This Tesla owner’s hilariously underwhelming boast speaks volumes about the Cybertruck, and the people who buy them
Tesla’s Cybertruck may be Elon Musk‘s pride and joy, but it’s been beset by justified criticism for problems with both the design and construction of the $82,000+ vehicle.
Its Robloxalike aesthetic is constantly mocked.

Its overhanging rear end can cause problems when in off-road or ‘wade’ situations.

In 2024, there was a recall on the vehicles because the accelerator could get stuck – which is pretty terrifying.
Tesla is recalling every single Cybertruck, because the accelerator pedal can get stuck.https://t.co/ytNPb3jacP

None of which worried Cybertruck owner Teslaconomics, who posts about their beloved vehicle like a parent sharing their baby’s cherished milestones.
They posted this clip of the truck being put through its paces. Sort of.

Once people had watched to the end and realised that the demonstration didn’t include anything impressive, they waded in far more effectively than the Cybertruck can.

My dad has frequently driven far faster than that over far worse tracks than that in rural France, behind the wheel of a hired Seat Ibiza. https://t.co/kIF6owxBz8
