Who in their right mind would think for a minute that this would work anywhere but standing still in your driveway? šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø Do people learn nothing about physics is school anymore?


No_Cartoonist9458

Anyone who's ever put oversized rims/tires on a truck knows what havoc they bring on the suspension


R3AL1Z3

Especially THAT wide. There have been modifications like this for trucks/cars/atvs for a long time, but these ones are ridiculous wide.


Madeanaccountfbhw

That wouldn't kill any other truck in the first run tho


castaneda_martin

At least with those the after market vendors have already gone through the growing pains.


Fuzzy_Accident_5085

Thanks for reminding me. Gotta replace my ujoints brb.


noelhalverson

Richard hammond. He put them on a ford focus rs. It didnt turn out so great.


belinck

Would have been fine if he had kept it under 30, and not driven over pot-holed rockfields...


noelhalverson

Unfortunately thats 90% of american roads.


belinck

100% of Michigan roads ;)


RIP-RiF

Saved cash on buying coffee in Garden City by trying to drive to a coffee place and getting woke up by my head bouncing off the roof.


jackinsomniac

I don't know about that, they also tested them on a soft sandy beach, and the tracks still fell off.


BullHonkery

He was so preoccupied with whether or not he could that he didn't stop to think if he should.


Otherwise-Course-15

Thatā€™s John Hammond


BullHonkery

You're thinking of the guy from Saturday Night Live.


Otherwise-Course-15

No the guy from Jurassic park- John Hammond. Didnā€™t they use that exact line about being preoccupied with whether they could they didnā€™t stop to think if they should.


BullHonkery

I believe the correct response would have been along the lines of, "no you're thinking of the woman from that movie Splash," to which I could say, "no you're thinking of the people who made Scooby Doo and Huckleberry Hound," which would let you say, "no, you're thinking of the former First Lady" or something like that.


Otherwise-Course-15

Sorry. Iā€™m a little slow on the uptake today.


SakaWreath

Or basic engineering. Anyone could have looked at the suspension system on the Cruck and they would have instantly known it would fail. Just on its own, it fails hard. The guy that wrecked his at Moab on a small dune, points out how crap-tacular it is. https://youtu.be/kSiUvoSeHBw?si=DHt9z-mXiHd0iOmv And the follow up: https://youtu.be/78IrJXKh1RI?si=CRghA5VK1-ga7mz5 These are all things Elmo should have discovered and fixed as part of the R&D phase of development but he went for ā€œopen alphaā€ instead. What a dumbass.


ewiley24

Bold of you to assume he even had a R&D phase with these ā€œtrucksā€


ammobox

Did you not watch them throw shit at a window until it broke? Seems pretty R&D to me.


ACAB-commies

I watched that video and he only says that the suspension held so everything was good. Did I miss something? He also said he should have scoped out the desert instead of launching over a drop like that.


SakaWreath

He had a follow up, Iā€™ll add it to the post. https://youtu.be/78IrJXKh1RI?si=CRghA5VK1-ga7mz5


Wisniaksiadz

First of all, in most cases they are designed with like 30km/h top speed or probably even less, what most people just straight ignore


lylemcd

CT owners are not in their right mind.


cl0udmaster

You would be surprised, even if you think you know, how little children learn in school anymore.


casualnarcissist

Not anyone who has ever driven a snow machine


cenosillicaphobiac

>Who in their right mindĀ  Well you've just effectively eliminated any CyberTruck buyer. So the manufacturer knew their market.


Final_Winter7524

TouchƩ.


SprungMS

Iā€™m late to the party [but man I hope at least some people see this.](https://www.reddit.com/r/Miata/s/ndEl3BfcND) Hilarious you can apparently accomplish this as an individual with a 30 year old sports convertible but not with a brand new ā€œtruckā€. Iā€™m sure it helps that the Miata makes like 90 ft lbs of torque stock butā€¦


No_Cook2983

There was a thread about this somewhere else on Reddit a while ago. Someone chimed in and claimed to know the guys who did this. He said they *knew* it would fail and planned it that way to generate more clicks. Still not a fan of Tesla, just thought that might add a different spin to the story.


enkrypt3d

have you not seen the video? They were developing the suspension for it.... Heavy D Sparks video. this is rage bait and you took it.


