- mrcwinn 5mo agoThanks, that is absolutely crazy!
- magiclaw 5mo agoJerry has one of the worst cases of TDS (Tesla Derangement Syndrome). In his video he applies 10,000 lbs of downward force directly on the hitch point before it breaks, and then says that it "is far too close to the 11,000 pound towing capacity. Yikes." He's a smart guy, he knows downward pressure at the hitch point (tongue weight) is a much different rating than towing capacity. Tongue weight is usually estimated at 10-15% of towing capacity, so 1100-1650 lbs. The cybertruck clearly exceeded expectations here.
- Robdel12 5mo agoThat’s a lot of text for you to not realize these are the exact lateral forces a hitch faces when towing. One pothole and your payload is causing a pileup
- DonHopkins 5mo agoHe explained why you're wrong in the video that you just proved you did not watch.

- culi 5mo agowhistlindiesel also discovered this. it's honestly terrifying that these are legal to sell as "trucks" and people believe they can safely tow with them. Aluminum will only get weaker over time and is guaranteed to eventually break unlike steel
