Tesla’s Cybertruck Gets Stuck on Beach: Owner Fined $280

Tesla describes its Cybertruck as a durable and rugged vehicle that can go anywhere, but one Nevada man learned this week that’s not always the case after his truck became stuck on a state beach in Monterey County.

The incident occurred on Monday at Marina State Beach when the owner of the Cybertruck drove over a curb and sidewalk and past a posted sign stating “no vehicles on beach or dunes,” according to Douglas Johnson, information officer with the California State Parks.

“The Cybertruck soon got stuck,” he said. “With assistance from the Marina Fire Department the vehicle was able to get out by releasing air from the tires.”

KSBW Action News 8 posted a video on its TikTok account. The video shows a state park officer talking to three men near the Cybertruck. In the video, others laugh as the men push the truck out of the beach. Johnson said the driver was fined $280.

The incident happened just a day after a Tesla Cybertruck crashed into the front sign of the Beverly Hills Hotel on Sunday night, prompting social media responses from the hotel and Tesla founder Elon Musk.

A user of X (formerly Twitter) had joked in a post that the hotel valet had crashed his friend’s Cybertruck. Musk responded to the post: “Cyberbeast is faster than a Porsche 911, but looks like a truck, so perhaps the valet wasn’t expecting so much acceleration.”

The posts prompted the hotel to clarify that the hotel’s valet was not involved in the incident.
