YouTuber Cody ‘WhistlinDiesel’ Detwiler put the Tesla Cybertruck through a durability test in his August 2 video, using various items, such as C4 explosives and Jake Paul’s fist.
With nearly 8M subscribers, WhistlinDiesel has skyrocketed in popularity with his off-the-wall videos, which feature him doing wild and crazy things with various trucks and cars.
He’s been teasing a durability test with a Tesla Cybertruck for weeks, building up hype for the video’s eventual release. With fans eager to see how Detwiler put the EV to the test, the video was finally uploaded on August 2, 2024.
To make things more interesting, Detwiler and his crew did the same tests with a regular Ford F-150 pickup truck to compare the two. The test began relatively simple, with the YouTuber just driving them over a hill made of logs.
Both trucks were driven over a series of pipes for the second test, and it went downhill after the F-150 got stuck at the top. WhistlinDiesel’s team used the Cybertruck to pull it back down the ramp but managed to rip off the entire rear bumper and hitch in the process.
The damage left the YouTuber shocked, and he uploaded a video of the incident to his TikTok channel, which has received over 12M views in the days since.
