In the video, they did the same to a 2004 Dodge Ram and it would not break at all.
The cybertruck is just built cheaply, it would be fine if it wasn't advertised like it's comparable to an actual vehicle made for towing.
That still really doesn't matter. They're applying an order of magnitude more force in a direction the vehicle wasn't designed to handle. This test doesn't speak to towing capacity.
A 900% safety margin isn't awful. There are so many reasons to hate on Teslas that we don't need to invent fake ones.
It wasn't supposed to be a scientific test. There have been cases of the cybertucks back end being ripped off from towing. We are laughing at it's failure because it's just a showcar that just falls in bits, but advertised as an actual "truck". You should never tow with a car made with cast aluminum frame, it's going to break sooner rather than later. The cybertruck shouldn't even have an option to attach a hitch.
