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.

I know that not all Tesla vehicles have a mechanical latch to open the rear door in an emergency. It seems that the same situation applies to the mechanical latch for the trunk.
Wait the truck hobbles itself if a non-critical part isn’t working?
Maybe he shouldn’t have bought a fucking cybertruck 🤷♂️
From a Cybercunt.
If you dont fuck with the frunk then the frunk cant fuck with you
I like the situation, but the text reads as AI garbage.
Right who says baseball match, no one from the US. So either AI, foreign writer, or maybe an AI writer. In the 2 minutes I spent looking the author is from Ethiopia and “writes” one or more articles a day about Tesla. Not suspicious in any way.
Who tells a story like this to the press? Sounds made up.
Outrage and narcissism sells.
It’s absolutely believable.
He bought it because he thought it was badass.
It’s not.
“Hello? Media? I just committed the evidently heinous act of eating baked beans in the movie theater and you’ll never guess what happened next!”
Nazis’ were never cool, they were allowed to continue because not enough stood their ground against those cowards.
Imagine being such a wimpy snowflake that kids laughing at your car had you run to tell the internet about how your feelings are hurt.
All of the children were cheering for me, chanting my name, showering my beloved vehicle with praise! But then, disaster struck and they turned on me like Judas!
The kids are alright.
Who?
Maybe the fact that the Cybertruck looks like a preadolescence’s (or Musk’s) idea and like something they would draw explains their initial admiration. When 10-year-old boys start buying vehicles Tesla won’t be able to build them fast enough.
musk probably imagined the cybertruck in 2017, in a drug induced hallucination or daydream.
None of those 28 kids thought it was cool. They were staring at a train wreck and excited when it turned out exactly like they imagined.
Look, I think the Cybertruck is ugly, but being totally honest the kids are laughing most probably because it is getting towed, not because it was a Cybertruck getting towed. It could have been any car and they would have laughed at their teammates dad’s car getting towed.
Also, this looks like it is AI generated. But I don’t see any definitive proof yet. Their only link to a source is to a privated Facebook group that only Cybertruck owners who have joined the group can view. Obviously I will never have access to this, I just have to trust that the source even exists.
