I don’t think anyone would be surprised by these results. In fairness, most trucks would get through this gauntlet without damage. Glued on window trim is pretty sad.

If you dig in under the body panels the cybertruck in clearly not meant for anything but mall duty especially long term. Still a cool truck in that it’s unique and Elon gave us something of a concept vehicle tru to itself with some engineering feats no one else would do. The downside is, it’s more of a toy than a tool, and the body panels look like they were thrown together in somebody’s garage literally.

If they would’ve created something less radical and really beefed up, it’s frame and body whatever, I’m not a truck expert, to make it truly off-road capable as well as keeping the cost reasonable. I think they could’ve sold way more of them.. I don’t know that people would’ve said would buy a super duty cyber truck either most people just want them to look cool and maybe wholesome shit on the weekend and there’s nothing wrong with that.

Cybertruck does good with explosions, carts and some light bullets! And an EGO carrier who wants some protection, not a bad choice.

I’d like to see the new Hummer Evie, which I absolutely love even though it’s probably complete piece of shit go through this gauntlet. How about the Ford lightning?

Best laugh of the morning. But honestly, I don't think most Cybertruck owners will actually be doing a durability test. Given the quality and built in glitches of the vehicle, it may be spending most of the time in the service department.

Mine has had plenty of problems so far and the worst thing ive put it through is running down the “road” to and across my property.

it would absolutely be bad ass if jeeps had the same skin though.

This is bad. Especially the bumper.
I've never watched this channel before and I probably never will again. What a tool, is he trying to be a walking example of everything wrong with online video content?

He doesn't do clickbait, and actually delivers. I think that's a plus.

I feel the same way most times. But I’m just talking about how bad the truck is. It’s pretty bad.

It would be great to do the same test.. except vs a Tacoma, Ranger Raptor, Colorado, etc... idk which one would win or if any of them would.. but at least we’d know.

The 20-30 year old Youtube audience demographic space is where he caters to. It is filled with like creators doing the same shit. It's lizard brain entertainment.

They cast aluminum subframe ripping apart the minute the recovery roped an F150 with it is a significant failure.

Snatching another truck from an obstacle is a normal use of a truck.

Please don't say it's true! That you actually own a piece of shit like that! Or that they share the same garage!

Naw dude. You gotta watch the one where he buys a model matching Komatsu Dozer to the Kill Dozer and then proceeds to tow it through the town that the OG killdozer terrorized. Peak YT right there. He also sets Ferraris on fire and own an M1 Abrams with a functional turret/gun.
