Tesla Denies Remotely Disabling Cybertruck: Viral Video Debunked
2025-08-12

A viral video surfaced showing a Cybertruck seemingly deactivated on a highway, with the owner claiming Tesla remotely disabled it due to its appearance in an unauthorized music video. The video included a flashing red warning message on the truck's screen and a purported cease-and-desist letter. However, Tesla swiftly debunked the video, stating it's fake. They pointed out discrepancies: the warning message doesn't match Tesla's standard format, and the letter contains errors such as an outdated job title. Despite this, the video spread rapidly across BlueSky, X, and Reddit, reinforcing pre-existing negative opinions about Tesla and Elon Musk.
