company and running it into the fucking dirt.
How did tesla miss this major structural problem during testing? Oh probably because they tested the towing on highways and not on the shitty roads. A lot of us drive on.
Fords have always been tough, just not reliable. They can still be fix or repair daily while being dropped on their hitch and dragged around by an excavator.
I genuinely think if Ford or any other truck company did their own ad in which they absolutely destroy their truck like WhistlinDiesel does, and then close off with a wrecked, crumpled mess driving off anyway, they would absolutely blow up.
It broke because when it fell it hit the concrete as he said but what he did not mention is that the tongue wight is only 1000 which the tongue weight is the core being pushed up.

Anyone who’s ever spent 5 minutes around pickup trucks knows that the hitches are indestructible and they should be…I’m surprised Cody went this far to prove basement dwelling nerds wrong. It’s common sense.
Also important to note. The F150 is self adjusting when you bend the frame. Well, after you drop a massive concrete block. The Tesla is not and would probably explode if you tried. SCIENCE.
One company has decades of experience building trucks, one doesn't. This video shows the results. Anyone that buys a Cybertruck to use as an actual Truck is brave indeed. At least the F150 lightning has the same body on frame construction using an actual steel frame. Aluminum cracks and shears. This is happening on new Cybertrucks. What happens after years of metal fatigue. This thing is out right dangerous and should be recalled or have their towing decertified. I guess we need to wait for a few deaths first. Other than that, I found this video hilarious.

Cody's out here genuinely saving people's lives and the haters still get mad. Make it make sense man 😂
Geniuses arguing that the reason it broke is because it fell ass first on a concrete block, not realizing they are pointing out the exact problem they're trying to argue against.
The fact the frame snapped in the last video just blows my mind! Stoked to see whatcha got in this one!
The force exceeded the tongue weight capacity of the hitch. By a lot.

@@goodgremlinmedia2757How are you still trying to defend it bruh
@@thegeneral1955 because you're stupid
@@goodgremlinmedia2757 watch the video before making false statements they prove wrong in the video. besides tongue weight deals with the downward pressure a trailer puts on the hitch, when the cyber truck broke it was towing a chain that was not putting any downward pressure on the hitch. The towing weight is more important and in the vid he explains the frame of the truck should have held up to way more than it was exposed to. mind you the towing capacity is 11k lbs and the wright of a Ford F150 is around 4-5k
"sincerely, Cody, CEO of destruction"
Imagine Elon reading that kind letter at the end
the aluminum isnt entirely the problem its the fact that its just held on by the tiniest thinnest extrusions it needs to be solid and significantly thicker to be able to match the strength of steel in that application. i have an aluminum trailer that works just fine but its also thicker and only rated for 10k lbs gross, and it also has a bit of steel to reinforce key areas.
I love how the f-150 made the same exact noise as him laughing when he was driving away from the excavator😂😂😂

This video is literally the definition of “Built Ford Tough”. Ford F series trucks have been hauling trailers for decades. If that steel was able to snap, I’m sure in the many decades the f series truck has been around that problem would’ve been found within the first year. People really have no common sense.
Elon is great, but admit it… for 85k this is CyberJunk. Pulling a load knocks range down to about 100 miles. Charge time. Battery life. Battery replacement $$$$$$. Lack of continental infrastructure to charge a lot of EVs.
Imagine if the guy who invented the ox cart did so before ox… his sole inspiration was to move heavy loads. Well, that is what Elon has done here. Good luck hauling stuff long distances.
My dad is a mechanic who also owns an F150, I showed the video of you braking the Cybertruck's frames and he was surprised that it broke and told my that almost every other pickup truck can hold thier own body wight
These Sweet James advertisements remind me of Saul Goodman and I am absolutely for it. 😅😂
fr 🤣
Ford should definitely reach out to Cody to use thus video in Ford Ads😂
So about the aluminum frame for the Cybertruck… Aluminum frames were originally designed for sports cars, because it is lighter and has more rigidity. For a truck, steel is obviously better. Like Cody said himself, aluminum obviously doesn’t have the strength for a heavy duty truck that is supposed to take punishment. If the Cybertruck was a performance built truck and not for off-road or towing (and if it wasn’t so damn ugly), I may actually consider buying it if I had the money. In my head it sounds awesome, an electric street performance truck.
My man just proved that ford is built by gods

Your comment came up right when that clip hit, lol
I'd pick that F150 over a stupid microwave on wheels
"I still love Elon and think he is really thinking outside of the box"
You might want to reconsider that, especially if the box is attached to the hitch on your cybertruck :)
For those who still don't understand:
Yes, the Tesla hitch did break in the fall.
No, it wasn't supposed to.
I wonder how the Cybertruck would of performed if he only dropped the back of it from 5 feet like he did the F150. 7 ton truck falling vertically 8 feet is different than this test he did from 5 feet and only like 900 pounds falling onto it.

