Finally, a video of a Cybertruck performing truck-ish duties that doesn’t end in failure—at least for the first eight seconds or so. Social media user AK 49 (@user4043937299344) published a clip of the Cybertruck bait-and-switch in question.
The footage begins with a Tesla Cybertruck slowly moving up a concrete and gravel incline. Behind it, attached to its tow hitch, is a stainless steel boat that reads “Spike Island.” Two passengers stand in the vessel as the EV pickup drives them up the slope. So far, so good.
However, the video quickly transitions to a cut that immediately shows an ironic progression.
As the Cybertruck’s tires spin on the gravel in this new shot, a white rope is seen in front of it. Next, the person behind the camera zooms out to reveal that the Cybertruck is actually being towed by what looks like a Ford F-150.
With the assistance of the best-selling truck in America, the Cybertruck—and boat—make it up the gradient as the video comes to a close.
