Yes, I know Jalopnik has become all-clickbait, all the time. Still, I'll make an exception for this.
Cybertruck Crashes Into Crowd After Failing To Do Reverse Donuts
The Cybertruck backed into a crowd of onlookers, but it seems like everyone is OK.

It was only a matter of time before someone in a Tesla Cybertruck crashed into a crowd at a sideshow. While attempting to do some sort of reverse donut thing (I think) at a gathering in Chicago, a dark copper-wrapped Cybertruck backed right into a crowd of onlookers as a couple of people hung out the window of the stainless steel truck.
From the video posted by 773davo on Instagram over the weekend, we see the driver of the Cybertruck in the middle of a circle of people. He puts the truck in reverse in some sort of weird attempt to do a reverse donut, maybe. Thats where things go wrong. The driver immediately plows into a group of people, knocking a few of them over fairly violently. That makes sense. They did just get hit by a sharp 6,700-ish-pound monster. The driver then pulls away like nothing happened and you can hear the crowd screaming and yelling in the background.
