Seriously. I way considerably more than 160lbs. My kid brothers are both over 6ft 300lbs at this point. Any of us would violate the warranty on the hitch by stepping on it once. That's insane. 

If you are dumb enough to buy this MAGA hat on wheels given its garbage build, garbage “features”, and general inability to do anything useful you deserve what you get.  That includes being unable to escape from this POS in an accident or fire.  Darwin at work.

That is low of true. The hitch on a BMW e39 M5 is rated at 200 lbs tongue weight and 4000 lbs towing capacity. And it is literally just bolted to the sheet metal under the car.

Reading this reminded me of a jet plane’s ejection seat, which is also a last-resort means of exit. It looks so easy in the movies, but in real life—even though pilots are trained in its use—ejecting out of an aircraft often results in injuries, sometimes severe.

Where’s tesla_fan and all the other bootlickers. 

Just pulling a CT out of trouble could break the hitch off.

I can’t find any confirmation that it’s J2807 certified. Obviously we’ve seen it tow loads that would likely put more than 160lbs of downward force on the hitch, but between the lack of clear certification and Whistlin’ Diesel’s video, it does seem like there’s a real possibility that it didn’t clear the 2500 lb…

I really don’t understand why this is legal. Every trunk is required to have a glow in the dark handle that can open it from the inside at any time but for some reason it’s okay for normal ass doors to just become unopenable under common emergency situations.

OH WAIT!!!! I forgot that gravity on Mars is only about 38% of Earth’s, so technically that means you can load this thing up to at least 2 average female adults. I’m sure the stale fish will be by shortly to give me more reasons why this is perfectly fine and totally how it was designed.

Funny, I was just looking at the tongue weight capacity on a Polestar 2, which is like 200 lbs. A relatively small car with a STOWABLE hitch, not even a fixed bolted-on setup, has a higher vertical load capacity than a “truck” that’s supposedly indestructible and “built for Mars” or some shit? If you tried to carry a…

A class on the KISS method should really be required really for engineers

Lol, so a large man standing on the hitch can break it? Cybertruck: Cheaper than a cheap Chinese knockoff of itself!

Tesla cars and “trucks” are simply complete garbage that shouldn’t even have been certified as legal for road use. The company should be forced to be dissolved.

Isn’t the tech billionaire motto “forget certifications, let’s break stuff...”

Or is that just on submersibles? 

A vertical weight limit for something like a hitch-mounted bike rack could potentially stress different components than a trailer since all of the weight is on the hitch without any wheels of its own to distribute the weight

Good god that was an awkward sentence to read.

Don’t get dumped while using your BumperDumper. 

My guess is it’s the EXACT same hitch setup form the Y just bolted, ok wait lets be real duct taped and gorilla glued to the Cybertruck

Step on the hitch and overload it

Apparently this truck can’t even handle one of those Harbor Freight “trailers-in-the-box”.
