Whistlindiesel Cybertruck Durability Test #2

[pookie]

and that wasn’t even the Beast. It was AWD! Beast would smoke F150 in tug of war or head butt, giving CT two extra points, not that I’m counting ?!

The beast has the fuzzy alcantera dash and you can see it several times in the video. He also shows beast launch in first video. It’s a beast.

This video was pretty awesome and entertaining! Oddly enough, it actually makes me want to swap out my Sierra EV for the CT. I can't believe how much abuse the CT has absorbed. I didn't know about Baja mode and the ability to do donuts and drifting, as well as the ability to distribute power manually to front or rear. Also fording the water like that, very impressive! I think this will be favorable for sales.

Baja mode is insanely fun. I did it the take I took delivery. Nuts.

Power wasn't the issue, traction (again) was despite the weight being equal - CT already has like 3x the power of F150, but once the tires start spinning they aren't gripping the pavement. At that point it's really about the technique.

Agreed, you can also deliberately lose these with technique. CT clearly should have had far more points overall but he’s smart to make it lose (clicks/controversy = money) to make more fun videos.

Super entertaining I absolutely love it.

I thought I saw something interesting in the bed of WD's CT and went back to double check I didn't imagine it... here is a screenshot

Does that look like a gooseneck hitch ?

Good eye!

Whistlindiesel demonstrates what i was talking about with the extension cord plugged into the bed outlet and in his case a fully extended sissor lift with someone in it(dummy). and forgetting that it is plugged into something and drive away. if an accident like one he depicted in his outrageous show were to happen to you and your cybertruck. you would want to have a reminder on screen before you move the truck. and it is possible to happen under the current configuration. I drove to the market while dragging an extension cord thankfully it was not plugged into anything on the other end, or that would have been dragged alone with anything in its way also.

There might be a bigger issue: in California Cybertruck is known to cause cancer.

There is already a warning regarding the open outlet cover in the bed. After all it's your trigger discipline that matters the most, and not the number of safeties.

If you want it for the fun of driving get the CyberBeast! Launches are awesome and right now there are only 2 disadvantages (correction 3, price). No rear locking diff and they are still working on software to alleviate this. Range, which will obviously always be a negative.

On the wading he completely screwed the cybertruck as well. There is a wade mode that inflates the battery pack to maintain positive pressure. I believe it lasts 30 minutes (someone correct me if I'm wrong, I've only done it once). This would have probably allowed it to "float" a little better. That was my favorite part.

Could you please share the source? Is it because of the materials used? Is it just Cybertruck or any Tesla?

That was sarcasm. Pretty much everything is known to cause cancer in California But yes, it's about the materials...

It’s not. But petrol fumes do contain carcinogens.

I am a very hands on person, so I get significantly more exposure than an average person, but even by an average person standard...

Operating, servicing and maintaining a passenger vehicle or off-highway motor vehicle can expose you to chemicals including phthalates and lead...

phthalates are contained within plastics. Does your CT have plastics ? Do you ever touch plastics in your CT ? Congratulations, you've been exposed to phthalates.

Do you carry a spare tire ? Ever changed it by the side of the road ? Congratulations, you've been exposed to lead.

Certain components of this vehicle such as airbag modules and seat belt pre-tensioners may contain Perchlorate Material...

Do you ever use seat belts in your CT ? Do you think seat belt webbing can be contaminated with the chemicals inside of the pre-tensioners ? Congratulations, you've been exposed to perchlorates....

So the same thing all vehicles expose you to with just way less breathing in your own exhaust as an ICE vehicle?
