Well folks, we’ve seen a lot of wild wrecks at King of the Hammers, but this one? This one is special. In what can only be described as a world record for fastest off-road DNF, a Tesla Cybertruck met its untimely end in the parking lot… before a single rock was crawled or dune was hooned. See the photos!
I thought it was funny… if I have to explain the joke, though, maybe it wasn’t that funny!
Like, King of Hammers is just about the hardest off-road race there is. The hard parts of King of Hammers do not look like a parking lot. The hard parts look like the picture below. To get hit with a DNF in the parking lot is unexpected, and that’s the onion-y quality in my head. Again, the joke is not as good if I need to explain it.

“Totaled” is also the what people say for DNF at the race.
It’s not the same as “totalled” for a regular car in the context of a race.
No, but in this case it’s likely true.
