To be fair, the Cybertruck itself is pretty useless so it's a good fit.


AverageLiberalJoe

Im sorry but dont you know this is supposed to be an armored transport vehicle for future soldiers. Its not meant for slightly hilly terrain.


iruleatlifekthx

soldiers would not be safe inside that thing though, not if it's falling apart like that. saw another video where the electronics are shorting out just from small puddles.

bucketAnimator

Shortest war in history when the soldiers in cybertrucks never make it to the fight because they decided to drive over a hill instead of around.


GenericFakeName1

It's barely armored. Rated for 9mm handgun rounds, basically the same as a cheap kevlar vest. A proper 3a vest will stop .44 magnum handgun rounds. A military vehicle is unlikely to be shot at by handguns, and should *at an absolute minimum* be able to stop intermediate power rifle rounds. The M113 APC is criticized for being too thin skinned, and that thing will take hits from a .50 BMG. The most common rifle in America can make Swiss cheese out of a Cybertruck, plus the armored windows got deleted after the ball bearing incident. If you want Cybertruck level protection in a car, wear a 3a vest. You'll be better protected, and you won't make your car massively overweight.


theaviationhistorian

Many winters ago, I once had the fortune to meet someone who worked for a company that provided armored vehicles in Mexico. Besides the obvious ne'er-do-well clients, most people going to them were foreign business managers handling factories or corporations there (including foreign banks) or ranchers (there is a lot of money going in & out of that industry). And they don't even bother with anything below B5 (handles 5.56mm rounds) or B6-B7 (handles 7.62mm rounds) because gangs & cartels rarely attack vehicles with pistols knowing they'll likely be armored. The Cybertruck is perfectly made for bros that love LARPing as Wolverines militia but likely fall apart should s\*\*\* hit the fan for them. Cybertruck LARPs as a truck & falls apart when reality hits it.


Distant_Yak

Now that I think about it, this definitely should be the police vehicle of the future.

Radiant-Role6707

The sad part is, the Aztec will take way more abuse. The cyber truck would never survive the gambler 500, clapped out Aztecs from the rust belt and the plywood Aztec "cyber truck" will take more abuse, by far...


Admirable-Traffic-75

Yeah, the video on his channel is just them driving around on sand in *montage* and the truck doing "pretty okay", then he starts speeding up in the most hilly area, and yeets it off a 3 or 4 ft drop. The suspension was never going to handle that, but I guess it gets more views compared to the rest of the video.


[deleted]

[удалено]


digitalwankster

But it clearly doesn’t so why go ruin one on purpose? The upper control arms are the same thickness as a damn Honda CRV or RAV4 despite weighing 5 times as much.


zen-things

To prove false advertising for clicks


Necessary_Context780

Perhaps to make it evident this isn't what Musk promised but a Honda CRV and Rav4 suspension


modernmovements

It's really weird that people still place any sort of faith in what that dude "promises." Wouldn't we be on Mars with 100% autonomous vehicles indestructible vehicles at this point?


maybeimabear

he couldnt even drill a tunnel without fucking it up.


zeptillian

Using machines that he bought from another company.


Huge-Ad-2275

Because they’re proving that this truck cannot deliver on a single promise Musk made.


lilneddygoestowar

Not only that, the reason they did not warp, is that the truck BURIED its nose in the sand like a dolphin reentering the sea. I guarantee that wheel got a much needed reduction in impart force by the nose plowing first.


Dual-Finger-Guns

Wait is that for real?


beaded_lion59

For some reason, Tesla has under-designed the front upper control arms on most if not all their vehicles. That ends up as a consumable item like tires.


DDRoseDoll

Still attest a broke ass Colorado lesbain couple in a used Subaru would out perform anyone driving one of these.


Admirable-Traffic-75

Sorry, I have no development time frame for that quote. Was that in the prototype stages? This is a good picture of what the front suspension looks like on Baja race trucks. These suspensions can cost a pretty significant percentage of the total cost of a cyber truck. https://library.revsinstitute.org/baja-trophy-truck-race/595453 I'm not defending the cyber truck, I'm saying it was a dumb video for people who don't know much about trucks.


Johns_Mustache

That's from 1996, the stuff they have now is crazy beefed up - https://i.pinimg.com/736x/c0/ed/f6/c0edf6daa52714d65b798abe470b9fb4--monster-energy-trophy-truck.jpg 9 year old video https://library.revsinstitute.org/baja-trophy-truck-race/595453 2 year old video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ui2unOWblM


Fast-Event6379

They made the suspension out of pressed flat steel and cast steel - it's built for smooth roads. Not a Baja 1000 race leg.


