After getting a "lemon" Cybertruck, an EV YouTuber is demanding a replacement — and says he has state law on his side.
In a frustrated post on the Elon Musk-owned X-formerly-Twitter, YouTube personality Lamar MK said that although he's had his Cybertruck for nearly two months, he's "only been able to drive it for about two weeks."
That's because the brutalist pickup has been taken in for maintenance on three separate occasions — where it's still currently trapped, he says.
"My truck wasn't just plagued by one issue," the vlogger wrote. "It has had all the major issues."
This isn't the first time the North Carolina-based YouTuber has taken to social media to complain about the "lemon" he received and to detail its many malfunctions. At the end of April, MK suggested in a video that his Cybertruck "dream" was morphing into a "nightmare" as he experienced the gamut of problems that others have reported: difficulty steering, flashing "weird error codes" on the car's internal screens, and a failure to charge.
In his latest X post, the Carolinian Tesla stan pointed out that under the state's so-called "Lemon Law," he's entitled to either repair, reimbursement, or replacement. Because he's been in for multiple repairs already — and because he's holding out hope that a new one won't be as crappy as his current one — MK said he wants the latter.
It's hard to believe the owner of a tesla truck would spend so long spinning their tires refusing to accept the truth that they're stuck.
Came out of a restaurant the other night to see some kid 'showing off' his brand new cybertruck. Was minding my own business walking by and he called out to me 'hey check out my new cybertruck! Pretty cool right?!'. Took a lot to not immediately respond that it looked like utter shit and that he wasted his parents money.

I mean, I feel like we all knew what the Cybertruck would be once it finally arrived and who it would ultimately appeal to. It's a rolling cry for attention (and help).Came out of a restaurant the other night to see some kid 'showing off' his brand new cybertruck.

I suppose you can't roar the engines, so personally asking people to pay attention to you is the next best thing.
How absolutely absurd.
lmao this reminds me of some in-laws that got a Tesla Model X, every family gathering they'd ask us, "want to check out the Tesla?". We always declined, even when I was mildly interested in them, they were kind of douche bags so I didn't want to give them validationCame out of a restaurant the other night to see some kid 'showing off' his brand new cybertruck.

I think there's a test for potential buyers

The Sims 4 Egypt Essentials KitAn insecure Cybertruck owner? Never! Nothing to add to all this really other than how damn ugly and grubby these things seem to look. A few different pictures already have shown different coloured door panels to the rest of the body etc. Then with the natural staining of the finish etc it just constantly looks older than it really is. It pretty much needs to be wrapped to stand a chance of looking acceptable...but even the wraps are ugly as sin. It can be no coincidence that it's wealthy people with poor/gaudy taste that are buying these heaps. It seems you pass a certain wealth level and you start to develop the kind of shitty taste that leads to ugly-ass mansions like Tommy Tallarico's...

Plus he's a veritable video game industry icon
I felt the same way. The roads aren't great here in Miami due to all the rain and the way the Cybertruck I saw was shimmying as it rode by made it look like it was built from tin instead of stainless steel.I saw one of these on the road for the first time yesterday. As ridiculous as it looks in photos, you are not prepared for how absurd it looks in person. It's like an origami vehicle.
He sure is one now after the hbomberguy video 😂
Witht this and Cyber truck, he can become one I guess?
No, that's a parody of people like the one that got a cut (which seems to be real)Er, is that tweet about the Tesla getting hacked true? I haven't heard of that before.
It's legitimately astonishing how these fanboys feel the need to try and wrap up every negative post about the car with some version of "But trust me, I still love this car!"
There's still only a few thousand out in the wild, right? They're super rare at this point.I'm surprised I haven't seen a Cybertruck in real life yet. I see stupid G-Wagens, and other expensive, showy cars, every single day.
Aye, something like 3,900 were recalled for the "oops your accelerator pedal might get stuck in the carpet trim" issue recently, and that's all of them.There's still only a few thousand out in the wild, right? They're super rare at this point.

I also enjoyed the part where he basically said, "I didn't want to go to the hospital because I'm a big tough man, but my wife made me!" :'(
you know how many cars Tesla sold the last years? That one of their cars was the most sold car worldwide last year?It's usually less than 100 of each dealership's vehicles because lol they actually sell their cars
