@@TailosiveEVnah bud, he dropped a new video. You should watch. I think what everybody is saying at this point, aluminum is not a good or safe material to attach a tow hitch to.
@@TailosiveEV $900 driveshaft vs the Cybertruck being totalled and had it been driving down a highway your trailer has now come off and hit oncoming traffic and killed a family.
Update: he dropped the f150 a lot of times on cement blocks ON THE HITCH and it only bent the frame. Then he dropped the cement blocks in the hitch and the frame went back to normal, it never came out.
The cybertruck is a joke. Its a vehicle that noone actually needs. Its able to do things that dont need to be done but cant handle shit that needs to be done everyday. Another thing is that if a normal truck is broken it can be fixed, you can pinpoint what broke and replace it. You cant do it with the cybertruck
So it's normal for the entire truck to land on the hitch? I I mean normal steel wouldn't snap yea but I don't think they thought about this happening lmfao
It's not that the test is legitimate as a statement on the CT, it's that an aluminum frame for the towing hitch is ridiculous. Steel bends, aluminum breaks. It's as simple as that. Feel free to assume that everyone will keep their CTs in pristine condition and definitely investigate any damage that occurs. That's the key point. Aluminum should never have been the material choice for that part of the video. They covered the entire thing in extremely heavy stainless steel sheets, and then put aluminum as the single point of failure for the trailer hitch; all for vanity.
It’s not for vanity it’s to lighten the frame and extend range. The aluminum is tested and engineered to have the same or the same required strength as any other metal. The reason the hitch snapped off is because it was literally slammed on a concrete block from 10 feet above the ground.
The door panels cam off on the cyber truck which is a critical issue that they have to look into on all models but what ppl aren't mentioning the glass breaking on every door slam on the f1-50 (but its true that it is not marketed the same, as the cybertruck is supposedly incredibly durable)

@@user-mc6dg6qe8l I didn't miss it, but I am missing your point. A chain is only as strong as it's weakest link. I could see myself frantically slamming the door behind me in an apocalypse scenario way before me being worried about C4. Not that an apocalypse is going to happen. That's just how the truck has been marketed to the nerds.
The only think in his video that got to me was when he pulled the top panels (above the windows) off by hand, only held on with glue. I wonder if those panels will give out eventually due to the glue degradation over the years.
He had to start it off with a tool so panel bond should hold up well under normal conditions. Adhesive has been used reliably for years now and can match the strength of welds in certain applications. However, I can't guess on the grade of glue Tesla used so time will tell.
We have no idea if he removed them, repasted them, the pulled them off. That part bothered me the most as well....well that and slamming the door destroying the door. But who knows given the video is just entertainment.
@@ettcha what are you smoking? No glue will ever match the strength of any proper weld. Welding isn't a matter of adhesive it is turning two pieces of metal into one.
@@user-oh4fp7gc6w Smoking? lol, you missed the perfect chance to say I was huffing glue 😂 But seriously, read the comment again and let it percolate for a bit. I didn't say adhesives had blanket superiority. I just said it worked just as well as welds in certain applications.
Watch Whistlindiesel's new video where he slams the rear end of the F-150 in the same way except he does it many more times. After you're done take this video down and stop making excuses. Slamming the rear end also happens frequently while offroading. A truck that can't handle that is a POS.
I’ve said it a thousand times. The cybertruck is a novelty vehicle, a parody of the pickup truck not meant to be taken seriously. And his video and durability test proved that and put on display not just how bad Tesla is at making cars, but how bad overall build quality is and how little these manufacturers actually care about their customers. From cracking frames to door panels falling off to having to connect your vehicle to the internet to charge it.
@@TailosiveEV that’s due to ground clearance. Add a $2k dollar lift to the ford and it makes it up there, and you’re still going to be $40k cheaper than the cybertruck
So this entire video is based off the assumption the drop was what broke the back and I don’t doubt that but it still did not have any type of frame in the back where the receiver is. And car manufacturers don’t sell cars and expect every experience to be the same. It is there job to prepare the car for the unexpected as much as possible.
@@user-mc6dg6qe8l seeing as those are just sitting out in the open, they are pipes. they very well could be used in the construction of a culvert, but a culvert does not have to contain a pipe.
I agree that the "Testing" was insane, most people don't have to worry about this. However, a steel frame would never crack and snap off like that, at most it would bend. Seems to me that there is a good reason why some manufacturers opt for an aluminum body on a steel frame. So, my thoughts are that, is this likely? No... but I sure would've guessed that one the parts that takes the most stress would be hardened steel, not aluminum.
Steel is several times less ductile than aluminum so the opposite is actually true in this case. That’s one of the reasons they chose aluminum at that specific part in the first place. Along with other concerns like weight and resistance to the elements. In the future they’ll probably make that part out of magnesium due to its superior strength per pound of material and excellent dampening capabilities. Alloys are even being developed to increase corrosion resistance several fold. Which means you’ll have a stronger lighter part that’s more resistant to wear and tear that’s more ductile cheaper.
@@user-mc6dg6qe8l I know i'm replying fairly late into this, but dude... no one's making a frame out of magnesium. They used to use magnesium for a lot of car parts in Formula 1, and while an accident in a cybertruck alone wouldn't make it easy to ignite, when they do, it's an inferno. The frame will be subject to friction and vibration more than most other parts of the car, and if you have an accident where an ICE car catches on fire, or the battery is pierced, you will have an uncontrollable and very intense fire. It's also 4 times the cost of steel. Steel is used so widely because you can do practically ANYTHING to it, even extreme stress, and it will not shear off. Aluminium absolutely will. It makes zero sense to make the body panels out of steel and the frame aluminium - it should be the other way round.
