Gilbert Arenas Says Cybertruck Malfunction Caused His Son’s Car Accident
Written by Site Hub on May 23, 2025
Gilbert Arenas, former NBA All-Star, revealed on the podcast “All the Smoke” that a malfunction in a Tesla Cybertruck caused a life-threatening car accident involving his son, Alijah Arenas, a top high school basketball prospect. The steering wheel reportedly failed, leading the vehicle to crash into a tree and fire hydrant. Alijah was trapped for ten minutes before bystanders rescued him from the burning car. He was placed in a medically induced coma due to smoke inhalation but recovered a week later. Arenas stressed the importance of equipping cars with emergency tools like window breakers, especially for young drivers. The family expressed gratitude and described Alijah as resilient and blessed to have survived. The incident raises concerns about the reliability of early-model Cybertrucks and reinforces growing scrutiny on Tesla’s product safety.
