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”

Torquenews has been showing up in my Android Google feed. I do wonder, were you this negative on Tesla before Elon bought Twitter? The reason I ask is that I've seen a lot of negative content on Tesla here. This article's headline implies something completely different than the owner's Facebook post did. As a casual observer, it feels like your content may be tainted by a political disposition.

Not surprising, both his wife and her boyfriend love it too.

I hit potholes all the time in my Frontier and the frame has never snapped. With that kind of bill I could have bought 2 used frontiers instead of just one.

Always amazing how much a Tesla owner will excuse, it's really pathetic.

That’s what money brings you repairs no hardships good for you all money buys happiness

First off this isn't a truck, but it IS an overpriced pile of shit. The time it takes for repairs is a joke, because this guy isn't the only one who has endured repair times that are unacceptable in the current automotive industry. It should NEVER take four months to repair a nearly new vehicle that is still currently in production. You couldn't pay me to own any of this electric car bullshit. It's nothing but a hassle to own with a huge side order of aggravation. We can't run our air conditioners in the summer in some areas because of overloading the grid, but that same shitty powergrid is suddenly robust enough for us all to be able to convert our vehicles to electric.
Wtf 🤔

I think this owner has his head so far up inside Musk that Elon is risking blowing out his own rear end.

Ridiculous.

To each their own. Personally, I think this vehicle is the ugliest thing I have ever seen

Parts were replaced with in kind parts. So it's still not "fixed" and not "fixable."

What ai find amazing about this truck is that so many minor things cause this vehicle to be inoperable. And any singular one will do it.

I'm wondering what his insurance policy premiums are? Must be extremely high to pay for a 34000 claim. Lucky it covers potholes.

I bet this happened in California.
We have the crappiest highways in the Western States.

Another huge selling point for anything produced by Tesla. Not only are they ugly but they fall apart or blow up or drive out of control. But I'll cost you another mortgage to fix it and the end you have a resale value barely above a can a coca cola. Yeah I'll have one thanks 🤣🤣

Yea the potholes in the Bay area no joke. After xmas you can use them to stow your large tree in for easy pickup though, lol.

"Most amazing truck ever"....my ass. It can't even carry a bicycle or fishing rods, and I read about the damage to a cybertruck that hauled a bale of hay. "EGO RIDE" should be its name. Have yet to even see one in Oregon at all.....we know what "trucks" are supposed to be able to do here, and hitting a pothole is a daily occurrence. Good Lord....my Subaru Forester is far tougher, and my 1988 F250 could simply crush that hideous-looking DeLorean/El Camino wannabe. But hey....it IS far faster, just in case you need to get away from the crowd that gathered in the parking lot to jeer at the fool that emerged from the mall with a box of Cinnabons !

That owner sounds like a shill for Tesla to me. Just sayin

All insurance companies around here would consider that a totaled vehicle if frame broke .

Yes it’s so capable……that’s why its rear subframe broke after it hit a pothole. 🤦‍♂️🤡

It’s POS.

Sorry to read about your little adventure with a pothole. You wouldn't be so enamored with your truck if it were out of warranty. My F250 Superduty would of taken on that pothole without missing a beat. Good luck on your next cracked pavement.

Unless this jackwagon has a lot of money he's an idiot this truck is not durable as he claims to be if it costs $34013 and 4 months to fix hitting a simple little pothole you're out of your damn mind you just want people to believe this is the best truck ever and all you hit was a pothole and now it messed up the truck petrol vehicles will cost less than that defects you're an idiot whoever owns this truck Truck is a piece of crap you gotta get a new vehicle you Jack wagon

No wonder my insurance policy goes up every 6month. This electric vehicle BS is not going to last, this is totally unsustainable on so many levels.

This is a click bait article. I am going to tell Google to never show me news from this site. You may have gotten one visit from me but you will never get it again.

The main issue is that you downplay the cause of the breakdown and portray as if the truck broke down over a minor pothole. Whereas the owner clearly attests to how durable the truck is. The kind of damage mentioned, there is no surprise to how much it cost. There is nothing about this article that was worthy of being the news.

No way that damage was from a pothole. I can't believe the insurance company covered that. What company was it, does anyone know? Sounds to me like if they're rates are competitive they'd be good to have. They'll believe anything!!

That's some strong Kool-Aid

This sounds like a cult.

A perfect example of Stockholm Syndrome..

Owner sounds like a fool! 4 months to fix a broken frame? wow in all my years of driving the #1 truck. F150 of course, for years I've never broken a frame but thet cyber abomination is the greatest truck ever! Smile loser!

...and this guys blase attitude about insurance fixing it, is EXACTLY why EVERYONE's auto insurance rates keep going up!!!! These trucks shouldn't be allowed to be insured.

I have had a Silverado an F150 and now an F150 Lightning and have gone over curbs large potholes off road and never had something like that happen. I would have dropped it at dealers lot and never gone back.

A truck that snaps in half on s pot hile is not an amazing truck. This is what is called a sunk cost fallacy. The guy is just saying that because he's already bought the piece if garbage and to call it garbage now would make him look stupid.

I purchased a four year old Toyota Tundra V8 puckup truck with 38,000 miles on it for half of the cost of a Cybertruck and I would bet any amount of good money that it will last twice as long as the Tesla will. I live in a rust belt city and I will use it more as a truck than most Cybertruck owners as I have a cottage that I visit every weekend all year long. My difference is that I have no need to brag or show everyone how enormous my ego really is!!!!