The rear coming off is a big problem as they advertise it as an off-road vehicle and if you had ever looked at any hardcore off-roading / rock crawling videos you would have seen slapping the ass end like that is not unusual. As for tractor/truck pulls they don't apply tongue weight they apply more weight to the skid.
The door panels cam off on the cyber truck which is a critical issue that they have to look into on all models but what ppl aren't mentioning the glass breaking on every door slam on the f1-50 (but its true that it is not marketed the same, as the cybertruck is supposedly incredibly durable)
Toyota Hilux survived 3 tests, the Cybertruck couldn't even survive the first video doing piss easy shit 😆And I'm sure Toyota was quite happy with those videos! Also remember that Cody slammed the door of the Cybertruck once and it failed, he slammed the Toyota Hilux door 1000x, he can do this because the Toyota Hilux wasn't made out of lego
Obviously. It was way out of what most people would do with a cybertruck. That being said I have an old 90's unibody jeep grand cherokee I take rock crawling I have landed the full weight of my vehicle on my bumper..more times then i would like to admit and I have yanked alot of people out even after that. I DO think that rear subframe still needs reinforcing.
Tbh I off-road and that tesla should not be having structural damage from that. The amount of times I have bashed my bumper coming off stuff and my truck is still fine. Body on frame construction is all you should be doing for a truck.
Bro, the reason nobody has had toe hitch issues is because 99.9 percent of people with cybertrucks have never towed anything and that .1 percent are people who did it once just to say they did.
@@TheJLMDT The forces weren’t the same. The F150 didn’t drop off a small cliff onto its hitch; it got stuck well before reaching the cliff. While it experienced similar pulling forces, it wasn’t the same scenario. The Cybertruck dropped from over 6 feet, with its entire weight of over 6,000 pounds impacting the hitch. But it’s not just the static weight. As the truck was moving forward before it fell, it gained both forward and downward momentum. This means the actual force on the hitch was much greater than the truck’s weight due to the combination of gravitational acceleration and its initial forward speed. This impact far exceeded the Cybertruck’s rated tongue load of 1,100 pounds, likely reaching many times over the rating. The Ford should have a similar hitch rating given its comparable tow rating, but these forces were far beyond normal operating conditions.
@@giovannifoulmouth7205 if you were involved in such a crash with Cybertruck you might welcome a brand new one, but it's also not at all impossible to fix, that part can be replaced, and insurance companies are starting to wrap their heads around Gigacast parts, my local 3rd party Tesla repair shop was explaining the process and what he charges, he said one company allowed him to order one recently for a Model Y or Model X (it wasn't clear which one he was pointing at, rear of Freemont MY is cast, front and rear of the 4680 MY, and front of MX/MS), so maybe we'll see this start to take off for cars still appraising/booking high
@@KaceyGreen For perspective, my rough calculations assuming a weight of 6000lbs, fall distance of 5.5 ft, and 3 inches of body deformation, suggest a peak force of 236 thousand pounds.
To be fair, the F-150 was undrivable literally right after being driven off the flatbed and had to be fixed so it could drive again, whereas the cyber truck didn't become undrivable until going through most of the tests. Also, I'm guessing the rear of the frame got cracked at 5 minute 25 seconds in the video, which is why it subsequently got pulled off. And finally, how come they didn't smash up the F-150 at the end with baseball bats and other stuff like you did the Cybertruck? The Cybertrucks side windows took multiple throws of heavy metal weights at them without breaking, whereas the f-150s windows would have shattered immediately 😂
Yes, but the f150 could be fixed by them. Once the CT broke, it was completely out of commission. They couldn't even take it to tesla to get it driving again. But with the f150 was fixable once it couldn't be driven, it just needed a new driveshaft. Is that ideal? No. But at least the f150 could be fixed. The CT, you're basically stuck at the mercy of tesla's repair team in most cases.
@@user-rm7kb3il6x I'd be curious to know what it was exactly that actually rendered the Cybertruck undrivable- was it truly undrivable at that point, or was it that so many safety systems were triggered all at once, that the truck was shutting itself down for safety? 🤔
@@user-rm7kb3il6x You can actually use Tesla's software to remove all the errors. My bet is if they did that they would of been able to drive it... but they're kind um... in the kindest way possible: Not Smart. Also the Cybertruck went through HELL in comp because it actually completed the obstacles that would damage it and also went into orbit for the jump while the f150 kinda just jumped over a dog I guess?
being a retired navy machinist mate i have seen people do things beyond capability of material/ the amount of shock loads they did on parts of the truck.. each one would be considered an accident. By my opinion they did at least 4 accidents on the truck before they pulled at a bad angle and did a final shock load on the bumper. Aluminum is only so hard. If i had better physical knowledge I would be able to do rough calculations on the stress and shear loads they did to the vehicle after any crash there is damage to things you do not expect. and then expecting the tonto cover to work after 4+ accidents the the vehicle. I have been off road before and every trip of extreme off reading required bringing out the welder to put something back on.. or towing beyond the limits of the tow straps or bumpers or whatever... basically something will break.
Weird "response video" where you just spend 13 minutes defending the frame snapping. Yeah, obviously he abused the hell out of it and that's why it broke. What was the point of this video aside from pandering? Like, you aren't "responding" to anything else that happened, or like doing a play by play analysis of anything. You're just crying about his video making it look bad???
