‘CyberStuck’ gains notoriety

A broken-down Tesla Cybertruck in the United States became a surprise tourist attraction after images of the stricken vehicle went viral.

A photo of the zero-emissions model in Seattle, Washington, with its rear wheels askew was first posted online by a Reddit user in early September.

They commented there was no obvious damage to the futuristic-looking vehicle’s bodywork and it appeared to have been abandoned in the street.

Other related posts followed, nicknaming the vehicle the CyberStuck, and four days later someone shared a picture with a small cross and flowers placed in front of the truck to mourn its demise, reports Daily Dot.

The CyberStuck was also officially listed as a tourist attraction on Google Maps before being removed by the platform. 

Within about a week of the first Reddit post, the Tesla model was eventually towed away ending its fleeting and funny moment in the spotlight.
