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.
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.

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.