So a couple issues here. 1.this isn’t a horizontal pulling issue as much as a shock loading vertical issue. Yeah at a tractor pull nothing broke because they were on something somewhat smooth and never jolted. BUT get some actual tongue weight going on a more rough road you have the conditions to cause the break. 2. Just proven in the last video. The ford was dropped in its tow hitch multiple times. The frame did bend like I expected. But never snapped. Frames are engineered in such a way (for trucks) that you would experience a rigging failure before a frame failure in the situations that were in the video.
If you look at how thin the aluminum casting is on that bumper it will be a matter of time before people will snap them off. If you rewatch the video all they were doing was pulling that f-150 off of those cylinders and they stepped on the brake and the bumper snapped off. People do that stuff all the time pulling vehicles out of mud holes and stuff. The frame is fragile for an 11,000 lbs tow rating. The reason the f-150 wasn't able to make it over the concrete cylinders is because the wheel spacing is the same as the low spots meaning the front and rear tires hit the low spots at the same time, the cybertruck apparently has just enough wheel spacing so when the front tires were in the low spot as the rear tires were on the high spot and visa versa. Even if the frame was cracked from coming down on the concrete cylinders, that would NOT have happened with a steel-framed truck.
Nonsense, the wheelbase of an F-150 crew cab is practically identical. Having less ground clearance means a lower breakover angle, hence the F-150 getting stuck on the culverts. What part of the frame being damaged after the entire weight of the vehicle slammed on it from a 4ft vertical drop do you not understand? It didn't break pulling the F-150, it broke before that. A steel frame truck would have still bent the frame rendering it structurally compromised, the end result in practice is no different.
@@boostav That f-150 is a supercrew with the 6.5ft bed and according the ford website it has a wheelbase of 157.2in. The cybertruck has a 143in wheelbase that's a 14in difference. So depending the spacing of the concrete cylinders that would make a difference.
@@737mechanic Upon closer inspection it does look like it's a 6.5ft bed, my bad. I thought he'd be intelligent enough to pick the appropriate trim. Still a F-150 crew cab would have worse breakover angle due to the lower ground clearance.
@@boostavsteel frame trucks have been getting abused where they drop all the weight onto there frames. Even if the frames bend, they don’t snap off later.
The Cybertruck's front and rear end are manufactured that way and made from 6000 series aluminum. According to official recommendations, frame straightening isn't allowed. "Pulling or pushing the body structure can damage the integrity of the component," says Tesla in its structural repair guidelines. bottom line: aluminum has no ductile strength.
Who the hell makes a frame out of cast aluminum anyway yeah the driveshaft broke on the F150 but that’s a $550 part at a junkyard literally easy to replace on the other hand. The frame to the whole cyber truck is destroyed from pulling out the f150 that’s what you get for making cars at a cheap materials. The frame should be made out of steel, not cast anything. I don’t know who thought that was a good idea but at least on the F150, you don’t have to total the truck when the frame is damaged on any type of vehicle especially if it snaps in half Tesla stuff is cheap
Guess you're gonna have to roll back this video after whistling diesel's last video. Seems like you were one of the small brain people in his comments 😂
Yeah. It was totally disingenuous to suggest that pulling the Ford broke the frame. It is clear that wasn't what broke the frame. He needs to be held accountable because he said in his video that he was trying to be as fair as possible. If that were true, he should have lifted the Ford 6' off the ground and slammed the hitch into a concrete block. It may not have been as bad as the CT, but it would have at least been fair. It probably would have still bent the frame, which a bent frame is still a useless frame. Steel bends, aluminum breaks. Either way, the frame is toast.
I say this as someone who really wanted the cybertruck, until I seen whistling diesel review it. Everything he did with the cybertruck, my truck could have done and still drive, and tow just fine. (Excluding the explosives, the glass.) It's body is strong, so is the glass, and motors. But it is not meant to do truck things. And you can tell by his video.
@hoocom2506 I seriously doubt that. The Ford couldn't even make it off the delivery truck. I say this as someone who never wanted a CT, and still don't.
I can absolutely see your point about the rear hitch and I was very impressed with several of the tests Diesel put the Cyber Truck through. Where I was surprised is the low quality in which many of the pieces were put together on the truck. From the window trim to the mirrors to the door panels all coming off like it was held on with cheap glue. I felt like the Ford had better quality over all as far as holding together during the beatings both trucks received. I still think the Cyber Truck won over all though.
The rear broke because the hitch hit the logs when backing up. It’s why he cut it out of his video. Then the fall off the sewer pipes loaded a compromised rear, cracking it the rest of the way. Then when pulling it, the shock cracked what was left.
You’re correct. It exceeded shear from reinforced concrete pipe testing (and drop to a concrete block) before the subsequent tow load snapped the frame
There are men who've pulled actual train engines or aircraft. As you said, towing weight on wheels isn't really a problem, it's stopping it that matters.
the F-150 became inoperative as soon as it came off the trailer! It was taken to a workshop to change a very expensive part (outside the video, of course) so that the video could be completed. And it was even said that it could cross the country
Not true. The F 150 only broke it's driveshaft which they said cost them less than $1000 to replace. Now I don't know if that's the real cost but let's be serious, it's just a driveshaft, it's cheap and readily available and relatively easy to change.
You do not watch Whistlin Diesel for informational purposes. You watch the channel for entertainment. Their audience loves destruction. They needlessly wreck all kinds of things. So what they did to the Cybertruck was just to get clicks and nothing more.
