Man tries to walk on his Tesla Cybertruck and it backfires horribly
The Tesla owner tried to avoid the elephant in the room during the video

In a viral clip, a man tried to walk on top of his Tesla Cybertruck, only for things to go horribly wrong as he showed off his whip.
Elon Musk first debuted the Cybertruck in 2019, with many at the time amazed at how futuristic it looked.
While that's still technically true, you see many more of the Tesla vehicle in the wild nowadays, so the amazement is not so high.
The Cybertruck has prided itself on being a bullet-proof machine, but one viral video shows it to be anything but.

The clip, which was first posted to TikTok and YouTube by Tesla Owners Silicon Valley, sees a man walking on the top of a Cybertruck with a grey digital camouflage.
Many other Teslas appear in the backdrop of the video, so it seems as though the man was at a meet and greet with fellow lovers of the Musk brand.
But when you are meeting these fellow Tesla enthusiasts, the man claims it's a necessity to walk on the roof, as Cybertrucks are 'built to last'.
As the 240-pound Tesla owner approaches the windshield, a rather loud and intense crunch can be heard on the camera.
However, the Tesla fanatic fails to acknowledge the obvious break, as he hops off the vehicle and continues to film its exterior.
He even mentions the Tesla and the US flag found at the rear of the car while continuing to dodge the elephant in the room.
While the owner never actually spoke about it in the video, the clip's title on YouTube, 'Cybertruck windshield breaks', reveals what we had all suspected.
It's not the first time the Cybertruck has suffered damage for public viewing, with one of the more infamous occasions involving Musk himself.
In 2019, the Twitter owner boasted of the car's so-called 'shatterproof' windows only for one of them to be smashed during a live demo.
Musk was so confident in the vehicle’s rock-hard credentials that he asked Tesla design chief Franz von Holshausen to try and break the glass of the 'shatterproof' glass during a launch demo.
"You want a truck that's really tough, not fake tough,” he said at the time.
"You want a truck you can take a sledgehammer to, a truck that won't scratch, doesn't dent."
But when von Holshausen launched a steel ball at the car, two windows ended up paying the ultimate price.
Just a touch embarrassing.
