Ernest says the children were initially cheering the Cybertruck, but their enthusiasm turned to skepticism when the truck experienced an issue that rendered it undrivable.

The issue began when Ernest drove his 10-year-old son to a baseball match in his Cybertruck.

Ernest placed his son’s baseball gear in the front trunk (frunk); however, when they arrived at the field, the frunk wouldn’t open.

This is quite frustrating; however, the Cybertruck owner and father stated he was prepared to drive 40 minutes back home to fetch a replacement glove for his son.

Regrettably, despite his willingness to make this sacrifice to support his child, Ernest states that the Cybertruck detected an issue with the frunk and went into “Limp Mode.”

This is where the truck limits the top speed to 15 miles per hour, meaning that, besides repositioning the vehicle to be towed, there is nothing the owner can do.

At this point, Ernest says he was so frustrated that he briefly considered tying a rope around the frunk, connecting it to a tree, and yanking the frunk open.

      And then everyone clapped

      back at the stupid idiot and his stupid “truck”

      Fuck, frunk is the dumbest word I’ve ever heard and the fact that it can’t be manually opened is just ridiculous.

      Admittedly I probably would have thought it was cool looking when I was a kid. Luckily the only children who can afford them are manchildren.

      Like what, these kids had never seen one of these dumbass trucks? Just such a weird thing to lie about.

      They were cheering, they were.

      And one of those children? Albert Einstein.
