What’s that they say about the definition of insanity? Something about towing with a Cybertruck, probably.

Here’s a video to watch for a laugh, a Cybertruck towing over light snow… with predictable results.

As the truck loses traction, the trailer jackknifes like it just remembered it had somewhere to be, slams into the back of the Cybertruck, and then nails a tree for good measure. The best part? The driver shouting, with perfect comedic timing, “NOT AGAIN!”

Couldn’t watch this one but I saw one using an excavator to test the tongue weight of a CT, basically measuring the pressure while pushing on the (steel) tow hitch until it completely broke and exposed a lot of glue.

Hitch broke at almost exactly the official Tesla number

Odd fact about the cyber truck, it reacts to damage like anything aluminum, you can never repair the damage that time and driving will do. You can never make a crumpled piece of aluminium foil flat and shiny and smooth again.

New wrinkle in the “buying a car is buying an immediately and rapidly depreciating asset” category

That's not true. You absolutely can make folded aluminum flat again. You just have to melt it down. Which seems to be the solution people are taking to cyber trucks.
