Tesla Cybertruck Punches a Hole on the Frame After Running Over a Very Large Pothole – $34,000 & 4 Months to Fix, but Owner Says “This is the Most Amazing Truck Ever”

He alleges he was extremely aggressive with the truck before implying the pothole was just the last straw.

It's the absolutely UGLIEST truck ever produced....PERIOD!!!! SO MANY issues being discovered. F-150 OUT CLIMBS IT doesn't explode in flames when it does a water crossing, rust when exposed to magnetic forces, locks you inside due to Teslas electric door locks, there is a reason Tesla vehicles have the HIGHEST FATALITY RATE OF ANY MANUFACTURERS!!! Keep spending your $ on them. It will eventually weed out the gene pool of imbeciles

I think he said a pothole was involved but the poster acknowledged he wasn’t disclosing the full extent to avoid any negative response from insurer. The fact that he’s happy with the truck still makes me feel like some amount of operator error or shenanigans was involved.

Either my f150 is tougher. Or this man is taking great liberty with the usage of "pothole"

It's a cult. Some of these Tesla fans will pay anything and put up with anything. They champion Elon Musk even when he lies. They seem to think if they own a Tesla and have an X account, it will put them on Musk's shortlist to populate his fantasy Mars colony.

I'm shocked to see how brainwashed these cybertruck owners are.

Mark me, I like Tesla and their cars and the X SUV.

But the truck looked like a disaster the moment it was announced coupled with the horrible depreciation in less than a year and high repair cost, I can't simply think why anyone would want one unless they have something to prove to others.

You just can't ever fix stupid. That's a fact.!

The construction of this truck and the rest of the tesla vehicles is inferior. It's bad doe the environment being that they did not develop a viable plan for the disposal of the burnt out battery cells when they get replaced instead of shipping them out of country and dumping them into places destroying the eco system. The fact that you have to ship your vehicles out of state instead of having repair locations locally is foul. You have to be without your car for months at a time and the fact it cannot stand something simple like a pothole without being subjected to catastrophic damage is another of several reasons why not to get any tesla.

This guy might be right! This incident could've been an utter fluke, seeing that the Mighty Cybertruck took all his "tough" handling without a lick of wear and tear, until that fateful morning, a pothole -- a very large one, indeed, though not quite so large as to consider driving around it -- caused such a perfect storm of bad bad bad luck that his absolutely pristine Cybertruck had no choice but to suffer a rapid unscheduled disassembly of its entire rear end.

Yes, he might be right. But he is almost certainly wrong.

dude ain't no rocket surgeon

Amazing is the owner who is ok with this. I absolutely cannot relate

Tesla owners are cultists. Totally divorced from reality and unable to make rational decisions or hold rational opinions about anything Tesla or Musk.

Don't take care track to the dentist ticket fixed. They'll charge you alarm and leg.

What's wrong with people???

Would be an interesting project for someone like Ford to drive a F 150 over the same pothole. While I'm at it, this Tesla is called a" truck". Where do you put the payload. Looks like a trendy attention seeker for the rich.

Either this guy is blindly supportive of the lapdog, or he has never had another truck before in his life if this is the most amazing one he has ever had. A Fisher-Price pedal car would have handled that pothole better.

You would love a Mil Spec hummer. Available for less than 10 grand and the under armor loves potholes.👍

Given the victims of accidents, careless attitude from Tesla regarding any of their responsibilities over products or delivery timelines, outrageous prices and ugly as shit designs, I don't understand why anyone trusts Elon Musk even a little bit. The man is an idiot and we should run him out of the country.

It can't be that amazing, if a pothole took it out. I hit a pothole in my chevy bolt and slammed the frame on the pavement. All I needed was new tire and alignment.

He must've been driving it pretty hard to do that damage on a pothole. Even the most durable trucks have their week points. I drive a Nissan Patrol, which is designed from the ground up as an off road 4wd, but it also has its weaknesses if you hit uneven terrain at high speed.

This is ovolouus not damage caused by a pot hole. The owner ever kinda points to that by not giving the details as to the drive when the damage occurred.

Had it been any other brand truck you'd have never hear about it.

Spoken like a truly. brainwashed Tesla cult follower. Truck frames should not break in half unless it's something catastrophic, not hitting a pothole.

There's simply no way my 72 international harvester 3/4 ton short bed would be damaged by any sort of pothole anywhere. The transfer case came down on rock, pulverized it and I it cracked a bracket which was easily welded. Theres no way I possibly could have cracked the frame like that. That is in part due to the tickness of the steel members in it and in part due to the fact that it's rivited and not welded or even worse, a casting. It can flex.

Spoken like a truly. brainwashed Tesla cult follower. Truck frames should not break in half unless it's something catastrophic, not hitting a pothole.

The cybertruck does not seem like a good investment if hitting a pothole will cause a $34k bill. Not a truck guy but would definitely buy any other brand and not something this low quality, to me it seems like the owners are trying to justify their extremely bad purchase with whatever they can think of
