YouTuber tests Musk’s claim Cybertruck is the ‘armored personnel carrier’ of the future—by blowing it up with C4

YOUTUBER TESTS MUSK'S CLAIM CYBERTRUCK IS IN THE 'ARMORED PERSONNEL CARRIER' OF THE FUTURE-BY BLOWING IT UP WITH C4

Cody Detwiler, who hosts the good old boy DIY and cars channel WhistlinDiesel, decided to test the Cybertruck in a video in the most comprehensive way possible:

by driving the Cybertruck over hills, old pipes, and into other trucks, then testing Elon Musk’s claim the car was an “armored personnel carrier of the future” by rigging it up with C4 explosives.

The Cybertruck was able to offroad much more nimbly and comfortably compared to the F-150, not jolting Detwiler and his cameraman around as they tested it by powering over concrete pipes to stimulate potholes. The Ford, in fact, got itself stuck trying to drive over the concrete pipes and had to be hooked up to the Cybertruck to be towed to safety.

At this point, the Cybertruck wasn’t able to drive anymore, and Detwiler brought it into a garage for further testing, which included slamming all its doors as hard as possible.

A pack of C4 explosives made the Cybertruck look better. Musk once claimed the Cybertruck would essentially be a person’s individual tank of the dystopic future.

which had a hole blasted through its own tailgate.

Explosives on the door of the Ford also produced a dramatic hole, which the Cybertruck was able to resist. But at the end of the day, Detwiler said, the Ford truck fared better because the Cybertruck was simply no longer able to run.

Those slams didn’t do any favors for the Cybertruck, causing enough damage to the interior panel to bust the doors completely.

A pack of C4 explosives made the Cybertruck look better. Musk once claimed the Cybertruck would essentially be a person’s individual tank of the dystopic future.

But despite blowing a heavy dent into the Cybertruck’s tailgate, it fared better than the Ford F-150...