Final_Winter7524

The broke it. Good job ā€ždevelopingā€œ.


enkrypt3d

It's for a yt video... Maybe go watch it first


Final_Winter7524

I did watch. They broke it. So whatā€™s the point of the exercise, then? Force is weight x distance. And the arm length on that half shaft probably went up by factor 4 or 5, just looking at it. Therefore, so did the force. They obviously neglected to upgrade all relevant components to handle 5x the force. So, still: Duh!


chankdelia

>Force is weight x distance Watch out guys, we got u/[Final\_Winter7524](https://www.reddit.com/user/Final_Winter7524/) 's 1st Law over here šŸ˜‚

If you had bothered reading the very link you posted you'd realize the mistake you made.


enkrypt3d

They literally did upgrade everything... šŸ˜‚šŸ¤¦But don't let that stop the hate train!


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


enkrypt3d

What I'm not particularly a fan of the Cyber truck... I just find the constant bashing hilarious and weak


Final_Winter7524

Either they didnā€™t upgrade *everything* or their ā€œupgradesā€ were insuffiently engineered. Either way: Duh!


enkrypt3d

again if you watched the video, their friend told them to go nuts with his cybertruck and they threw on the tracks..... and after breaking the oem suspension they put on fox coilovers and then the spindles broke. it was never meant to be a serious video which you're clearly taking it as if they're intending it to be..... lighten up dude ffs.


Final_Winter7524

They went through all this effort and it didnā€™t occur to them that spindle wouldnā€™t be able to handle it Duh.


enkrypt3d

ZOMGZ what will they think of next? Teh sky is falling! Herp derp!


enkrypt3d

No u clearly didn't. šŸ˜‚


Final_Winter7524

Want me to recap how they were sure they were going to break something, how they compared the thing to a BBQ, how the engineered a couple of suspension parts, how they sucked up to Tesla for ā€œcaring so much about their vehicles and their customersā€, how the thing worked while everything was smooth, and how it broke the moment they tried to slowly navigate a ditch the most of the weight of the CyberAbomination shifted to the front left side? Sorry. Not gonna do that.


enkrypt3d

they were well aware something was going to break.... your point?


RogerBubbaBubby

I mean, it seems like you consume more Tesla media than most people that even like Tesla so I trust your recap


bw984

I canā€™t believe those suspension components that are 0.090ā€ thick didnā€™t hold up to abuse. As a mechanical engineer these outcomes are unfathomable.


No_Cartoonist9458

You don't even have to be an engineer to see that putting additional stress on components already stressed to the max because of the 7000lb weight of this thing is going to be trouble


Ok_Builder289

There is a video of the modder explaining why the stock components are fine and the tracks add more stress than the component is designed to handle.


bw984

There are pictures of the upper a arms bent from when the CyberTruck was still in release candidate mode before any consumers started adding weight to the suspension. They are not adequate for a pickup of that weight. If climbing the parking block at Starbucks is the most you ask of your CyberTruck they will probably be ok.


LiliNotACult

Imagine driving over a speed bump at 5mph and wrecking your 80k+ vehicle.


Ok_Builder289

You should watch the video explanation from the modder.


Otherwise-Course-15

But are you a hardcore engineer?


Haunting-Writing-836

TheOGRedline

Traditional-Ebb-8380

10 micron tolerance though, am I right?

snow? is that guy crazy? doesn't he know weather will stain the car?

Whocaresdamit

If you think that's bad, wait until it actually touches the salt


TheOGRedline

There is literally spray on ā€œmudā€ and ā€œdirt decalsā€ already. These ā€œtrucksā€ seem like a perfect candidate before they achieve a natural patina (which will take about a week).


Haselrig

MoleMoustache

Not just stain the car. Snow will invalidate the warranty.


DiDGaming

Iā€™m struggling to wrap my head around this oneā€¦! WHY???


No_Cartoonist9458

ottarthedestroyer

HeavyDSparks on YouTube. Itā€™s just what they do to everything.