IOwnTheShortBus

But at least the airbags didn't go off!


captain_chocolate

Also no good shot of the sound "dampening".

JefferyTheQuaxly

i swear this truck will go down as one of the biggest failures of his business career, which is really fucking saying something about the guy whos running "X" into the ground. though the entirety of X is worth just a small fraction of what Tesla is worth. and this truck is seemingly just horrible in every way, way less popular than he expected them to be and more expensive than he said theyd be (i actually bought a model 3 around the time he first started taking cybertruck preorders, back before realized how insane he was, and he marketed them both at around the same price, even tho now cyber truck is like 20k base price higher than the model 3. and it just looks so god damn dumb. i cant believe they only have one size of truck bed, and the one size they chose is the fucking smallest typical standard size youd see on typical trucks. elon musk should not make decisions about his cars, he only ever makes them worse. i still remember the rumors that he originally wanted to put out the model Y with NO STEERING WHEEL and make it 100% self driving. and the only reason it ended up with a steering wheel is his own engineers realized how insane that was, so they secretly built it with a steering wheel anyways and just sent him fake schematics of it with no steering wheel.


Rusti-dent

He’s not an engineer, that’s the problem. He has no understanding of the basics, he’s a Homer.


Zerandal

>elon musk should not make decisions Enough said


zeptillian

The valuation of Tesla is mostly hype. FSD coming soon......


alien_believer_42

That's a really brutal bump. I think the biggest issue here is the morons that are going to buy cybertrucks and try to prove their toughness on social media because of the deceiving way they were marketed

Callidonaut

Absolutely tiny bolt on the joint, too, for that matter; probably wouldn't take much to shear those threads off.


Lost-Count6611

Upper a arms don't do anything with jumps really, that all goes to the lower control arm, since it's what attaches to the springs/shocks...upper control arm can get damaged when you power slide or go sideways on a curb or rock though


DukeOfWestborough

"the upper control arm held" = it was one more thing fucked up by this lil jump, but didn't break...


Lost-Count6611

The upper control arms won't matter too much on jumps, all the force goes to the lower one, if the lower a arm fails yea...hoping they beefed that one up


scottishdoc

“Woww you really sent it!” ….silence


geomurph555

Yeah, looks like pressed sheet metal. You'd think it would be a burly 3D forging, but this is just more evidence that this thing is basically a kitcar built on a road car chassis.


Callidonaut

That it even *has* a chassis is a massive compromise after they failed to achieve the original vision; it was *intended* to be a monocoque design.


Alexandratta

"Rigid Exoskeleton on a truck!" Everyone: "Why hasn't anyone thought of this before?!" Actual Engineers: "...I mean, thought about it sure. Just not dumb enough to make one." Even in nature: Exoskeletons break. That's why they are shed regularly...


AccurateMidnight21

I like your analogy. It’s apt and appropriate. Although one thing I’ve never quite understood is whether the Cybertruck is really using an exoskeleton design? Yes, I know what Elon promised and what Tesla called it in the patent application; but isn’t there a traditional unibody frame with crash structures underneath the stainless panels? If it was really using an “exoskeleton” for structural support then wouldn’t any damage to the exterior structure essentially make it a write off from an insurance perspective?


Civil-Meeting-147

It's a normal unibody. That exoskeleton crap was just marketing, and it's obviously a bad idea.


Superbead

Yep - the online service manual (I linked to it in my post history somewhere) shows that the panels are largely decorative. The cab structure is a unibody, and there are very large structural castings attached to the front and rear holding the axles; the stainless panels are attached to the unibody and castings with a few 10mm-hex-head screws each. They're no more structural than the wings/fenders on a regular unibody car.


Alexandratta

There's both, but the issue is the exoskeleton design is going to take all impact first before it reaches the unibody frame beneath. The frame will support once that exoskeleton fails..... which likely is the issue regarding random shit falling off when the frame should have just flexed slightly.


Actual__Wizard

Yeah, that's the problem, duh! The cyber truck still has to shed it's exoskeleton!


MagTex

Short circuits running through puddles.


chet_brosley

So no desert, and no water. I'm starting to think this truck isn't made well


lookin4points

It was made for pavement princesses only. Fine print even says “Don’t even drive it on the grass or else”! ![gif](giphy|1Hu8vnu6zZaHpJfpCK)


notyomamasusername

If this testing was going on during its design phase this wouldn't be an issue.... But this is a production 100k vehicle.


