Another unintended acceleration issue. Fortunately, no one was injured but the Cybertruck still crashed into a house.
This happened in a rich-enough area that it was filmed by someone’s doorbell camera. There’s apparently 50-foot long line of skidmarks.
That video looks like operator error. The only tire noise you hear is when they are going too fast to make that first corner and then performed the all to common over-correction into the neighbors house. So many videos of rich idiots totaling their supercar* in the first week.
*not that this pile of shit is a supercar, but they still probably found a lot more power on tap than they were expecting.
But don’t let me interrupt a perfectly good circle jerk.

This isn’t the only SUA incident I’m aware of for Tesla.
The issue is that these events keep happening. Tesla Cybertruck is particularly advertised to be steer by wire and other bits that could be contributing factors.
Drive-by-wire is so much better than old fashioned mechanical control.
🤦♂️
I know you’re making a joke. This isn’t directed at you so much as a reaction.
But it’s kinda scary that some people will see some finely designed, engineered, tested, and refined bit of technology that has become so ubiquitous that it seems downright boring and then call that thing “old fashioned” like it is an insult without a trace of irony or sarcasm.
That’s not great.
Rich enough area that it was filmed on a doorbell camera? Unless owning a house qualifies you as rich, they can be had for not much more than a regular doorbell these days.