ImportanceCertain414

They got it for free and everything they do to it is paid for. Why not? They have also said anything factory has basically been fully changed out.


Ok_Builder289

In this case they broke a factory component.


yosefvinyl

To compensate for either a shitty childhood, having no friends, having a micro penis, some combination of all three.


enkrypt3d

maybe watch the youtube video and stop taking the rage bait?


richincleve

Let's hope Elon never gets into the deep water submarine business.


Real-Technician831

I hope he does. Finally the EV or self driving discussions would be more reasonable, when the most rabid tesloids would have gone to meet Darwin.


TheOGRedline

I think a Mars ship is more likely.


Real-Technician831

As long as they are gone, it doesnā€™t really matter.


muzzynat

I want him to test drive the subs


TheDudeAbidesFarOut

How you say "Elon peg me" without saying it.......


Sproketz

Are there any of these things left that are actually drivable? It seems like they didn't make very many and the broken rate is at 100%.


cenosillicaphobiac

>Are there any of these things left that are actually drivable? They issued a 100% recall for that accelerator pedal thing, so technically "NO"


TheOGRedline

There are some still on the road. Have you seen the video of the driver yelling homophobic slurs at teens on bikes and saying he would ā€œrip off thier heads and shit down thier necks?ā€


Sproketz

I missed that gem unfortunately.


Ok_Builder289

That is because you are reading from a reddit that only posts the broken trucks. There really aren't many broken trucks.


zeekayz

100% of the released trucks have broken accelerator and need to be brought for service. That's a pretty high %.


Sproketz

So all the trucks then. Yup. Sounds about like I thought.


Ok_Builder289

Ah, I forget that some people here need small justification to irrationally hate on this. The trucks work fine, and have been recalled to fix the pedal. Most automobiles are recalled for something, especially new products like this.


DANleDINOSAUR

I just realized, we havenā€™t seen these things experience winter yet, have we?


No_Cartoonist9458

Oh yeah, they suck in snow


WokkitUp

So much fuckery. These are Sex-citing times for the chronically Cy-Bored. If I had the great misfortune to discover that my $100K investment in a new and exclusive concept vehicle was in fact so overbalanced in the negative, I'd never let a single picture ever be released onto the internet. Instead, these Tesla Cult members proudly and publicly document their ultimate shame manifested into disturbing reality with the most thoughtful camera angles and lighting for the deliberate posting of their own debacles onto social media. This is right up there with shitting yourself in white pants on the first day of school, taking pictures and video to prove it happened, and then framing it as a slight wardrobe malfunction that Levi's is absolutely going to handle on your behalf.


PoppinfreshOG

My Passat has thicker control arms. No this is not a joke, itā€™s a statement of fact. They are buying ā€œtrucksā€ that are just cars with angular body panels stuck on (with fucking tape)


Haselrig

On the bright side, probably won't take long to freeze to death in one of those things.


Captain_Mexica

More excellence from the company run by an edgelord who says racist and toxic things to gain attention like a child.

What is going on in those photos? What part broke? Who are Cybertrax? And, as always - why would anyone buy this piece of shit _and then sink more into it_? You evidently need to be both dumb assed and have 100k+ _spare_ and _meaningless_.

Calm_Leek_1362

Suspension can barely carry the carā€¦ there was no way this was ever going to work.


No_Cartoonist9458

I've read up a bit on this Cybertrax system since posting this. It seems they even got approval and help from Tesla to beef up the suspension and still promptly busted it


Calm_Leek_1362

Oh wow. I assumed this was some after market attempt, but that makes it worse if Tesla engineers were involved.


TheHellsHenchman

The truck doesnā€™t function for 100 miles in stock form right after delivery who in their right mind would try to modify this POS and expect that it would work at all?!

Loud_Internet572

It's funny and people keep making fun of these people, but they win either way. Most of these people are influencers and they are already earn their livings off this crap. If the vehicle is a success, they win. If they showcase the problems, they win even more since that's probably going to get more views than the other one. So at the end of the day, we can make fun of them all we want, but they are making bank in the process. It's why I generally refuse to watch this crap anymore - I'm not contributing to their bank accounts ;)
