Tesla Cybertruck Tow Hitch Stress Test Results In Catastrophic Failure


“If I see a Cybertruck towing on the freeway, I would not want to be anywhere close to that thing.”

Another YouTuber, Zack Nelson of JerryRigEverything fame, put his own Cybertruck through a slightly more scientific test to see how the hitch fares in extreme conditions. However, as Nelson points out in the video below, there are some situations where even a properly balanced trailer could transfer its whole weight on the tow hitch, such as big potholes at highway speeds. With the whole rear section of the car ripped apart, no fewer than 28 error codes appeared on the central infotainment display and the EV would not move under its own power.
