A Cybertruck owner has issued a warning to fellow drivers after a horrid crash<\/h2>\n

A Cybertruck owner has issued a warning to fellow car lovers about making the same ‘mistake’ after he experienced a terrifying crash while using a self-drive feature.<\/strong><\/p>\n

While some fans of\u00a0Elon Musk’s<\/a>\u00a0cars will argue it’s the future of the industry, there’s no doubt we’ve heard of many problems involving\u00a0Teslas<\/a>\u00a0in recent months.<\/p>\n

Recently, we’ve had a Tesla owner with more than 250,000 miles\u00a0reveal \u2018one of the worst things\u2019 about it<\/a>, while another owner was forced to pay a massive $14,000 repair bill after buying it.<\/p>\n

Now, an owner of the\u00a0Cybertruck<\/a>\u00a0has been involved in a massive crash while using the vehicle’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) feature.<\/p>\n

Jonathan Challinger, who is based in Florida, took to\u00a0Twitter<\/a>\u00a0to describe the crash in a now-viral thread.<\/p>\n

He wrote: “Soooooo my @Tesla @cybertruck crashed into a curb and then a light post on v13.2.4. Thank you @Tesla for engineering the best passive safety in the world. I walked away without a scratch.<\/p>\n

“It failed to merge out of a lane that was ending (there was no one on my left) and made no attempt to slow down or turn until it had already hit the curb.”<\/p>\n

With his awful crash, Johnathan has issued a warning to others so they can potentially avoid making the same mistake.<\/p>\n

“Big fail on my part, obviously. Don’t make the same mistake I did. Pay attention. It can happen. I follow Tesla and FSD pretty closely and haven’t heard of any accident on V13 at all before this happened. It is easy to get complacent now – don’t.<\/p>\n

“@Tesla_AI how do I make sure you have the data you need from this incident? Service center etc has been less than responsive on this.<\/p>\n

The crash seriously damaged the vehicle (Twitter\/@\u200cMrChallinger)<\/cite><\/div>\n

“I do have the dashcam footage. I want to get it out there as a PSA that it can happen, even on v13, but I’m hesitant because I don’t want the attention and I don’t want to give the bears\/haters any material.<\/p>\n

“Spread my message and help save others from the same fate or far worse.”<\/p>\n

Many have flocked to the comments section of the viral Twitter post to provide their thoughts.<\/p>\n

One person penned: “I see a lot, and I mean a lot of issues here. First of all, it\u2019s dark. People don\u2019t like driving in the dark, or in the evening because that\u2019s when all the drunks and weirdos come out. Secondly, it looks like it was raining out. Lastly, that is not a parking spot, and is likely the reason your beautiful Cybertruck is being towed!”<\/p>\n
