The Dobre twins have faced some controversy. In 2020, they came under fire for pulling a prank on friends where they pretended to fall asleep at the wheel of Tesla. The car had been put on autopilot. The twins came under fire because the Tesla Autopilot feature still requires the driver to be awake while the car is driving.
