Controversial ways of fame

Host Cody Detwiler has built a following by creating offbeat videos where he takes on unusual challenges such as crushing Nissan Skyline GTRs, off-roading in a school bus, and even destroying fire engines.

This time, he’s turned his attention to the EV world with a Tesla Model 3 and decided to modify it with massive 115-inch wheels making it seem like a dystopian Amish transport. The modifications, while certainly eye-catching, proved to be too much for the electric car to handle.

Despite its popularity, the Model 3 has its fair share of critics and WhistlinDiesel’s latest video seems to indicate that he shares some of those doubts.

Destruction

In the video, Cody puts the Tesla Model 3 to the test, subjecting it to a series of challenges that would make most car owners cringe.

From driving on the massive 115-inch wheels to ramming into various obstacles, the car is pushed to its limits, and ultimately, beyond.

While WhistlinDiesel’s antics are sure to draw attention, it’s worth noting that damaging or destroying property for entertainment purposes is not recommended or encouraged.
