Tesla describes its Cybertruck as a durable, rugged vehicle that can go anywhere, but a Nevada man found out this week that's not always the case after his truck got stuck at a state beach in Monterey County.
The incident occurred Monday at Marina State Beach when the owner of the Cybertruck drove over a sidewalk and passed a sign that said “no vehicles on beach or dunes,” according to Parks information officer Douglas Johnson. California State.
“The Cybertruck soon got stuck,” he said. “With the assistance of the Marina Fire Department, the vehicle was able to exit by releasing air from the tires.”
KSBW Action News 8 posted a video on its TikTok account. The video was taken by a woman on the beach and shows a state park officer talking to three men near the Cybertruck. In the video, the woman and others laugh as the men push the truck off the beach. Johnson said the driver received a $280 fine.
The incident occurred just one day after a Tesla Cybertruck crashed into the front sign of the Beverly Hills Hotel on Sunday night, prompting responses on social media from the hotel and Tesla founder Elon Musk.
A user on X, formerly Twitter, had joked in a post that the hotel valet had crashed his friend's Cybertruck. Musk responded to the post: “Cyberbeast is faster than a Porsche 911, but it looks like a truck, so maybe the valet wasn't expecting so much acceleration.”
The posts led the hotel to clarify that the hotel valet was not involved in the incident.