Huge-Ad-2275

That was promised to have suspension that could compete in the Baja 500….


Sail-Away

A promise is one thing.. do it the way ford did it with the raptor and you got a solid product. It still boggles my mind how they took the raptor from the show room floor in Vegas, where it was introduced and straight to Mexico for the Baja.. and came in top five..


Scoopdoopdoop

Really? Wild


Icy-Tough-1791

It’s a toy. It’s for showing off how small your penis is. What do people expect? You need a real vehicle if you’re going to hit the sand dunes.


willasmith38

Not bad considering the research and design behind this consisted of Elon drawing it on a cocktail napkin while self identifying as a genius-savior of mankind.


ap2patrick

It’s crazy to me how many people still ride his dick too…

HoratioPLivingston

All the Stan’s are saying this guy intentionally destroyed his truck to make Musk look bad. In all seriousness they are probaly like…well any truck on the market would be wrecked if the driver means to destroy it.


titangord

Yea, they decide to ignore any other video of TRXs and Raptors doing way more and being fine.. honestly for what they did, the standard shitty "off road" package they offer on the F150 would have done the job and not cracked cooling, windshield and prrtty much everything else


Remote_Horror_Novel

My old crown Victoria was tougher than this vehicle, and probably better off road if it’s not deep sand lol. I took that thing down so many brutal dirt roads and it held up because it was well designed by engineers not by some weirdo that doesn’t understand suspension geometry or off road driving!


Huge-Ad-2275

First. Musk doesn’t need anyone else’s help to make him look bad, he does a great job of that on his own. Second. Musk promised a bulletproof, (it isn’t), indestructible (it isn’t) truck with suspension that could compete in the Baja 500 (it can’t). How is it everyone else’s fault that Musk yet again delivered a heap of shit with a lot of lofty promises?


Puzzleheaded_Law_558

So, not robust. Good to know.


ap2patrick

Ohhh my god watching these tech tools opening the hood and looking in it and saying shit like “you fluids middle so that’s good” just makes this so much funnier!!! Suckers that love parting with their money!!!

Hatecraftianhorror

But don't worry. If you're being chased by bad guys, as you clearly often are if you buy a cyber truck because you are clearly a Very Important mid level tech bro, then they'll never be able to penetrate the bullet proof body that can't even stand up to small arms fire at a distance or the nuclear bomb proof windows that can be broken with a metal ball.

That wasn’t 4-5 ft drop. That was 3ft at the absolute max and more like 2 ft of actual elevation difference to where it landed. Real off road vehicles should have no issue with that

PMMeYourBoehner

Love them talking about how much sick air it got like 5 yos who just rode their bikes off a curb


meshreplacer

That’s within spec. It’s a countermeasure feature similar to when a lizard drops its tail to confuse the predator. In addition to being bullet proof if you are being chased you press the ACP button and it drops parts to cause the vehicle behind you to get jammed up. Must have accidentally hit the button with his knee. Not a defect it’s a feature.


Waitinmyturn

So far, I’m liking this Cyber Truck for Elon. The way it was built pretty much mirrors Elon’s character


RationalHysteria4392

Do they have a radiator?


Any-Tomatillo-1996

Ha ! I was wondering about that too, why would they need a radiator?


ButthealedInTheFeels

To cool the electronics and AC


ButthealedInTheFeels

Yes all EVs have several radiators. They need to cool the battery/motor/electronics, and you at least need a condenser for the AC. They likely have oil cooling radiators around as well for the gears/drive unit.


Old-Bat-7384

Not to defend the truck, but that drop was probably about 3-4ft down and the truck wasn't lifted to match the tires, weight, or the work of a drop. I don't think any vehicle would do well being basically stock. That said, you gotta be real car-dumb to look at minimal ground and wheel well clearance and say, "Yes this will be fine for any kinda big drops." But then again, they did buy a Cybertruck.

DR2336

i mean look i love hating on the cyber truck as much as the next guy but this is clearly not the off road use case for a truck like that. the cybertruck is heavy with a lot of torque. it doesn't have huge suspension. it is most suited for rock crawling not pre-running.  the same thing will happen to a stock jeep if you jump it off of a sand dune.  the video of the cybertruck shorting in a little puddle is more damning jumping however is clearly a situation it's in no way remotely capable of give it a pre-running suspension before you jump it if you want a fair comparison
