Cybertruck vs Zombies 🧟
A zombie encounter might call for an escape plan. Under The Daily Downshift's Cybertruck Short, viewers are also wondering why one of the zombies seems more interested in dancing on the truck.
The upload has drawn more than 400,000 views in its first 15 hours, already several times the channel's usual full-day turnout for a Short. That brisk start comes while daily views across the channel are running at roughly half their usual pace: a standout video, rather than an across-the-board surge.
The comments offer their own survival suggestions, from a Venus flytrap to a different vehicle. Another viewer raises a more basic objection: having the truck is not much help without the keys.
It is another improbable motoring premise from a channel whose recent uploads include sleeping on a flying car and putting gasoline in a Tesla. This time, the audience's practical objections share space with questions about the zombie's dance moves.
