Tesla Remotely Bricks Cybertruck Because of a Music Video? LOL Nope
Tesla drama hits peak 2025 as @bighuey313 claims his Cybertruck 'just shut off on the freeway!' with a sinister flashing red warning, blaming Tesla for 'unauthorized use' in his music video. But wait—Tesla's 'cease-and-desist' letter looks like a photocopy from a 2010 MySpace breakup, signed by a 'Sr. Director and Deputy General Counsel' who upgraded titles since then. Plus, the supposed warning is probably just a YouTube prank. So yeah, while BlueSky and Reddit blow this up, the only thing Tesla remotely deactivated was our common sense.

(1 of 3)Tell me your Tesla remotely bricked your truck over an unofficial music vid without telling me Elon Musk just asked his lawyers to vibe check your TikTok.
This is giving big 'my evil corporate overlord is also a bad fan fiction author' energy.
Tesla threatening artists about IP like that’s gonna fix a truck that probably crashes on Wi-Fi spots alone.
