Tesla Cybertruck Flaws Seen In Torture Test: 'Frame Snaps Off The Back'

• Inside EVs

Let's get this out of the way first: by now, if you haven't seen WhistlinDiesel's YouTube "Durability Test" of the new Tesla Cybertruck, you... certainly can, if you want to. It's certainly not for everyone, and it's so over the top in its brutal treatment of both the Cybertruck and a quad-cab Ford F-150 XLT that it's tough to gain any deeper, more practical understanding of the concept of "build quality" here. 

I mean, the guys strap a pound of C4 onto the tailgates of both trucks. And that's just not likely to happen to you when you're at the grocery store or whatever. 

But at its best, the WhistlinDiesel test apes Jackass in its most hilarious moments (another thing that's not for everyone.) And I'm going out on a limb here to say that the Cybertruck actually acquits itself better than you might think; it takes an absolutely tremendous beating here with high-speed runs up and down a stack of logs, enduring various states of disassembly, taking sledgehammers, launching over a hill Dukes of Hazzard-style, getting its air suspension trashed, having its charging port get blasted with a water pressure machine, and much, much more.
