First of all, I would like to apologize to Tesla Cybertruck owners. Y’all have been through enough! You can’t go anywhere without people harassing you, the carwash could brick your truck, the accelerator pedal is faulty, etc. Now on top of all that, Raccoons are attracted to the Tesla Cybertruck. 

Tesla Cybertruck models are being attacked by raccoons 

Raccoons are often misunderstood creatures. They seem like cute, innocent trash bandits. But in reality, they’re smart and mischievous. 

Something about Tesla Cybertruck models calls to them and they have figured out how to break into the vault or truck bed to steal your snacks. 

One man was camping in the wilderness when he woke up to discover adorable raccoon paw prints all over his Cybertruck. 

Then he realized they did a significant amount of damage to the tonneau cover, leaving massive holes in it. For the record, the raccoons didn’t get inside of the truck for the snacks. 

However, now the tonneau cover needs to be replaced to make it ‘waterproof’ again. Who knows what that will cost and how long it will take? 

But come on, you never store your food in the car! That’s a massive camping mistake. A bear could have done more damage in less time. 

Raccoons appear to be confusing Cybertrucks with dumpsters

Also, how can the ‘armored’ Cybertruck survive an apocalypse or be driven on Mars if it can be damaged by a few cute (but dangerous) critters?

While it’s safe to assume that raccoons were interested in the truck because they wanted to steal some food, others are joking that raccoons are attracted to it because it looks like a dumpster. 

Other reports of Raccoons climbing on Cybertruck models are starting to pop up. You probably don’t want to leave any food in the vehicle. 

When camping, use the bear-proof storage bins at your site. Or bring your own bear-proof container and store your food at least 100 feet away from your campsite. 

Also, people have accidentally hit raccoons with their Tesla vehicles, resulting in split bumpers and huge dents. Raccoons are a bigger threat to Tesla models than you think. 

Now the internet has even more ammo against Tesla Cybertruck models because they’re laughing about the raccoon break-in attempt.
