Tesla owner shares the downsides of driving a Cybertruck as he puts the luxury car to the test on TikTok

A Tesla owner has revealed his thoughts on why purchasing a coveted Cybertruck might not be for everyone. 

Jeremy Junkins, a Cybertruck owner since March 8, took to social media with a long list of complaints about his brand new vehicle. 

His frustrations might not come as a surprise to some. Tesla temporarily halted all Cybertruck deliveries in mid-April due to reports that the accelerator pedal was becoming stuck, which led to Tesla recalling nearly 4,000 Cybertrucks.

Now some of the car's less favorable features have been called out in a series of clips posted by Junkins. 

One of his warnings goes to anyone who gets anxious easily, as he suggests owning the striking mode of transportation draws a lot of attention. 

'The Tesla Cybertruck is not good if you have social anxiety because people are always watching you,' Judkins said in a TikTok video he posted on April 17.

Jeremy Judkins explains why people who have social anxiety and are bad at parking might not want to splurge over $80,000 on a Tesla Cybertruck

Another potential, he explained, is that trying to park at a super charging station can be difficult. In one example, he was having trouble maneuvering the car without feeling like he was going to hit the one in front of him or the supercharger itself.

After two or three attempts, he said he was embarrassed, feeling people's eyes on him, and gave up even though he was at around a 20 percent charge. 

'So, I literally just parked in the parking spot, acted like I wasn't even trying to charge,' Judkins said. 'I walked and got some Starbucks and then I left and cam to another supercharger.'

Judkins most recent videos tackle the latest Cybertruck controversy: Its frunk - a.k.a. the front truck.

A number of people on social media began to notice in April that the frunk continues to close even if there's something obstructing it.

Judkins posted a video Wednesday where he positions various fruits and vegetables underneath the frunk as it closes. 

The door proceeded to chop bananas, carrots and cucumbers in half. 

One person in the comments of Judkin's video wrote: 'So it will cut off fingers still just not an arm.'

This comment, among others, prompted Judkins to post yet another TikTok on Thursday to see whether the frunk would indeed cut off his finger.

Spoiler alert: it didn't. But it came somewhat close.

Judkins explained that after he installed a software update, the frunk was then able to detect obstructions as it closed.

Even after the update though, the frunk closed pretty hard on Judkins' finger.

After he pried his digit out amid groans of pain, he said, 'I feared for my finger for a second, not going to lie.'

Tesla shares have plummeted since the beginning of 2024. The stock's all time high was nearly $410 back in November 2021

Other Cybertruck owners besides Judkins have been pretty outspoken about their issues with the vehicle. 

Some have described the outside of the truck as 'a fingerprint magnet' given that it has a stainless steel coating. Others have claimed that their trucks appeared to be rusting, which a Cybertruck engineer publicly denied on X in February.

'Stainless is reactive and free iron that sits on it will rust. It's surface contamination only and can be cleaned off easily,' Wes Morrill wrote. 

The often noticeably large gaps between panels on the exterior of the truck have also raised concerns among some Cybertruck owners. Tech YouTuber Marques Brownlee attributed this issue to its stainless steel construction.

Then there's also the freak cases of the Cybertruck failing right out of the gate.

Despite Tesla CEO Elon Musk touting it as 'apocalypse proof' that certainly wasn't true for entrepreneur Thomas Remo.

Remo shared a video of him picking up the Cybertruck only to have it break 'not even six inches off the lot.' It proceeded to fail another '30 times' throughout his first day owning it, according to Remo.

Tesla isn't having the best year so far, with Musk announcing in mid-April that he was laying off 14,000 employees, some of whom were on crucial teams involved with engineering the EVs.

Tesla shares are down almost 28 percent year to date.
