Tesla's Cybertruck is touted as being 'apocalypse-proof,' but one driver still managed to get the $70,000+ vehicle stuck on a beach on Nantucket Island.
A tow truck operator from the 'I Pull Out Beach Towing' company was called to the site to remove the vehicle and confirmed that the owner had made a critical mistake: he hadn't let air out of the tires.
The Cybertruck manual notes that owners should let the air out of their tires before off-roading, reducing it from 50 psi to between 18 and 22 psi when on sand.
This is not the first time a Cybertruck owner has faced issues, with other people reporting they received 'critical steering error' alerts, having become stuck in off-roading terrain and widespread recalls.

The tow truck operator told the Nantucket Current that the Cybertruck owner was 'super nice...Just a first timer who made the standard mistakes.'
Before off-roading, drivers need to reduce the tire pressure because it increases traction on sand, gravel or dirt and decreases the risk of the tire being punctured.
'Unfortunately, they had neglected to do that or did not know to do that,' the tow operator told Business Insider, adding: 'So that set them three steps back, right from the word go.'
The debacle was the first time the vehicle has been seen on the island and attracted a lot of attention from locals when the owner rolled off the Steamship Authority Ferry and parked the Cybertruck on a crosswalk in the middle of Main Street.
'He immediately gets off the boat and then parks in the heart of town on a crosswalk,' the tow truck operator told Insider. 'It sort of made the internet rounds — and then, by 5 o'clock, it was stuck on the beach.'
Cybertruck owners have previously complained about off-roading issues, reporting that the vehicle got stuck in the snow or had trouble getting up a hill. Pictured: Cybertruck stuck on Nantucket Island's beach

Jeremy Junkins, a Cybertruck owner since March 8, took to social media with a long list of complaints about his brand new vehicle.
Advertisement'We were joking [that] we sort of applaud his ability to really check off all of the things not to do on Nantucket in very quick succession,' he added. 'Really made the most out of the day.'
Although the driver did make what seemed to be a crucial error, Cybertrucks have recently gotten stuck in the snow and struggled to make the drive up steep hills.
The reports come after Musk promised at last year's launch event: 'If you're ever in an argument with another car, you will win.'
He added: 'The apocalypse could come along at any moment, and here at Tesla, we have the finest in apocalypse technology.'
Yet Cybertruck owners have complained that the vehicle developed rust spots after driving in the rain and a defect in which the pedal cover slid off and locked the accelerator to the floor, forcing the vehicle to increase to full speed.
The complaint prompted Tesla to voluntarily recall nearly 4,000 of its Cybertrucks last month.
