Singer Pharrell Williams, famous for hits like Happy and Get Lucky, has added a new chapter to his life by becoming the owner of Tesla’s impressive electric pick-up, the Foundation Series Cybertruck. However, the transition to his new vehicle has not been as smooth as his catchy songs.
Recently, Williams was involved in a peculiar situation when trying to park his Cybertruck in Miami, in front of a clothing store in the Miami Design District. The singer tried to maneuver his vehicle under the watchful eyes of curious onlookers and passers-by. Despite having a space available, the dimensions of the pick-up seemed to exceed Williams’ parking skills, who finally gave up the attempt and left the vehicle there.
Tesla’s Cybertruck, known for its futuristic design and remarkable dimensions, measures 5.68 meters long and 2.03 meters wide. Therefore, despite having enough space to park, it was not an easy task for Williams to park while mastering the proportions of this “beast”. Added to the stress of the moment and being watched by the crowd, the singer gave up.
This incident has not gone unnoticed on social networks, where witnesses of the event shared images and videos of the parking attempt, generating laughter among spectators. Despite cameras and sensors built into the Cybertruck to facilitate maneuvers, Williams preferred to hand over the task to a valet after approximately 10 minutes of fruitless attempts.
Mercedes-Benz did not miss the opportunity to take advantage of this curious episode. In a post on Instagram, the brand highlighted a unique element of its vehicles with a witty comment: “Our Active Parking Assist can help with that,” underlining the parking capabilities of its own line of vehicles.
Figures like Jay Leno and Alexis Ohanian have also been seen behind the wheel of this striking pick-up, demonstrating that, beyond its unique design, parking the Cybertruck can be quite a challenge, even for those who are used to being in the spotlight. .
