Tesla Cybertruck And Ford F-150 Get Drowned And Break In WhistlinDiesel’s Second Durability Test
- YouTuber WhistlinDiesel has dropped the second installment of his Tesla Cybertruck and Ford F-150 durability test.
- Both trucks endure severe abuse that results in the Cybertruck making two visits to a Tesla service center.
- Whistlin Diesel claims the result is close, but only one truck is still driving at the end of the test procedure.
As soon as Cybertrucks began finding their way into owners’ hands, people started testing their durability claims and documenting the results on YouTube. One social media star who always takes things a step beyond the sane managed to snap his Cybertruck’s frame in a video test against an F-150 last summer, and now he’s back with a second video to find out whether Tesla or Ford builds the toughest truck.
var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:[]};
adpushup.que.push(function() {
if (adpushup.config.platform !== “DESKTOP”){
adpushup.triggerAd(“0f7e3106-c4d6-4db4-8135-c508879a76f8”);
} else {
adpushup.triggerAd(“82503191-e1d1-435a-874f-9c78a2a54a2f”);
}
});
In a video titled Cybertruck Durability Test #2, which in no way prepares you for the torture inflicted in the following 20 minutes, Cody Detwiler, better known to YouTube audiences as WhistlinDiesel, really does push the durability of both the Tesla and a gas-powered F-150 to the limit. Admittedly neither of the duo breaks in the first test, a simple tug of war, in which the trucks take turns making each other look helpless, but we don’t have to wait long for some carnage.

That arrives first when Detwiler strips the teeth on the Cybertruck’s front driveshaft while trying to pull donuts in front-wheel drive mode. And soon after the F-150 snaps its propshaft while jumping over rough terrain carrying 3,500 lbs (1,590 kg) of cinder blocks in the bed before the Tesla loses a rear wheel in a similar stunt.

});

_taboola.push({
mode: ‘thumbnails-oc-2×1’,
container: ‘taboola-mid-article-thumbnails-organic’,
placement: ‘Mid Article Thumbnails Organic’,
target_type: ‘mix’
});
I don’t want to spoil too much of the video but both trucks are in a real mess by the end of the test and Detwiler says it’s almost too close to call. But the fact that only one vehicle is still fully running when the credits roll – after rising from the dead using a drowned smartphone hack – and another has required multiple dealer visits just to stay in the game means there’s a clear winner in our eyes.
Whistlin Diesel’s video dropped only a couple of days after the destruction of a totally different Cybertruck. In that tragic terrorist incident, a Tesla pickup apparently rented through Turo and loaded with gasoline canisters, camp fuel canisters, and firework mortars was detonated by its driver outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. The driver died in the explosion and seven people were injured.
