A Cybertruck owner says that the 10-year-old kids at his son’s baseball practice initially thought the Cybertruck was the coolest vehicle. However, their excitement faded & they started to point & laugh after the Cybertruck had to be towed on a flatbed.

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.

    If you want to impress folks with a vehicle go to a car show, quite often they respect both stock but well maintained cars and absolute monstrosities that are doing their own thing. I once saw a Yugo with a V10 shoved into it, I was pretty damned impressed.
