    Never understood this analogy, a vehicle runs on electricity therefore it has a sexual preference. Does that mean my house is gay because it uses electricity?

    shoving a Cummins unto a cyber truck is pretty dope. unfortunately, the cybertruck just is not fit for truck stuff as whistlin diesel has proven (the frame snapped from towing a truck because of it being a unibody)

      Tbf he also drove it off a flatbed already at that point, and the undercarriage was smashed up. I could have broken something before he got to that step, but it wasn’t a good look for sure.

        The frame being aluminum and the truck weighing less than the F150 lightning is indicative that something is wrong as Ford just slaps electric parts into an F150 frame. You don’t get a stainless steel covered truck weighing less than an aluminum body electric truck out of nowhere. Sure, the moving away from 12v to 48v lets the wiring be smaller gauge but it shouldn’t be enough to offset the body weight difference.

    I am the opposite of petrolhead, but even to me it seems like a waste of perfectly fine new motor.

    They should have left the truck where they found it.

    … isn’t that like the only bit of the car that doesn’t need swapping?
    Wouldn’t that just downgrade it further (which is an achievement tbh)?

    Good luck lol. I dunno how you plan to swap the engine on an electric car considering it’s missing literally all of the parts required to make an combustion engine work, but good luck.
