I saw a claim that this was just disassembly to do the repair. Why they would need to remove upper balljoint to change a bolt associated with the tie rod I have no idea.Looks like the Balljoint Stud pulled out of the upper control arm. This looks like a stock suspension setup with stock parts

I'm pretty sure all Teslas are cotter pin free. The best part is no part.I have never seen a Front Suspension without Castle nuts and Cotter Pins on ball joints or Steering Tie Rods
That all looks stronger than the tie rod itself. I'm going with one of these two:It's possible that the connection from where the Tie Rod connects to the steering rack broke and not the actual Tie Rod. In the video the person says that the Tie Rod is connected to a Bracket that is attached to the Steering Rack.
The plot thickens. Still no pictures of a broken tie rod or broken bolt. There’s a picture of an intact tie rod and pictures of a nylon strap bolted to where a tie rod once was.Details, but I still can't see the break

C'mon, that doesn't fit the narrative that the Cybertruck can't go off-road.... Stay on topic please.You are out with a broken Truck people are going to take pictures and make comments. Same thing with the New Ford Broncos when they break.

That’s a big bolt in double shear. I don’t believe it.From the InsideEVs article:
"...and on the second day, a stock bolt from the Cybertruck’s rear-right inner tie rod broke, rendering the car undrivable."
So it was the inner bolt.
And the tie rod would bend/break before either.I find it hard to believe, too. You'd think the outer tie rod ball joint stud would shear off LONG before the inner bolt would shear.
