Trotro Driver and Mate Abandon Bus with Passengers to Take Photos with Tesla Cybertruck
In a surprising yet humorous turn of events in Accra, Ghana, a trotro driver and his mate stopped their fully-loaded minibus to catch a close-up view of a Tesla Cybertruck that had just pulled up nearby. The sight of the futuristic vehicle caused a stir among both passengers and passersby, who were intrigued by the truck’s unique design—a sharp contrast to the typical vehicles on Ghana’s busy roads.
The incident occurred in one of Accra’s bustling districts, where the Cybertruck’s appearance was an unexpected sight. Tesla vehicles are still a rarity in Ghana, making the Cybertruck—a model known for its unconventional design and robust build—even more of a spectacle. The trotro driver and his mate, clearly fascinated by the vehicle, quickly put the bus in park and joined a growing crowd of onlookers who were taking photos and admiring the truck.
Witnesses report that the passengers were initially taken aback, especially since trotro rides are known for their punctuality and efficiency in navigating Ghana's often chaotic traffic. While a few passengers waited patiently, others disembarked to get a closer look and snap photos with the vehicle, which has gained a near-mythical status due to Tesla’s limited market presence in Africa.
This moment sparked conversation on social media, with many amused by the lengths the driver and mate went to see the Cybertruck up close. Some users praised the driver and mate for their “boldness” and humor, while others questioned their professionalism, reminding them of their responsibility to their passengers. Nonetheless, the lighthearted nature of the event drew smiles, with many Ghanaians relating to the excitement over seeing a groundbreaking, high-tech vehicle like the Cybertruck in person.
The episode highlighted a larger trend in Ghana and other African countries, where tech enthusiasts are increasingly aware of, and eager for, advanced automotive technology. Despite the Cybertruck not being available locally, such incidents underline how globally connected Ghanaians are with innovations happening worldwide.
In the end, the trotro driver and mate returned to their bus, resuming their route, albeit a little delayed. For the passengers and bystanders, however, the sighting of the Cybertruck—and the trotro crew’s reaction—was a memorable moment that added a bit of unexpected joy to their day.
