winespring livestreamed the Cybertrucksharrowing journeythrough the parade on X.
It doesnt take long for the boos, jeers, and beads to start flying.
From inside the Cybertruck, the sound of the beads repeatedly ricocheting off the car is a constant din.

winespring and MrMoonBound joke and make conversation, but theres an obvious tension inside the Tesla.
There were multiple Cybertrucks in the Orpehus parade, and none of them fared well.
Im just keeping everyone posted, someone in the winesprings truck says around 2 hours and 10 minutes in.
The sound of the plan is barely audible under the noise of beads striking the car.
Beads keep striking the car while they talk to the officers.
We put out a call with state police.
Is there any way we could move that barricade?
a person in the truck says.
The cops seem incredulous and confused.
Beads continue to hit the car.
We need to get off the route, the person in the Tesla says.
We were so excited when we were asked to do this.
Because we love New Orleans, winespring says, an air of sadness in her voice.
Weve seen John from Silicon Valley Tesla owners step on his windshield.
Weve seen a bomb go off inside of one.
Were OK, she says.
Im about to pull the medical emergency card here, a man says.
Weve gotta go.
I would imagine, eventually, the glass is gonna start breaking, a second man says.
If it already hasnt.
At the end of the video, the group pulls off under a streetlamp to assess the damage.
The Cybertruck is covered in beads, and the trunk is full of them.
The orange wrap seems undamaged in the dark of the night.
Hopefully everyone else is OK…well that was the Orpheus parade.
Sales of the vehicles aredown across Europe.
Its happening in America, too.
Over the weekend, someone set fire to a Tesla charging station inLittleton, Massachusetts.

Theres an anti-Musk mood in the air and an avatar for him on the streets of America.
