Ghanaian business magnate Dr. Osei Kwame Despite found his state-of-the-art Tesla Cybertruck challenged by the rough roads of Tanoso during a funeral procession.
The incident, captured on video, has since gone viral, igniting discussions about the suitability of high-end vehicles on Ghana’s often dilapidated roads.
Dr. Despite, the CEO of Despite Group of Companies, was attending a funeral service alongside members of the East Legon Executive Fitness Club in the Ashanti Region. While navigating the narrow and uneven streets of Tanoso, his GH¢1.6 million Tesla Cybertruck encountered difficulties, momentarily getting stuck in a tight corner.
The businessman, with assistance from his associates, managed to maneuver the vehicle out of the predicament and continued on his way.
This isn’t the first time Dr. Despite’s Cybertruck has made headlines. Previously, he was spotted driving the futuristic vehicle on the streets of Accra, drawing attention from onlookers and even being stopped by Motor Traffic and Transport Unit (MTTU) officials due to the car’s unregistered status at the time.
The Tesla Cybertruck, known for its distinctive design and advanced features, including a bulletproof exoskeleton and long battery range, is a rare sight in Ghana.
Dr. Despite’s acquisition of the vehicle marked him as the first Ghanaian to own one, further cementing his reputation for opulence and a taste for luxury.
The recent incident in Tanoso has sparked conversations online, with many questioning the practicality of such high-end vehicles on Ghana’s challenging road networks.
Some social media users expressed amusement, while others highlighted the broader issue of infrastructure development in the country.
