Wow, that would be wild to see. Where can I see a Cybertruck owner "literally ripping the frame out with the hitch?"
Watch WhistlinDiesel cybertruck video.
What sort of engineering standards are these Cybertrucks built to? Oh, very rigorous engineering standards. The wheels aren't supposed to fall off for a start.
Same standards as e.g. 2026 Audi Q8 e-tron: "Popular electric car recalled due to brake pedal problem" [1] A problem with a "screw connection" (unclear whether this is a mounting screw or it serves some other purpose) can cause the brake pedal to malfunction. or, in 2024 Audi Q4 e-tron, Volkswagen ID.3, ID.4, ID.5 and ID.7: "Dangerous error in popular electric cars: brakes can cease functioning" [2] It says that the…
Patently false headline, paywalled article, and blatantly left leaning source. Loving the state of media in 2026.
Sorry, but every time I read news about the Cybertruck I have to think of the Simpsons Canyonero song: Can you name the truck that's been recalled twelve times, Costs less each month 'cause nobody's buying mine? Cybertruck! Cybertruck! (Whip crack!) Her trim falls off when you drive through rain, The steering locks up on the highway lane! Cybertruck! Cybertruck! Top of the line in utility trucks! Started at a hundred…

The RWD model was only for sale briefly after launch. I don't know why you would ever want a pure RWD electric truck
This has been a question the Slate team has been trying to answer. They claim the weight distribution being more even front-to-back (batteries offsetting motor, I presume), but I don't know whether I believe them. I was interested in a Slate, but the changes at the company lately (new CEO from McKinsey, rather than an engineer), along with decisions like RWD, and the anemic acceleration (0-60 in 8 seconds) gives me p…
(Not digging at you, I feel the same way you do. I just think it’s weird and amazing!)

As opposed to thoughts and prayers-based ABS?
It is an electric car after all
Cheap ass studs, not surprised. Don’t tow with a cybertruck either, you can literally total it by ripping the frame out with the hitch. It’s the most poorly engineered “truck” there is. Can’t tow. Can’t haul (stupid bed design). It’s just a glorified pavement machine.
It is a vanity project helmed by a terminally online manchild who wanted cyberpunk blade runner vibes. Go look back at the original concept art. The actual delivered vehicle dimensions are totally different, so he didn’t even succeed at that part. They couldn’t build what he wanted. It’s way more boxy and looks like shit on the road. And lol at 173 total affected vehicles. What a failure.
