Tesla’s Cybertruck just made its grand debut at Mardi Gras 2025, and, well… it didn’t go great. Watch the Video: The Crowd Was Not Having It.

    They can put this in their ads. “The new Tesla Cybertruck. Blood and garbage just wash off of it. It’s panels are rock resistant and even resist molotov cocktails for up to 3 minutes…”

      How do you think the end would go?

      Bahaha, they’ll need a long disclaimer. YMMV sort of language. The orange Cybertruck, they were live-streaming from inside of it, I guess. Influencers were driving it. They showed off the damage in their video, looks like a cracked windshield and roof on their “bulletproof” truck.
