Are you considering towing with the innovative Tesla Cybertruck? Think again! A recent catastrophic failure test conducted by automotive enthusiasts has revealed some alarming findings that could have huge implications for Cybertruck owners. In a video titled 'SHOULD YOU TOW WITH A CYBERTRUCK?! - (catastrophic failure test),' the team behind WhistlinDiesel set out to test the limits of the Cybertruck's aluminum frame when it comes to towing heavy loads.

Before diving into the action, the video provides some background on the Cybertruck's construction, highlighting the use of Tesla's impressive Giga Press, a 9,000-ton aluminum injection molding machine for creating the truck frames. However, concerns arise when it comes to the durability of the Cybertruck hitch, which is connected to the cast aluminum frame. Previous incidents of hitch failures during towing have raised questions about the truck's towing capabilities.

The team sets up a test involving a 50,000-pound excavator and the Cybertruck to see when the hitch would fail under extreme load. With cameras rolling and a crane scale in place to measure the pressure, they start applying weight to the hitch. As the load increases, the team observes the truck's response with anticipation and trepidation.

At around 10,000 pounds of pressure, disaster strikes. The hitch breaks off from the frame, showcasing a catastrophic failure that could have serious consequences if experienced while towing. The video captures the intense moment when the team realizes the severity of the damage, emphasizing the potential risks of using the Cybertruck for heavy towing purposes.

The aftermath of the test reveals the extent of the damage, with the cast aluminum frame showing signs of breaking apart where the hitch was attached. Speculation arises about the use of glue in the construction, adding more questions to the structural integrity of the truck.

In conclusion, the video serves as a cautionary tale for those considering using the Cybertruck for towing activities. The test results highlight the limitations of the aluminum frame under extreme loads and raise concerns about the safety and reliability of the hitch system. As the team uncovers the aftermath of the catastrophic failure, it becomes clear that towing with the Cybertruck may not be as straightforward or secure as initially thought.

For those intrigued by the Cybertruck and its capabilities, this eye-opening video provides valuable insights into the potential risks associated with towing heavy loads. Awareness of the limitations and vulnerabilities of the Cybertruck's construction is essential for making informed decisions when it comes to utilizing this innovative yet fragile vehicle for towing purposes
