From this guy wearing an Apple Vision Pro on Fantasy Archivesthe 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 driversusing 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.

Showing what he's seeing inside the Vision Pro, the in-headset recording reveals a floating UI that lets the Vision Pro wearer control their Tesla. The driver is seen popping open the trunk by simply pinching his fingers.

"Tesla app works with Apple Vision Pro and it can become a phone key," Caleb said in an X post.

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 has garnered 17.2 million views to date, a Cybertruck driver is spotted wearing an Apple Vision Pro while driving.

"We're so fucked," said @blakestonks, the X user who posted the video.

“Never use Apple Vision Pro while operating a moving vehicle, bicycle, heavy machinery, or in any other situations requiring attention to safety,” Apple stated in a safety information memo. And yet, Vision Pro users don't seem to be listening to the Cupertino-based tech giant's guidance.

@TheGrizz_ posted a troll video on Instagram of himself exiting a Cybertruck and imitating the funky gestures one needs to navigate the VisionOS UI. "What is wrong with this generation..." his caption asked in jest.

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