Looks like Tesla can mark beaches off their "built for any planet" branding for their Cybertrucks.

One driver got stuck on Monday afternoon at Marina State Beach after trying to illegally drive their Tesla Cybertruck through the sand.

Advertisement The owner was able to get off the sand after deflating their tires. They were cited by the State Parks.

The thing weighs twice as much as a regular truck because of the damned batteries, you can’t drive it through soft ground like a damned jeep wrangler.

Still, the photo gives off some strong spaceballs vibes.

i miss those days....

How close did the tide get?

He had you right where he wanted you.

I drove my 240Z on the same beach on Guam my father (Marine) attacked in WWII.

The sand was hard, barely left tire tracks.

It's amazing more Marines weren't killed, they were facing very well dug in gun emplacements.

I don't understand why they didn't land on the other side of the island, where there would have been little if any opposition, and walked 8 miles to attack from the rear.

1987
My friends parents owned a house right on the beach in Marshfield, MA
I was pretty buzzed..though i could drive it on the beach.
The tow truck guy was a total A-hole
Everybody was passed out drunk
The tide was coming in
I started to panic

Luckily it all turned out ok

Hah. Other than a video I’ve seen on youtube of guy who got his pickup stuck at low tide half a mile from the beach in San Felipe, Baja California, which has 20 foot tides, and he didn’t get it out, I knew one guy whose car got stuck when the tide came in.

This was around 1975. He had a Z, but it was a Datsun 240Z. Didn’t get it stuck on the beach, but he got it stuck on a road leading to an island in the marsh. The salt water destroyed the wiring.

It was the road to Trount’s Island, Marshfield, MA.

Tesla’s don’t do well in water either. Ask Angela Chao. Oh wait...

Yes, but they do surprisingly well if you drive them off a 250 foot cliff.

Yea i was lucky.
The tow truck guy KNEW i was a desperate kid and demanded 100 dollars cash.

The water was coming in and the clock was ticking.
I lucked out
how we had 100 bucks between us was a miracle in itself..

Then there was the time in Falmouth...
