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.
