Threads user frame-by-frame debunks Tesla flip stunt: the 'compressed air' is theatrical fog
gregmushen · x · 2026-10-17
gregmushen shared a viral Threads screenshot with the quip that the Threads community is "not doing well." In it, user @mrmtsenga claims that watching the Tesla Cybertruck flip stunt at 0.3x speed reveals multiple inconsistencies: the supposedly compressed air is actually theatrical fog, the thrust phases don't line up, and some "thrusters" appear in wrong spots like the front bumper and headlights — concluding the stunt is fake. The post is now being requested for a community note.
