Tesla uses aluminum gigacasts for the front and rear of its Cybertruck electric pickup, and the material was put to the test with a trailer towing hitch downforce against the steel frame of an old RAM 2500 pickup.https://www.notebookcheck.net/Cybertruck-vs-RAM-2500-towing-hitch-load-test-snaps-Tesla-s-gigacast-aluminum-rear.976818.0.html
Its a towingate!
What a load of rubbish.
Tongue weight would NEVER be 10,000lb! And if it is, it is WAY over the rated capacity of ANY pickup truck...
Bashing Tesla for views... despicable.

Which is fine if we're talking about steel, but we're not. Aluminium suffers degradation from every stress exerted on it, which adds up. Much like the Cyber truck itself, a couple of small innocuous faults aren't necessarily an issue, but when it starts to pile up costing money and lives, most people pay attention.
Softer aluminium frame than an iPhone, in something that can do 0-60 in under 3 seconds, now that's despicable!
What did this article have to do with laptops/notebooks?
A truck with a 10,000 pound tongue rating would be rated to tow over 100,000 pounds.More hate for a man who has done more to advance humanity than entire governments or all generations of most families.Must suck to life life in such misery