@@alexfloyd4903 the tow bar sustained a roughly calculated 240 thousand pounds of impact force when the entire weight of the cybertruck was dropped onto it from nearly 6 feet in the air
It is interesting to see a review of his new video where he destroyed f150 BUT nothing happened... If Tesla collapsed due to a small height, then it is sad ( But the car is not bad
Every point of failure discovered and published to social media is likely being at least looked at by people within Tesla. This will only help improve the design, materials and manufacturing.
As someone whose both hard dropped onto a hitch/bumper and pulled out vehicles at some point afterward, I was surprised as well. This actually happens to long wheelbase vehicles off-roading. Cody has done all this with other vehicles, especially backing off the trailer/flatbed. Those vehicles suffered far less than the CT. It's not unique treatment. What people don't realize is that if a vehicle impresses him, he'll say it. He bought a bunch of hiluxes after his first one handled his destruction so well. The CT hasn't and he's still speak pretty positively, actually, which is what surprised me more. Marketers made some bold claims and even mild reviewers have exposed them. There shouldn't be much surprise... it's not a rugged vehicle.
Long wheelbase vehicles off roading don't jump from 4ft high and land on the tow hitch vertically, they scrape/bang it. There's a huge difference, none of his tests show this same scenario. The Cybertruck had no problems backing off the flatbed, it's the F-150 that broke doing that.
@@boostav Close up of the footage reflects most of the drop hits the rear tires and a much smaller drop is what cracks the frames. I have done similar drops all the time with suvs and trucks . Steel bends and can easily be rewelded . Aluminum isn't ideal for the frame of a truck
@@sanisidrocr You're wrong, both hits are on the hitch. No you haven't, stop bs'ing, you have not dropped your truck 4ft vertically on the tow hitch while off roading, you'd have a bent frame. What you did was scrape and/or bang the tow hitch on a rock.
@@boostav He just said that a steel frame would bend tho 🙈 But no, most people wouldn't drop their truck 4ft. However, what about 50 drops from 1ft? Or just repeated scrapes/bangs, over a longer time with off-roading. I'm pretty sure that could have given the same result as a single 4ft drop..
Let alone using a chain to pull the F150 and shock loading the damaged frame. Probably would have been fine if they used a recovery rope. You can see the frame break when the chain gets some slack then snaps tight when the F150's tires get hung up on the concrete pipe.
If you watch the intro of WD's video, you will see the drop without the same cut used later in the video :) *I've watched it several times at 0.25 speed, and it seems pretty clear that it was only the palstic part of the bumper, and not the frame that hits the last concrete section.
I loved the Whistlin clip, nothing that Tesla will not improve. The concrete block is something that only a person who wants to take the vehicle to complete failure would do.
@@mitchsfarm The CT has gotten an update for locking differentials. It is actually extremely capable rock crawling now: czcams.com/video/P295keaIK-8/video.html
what i find funny is despite it having a damaged frame in the back bumper it still pulled the f150 out, like it succeeded in the pull out. damaged sure. a 45 mph rear-ender ruined on of my truck hitches, im sure that fall ruined theirs. ive also tore off my hitch by pulling in an odd angle.
Ford and GM are recalling vehicles with bad transmissions and motors. A windshield wiper motor and a accelerator pedal cover falling off are not in the same league. Tesla mentioned gate driver. Has me thinking the manufacturer aka supplier used the wrong value resistor for current limiting to the gate. A sub 1 cent part. Took 1000s of trucks in the wild to find it. "Tesla estimates that only about 2% of the affected vehicles actually have the defective wiper motor"
An accelerator pedal falling off or potentially failing so that the vehicle is stuck in an accelerator on position is probably one of the more serious recalls.
The tongue weight on the hitch is 1100 lbs. this jerk dropped over a huge cement pipe and landed the entire truck weight on a large wooden tie with only the hitch. The truck weighs 6000 lbs. the tongue weight was grossly exceeded.
I thought it was weird how they didn't give it points for protecting them from the red state "civil unrest" fantasy, which the F-150 didn't even do, and then nitpicked on the weak trim. Seems like the first thing is what you'd care about more.
I was rear ended by someone going 35 or more directly to my trailer hitch and have not had any damage to the frame and just had to beat the hitch out and replace it i have since done truck pulls, and rowing through Tennessee and have had no issues with my hitch so one baby bump like this should not have caused enough damage to have had this happen and rip the hitch from the frame
Whistin Diesel is a troll, that's his channel, he takes vehicles that are 'nice things'/sacred cows and breaks them. He's done this to the Hilux, G Wagon, a Ferrari F8 (burned to the ground in a hay field) and a Chieftain (main battle tank) among others, the Cybertruck was always going to get decimated. Complaining about the frame breaking was a cheap shot because it was clear they dropped the tail of the truck onto the concrete, but it did take the explosives like a champ.
Thank you bro. I’m glad I saw this. How I say, having a honest and common sense understanding that the Cybertruck video was entertaining at best. A complete unrealistic use/abuse of any motor vehicle. Carries no real value
Yes the point of the video was to destroy both trucks. The Test are not meant to be fair or reasonable, but maximum abuse test to find failure points. These were supposed to be the pretest before they were destroyed, both trucks failed miserably.
The ford failed immediately after driving off the truck. It also took front end damage. As far as I can tell, the cybertruck took no damage, but is essentially overlooked

We have no idea if he removed them, repasted them, the pulled them off. That part bothered me the most as well....well that and slamming the door destroying the door. But who knows given the video is just entertainment.
What about the double washer and duct tape find. These are all unbecoming of a 100k vehicle. Not cool.
@@ettcha what are you smoking? No glue will ever match the strength of any proper weld. Welding isn't a matter of adhesive it is turning two pieces of metal into one.