@RicardoAguilar-rh9vl are you acoustic?
This is the hard hitting journalism the world needs
I find it way easier to pick up dudes in my cybertruck
Thank you cody , I’ve encouraged countless idiots who claim it’s because the cyber truck weighs so much more, when a f150 weighs 6200-6800 lbs (quadcab 4x4) and a cyber truck weighs 6600-6800. Then they go on to argue weight distribution when a f150 is 54/46 vs 52/48. Even that drop onto the hitch wasnt much and was no worse than the impact a hitch faces everytime you hit a bump, apply the brakes of gas. Using cast aluminium was a bad choice
Ford:
Trailer goes thru, still works perfectly fine✅️
Gets dropped 20+ times on concrete, still drives without dropping bags for repair✅️
Gets dragged opposite directions, yet it runs a ok✅️
Gets a concrete block dropped on it, tries to pull it off. It's still on and the car still works✅️
Pulls concrete with chain, perfectly fine✅️
Tesla:
Tries to pull a Ford with chain and the frame breaks off, also $12k in repairs❌️
12k for repair except frame!
You don't think the ford truck would cost 12k to repair in it's current state as well? The cybertruck was also still driving in the end even with the frame damage sustained; and you also completely forgot already that the cybertruck was dropped on its hitch and then pulled the Ford even though it was literally just stated in this video. It was not simply pulling the ford that broke the frame...
Like cmon man you can diss on the cybertruck without stating lies, its performance was still laughable even when stating the complete truth...
@@Mika-ph6ku That is obviously not his point, considering the Ford was still driving while the Tesla was not. ❤

Again, I have to say Cody, the content that you and your team create is pure gold on so many levels. It's always hilarious, and informative. There isn't anywhere else in the world, ever, that you can see with your own eyes vehicles, and mechanical equipment of all types being stress tested to their utter breaking point, only to repair it and kill it some more !
Not to mention you are doing my absolute favorite pastime when I was a younger man (don't get me wrong, it still is my favorite leisure activity, but with age comes a lowering of ones tolerance to sudden stops) and I would have killed to have been able to destroy the kind of stuff you do, daily. I was still stress testing every mechanical thing I got my hands on, to failure, but my budget was considerably smaller than yours ! Thanks for all of the great content and keep it coming !
Literally exactly what I was thinking the entire time was " that is a realistic amount of force some people will encounter towing a heavy load and running into a pothole or dip in the road they didn't see" and sure enough it happened lol
It doesn't take much to prove keyboard warriors wrong. 5 seconds of logic and reasoning does the trick, they just cant comprehend it themselves.
I watched a video response to the original cybertruck durability test and the best argument they had was that Cody was just an entertainer and the video had cuts in it. They didn't actually address any of issues.
Dunning-Kruger will hit everyone, atleast one time for each person.
@@salvm4715 No, the best argument they had was that he never dropped the F-150 down 5ft d onto it's hitch and jumped the Cybertruck twice as high off then hill, then fudged the points multiple times, failing to add them when the electric won and failing to subtract when the F-150 failed.
Electrics are whack but being so terrified of them that you have to rig basic "comparisons" is just pa thet ic.
Doesn't take much? Just a 90,000 pound escalator and however much that truck is. But yeah, not much.
The problem is that you end up spending a ton of time and effort correcting them, and then they just fuck off into the ether and don't comment again.
I called Sweet James because I didn’t know he was a real attorney! 😂
If he managed to put up the money for an ad on this channel then he's making some very serious money.
you know, I never believed in "built ford tough" until today, thanks Cody.
sometimes the best science comes from f**king around and finding out. Nice work
it's funny to see people not realize that aluminum will snap with enough force whereas steel will just bend.
Also forget that aluminum degrades in strength over time to the point of a normal load causing failure. You can load steel to its limit over and over and over and over again with no failure.
My brother in christ steel will also snap with enough force applied... No metal is able to completely resist snapping.
Yep. Steel, in tension, will elongate more than Aluminum. Meaning Steel is more elastic. But with in enough stress, Steel will yield and will deform like plastic. Elongating more and more, causing a neck. Where fracture will eventually happen
aluminum doesn't snap, aluminum comes in different strengths and is used on every air plane , machined , the tesla die cast frame will , die casting is used for toys definitely not used for structural components
Make sure you put the word CAST aluminum. Rock bouncer almost all run a 7075 aluminum lower links now because they figured out they can take a hard hit without bending and the steel 2" x .250 wall DOM tube was bending with ease. we have found that even that heavy ass .250 wall tube sleeved with another .188 wall tube would bend, so guys tried solid steel bar stock and it would also bend. So if you look at all the newest Baddest rock bouncers out there today they are all running aluminum links.
3:45 this clip has me positively crying
Fr the ad came out of no where
The Tesla Cybertruck fans have gone quiet after watching this
Ford built tough or ford built rough

