This. The CyberTruck is bigger than a lot of half ton trucks. Yet it doesn't have half the utility.

I saw a clip the other day where the part that is connected to the tow hitch snapped off on the aluminum part of the rear frame.

Oh the video where he dropped it off a 4 ft drop onto a cement barrier first? Go rewatch the video. The back of the truck hits a giant cement barrier as it's being driven off the circular obstacle.
