An abandoned Tesla Cybertruck left on the streets of Seattle, Washington, has now become an unlikely tourist attraction.
The wrecked EV truck-turned-landmark, now even has its own Google Maps pin entry.
So, what do we know about this abandoned Cybertruck?
For a start, it has serious damage to its left rear area and also suspected suspension failure.

Abandoned Tesla Cybertruck becomes tourist attraction
The abandoned Tesla Cybertruck has been sitting on the side of the road in a busy part of Seattle, Washington.
Although we have seen hundreds of Tesla cars abandoned in a field by Tesla, this situation is something else entirely.
Since the EV truck broke down, it has become a meme tourist spot and become known as “CyberStuck” with its own subreddit page.
Jokingly, some people have even set up makeshift memorials for the Cybertruck.
Unfortunately, the EV has since been reported as an abandoned vehicle to the city.
And since then city officials have told its owner that the truck will be towed unless it’s moved.
Tourist attraction gone
An orange sticker was also placed near its windshield wiper giving the owner a deadline to move the vehicle.
According to another Reddit post, the EV truck was eventually towed in the middle of the night.
But it isn’t clear if it was the city or the owner who towed it.
One Redditor also claimed they ran into the owner of the abandoned Tesla Cybertruck.
“I went by there this evening on my way to dinner. The owner was outside and was not happy we were there. He said a kid hit his CT a few weeks ago and was still trying to figure out the insurance to get it fixed,” the Redditor said.
“He said people had been harassing him and his wife the past few days and he didn’t understand why. We told him his truck was all over Reddit and he got even madder. We left pretty quickly.”
Hopefully, the owner was able to get insurance for his wrecked Cybertruck and put all of this behind him.
But it was a bit of fun while it lasted, and it certainly gave the city of Seattle something to talk about.