The raptor 1 engine - my base in any factory building game when my goal is progression
The raptor 3 engine - my base when ive finished the progression and had time to focus on efficiency
Most of the raptor engineering team quit 2 years ago. Still Raptor continues to be unreliable, so unreliable in fact they have decided to run it at only 70% thrust decreasing starship's payload capacity to LEO from a 100 tons to less than 50. What a amazing progress, they build the largest rocket ever and it still has less mass to orbit (and TLI) than something designed in the 1960s with slide rules.

It was mind blowing how many people were missing the point that the frame was made of soft metal. Literally everywhere I saw clips of that video posted had someone (or dozens of Elon cork sniffers) saying how it would've happened with anything.

MEANWHILE... Tucker Carlson "REVIEWED" this truck, BARELY did anything with it, and gave it a good score..... 🤦♂️ he lives under a rock
My best guess is that he didn't actually want to do anything to damage the truck since he either was probably renting or wanted to resell it afterwards. Tucker don't have the WhistlinDiesel kinda money to just destroy 6 figure trucks for shits and giggles.

Thinking outside the box is one thing. Repeatedly pulling a Boeing-level quality control or design issue is completely different. Running your company like a meme instead of a legitimate company is completely different. Thinking you have the time and energy to be the CEO of 3 completely disparate companies is completely different. Innovation in spite of safety and reliability is completely different. “Move fast and break things” was a famous quote from the man, why did anyone think he'd not actually do that?
Act like Elon is on the assembly line or in the design studio. It’s Tesla’s first truck - calm the hell down.
Elon isn't even thinking outside of the box. He pays a bunch of people that do all the work, then claims it for himself. The cybertruck isn't innovative at all, its just a bunch of "hey the industry figured out these ideas are shit years ago we shouldn't do them anymore" It is a categoric failure in everyway. Which tells you it may have actually been the one idea Elon actually had at tesla since taking over the company and running it into the fucking dirt.
@@ITRIEDEL oh an Elon meatrider.... it's not Tesla's first car, and how many other companies making their first truck ever had this issue?
How did tesla miss this major structural problem during testing? Oh probably because they tested the towing on highways and not on the shitty roads. A lot of us drive on.

He bought a totaled Cyber Truck.
There was a missed opportunity to swing the f150 round in circles with the excavator, was disappointed when you didn’t lol
Excavator arm probably isn't tough enough to withstand that kind of force. Excavator durability test?

This is the beat damn ford commercial I've ever seen. I would watch more ads if they were like this 😂
Anyone who’s ever spent 5 minutes around pickup trucks knows that the hitches are indestructible and they should be…I’m surprised Cody went this far to prove basement dwelling nerds wrong. It’s common sense.
Also important to note. The F150 is self adjusting when you bend the frame. Well, after you drop a massive concrete block. The Tesla is not and would probably explode if you tried. SCIENCE.
Shoulda put it in the blast you got going on in the background with the furukawa drill 😂
One company has decades of experience building trucks, one doesn't. This video shows the results. Anyone that buys a Cybertruck to use as an actual Truck is brave indeed. At least the F150 lightning has the same body on frame construction using an actual steel frame. Aluminum cracks and shears. This is happening on new Cybertrucks. What happens after years of metal fatigue. This thing is out right dangerous and should be recalled or have their towing decertified. I guess we need to wait for a few deaths first. Other than that, I found this video hilarious.