@@user-oh4fp7gc6w Smoking? lol, you missed the perfect chance to say I was huffing glue 😂
But seriously, read the comment again and let it percolate for a bit. I didn't say adhesives had blanket superiority. I just said it worked just as well as welds in certain applications.
I can’t name one single innovation exclusive to the cyber truck
It has the ability to drop your trailer without warning to reduce weight and increase efficiency, that's a pretty neat feature!
Yes it has, the buyer needs a frequent tow truck service 😂
I think that it is less fuel efficient than the average car despite being fully electric is an innovation
Watch Whistlindiesel's new video where he slams the rear end of the F-150 in the same way except he does it many more times. After you're done take this video down and stop making excuses. Slamming the rear end also happens frequently while offroading. A truck that can't handle that is a POS.
I love how people ignore that the bolts holding the hitch on are unrated
Yeah....you need to watch his new video.
I’ve said it a thousand times. The cybertruck is a novelty vehicle, a parody of the pickup truck not meant to be taken seriously. And his video and durability test proved that and put on display not just how bad Tesla is at making cars, but how bad overall build quality is and how little these manufacturers actually care about their customers. From cracking frames to door panels falling off to having to connect your vehicle to the internet to charge it.
What do you think about him testing the ford even harder and not having the frame shear off
He didn’t. Ford didn’t make it over the pipes

@@TailosiveEV that’s due to ground clearance. Add a $2k dollar lift to the ford and it makes it up there, and you’re still going to be $40k cheaper than the cybertruck
So this entire video is based off the assumption the drop was what broke the back and I don’t doubt that but it still did not have any type of frame in the back where the receiver is.

I agree that the "Testing" was insane, most people don't have to worry about this. However, a steel frame would never crack and snap off like that, at most it would bend.
Seems to me that there is a good reason why some manufacturers opt for an aluminum body on a steel frame. So, my thoughts are that, is this likely? No... but I sure would've guessed that one the parts that takes the most stress would be hardened steel, not aluminum.
Steel is several times less ductile than aluminum so the opposite is actually true in this case. That’s one of the reasons they chose aluminum at that specific part in the first place. Along with other concerns like weight and resistance to the elements. In the future they’ll probably make that part out of magnesium due to its superior strength per pound of material and excellent dampening capabilities. Alloys are even being developed to increase corrosion resistance several fold. Which means you’ll have a stronger lighter part that’s more resistant to wear and tear that’s more ductile cheaper.
@@user-mc6dg6qe8l I know i'm replying fairly late into this, but dude... no one's making a frame out of magnesium. They used to use magnesium for a lot of car parts in Formula 1, and while an accident in a cybertruck alone wouldn't make it easy to ignite, when they do, it's an inferno. The frame will be subject to friction and vibration more than most other parts of the car, and if you have an accident where an ICE car catches on fire, or the battery is pierced, you will have an uncontrollable and very intense fire.
It's also 4 times the cost of steel. Steel is used so widely because you can do practically ANYTHING to it, even extreme stress, and it will not shear off. Aluminium absolutely will. It makes zero sense to make the body panels out of steel and the frame aluminium - it should be the other way round.
Youre cooked, watch the new video😂
The rear coming off is a big problem as they advertise it as an off-road vehicle and if you had ever looked at any hardcore off-roading / rock crawling videos you would have seen slapping the ass end like that is not unusual.
As for tractor/truck pulls they don't apply tongue weight they apply more weight to the skid.
Man, I can’t believe a CZcamsr like Whistlin’ Diesel makes so much money that he can just totally destroy all these expensive vehicles.
Tax writeoff his channel is a business if you use it in the video you can write it off
Yeah you are right. What about when he slams the doors ? Thanks for your answers.
The door panels cam off on the cyber truck which is a critical issue that they have to look into on all models but what ppl aren't mentioning the glass breaking on every door slam on the f1-50 (but its true that it is not marketed the same, as the cybertruck is supposedly incredibly durable)
Hey when Whistling Diesel tested a Toyota Hilux I’d didn’t survive the last test. Dropping it from 500 feet from a helicopter. Toyota was pissed.
Don't quit your day job...
Toyota Hilux survived 3 tests, the Cybertruck couldn't even survive the first video doing piss easy shit 😆And I'm sure Toyota was quite happy with those videos!
Also remember that Cody slammed the door of the Cybertruck once and it failed, he slammed the Toyota Hilux door 1000x, he can do this because the Toyota Hilux wasn't made out of lego

Oh no. You're wrong. Whoops
Obviously. It was way out of what most people would do with a cybertruck. That being said I have an old 90's unibody jeep grand cherokee I take rock crawling I have landed the full weight of my vehicle on my bumper..more times then i would like to admit and I have yanked alot of people out even after that. I DO think that rear subframe still needs reinforcing.
**This aged poorly**
Tbh I off-road and that tesla should not be having structural damage from that. The amount of times I have bashed my bumper coming off stuff and my truck is still fine. Body on frame construction is all you should be doing for a truck.
electric vehicles fucking suck laughing my ass off
Bro, the reason nobody has had toe hitch issues is because 99.9 percent of people with cybertrucks have never towed anything and that .1 percent are people who did it once just to say they did.
Is the design on the cybertruck rear bumper / frame weak?
No
Is it more prone to breaking under high stress than the Ford bumper/frame?
Absolutely
Why do so few people point out the braking of the F150 during that event?
Why do so few people acknowledge that the same forces were exerted on the F150 tow hitch and it didn't break?
