A new video shows the embarrassing moment a Tesla Cybertruck got stuck trying to cross a California river, the latest in a series of mishaps involving the electric vehicle.
The futuristic van was caught on camera attempting to traverse the body of water in Azusa Canyon on Sunday.
A video posted on YouTube shows the angular car trapped in the river with water covering its tires.
The Cybertruck tired to pass the water’s edge, but became trapped before the rear wheels could cross onto land.
The driver reversed the vehicle to the opposite edge in an effort to gain momentum, but again failed to successfully cross.
A Tesla Cybertruck got stuck trying to cross a river in Azusa Canyon, California, on Sunday.
After repeated attempts to back up and then accelerate over the water’s edge, a Silverado pickup truck helped pull the Cybertruck out of the water, according to the video uploader to YouTube.
Commentators mocked the driver for attempting to use the innovative-looking vehicle to cross a body of water.
“I thought this was the greatest off-road vehicle of all time, which happened,” commentator Pat Benjamin said.
‘One problem I notice with the cyber truck is that it is too rigid for the long wheelbase it has. When the wheels are that far apart, you need more suspension. Otherwise, it’s just a tall car,” said Derrick Fishes.
‘I wouldn’t take a 100,000 truck on a river like that. First of all, it’s electric, so I’d worry about that. Secondly, just because it has 1,000 horsepower and tons of torque or whatever, doesn’t mean it can do anything,” Zane Dzikonski said.
‘Its suspension and tires are not intended for off-road use. Also always go with a friend who can help you.
‘I can’t wait until the influencers’ money runs out. “This is a clown show,” said another.
This is the latest in a series of incidents involving the vehicle that many buyers have had countless problems with.
In March, a driver crashed into the iconic Beverly Hills Hotel sign and asked Elon Musk for a new one after blaming the hotel’s valet service.

In March, Philadelphia rapper 2Rare claimed to have crashed his Cybertruck into the iconic Beverly Hills Hotel sign.

The valet service responded and said none of its employees were driving the condemned electric van.
A careless driver who ignored a “No Vehicles on Beach or Dunes” sign ended up driving his Tesla Cybertruck onto a California beach in March, where it got stuck in the sand.
