ELON Musk's "indestructible" Tesla Cybertruck has endured a troubled first six months on the road following massive crashes, getting stuck, broken wheels and reports of "critical steering issues".
Many of the blunders appear to have been caused by driver error as overzealous owners attempt to put the 7,000lbs machines through their paces off-road.
And the clips have gone viral - much to the delight of billionaire Musk's online critics.
The massive slab-shaped vehicle has previously been dubbed "indestructible".
Its creator unveiled the bulletproof car back in 2019 - and even then it had a difficult beginning as he smashed one of its windows.

The latest mishap came just days ago when footage emerged of one of the futuristic machines becoming stranded in a California river.
Video uploaded to YouTube captured the moment a Tesla Cybertruck tried and failed to traverse the body of water in Azusa Canyon on Sunday as its tyres quickly submerged.
Following several failed attempts to gain momentum to make it up the other side of the bank, a Silverado pickup truck allegedly had to pull it out of the water.
Why the Cybertruck was in the water in the first place remains unknown, but it didn't take long for viewers to mock the driver for their embarrassing blunder.
One actually slammed them for taking an electric vehicle into water, while another claimed it's suspension and tires "are not meant for off-roading".
It comes after a slew of other incidents involving the slick machine have gone viral.
One clip showed a Cybertruck having to be pulled to safety after become stuck in the mud at the opening of a new Telsa lithium refinery.
And another showed one of the vehicles having to be pulled to safety after getting stuck on a snowy embankment while collecting a Christmas tree.
In March, a driver demanded Musk provide them with a new Cybertruck after ramming their vehicle into the iconic Beverly Hills Hotel sign.
Philadelphia rapper 2Rare claimed to be the driver of the truck that crashed into famed hotel, blaming their valet service for the crash.

Pictures showed the Cybertruck wedged in and amongst some bushes below the infamous Beverly Hills sign, with the back end of it still on the pavement.
Perhaps the worst part, however, was how the stainless steel "cyberbeast" had its door ripped off during the 2am crash.
The ordeal prompted a response from Musk, with the Cybertruck creator and Tesla CEO saying: "Cyberbeast is faster than a Porsche 911, but looks like a truck, so perhaps the valet wasn't expecting so much acceleration."
He had previously described the Tesla supertruck as having "crazy torque, dynamic air suspension, and corners like it's on rails."
Around the same time, another driver got their Cybertruck stuck on the beach after ignoring a "No Vehicles on Beach or Dunes" sign.
The ordeal was recorded by a bystander as the driver talked with firefighters while his Cybertruck lay stuck in the sand just yards away from the sea.
The men eventually began pushing the hefty vehicle back the way it came to try and get it off the beach.
The woman recording the video claimed the driver was "livid" but branded him a "dumb***" for attempting to drive on the beach.
Flaws have been found in the Cybertruck's wheels caused by their aerodynamic covers.
The futuristic wheel covers reportedly caused wear on the tyres, which could lead to surprise punctures and "blowouts".
Tesla has since taken action to solve the problem - and is shipping the vehicle without aero covers.
One driver who decided to take their Cybertruck to a desert-racing tournament suffered a problem when one of his wheels broke off.
One image showed the wheel hanging off the vehicle - before another close-up picture showed it had come off completely.
Just before the Cybertruck went on the market, one of the vehicles was captured making a meal of driving uphill while being put through its paces on a 4x4 testing track.
In the clip, the Cybertruck appears to struggle going up an incline with the ute’s tyres spinning as it tries to maintain traction on the dirt track.
Tesla has also experienced issues with its accelerator pedals, leading the company to recall thousands of its new Cybertrucks over safety fears last month.
The accelerator pedals had become at risk of getting trapped by the interior trim, increasing the possibility of crashes.
Dan Ives, senior equity analyst at Wedbush Securities, told The Guardian: "This is another black eye for Tesla, which has added to the chaos going on for Musk.
"Cybertruck is the pedestal moment and a recall out of the gates is a bad look."
But steering issues have also set alarm bells ringing for drivers.
One person recently uploaded a video to social media of their Tesla flashing a red warning sign on the dashboard because a "critical steering issue" was detected.
The vehicle warned passengers to fasten their seatbelts and "pull over immediately", before a second warning saying a "loss of system redundancy" was detected appeared.
The driver claimed that walking away from the vehicle and coming back seemed to resolve the issue, but described the ordeal as "strange" nonetheless.
Tesla has been contacted for comment.