@@TheJLMDT The forces weren’t the same. The F150 didn’t drop off a small cliff onto its hitch; it got stuck well before reaching the cliff. While it experienced similar pulling forces, it wasn’t the same scenario. The Cybertruck dropped from over 6 feet, with its entire weight of over 6,000 pounds impacting the hitch.
But it’s not just the static weight. As the truck was moving forward before it fell, it gained both forward and downward momentum. This means the actual force on the hitch was much greater than the truck’s weight due to the combination of gravitational acceleration and its initial forward speed. This impact far exceeded the Cybertruck’s rated tongue load of 1,100 pounds, likely reaching many times over the rating. The Ford should have a similar hitch rating given its comparable tow rating, but these forces were far beyond normal operating conditions.
Probably bc of how easy and cheap it is to fix a Ford compared to the CT which is nearly impossible to fix.
@@giovannifoulmouth7205 if you were involved in such a crash with Cybertruck you might welcome a brand new one, but it's also not at all impossible to fix, that part can be replaced, and insurance companies are starting to wrap their heads around Gigacast parts, my local 3rd party Tesla repair shop was explaining the process and what he charges, he said one company allowed him to order one recently for a Model Y or Model X (it wasn't clear which one he was pointing at, rear of Freemont MY is cast, front and rear of the 4680 MY, and front of MX/MS), so maybe we'll see this start to take off for cars still appraising/booking high
@@KaceyGreen For perspective, my rough calculations assuming a weight of 6000lbs, fall distance of 5.5 ft, and 3 inches of body deformation, suggest a peak force of 236 thousand pounds.
Aged like milk in the Arizona desert
To be fair, the F-150 was undrivable literally right after being driven off the flatbed and had to be fixed so it could drive again, whereas the cyber truck didn't become undrivable until going through most of the tests. Also, I'm guessing the rear of the frame got cracked at 5 minute 25 seconds in the video, which is why it subsequently got pulled off. And finally, how come they didn't smash up the F-150 at the end with baseball bats and other stuff like you did the Cybertruck? The Cybertrucks side windows took multiple throws of heavy metal weights at them without breaking, whereas the f-150s windows would have shattered immediately 😂
Yes, but the f150 could be fixed by them.
Once the CT broke, it was completely out of commission. They couldn't even take it to tesla to get it driving again. But with the f150 was fixable once it couldn't be driven, it just needed a new driveshaft.
Is that ideal? No. But at least the f150 could be fixed. The CT, you're basically stuck at the mercy of tesla's repair team in most cases.
He broke the f150 windows closing it there was no need to test it further
@@user-rm7kb3il6x I'd be curious to know what it was exactly that actually rendered the Cybertruck undrivable- was it truly undrivable at that point, or was it that so many safety systems were triggered all at once, that the truck was shutting itself down for safety? 🤔
@@user-rm7kb3il6x You can actually use Tesla's software to remove all the errors. My bet is if they did that they would of been able to drive it... but they're kind um... in the kindest way possible: Not Smart. Also the Cybertruck went through HELL in comp because it actually completed the obstacles that would damage it and also went into orbit for the jump while the f150 kinda just jumped over a dog I guess?
900$ driveshaft to fix f150 Vs literally undriveable
This aged poorly
being a retired navy machinist mate i have seen people do things beyond capability of material/ the amount of shock loads they did on parts of the truck.. each one would be considered an accident. By my opinion they did at least 4 accidents on the truck before they pulled at a bad angle and did a final shock load on the bumper. Aluminum is only so hard. If i had better physical knowledge I would be able to do rough calculations on the stress and shear loads they did to the vehicle
after any crash there is damage to things you do not expect. and then expecting the tonto cover to work after 4+ accidents the the vehicle.
I have been off road before and every trip of extreme off reading required bringing out the welder to put something back on.. or towing beyond the limits of the tow straps or bumpers or whatever... basically something will break.
Honestly they were using the wrong kind of tow strap. You never tow a vehicle free with a chain. That's asking for a serious accident
@@LMYS5697 You've never been far from the internet eh?
Go to a tow truck, see how many "tow" straps they have.
@@mitchsfarm There will always be situations where you don't have the strap of choice
Others use the usual rope or chain.
Weird "response video" where you just spend 13 minutes defending the frame snapping. Yeah, obviously he abused the hell out of it and that's why it broke. What was the point of this video aside from pandering? Like, you aren't "responding" to anything else that happened, or like doing a play by play analysis of anything. You're just crying about his video making it look bad???
Take a breath man its not that serious.
So a couple issues here. 1.this isn’t a horizontal pulling issue as much as a shock loading vertical issue. Yeah at a tractor pull nothing broke because they were on something somewhat smooth and never jolted. BUT get some actual tongue weight going on a more rough road you have the conditions to cause the break. 2. Just proven in the last video. The ford was dropped in its tow hitch multiple times. The frame did bend like I expected. But never snapped. Frames are engineered in such a way (for trucks) that you would experience a rigging failure before a frame failure in the situations that were in the video.
If you look at how thin the aluminum casting is on that bumper it will be a matter of time before people will snap them off. If you rewatch the video all they were doing was pulling that f-150 off of those cylinders and they stepped on the brake and the bumper snapped off. People do that stuff all the time pulling vehicles out of mud holes and stuff. The frame is fragile for an 11,000 lbs tow rating.
The reason the f-150 wasn't able to make it over the concrete cylinders is because the wheel spacing is the same as the low spots meaning the front and rear tires hit the low spots at the same time, the cybertruck apparently has just enough wheel spacing so when the front tires were in the low spot as the rear tires were on the high spot and visa versa.
