The YouTuber EngineeringExplained also explained how although the cybertruck complies with the requirements for its advertised tow rating, this tow rating system is vastly inadequate for the real world and all other manufacturers overbuild the crap out of their trucks because they know that.

This is why cybertrucks are known to literally rip their frames apart while towing what they are technically rated for.

Wait, so every car manufacturer has already identified the problem decades ago, decided that bad press is worse than a few more dollars, and fixed it? Except the disruptive genius who knows everything? Nice.

Engineering explained is an excellent YouTube channel.

He also debunked the claim that the cybertruck won a drag race vs a 911 while towing a 911
