The Tesla Cybertruck is totally useless for this Chechen warlord, and towing (according to manual)

[@lynandhenrymeyerding3392]

A friend of mine who has been an automotive machinist for a long time was fond of collecting historical shop manuals. He said the the shop manual for the Model T told people to tighten the journal bolts and head bolts "as tight as you can." By the time the Model A came out, they had broken off enough of these bolts to change this to recommend that you tighten them "as tight as a normally strong man can with an 8 inch wrench." This advice remained more or less unchanged until torque specs were published in the mid 1950s.

I bought a brand new ford hybrid and on the sync 3 system in the menu you can toggle on or off this option that you driving habits which include speed and braking will get reported over the air to their data base and be shared with insurance and possibly with law enforcement. I think they can do that without selecting this and they also can shut down the truck if they want to since it is all electronically controlled. It's crazy by old school cars before you can't even drive your car you have.

[@joshualandesman1686]

In the Infrastructure Act that passed a few years ago, Congress put in a requirement that all new cars have a kill switch as of the 2026 model year. Proponents claim it's to prevent drunk driving deaths, but I think that's just their justification for this Orwellian control. Thomas Massie introduced an amendment to remove the requirement from law, but he was accused of wanting to kill people with drunk drivers, and the amendment failed.

[@blurglide]

160 pounds is for hitch-mounted accessories, like bike racks. It's not just a vertical load but a bending moment.

[@jake_of_the_jungle9840]

That doesn’t make it any better. You couldn’t even put a motorcycle carrier hitch on it because every bike is over 150lbs. At least my Subaru car can do that

[@SuzukiKid400]

So you can’t hold a dirt bike in a hitch carrier like with any other truck on the market! Wow, this truck is such a huge letdown. Oh, but it can go really fast so that makes it okay!

[@TheEulerID]

It makes no difference. It's a downward load on the hitch, and you get a bending moment whether that downward load is applied by a bike rack or a trailer. There may be some difference with dynamic loads as that bike rack is fixed whilst the trailer hitch will move, but it still doesn't sound right.

[@blurglide]

​@@TheEulerID That's incorrect. To have a bending moment, the trailer would have to have no wheels. Hitches aren't really designed for these accessory racks, but can handle them anyway since they're meant for much heavier loads

[@alstubbmann9025]

many cars are able to be remotely disabled for years. my 2015 Genesis had the feature that if my car was stolen, with police authorization, the car can be disabled and the exact location was known to the police. I am pretty sure that GM had that feature too with their emergency notification system

Hoovie packin’ heat 😂

[@TheEulerID]

That vertical load capacity is ridiculously low. It's normally recommended to have between 5% and 15% of the load weight on the hitch, which with 10,000 pound loading capacity would be between 500 and 1,500 pound. Many would think even 5% is low. Also, the dynamics of towing means that the load will fluctuate a lot as you drive along.

They've already sold more CT's than all other EV trucks combined (Rivian/F150/Hummer etc), and that is only the Foundation edition.