Even if the frame was cracked from coming down on the concrete cylinders, that would NOT have happened with a steel-framed truck.
Nonsense, the wheelbase of an F-150 crew cab is practically identical. Having less ground clearance means a lower breakover angle, hence the F-150 getting stuck on the culverts. What part of the frame being damaged after the entire weight of the vehicle slammed on it from a 4ft vertical drop do you not understand? It didn't break pulling the F-150, it broke before that. A steel frame truck would have still bent the frame rendering it structurally compromised, the end result in practice is no different.
@@boostav That f-150 is a supercrew with the 6.5ft bed and according the ford website it has a wheelbase of 157.2in.
The cybertruck has a 143in wheelbase that's a 14in difference. So depending the spacing of the concrete cylinders that would make a difference.
@@737mechanic Upon closer inspection it does look like it's a 6.5ft bed, my bad. I thought he'd be intelligent enough to pick the appropriate trim. Still a F-150 crew cab would have worse breakover angle due to the lower ground clearance.
@@boostavsteel frame trucks have been getting abused where they drop all the weight onto there frames. Even if the frames bend, they don’t snap off later.
@@damonclemons9547 A bent frame is a structurally compromised vehicle, the net result is the same.
Wow 😂 this aged like bad wine
Most people that buy the cybertruck wont be doing any truck things with it anyway its also really ugly 😂
So, no response video after Cody proved the little known fact that steel frames don't snap in half like aluminum frames?
The Cybertruck's front and rear end are manufactured that way and made from 6000 series aluminum. According to official recommendations, frame straightening isn't allowed. "Pulling or pushing the body structure can damage the integrity of the component," says Tesla in its structural repair guidelines. bottom line: aluminum has no ductile strength.
Who the hell makes a frame out of cast aluminum anyway yeah the driveshaft broke on the F150 but that’s a $550 part at a junkyard literally easy to replace on the other hand. The frame to the whole cyber truck is destroyed from pulling out the f150 that’s what you get for making cars at a cheap materials. The frame should be made out of steel, not cast anything. I don’t know who thought that was a good idea but at least on the F150, you don’t have to total the truck when the frame is damaged on any type of vehicle especially if it snaps in half Tesla stuff is cheap
Guess you're gonna have to roll back this video after whistling diesel's last video.
Seems like you were one of the small brain people in his comments 😂
Yeah. It was totally disingenuous to suggest that pulling the Ford broke the frame. It is clear that wasn't what broke the frame. He needs to be held accountable because he said in his video that he was trying to be as fair as possible. If that were true, he should have lifted the Ford 6' off the ground and slammed the hitch into a concrete block. It may not have been as bad as the CT, but it would have at least been fair. It probably would have still bent the frame, which a bent frame is still a useless frame. Steel bends, aluminum breaks. Either way, the frame is toast.
I say this as someone who really wanted the cybertruck, until I seen whistling diesel review it.
Everything he did with the cybertruck, my truck could have done and still drive, and tow just fine.
(Excluding the explosives, the glass.)
It's body is strong, so is the glass, and motors. But it is not meant to do truck things. And you can tell by his video.
What truck do you drive?
@hoocom2506 I seriously doubt that. The Ford couldn't even make it off the delivery truck. I say this as someone who never wanted a CT, and still don't.
@@mattmcc7930 The drive shaft ya. But that's not how the CT hitch broke.
@@TailosiveEV I drive a 2006 dodge ram. And it's honestly a great truck.
I can absolutely see your point about the rear hitch and I was very impressed with several of the tests Diesel put the Cyber Truck through. Where I was surprised is the low quality in which many of the pieces were put together on the truck. From the window trim to the mirrors to the door panels all coming off like it was held on with cheap glue. I felt like the Ford had better quality over all as far as holding together during the beatings both trucks received. I still think the Cyber Truck won over all though.
Gotta get underside protection if you rock climb a cybertruck which very few ppl will do anyway
Actually already has double skirt protection for the battery pack as standard
The rear broke because the hitch hit the logs when backing up. It’s why he cut it out of his video. Then the fall off the sewer pipes loaded a compromised rear, cracking it the rest of the way.
Then when pulling it, the shock cracked what was left.
You’re correct. It exceeded shear from reinforced concrete pipe testing (and drop to a concrete block) before the subsequent tow load snapped the frame
Twas also a crappy frame still sucks
Baby Tesla fanboy is crying
There are men who've pulled actual train engines or aircraft. As you said, towing weight on wheels isn't really a problem, it's stopping it that matters.
the F-150 became inoperative as soon as it came off the trailer! It was taken to a workshop to change a very expensive part (outside the video, of course) so that the video could be completed. And it was even said that it could cross the country
Fair point. Counterpoint: the parts were available.
Not true. The F 150 only broke it's driveshaft which they said cost them less than $1000 to replace. Now I don't know if that's the real cost but let's be serious, it's just a driveshaft, it's cheap and readily available and relatively easy to change.
The car broke on first minute. FUD

Wow so wrong
Every point of failure discovered and published to social media is likely being at least looked at by people within Tesla. This will only help improve the design, materials and manufacturing.
Generally those things get addressed before a vehicle ships...
@@daves7809 They specially should have known this because they used an aluminum cast.
Given the nature of the tests, if you can call them that, I was super impressed.
As someone whose both hard dropped onto a hitch/bumper and pulled out vehicles at some point afterward, I was surprised as well. This actually happens to long wheelbase vehicles off-roading.
Cody has done all this with other vehicles, especially backing off the trailer/flatbed. Those vehicles suffered far less than the CT. It's not unique treatment.
