Apologies to the “general public”, if my family’s trailering horror stories somehow encouraged you to say ‘fuck it’ to things like towing and / or tongue capacities and go tow that african elephant you’ve been dying to buy…?

Getting away from the point. Again.

Test for test, the dumb aluminum box failed.

No one is arguing SAE standards. YOU are the one who brought that up.

And your argument now, is that the video, warning people not to trust the trailer hitch and general build of a cybertruck, is incorrect, and that you are chiming in for ‘public safety’ so they (me?) don’t ‘believe’ the video and should NOT consider the weight they’re towing with their cyberdump??

Seems that the video WAS a public safety warning and you were arguing against it before, yet now you are arguing the opposite because NOT using the trailer on a cybertruck is dangerous and gets people killed?? The exact opposite of the video.

Also, you’re saying people like me, whatever that means, repeat “it”, personal stories about trailering mishaps, to further warn people about underestimating their tow hitch / vehicals physical capacity so that things, like what happened to my father, doesn’t happen because that IS what kills people?

If all this sounds too confusing, it’s because you flipped your original argument and/or completely misunderstand what anyone else is saying.

We all agree that most of the time, the tongue weight won’t exceed the load.

We all agree that if/when that happens, catastrophic events can/will occur.

Which is what you seem to have said, yet for some reason have even confused yourself enough into unwittingly making the same argument.

Bahahahahaha

You can’t make this stuff up folks!

FYI a list of things that weigh 10,000lbs below (petty sure no one expects to be towing any of these things with a normal truck). But physics does make it possible for weight and energy, to be more than that of sheer weight, when outside forces occur e.g. trailer swaying, bumpy roads.

The best example of this is fishing line. You can get 20lb fishing line and a 10lb fish can break it. From jumping, fighting, sudden movements…etc.

1. 1. An African Forest Elephant
2. 2. Five Rhinos
3. 3. An RV
4. 4. Two Dumpsters
5. 5. Two Shipping Containers
6. 6. Four Cubic Yards of Gravel
7. 7. An Ambulance
8. 8. 4 to 6 Great White Sharks
9. 9. 33 Full Oil Barrels

Needless to say, you do this thing called “moving the goal post”.

I said I did NOT like red. But now that it doesn’t work for me, in this current situation, I like red. And I’ve always liked red. 🙄

We are all literally saying don’t tow too much!!! Even you!!

But especially in a cyberdump

So again… what is the point of arguing the SAME POINT!!! Or NOT to heed the warning the video is putting out???

You talked yourself into a circle!!!

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

This made my day.

Thank you.

Yup. Amongst other things, but it won’t matter.

There’s no critical thinking happening…

“The cybertruck being held together by glue was not in my 2025 bingo cards” hahahaha

FYI they have an entire section where they explain the difference between the trailer weight and tongue weight; complete with a little toy car and trailer demonstration of when the weight would be transferred from the trailer to the tongue.

Also, he says you want 90% of the weight in the trailer, but there are circumstances where the weight is transferred directly to the tongue.

I’ve watched my father’s back axel break, twice when towing. Once on his Jeep Wrangler and the other truck I forgot. First was towing a boat up a steep incline (an example used in the video cough cough) and the second on the highway with a double jet ski trailer, and two jet skis, when he went over a large pot hole on the highway (another axample in the video cough cough). He fully expected his vehicle, in any sense of the word, tow hitch included, to bear the weight of what he was towing btw. And no my father is not an idiot, at least in this regard. He would explain the difference of the weights and off setting things to the back of trailers blah blah blah all the time to me.

And to say, no one expects a thing to do the job that thing is made to do is a dumb comeback. Try that one on Belichik and see how it goes.

“Come on coach, no one expects me to be able to throw a football, that would be stupid!” 🙄

Buuuuuttttt you would know that if you watched the video instead of blindly reacting.

Also, what is the point of fighting this?? Being paid by Nazi car to say “nuh uh, it won’t fall apart, that’s a stupid test and those people are stupid…science is dumb!”

Seriously…what’ the point…

This.
