A man has attempted to walk on his Tesla Cybertruck and the outcome is pretty horrible.
The clip of the man trying to walk on top of the vehicle has now gone viral but for all the wrong reasons.
When Elon Musk first unveiled the Cybertruck back in 2019, many people marveled at how futuristic the car looked.

It was dubbed as being a bulletproof machine that could endure hard wear and tear but it seems that it might not be the case.
The video seems to show a different side to the Tesla motor that isn’t quite as impressive.
In the footage, which was uploaded to YouTube and TikTok by Tesla Owners Silicon Valley, the man can be seen climbing on top of the Cybertruck, while there are a lot of other Tesla vehicles in the background.
The man says that it is necessary to step on the roof because Cybertrucks are ‘built to last’.
But as the Tesla owner approaches the windshield, a rather loud and intense crunch can be heard on the camera.
However, the Tesla fanatic fails to acknowledge the obvious break, as he hops off the vehicle and continues to film its exterior.
He even mentions the Tesla and the US flag found at the rear of the car while continuing to dodge the elephant in the room.
While the owner never actually spoke about it in the video, the clip's title on YouTube, 'Cybertruck windshield breaks', reveals what we had all suspected.
It's not the first time the Cybertruck has suffered damage for public viewing, with one of the more infamous occasions involving Musk himself.
In 2019, the X, formerly Twitter, owner boasted of the car's so-called 'shatterproof' windows only for one of them to be smashed during a live demo.
Musk was so confident in the vehicle’s rock-hard credentials that he asked Tesla design chief Franz von Holshausen to try and break the glass of the 'shatterproof' glass during a launch demo.
"You want a truck that's really tough, not fake tough,” he said at the time.
"You want a truck you can take a sledgehammer to, a truck that won't scratch, doesn't dent."
But when von Holshausen launched a steel ball at the car, two windows ended up paying the ultimate price.
It’s a quite a painful watch but it doesn't seem to have stopped the billionaire.
His latest vehicle - the Cybercab - was recently unveiled.
