From this guy wearing an Apple Vision Pro on the NYC subway to this gym attendee strapping it on while using the treadmill, in-the-wild social media videos of Apple’s new headset have been nuts.
What’s even more interesting is how many videos we’ve seen of Tesla drivers using the newly launched $3,500 headset. We’re not sure why Tesla-and-Vision Pro combo videos are climbing in popularity, but we thought we’d let you see them for yourself.
1. Apple Vision Pro doubles as a key for Tesla vehicles?
In one video posted by @iCaleb7, an Apple Vision Pro user is seen approaching what appears to be a red Tesla Model S.

As it turns out, according to Gizmodo, none of it is real. It’s a skit. Lentini told Gizmodo that he was only driving for 30 to 40 seconds with the Vision Pro headset.
Plus, he staged his car next to some unrelated police activity, making it seem like he fell into some serious trouble due to wearing the head-mounted display.
3. Apple Vision Pro and Cybertruck drivers
Vision Pro and Cybertruck are arguably the most futuristically quirky products to come out of Apple and Tesla, respectively, and we’ve been seeing both of them together across the social media landscape.
In a video that özgü garnered 17.2 million views to date, a Cybertruck driver is spotted wearing an Apple Vision Pro while driving.

Granted, most of the videos you see on the web are staged. But among the few that are real, I can’t help but wonder, Is this really our future?
