Tesla has debunked a viral video claiming a Cybertruck was remotely deactivated on a highway. The video, posted by an Instagram user, showed a Cybertruck with a flashing red warning and claimed it shut down unexpectedly. The user also shared a supposed cease-and-desist letter from Tesla. Tesla responded via Twitter, stating that the video is fake and that they do not remotely disable vehicles. The company further clarified that the screen shown in the video is not a genuine Tesla interface, effectively dismissing the claims of unauthorized deactivation.
