Even the most famous among us can find themselves in unexpected situations, as Ben Affleck recently discovered. The actor, known for his roles in films like “The Batman,” has a reputation for encountering car troubles, from minor fender benders to more serious breakdowns.
This weekend, Affleck’s latest automotive mishap occurred while driving his new Ford Bronco. Accompanied by his son, who was also dressed in a suit, Affleck’s vehicle seemingly ran out of power or encountered some mechanical issues.
The father son duo found themselves stranded on a Los Angeles freeway, forced to make do with their phones, snacks from a nearby gas station, and eventually, a ride from a ride-sharing service.
The Bronco was towed away, leaving Affleck to contemplate his latest unfortunate incident. Ben Affleck’s 50th birthday gift from his ex-wife, Jennifer Lopez, a stunning Seafoam Green first-generation Bronco, has been making headlines again. The electrified SUV, a Luxe-GT model from Gateway Bronco, was a luxury purchase at nearly half a million dollars.
However, Affleck’s recent car trouble incident has sparked a wave of online mockery. Reportedly, the Bronco ran out of power, leaving Affleck stranded. This mishap has added fuel to the already tense divorce proceedings between Affleck and Lopez.
The incident has also brought attention to the challenges of owning an electric vehicle, particularly in terms of range anxiety. While the Bronco’s estimated range of 300 miles should have been sufficient for most trips, Affleck’s experience highlights the importance of careful planning and charging when driving an electric car.
The incident has also led to speculation about Affleck’s driving habits. Some have questioned whether he may have been neglecting to charge the Bronco regularly or whether he may have been pushing the vehicle’s limits. Regardless of the cause, the incident has certainly added to Affleck’s growing reputation for car troubles.
