Cybertruck

[Phenomenally Frantastic]

Holy shit. This is the part of the frame that connects the 11k lbs rated hitch.

If you watch the entire video, not just a dodgy misleading clip and engagement farming headline, you’ll note that prior to towing he damaged the hitch and frame by:

Ramped it at a horrible angle with a hard landing, ran it over logs bottoming it out repeatedly, then drove it off 8 foot concrete tubes with the back end crunching on solid concrete damaging the hitch and frame before he even attempted to do any towing.

Those details don’t make for a good gotcha post in a cybetruck hater forum though.

I mean the idiot drove both the cybertruck and F150 straight off the flatbeds, immediately bricking the F150 to begin the video.

Until it hits a pot hole and the tow hitch breaks from the frame.

yes because this happens when you hit a pot hole?



I posit that any truck sustaining a fall like this with direct pressure on that specific part of the underbody would seriously damage the frame and rip off the bumper.

You think this is a winning argument? I thought this was supposed to be a super off road vehicle?! A Subaru sidekick could survive that.

Ha Ha. 11K is funny.

Sure. Have you?

No one tell @Jerome Silberman about the hay bale toss at solon beef days.

I didn't think you could make that truck any uglier. I guess you can.

There is something hilarious about fan-boying about cutting edge technology with a "photograph" that looks like it was drawn by a 4th grader.

 

[noleclone2]

It’s pretty clear these still were not ready but they rushed to the market due to the growing humiliation of how long it was already taking.

I can’t imagine paying 100k for this.

Yeah, it's too bad as well. Electric vehicles are cool as hell. Cults of personality, not so much.

Idk, think the truck is ok for its target market. Status symbol and to be in on the ground floor of new tech.

So you can pull the trim off with a pry bar?

Is there a dealership lot you couldn’t do the same thing to every vehicle?

This is…. odd.

My truck doesn’t have any “trim” to pull off with your bare hands. There are rubber weather strips on the top to channel water, but those are meant to come out.

Ground floor was the rivian, that’s a nice truck. And it looks like a truck…

True, but the buyer in this case wants to turn some heads. I’m a new adapter .

I see a few of those and a cybertruck or two most days and definitely prefer the look of the Rivian. Both are way to big for me to ever consider buying one.

Anyone else find it strange how defensive people get about Tesla products? Does it lose value if someone doesn't like it, or maybe it dies if people don't believe kind of like Tinkerbell?

 

[HawkNester]

I just bought a Bronco w/ the Sasquatch package and that thing will run circles around the cybertruck in many ways.

If I use this tool can I take the trim off your truck?

Yes, it does lose value if people don't like it.

Any "trim" that is held on w/ just "glue" is coming loose w/in 5 yrs or so.
Thermal cycling and weathering will not treat those trim panels well....

 

[Jerome Silberman]

Yes, it does lose value if people don't like it.

True, but I don't think it's probably as personal or immediate as the Twitter bots seem to take it.

 

[Ferentz_Fan]

That's the genius behind selling Cybertrucks to MAGAs.

MAGAs Don't Read.

Some voters don't watch debates.

Less than 6 months old "on the road" and we're seeing some pretty astonishing failure modes already

No. Feel free to investigate the construction of your vehicle’s A pillar, and see if you can pop the edge, and then peel it back by hand.

He didn't remove the A pillar. That's the what the trim was connected to.

With that huge ass pry bar I could remove all the trim from any car.

This guy used a screwdriver to take the trim off a Honda Element's A pillar.

Obvious takeaway is that Honda makes trash cars, right?
