Enjoy some light content for the weekend.
Some car review channels and magazines like to brag about putting a vehicle through a “torture test.” YouTuber WhistlinDiesel sets out to show they’re amateurs, and puts a Cyberturk through a real torture test, starting with backing it off a flatbed without lowering the bed.
Other tests: Driving over large concrete pipes, door slamming, beating on it with tools and rakes and implements of destruction, etc.
To be fair, he tested it against a Ford F-150 for the same tests, which did better on some tests and worse on other. For example, the Ford cracked an axle driving off the truck bed. But the tow hitch for the Cybertruck literally tore off trying to tow the Ford.
Overall, the Ford scored better than the Cybertruck. It turns out that when you abuse the Cybertruck this badly, a whole lot of the electronics go bye-bye. But the Cybertruck was surprisingly resistant to C4…

The guy has a psycho laugh but it was the most honest and complete review I have seen.
“But the tow hitch for the Cybertruck literally tore off trying to tow the Ford.”
Uh no. First he broke the hitch by dropping the rear of the Cybertruck three or four feet down onto concrete step at the end of concrete pipe obstacle. He discovered this when he had to tow the Ford off of the same obstacle the Ford failed to cross. It wasn’t the towing that damaged the hitch. Plenty of other vids of the cyber truck towing all kinds of heavy stuff.
Note to self: Buy Cybertruck, but keep in garage until I need to drive in C4 environment.
