    I think this one might be AI generated. I’ve seen a similar image showing fake cybertruck damage. /r/cyberstuck doesn’t seem to have a post about one cybertruck rear-ending another and it doesn’t come up when I google “cybertruck rear-ends other cybertruck”. The lighting on the left one reminds me of GTA 5 with a texture pack.

      Now that you mention it, it does look pretty fake.

      The great pyramid in the background was something I didn’t notice before. Also idk if Tesla coats their windshields with something, but that hole would definitely not be possible without either some sort of urethane coating or plastic insert.

      If this is AI, these are the best reflections and shadows I have ever seen on an AI photo. I may have to reevaluate using those to determine fakeness.

        It seems more CGI than real to me, but I don’t know if it’s AI-generated or a video game still. The damage model seems too advanced for GTA 5 but I know BeamNG.drive has a cybertruck model and lots of detail. Between the softness of the lighting and how jagged the lines are, it’s simultaneously too polished and too low resolution. And like EstraDoll said the tyres look really old.
