A video [circulating online]() shows two men struggling to push the 5,500-pound pickup, which [according to Tesla]() is "durable and rugged enough to go anywhere," across the beach. The person filming the video can be heard cackling with glee. Naturally, social media had a field day with what's only the latest incident — more on that later — involving the truck. "This shining example of a man drove his Cybertruck on our local beach near Santa Cruz and of course got it stuck," Sebastiaan de With, cofounder of the iPhone photography app Halide, [wrote](). "This car is really becoming a symbol for poor life choices." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTY7yZdA71w ## Beached Whale De With was likely referring to a number of other incidents involving the divisive truck, which only started rolling off the lot late last year. In one instance, a YouTuber took Tesla CEO Elon Musk by his word and [took his Cybertruck for a swim](). Earlier this year, a Cybertruck that was pushed to its limits in the California desert ended up having one of its [wheels snap off](). Just this week, a Cybertruck hopped the curb, [crashing]() into the Beverly Hills Hotel sign — and also had one of its wheels ripped off. We've also seen several instances of the Cybertruck [getting stuck in the snow]() and ice over the winter. To be fair, as with many of these cases, the truck's failure to tackle natural obstacles is at least partially due to user error. Case in point, in this latest instance, the truck was able to get off the sand by deflating the tires. But as de With points out, the truck appears to attract an unusual number of dull-witted drivers. This particular one got away with a citation by the State Parks Department, a small price to pay for being an absolute moron. **More on the Cybertruck:** *[Cybertruck Crashes, Entire Wheel Ripped Off]()* ## Author I've been at Futurism since 2017, where my role has evolved to encompass design, writing, and increasingly editing. I've always been fascinated by space exploration and advanced transportation, which I've leaned into by interviewing luminaries in those fields while closely following the dimensions of policy and regulation that allow next-generation projects to succeed -- or, sometimes, to fail. I'm also keenly interested in the effects of generative AI on society, policies, and democratic institutions, as well as clean energy, physics and biology, and the vagaries of tech leadership. My work for Futurism has been cited by publications including Ars Technica, Gizmodo, PC Magazine, Jalopnik, Fox News, and the New York Post. I spent my childhood living in locations including Manila, the Philippines, and Geneva, Switzerland, attended McGill University, and now live in Toronto, Canada. Before Futurism I worked at AskMen and a small photography studio. In my free time, I'm an avid gardener, foodie, and craft beer lover, as well as a maker of artisanal hot pepper sauces. I have a magnificent dog named Freida. ### Author social links [Bluesky]()
