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”

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

All the problems out of these vehicles and production is still rolling? Probably the self centered owners enjoying the stares that come with a vehicle that looks like it was dreamed up for Oscar the grouch. They must not realize that I'd hate to be the guy driving that bucket is what comes with those looks. An amazing truck wouldn't have snapped as this one did, an amazing truck would have made that pothole fill itself!

The cyberjunk does not make you lack of manhood any more impressive to women..

You can probably get a better truck for that $34,000 the repair cost you.

If I were an insurance company I think I would be having second thoughts about insuring this vehicle and the people who choose to buy it. Obviously the guy did something beyond a simple pothole. Regardless of whatever the owner did, the repair bill and the time needed for the repair are excessive. Insuring risk-taking drivers who buy costly & fragile vehicles is a losing bet.

I cannot in good conscious, trust what fanboys write about that overengineered, overweight DeLorean. Wait to see what these tubs look like in just a decade. These trucks will dissappear in short order and it will be DeLorean all over again lmao. Not to mention the fact I can buy several brand new vehicles for the cost of one of those children's drawings of a truck.

Sounds to me like he beat the hell out of that truck. It wasn't a typical pot hole you might hit going 20mph. He was probably pushing 100 mph and didn't notice the section of road missing. He even said
"Since the insurance paid for it, I won't comment on how it was driven; it was just that a very large pothole in our washed-out road..."
yeah im sure it was a very large "pot hole"

I believe the Cybertruck needs an overhaul in the design department. The engineers should go back and check the rear frame of the truck. This is not the first time a Cybertruck frame broke. It was a pothole that broke the frame. It is a design flaw that could cause serious damage and injury. That's my 2 cents worth. Until next time..... Peace!

That's crazy. Expensive for a pothole. That will only put insurance rates sky high on these vehicles. It should have been built with more research into how real trucks are built so they don't break like that.
Worst truck ever. I would say. Not really a truck.

I mean the insurance paid for it. His only inconvenience was time. Sounds like he's still pretty stoked on the truck. Still the 3rd most popular truck sold in the US. Stuff happens. Should be more pissed at the city than Tesla.

Sounds like a manufacturing defect to the frame components since many people have been jumping these trucks and putting them through absolute hell.

If the cybertruck is so great and will retain 70% of it's value at 3 years old as Tesla claims, then why is Tesla refusing to accept any cybertruck tradeins on a new Tesla vehicle even when the owner is willing to pay more for a higher end vehicle??

Dude basically admits to insurance fraud on a 34k claim. No wonder rates are through the roof.

I hope his insurance company sees this

Is he trying to fool himself or make himself feel better for buying literal skip

$34,000? And he called that an amazing truck. My Nissan, Frontier, hit a huge pot hole, the whole whole front tire went in and came of the hole, truck was tilted to one side, drove it all the way home, next day found out a torso bar underneath was broken. Cost me $150 to get one, and $200 labor, good as new.

How much did they pay that man to say that was his best truck ever

Dude is coping hard. Trying to defend his over priced wanna be truck that can't handle things my 2023 Elantra (hit a big pothole at 35mph and had to replace a rim) could handle. Not even Tesla hating right now. Just bought a model 3 a month ago and really enjoy it.

"most amazing truck ever"

Meanwhile my 2004 Silverado has survived 460k miles, about half a million potholes, and even being hit, requiring a bed replaced... Still original 6.0 and transmission and most of the front end is factory from 20 years ago. She's not pampered. She works hard. She runs like new.

This reminds me of the Eric Idle character in the film, National Lampoons Christmas Vacation. He keeps getting knocked off his bike resulting in increasingly severe injuries, but insists that it's no problem, everything is fine. But that was a comedy.

That is NOT a truck !!! And if you think it's at all tough in any way. Then this is clearly the first vehicle you have ever owned.

Fixable after insane off-road abuse, not just a "pothole." He didn't go into details because it was an insurance claim, but clearly he abused it pretty hard, referencing a "washed out road," (means off-road) so if you believe it was simply a "pothole" then you're very naive.

I think one should consider the owner's comment , "Since the insurance paid for it, I won't comment on how it was driven ..." before posting to this article. To me, the comment implies
the truck was being driven hard when the incident occurred. A reminder of the old axiom, There are consequences for our actions.

It's all politics all over it's cybertruck this cybertruck that why can't mine and my relatives face any kind of issues like the ones on the internet ?.... leave politics alone , ever since Elon drenched into politics it's been non stop cybertruck this that , you need to improve please I'm a long time fan of the #torque news
