Elon Musk responds to Tesla Cybertruck crash into Beverly Hills Hotel sign [View all]



The incident happened just before midnight on Mar. 3. The famous hotel is at the intersection of Sunset Boulevard and North Beverly Drive.

The nearly 7,000-pound stainless steel vehicle hopped the curb and came to a stop with its two front wheels on top of a concrete landscaping wall. The truck sustained significant damage to its front left wheel, as well as damaging the poles that hold the sign.

On X, formerly Twitter, Elon Musk, who owns the social media platform, responded to the crash.  “Cyberbeast is faster than a Porsche 911, but looks like a truck, so perhaps the valet wasn’t expecting so much acceleration,” he said.  

Initial reports about the crash claimed the Tesla was being driven by a hotel valet, but that later turned out to be untrue.
