Cybertruck Chaos: Tesla Owners Push Durability to the Extreme

Remember Elon Musk hyping up the Cybertruck like it was some kind of armored tank on wheels? Yeah, well, folks took him way too seriously. Turns out, one of Tesla's engineers is now publicly begging owners to stop destroying their own trucks. Wes Morrill, the guy, even took to Twitter to try and talk some sense into these people.

Honestly, I get why he's frustrated. These people spent a fortune on these things, and then what do they do? Try to prove if it's actually bulletproof, toss metal balls at the windows... some dude even took a torpedo to it.

You gotta check out this list from Business Insider. It's insane:

• Channel called "JerryRigEverything" shoots at it, including with a .50 caliber gun.

• Other folks copy that infamous demo where they threw a ball at the window (you know, the one that shattered)
• Tesla themselves posted a video of the truck climbing crazy off-road stuff, so of course owners tried it... some didn't end well
• One guy went full caveman and smashed it with a sledgehammer (y'know, like Elon did at the reveal)

• YouTuber "TechRax" decided to see how it handles being submerged in water... up to the windshield

• A group literally kicked the thing for a while

It's wild, right? Makes you wonder why anyone would spend that kind of cash and THEN try to wreck it for YouTube views. Some of them even wear those dents like a badge of honor! One guy even told Insider he plans to keep the bullet holes because "they look cool."

Don't get me wrong, the Cybertruck is weird and interesting, and the hype is kinda fun. But wasn't the whole point to have something cool and different? Destroying it yourself kinda defeats the purpose, doesn't it?
