Tesla said it did not remotely deactivate the Cybertruck
A Tesla Cybertruck owner went viral with a video depicting his Cybertruck screen going crazy and showing a message that said the car was being deactivated remotely.
Days later, he shared a cease and desist letter they reportedly received from Tesla, apparently because he made a song titled Cybertruck.
Tesla said the video was fake – as was the cease and desist letter – and that the company does not deactivate cars remotely.
Even though the video – and the story – was fake, some people in the comment section had a question to ask.
Can automakers remotely ‘kill’ your car?
A lot of users said Tesla should sue the person in question for spreading fake news, which is a fair point.
But an X owner made another good point by asking a very important question
“But you do have that capability, do you not?” an X user asked.
