> It's a ball. It's fun. It's a ball. All that's missing is about 3 more README's of warnings and disclosures ending with "Do not taunt Ball." [VIDEO]

> The Cybertruck’s owners manual does caution against ever washing the truck in direct sunlight, and there is a section expressly mentioning that the truck has to be switched into “Car Wash Mode” before washing to avoid damage to parts of the vehicle. Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball. [VIDEO]
