The Stanford University band, which courts controversy as a matter of course, took aim at Elon Musk’s Tesla Cybertrucks on Saturday, mocking the oft-recalled vehicles’ safety record and clunky design. The show, which took place at sweltering Stanford Stadium during halftime of the Stanford-Virginia Tech game, even featured someone stumbling around in a Cybertruck costume.
As the Stanford band performed “Life in the Fast Lane,” the cardboard Cybertruck zoomed around the field. The accompanying narration called it a “thing [that] looks like a 3D model of a DeLorean rendered using a fax machine’s graphics card” and “a kindergartner’s art project.”
When the narrator asked about the Cybertruck’s many safety recalls — a fifth one this year was just issued for problems with the rearview camera — the human Cybertruck waved away the concerns.
“They probably caught everything,” the Cybertruck proponent said. “Here, just watch it go into autopilot.” This prompted the Cybetruck to smash into the Stanford Tree. As a finale, a person in a raccoon costume attacked the Cybertruck, presumably because it “mistook it for a dumpster.”
Unfortunately for the band, few people witnessed the spectacle. Because of the relentless Bay Area heat wave, fans headed for shade during the intermission. The temperature was in the mid-90s much of Saturday afternoon.
The official Stanford band X account posted the halftime script, accompanied by one last dig at Musk: “If we disappear from twitter you’ll know why lol.”
