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 waitāTesla'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.
