So Dad takes his 10 year old son to play in a baseball game. Dad drives son to the game in his Cybertruck. Dad puts son’s baseball gear in the frunk (front trunk; I am not making this up) of the Cybertruck. When they get to the game, Dad can’t open the frunk.
No problem, figures Dad. He can run home and bring son another glove (no report on whether son has 30, or just two). Au contraire. Because the latch on the frunk is disabled, the computer that actually is the “car” puts the “truck” into “Limp Mode.” (I solemnly swear I am not making this up.) Limp Mode means the vehicle will not exceed 15 mph until it is taken to Tesla for repairs. All Dad can do is call Tesla and get his “truck” towed. And repaired.
He had to get home via Uber. And his biggest complaint is that he looked bad in front of a baseball team of third graders (who thought the car was cool until the tow truck arrived).
Which I guess answers the question of who would want to own a car like this.
