          oh yeah. check WhistlinDiesel’s video link @

          frame snapped when he tried towing an f series pickup

          in a later video he made sure to beat on the f series, and while the frame did bend, it wasn’t a sudden catastrophic failure

          a quick summary from some website

          The F-150’s steel frame didn’t break, but bent under extreme abuse - unlike the Cybertruck’s catastrophic failure. The Cybertruck’s aluminum frame is unfixable after being torn apart - unlike the F-150 which can be repaired or replaced easily. Despite the haters, WhistlinDiesel’s extreme testing proved the F-150’s durability, while the Cybertruck suffered irreparable damage

            Credit where it’s due, the Cybertruck took an absurd fucking beating before it died, and its clearly quite safe from outside intrusion to a pretty extreme degree. That frame snapping was kinda insane though, I can’t really put into words just how much that shouldn’t be possible.

              And in a later video, he showed a photo and chat with a viewer. They saw someone’s Cyertruck’s frame snap off while hauling a trailer which hit a bump on the highway and sent the pic in.

      This reminds me of the stickers that come on some Walmart-level “mountain bikes.”

      I have an inflatable garden toy - a set of 2 pigs to play a jumbo version of Pass the Pigs. There is a warning on the inflatable toys:

      “This is not an inflatable toy.”

      So I wouldn’t ve surprised if Cyber Truck had some similar warning. “This is not a car. Do not allow it to get wet.”
