Racoons Mistake Cybertruck For A Trash Can

The design of the Tesla Cybertruck has been divisive with some absolutely loving the avant-garde looks and others believing it to be a dumpster on wheels. Now the animals are weighing in and in the most honest ways possible.

Find out which celebrity couldn’t even park their Cybertruck.

A Tesla owner posted on the Cybertruck Owners Club forum about going camping overnight in Minnesota recently. Some racoons  tried busting into “the vault” or getting through the tonneau cover into the payload, likely because they smelled something good in there.

Photos of the damage shared by the owner, known as Spidog on the forum, shows the little critters tore up part of the edge of the tonneau cover but didn’t get through. They also left muddy pawprints all over it, making the identity of the culprits unmistakable.

If you know anything about racoons, the little rodents love to raid trash cans for food garbage. It’s seriously their favorite nighttime activity. So the only logical conclusion here is these racoons looked at the Cybertruck and immediately assumed it was a trash can. Or a dumpster.

Thus was have the unbiased opinion of the animals to help us settle the debate about what Tesla’s all-electric pickup truck really looks like. It’s a trash bin on wheels, folks.

Of course, the Tesla faithful are yet again acting like Elon invented the tonneau cover and was the first person ever to use stainless steel body panels on a vehicle. They seem to believe no other vehicle could withstand being raided by racoons like this.

But we know the truth: other than perhaps certain model years of the F-150 and Silverado, racoons would never mistake other pickup trucks for trash cans.

Next, we want to see how “the vault” holds up against a hungry grizzly bear. Anyone with a Cybertruck want to park it at Yellowstone overnight with plenty of yummy food in the bed?
