The accident was minor.

Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk on Saturday evening drove his brand-new Cybertruck in Malibu, California, and was involved in a minor accident. Gizmodo reports.

The billionaire could not avoid being noticed — passersby immediately began filming both him and his car. Some videos show Musk knocking over a traffic pylon while leaving a restaurant.

Some users jokingly asked whether it had been Autopilot.

However, one photo clearly shows that Elon Musk was indeed behind the wheel.

It is noted that the incident may have happened because the Cybertruck apparently lacks basic safety features, such as side mirrors and windshield wipers, which limits its capabilities.

Musk unveiled the futuristic electric pickup Cybertruck on November 22. Depending on configuration, it will cost between $40,000 and $70,000.

In the first 2 days the company received 146,000 preorders (now more than 250,000), although only $100 was needed to reserve. Later Musk explained why the Cybertruck is flat.

The police in Dubai and Mexico also plan to buy Cybertruck vehicles.
