Ben Affleck's Electric Bronco Breaks Down, Needs to be Towed Away
Affleck and his son experienced a car malfunction in his custom electric Ford Bronco, leaving them stranded on the side of the road.
Hollywood star Ben Affleck found himself in an all-too-familiar situation when his electric Ford Bronco broke down in Los Angeles. Over the weekend, the actor was accompanied by his son Samuel when their Seafoam Green Bronco suddenly malfunctioned. The two were dressed to impress in matching blue suits, suggesting they were heading to an important event when the unexpected happened.
This latest incident isn't the first time Affleck has faced vehicular woes. Despite driving a state-of-the-art Ford Bronco, he has earned a reputation for frequently running into car-related problems. Whether it's fender benders or running out of fuel, Affleck's mishaps seem to have become a recurring theme. On this occasion, it's unclear whether the vehicle ran out of battery or experienced a mechanical failure, but the result was the same: father and son were stranded until roadside assistance arrived.
The Bronco Breaking Down: A Reflection of His Personal Life?
Affleck's Bronco isn’t just any vehicle. The retro-styled car was a special birthday gift from his now estranged wife, Jennifer Lopez, marking his 50th birthday in 2022. Underneath its nostalgic design lies cutting-edge technology, courtesy of Gateway Bronco. The Luxe-GT model, personally selected by Lopez, comes with a hefty price tag of around $465,000. Powered by a 400+ horsepower electric motor, it can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in about four seconds. Its 300-mile range makes it a formidable ride, though evidently not immune to trouble.
While being stranded on busy LA streets might seem like a nightmare, the Affleck duo handled it with surprising calm. They were spotted scrolling through their phones and taking a quick break at a nearby gas station for refreshments. Their relaxed demeanor suggested they were unfazed by the disruption, though it surely put a damper on their plans. After roadside assistance arrived, the Bronco was towed away for repairs, leaving onlookers wondering what exactly had gone wrong.
Social Media’s Reaction
As soon as news of Affleck’s roadside trouble hit social media, it sparked a wave of memes and jokes. Given Affleck’s history of car mishaps, it wasn’t long before the internet turned his latest setback into yet another punchline. Though the exact nature of the breakdown remains unclear, the online world was quick to poke fun, much to the likely dismay of the actor, who has faced similar public scrutiny in the past.
