edit: I didn't realize that there was more than his stalled car and the rap video. If you keep watching he posts the legal correspondence from Tesla. It does appear that Tesla did exactly what the headline says. Flame away

Read the letter in the video. Are you claiming that's fake?

Specifically, this concerns your use of the Tesla Cybertruck name and imagery in one or more songs, including but not limited to the track titled: >"Cybertruck" The letter is a hint of proof.

The message on the screen literally says "COMPLY WITH CEASE & DESIST TO REACTIVATE".

  You can make your tesla show whatever you want it to show on the screen. I'd bet $1 that this is a rapper clout chasing and has absolutely nothing to do with Tesla itself.

    If he's not in legal trouble, this would get him in legal trouble in a pretty open and shut way.

The screen on the dash says "Comply with cease and desist to reactivate", which indicates that the vehicle was disabled by Tesla because of a legal dispute rather than a technical issue. The letter says that the vehicle was deactivated "due to violations of Testa's Terms of Use, Including misuse of Testa's trademarks and brand identifiers in media content that falsely implies endorsement, sponsorship, or affiliation with Tesla." It could be fake of course - I'd probably regard it as fake until I saw some corroboration, but saying that "It is just a video of a cybertruck broken down with software issues" is wrong. There's no evidence of a software issue in the video, but there is evidence of a purposeful de-activation due to a dispute over the use of Tesla's trademarks.