What people don't realize is that if a vehicle impresses him, he'll say it. He bought a bunch of hiluxes after his first one handled his destruction so well. The CT hasn't and he's still speak pretty positively, actually, which is what surprised me more. Marketers made some bold claims and even mild reviewers have exposed them. There shouldn't be much surprise... it's not a rugged vehicle.
Long wheelbase vehicles off roading don't jump from 4ft high and land on the tow hitch vertically, they scrape/bang it. There's a huge difference, none of his tests show this same scenario. The Cybertruck had no problems backing off the flatbed, it's the F-150 that broke doing that.
@@boostav Close up of the footage reflects most of the drop hits the rear tires and a much smaller drop is what cracks the frames. I have done similar drops all the time with suvs and trucks . Steel bends and can easily be rewelded . Aluminum isn't ideal for the frame of a truck
@@sanisidrocr You're wrong, both hits are on the hitch. No you haven't, stop bs'ing, you have not dropped your truck 4ft vertically on the tow hitch while off roading, you'd have a bent frame. What you did was scrape and/or bang the tow hitch on a rock.
@@boostav He just said that a steel frame would bend tho 🙈 But no, most people wouldn't drop their truck 4ft. However, what about 50 drops from 1ft? Or just repeated scrapes/bangs, over a longer time with off-roading. I'm pretty sure that could have given the same result as a single 4ft drop..
Let alone using a chain to pull the F150 and shock loading the damaged frame. Probably would have been fine if they used a recovery rope. You can see the frame break when the chain gets some slack then snaps tight when the F150's tires get hung up on the concrete pipe.
There is a video of a guy bragging he towed 14,000 pounds with tesla truck he is to stupid not realizing its the stopping that matters not the pulling
Obviously this goof ball is on the Tesla payroll
Yes, that’s why I said Elon should leave the company and complain about their insurance and service 😂
If you watch the intro of WD's video, you will see the drop without the same cut used later in the video :) *I've watched it several times at 0.25 speed, and it seems pretty clear that it was only the palstic part of the bumper, and not the frame that hits the last concrete section.
I loved the Whistlin clip, nothing that Tesla will not improve. The concrete block is something that only a person who wants to take the vehicle to complete failure would do.
You must have never been off a highway or been rock crawling before.

what i find funny is despite it having a damaged frame in the back bumper it still pulled the f150 out, like it succeeded in the pull out. damaged sure. a 45 mph rear-ender ruined on of my truck hitches, im sure that fall ruined theirs. ive also tore off my hitch by pulling in an odd angle.
Ford and GM are recalling vehicles with bad transmissions and motors. A windshield wiper motor and a accelerator pedal cover falling off are not in the same league. Tesla mentioned gate driver. Has me thinking the manufacturer aka supplier used the wrong value resistor for current limiting to the gate. A sub 1 cent part. Took 1000s of trucks in the wild to find it.
"Tesla estimates that only about 2% of the affected vehicles actually have the defective wiper motor"
the real problem is the Cybertruck is destroying 3/4ton ICE trucks at the tractor pulls on the sled 😂
An accelerator pedal falling off or potentially failing so that the vehicle is stuck in an accelerator on position is probably one of the more serious recalls.
The tongue weight on the hitch is 1100 lbs. this jerk dropped over a huge cement pipe and landed the entire truck weight on a large wooden tie with only the hitch. The truck weighs 6000 lbs. the tongue weight was grossly exceeded.
not to mention how many shock loads did they do on the hitch before it broke.
"If people were towing with their Cybertruck"
the response we never asked for nor we wanted
I thought it was weird how they didn't give it points for protecting them from the red state "civil unrest" fantasy, which the F-150 didn't even do, and then nitpicked on the weak trim. Seems like the first thing is what you'd care about more.
Id recommend you watch the latest video from whistlindiesel. It seems steel frames dont snap after a little bump on the hitch.
I was rear ended by someone going 35 or more directly to my trailer hitch and have not had any damage to the frame and just had to beat the hitch out and replace it i have since done truck pulls, and rowing through Tennessee and have had no issues with my hitch so one baby bump like this should not have caused enough damage to have had this happen and rip the hitch from the frame
Whistin Diesel is a troll, that's his channel, he takes vehicles that are 'nice things'/sacred cows and breaks them. He's done this to the Hilux, G Wagon, a Ferrari F8 (burned to the ground in a hay field) and a Chieftain (main battle tank) among others, the Cybertruck was always going to get decimated. Complaining about the frame breaking was a cheap shot because it was clear they dropped the tail of the truck onto the concrete, but it did take the explosives like a champ.
Bc it’s funny
When you go wheeling you do land on your bump at times the surface area of the cast is very tiny compared to a flexible steel bracket
Thank you bro. I’m glad I saw this. How I say, having a honest and common sense understanding that the Cybertruck video was entertaining at best. A complete unrealistic use/abuse of any motor vehicle. Carries no real value
Paraphrasing: 'Bro wtf are you talking about, aluminum is just as strong as steel. Stop being an EV hater you troll.'
Cybertruck frame needs some milk
Yes the point of the video was to destroy both trucks. The Test are not meant to be fair or reasonable, but maximum abuse test to find failure points. These were supposed to be the pretest before they were destroyed, both trucks failed miserably.
The ford failed immediately after driving off the truck. It also took front end damage. As far as I can tell, the cybertruck took no damage, but is essentially overlooked
I love how everyone is defending a peice of steel shit
That's the point.. they're real word tests most of us wish we could do if the vehicle and money don't matter. the 90s Hilux stood up to his testing.
