Cybertruck vs. Ferrari response from public

[Montezzy]

I’ve driven Teslas for 10 years and have heard every joke or criticism about the cars. None of it bothered me. It’s not my only car so driving my S once a week is really enjoyable. Perfect balance of vehicles (for me) is a Tesla model S (plaid) gen 3 Raptor, and an exotic car (Ferrari F8) just sold my Raptor and got my CYBERTRUCK. Absolutely love it and is the best Tesla yet. I’m completely used to the attention the exotic cars get (both negative and positive) I always encourage kids to sit in the Ferrari and have their parents take a photo. This happened to me when I was 10. Sat in one with my dad and said “one day I’m buying a ferrari” I hope I’m encouraging the next generation of entrepreneurs by doing this. I love cars and like talking to other enthusiasts.

Here is the comparison of driving the Ferrari VS Cybertruck. The Ferrari in general nobody gives a shit unless you are at a car show. I would get flipped off in it once in awhile and realized an important factor. Only drive it on the weekends. Only time I ever had a negative reaction in the Ferrari was when I was driving during the week and never on the weekends! I figured it’s something to do with people are pissed off at their jobs and have the Monday blues, and happy on the weekends? So I ended up not driving it Monday-Wednesday. I had a woman come up to me thinking she wanted to talk about how beautiful the car is (I mean the F8 is a gorgeous car!) but this woman full on goes really negative about why would I buy such a thing, the problems of massive wealth hoarding, income inequality.., she goes on and on… I told her I worked hard for this, it was a childhood dream, and by spending $400k on a car REALLY creates a lot of taxes and creates jobs. It was really bizarre to me how someone gets so worked up on someone’s purchase of a car.

Sooo now Cybertruck. Irvine delivery on Sunday: there was a Palestinian protest with easy 400 people there. They were not protesting Tesla, but this guy comes over to me with his camera on me while I’m taking delivery and starts yelling “fuck Tesla, they are a bad bad company, they are anti union” and lots of other bullshit while yelling and flipping me off. I just pretended not to hear him and continue with my delivery. I went from having goosebumps seeing my truck with my name on it to “get me the fuck out of here” I literally had zero time to talk to the delivery team. It’s hard to brush off assholes! But then there are genuinely happy reactions from kids, teens, neighbors. All of my (non Tesla) car friends all say it’s growing on them. They drive it and say wow, wasn’t expecting to like it this much! So I’m hoping the negativity is temporary.

I personally hated it on 11/22/2019 but the more I read about it, and got used to the design the more and more I liked it, and then LOVED it. It’s my favorite vehicle to drive! I was expecting the middle finger from the anti Tesla people, but not expecting people telling me “you’re an asshole get a real car, that thing is such a piece of shit!” That happened yesterday! Im really trying to not let it get to me, but I would NEVER say something like this to a stranger. What is wrong with people?! Staying positive though… haters gonna hate I guess, it’s a rad truck and absolutely love it. Getting windows tinted today and satin black wrap next week.

sounds like someone that just wanted to be mad at someone else. It’s not the normal reaction.

That's a beautiful Ferrari! Yes, don't know about all the drama surrounding EVs and Tesla in particular. I had a truck that some people might think was too old, and now this is too new. ha, whatever. The Cybertruck is a great vehicle that is already iconic.

Pre-Covid driving an exotic car was generally accepted, I previously owned an R8 (Sold in 2020) and I never encountered any negative reactions. However, given the current economic climate, I would not drive something exotic (sports car over 200k). Recently, a friend took his GT3rs to a local Cars and Coffee and it was keyed. It's important to recognize that many people are struggling financially, especially in SoCal with the cost of living so expensive. Seeing a vehicle worth multiple times their annual income can understandably stir resentment. While it’s true that many of us have worked hard to enjoy these luxuries, we must also be sensitive to the broader societal context.

Sorry You have got such a bad reaction. Just understand the level of jealousy it takes for a complete stranger to take time out of their life to say such a rude comment. That Ferrari is absolutely beautiful. I'm taking delivery tomorrow and I work in Irvine. May see you driving around sometime. Congratulations in getting your dream cars. No matter what anyone thinks or says We all deserve true happiness. As long as we appreciate the value and feel good when we lay down to go to sleep.

if you could afford a Ferrari you shoulda sprung for the Beast!

Just out of curiosity which specific product are you planning to use to wrap it? As I discovered, there are many different satin blacks and they vary quite a bit in shade, sheen/texture, & quality.

OP, I'm pissed just hearing about your delivery getting hijacked, I can't imagine how I'd feel if it actually happened to me. Like you said, What's with people??

Great job on trying to keep it positive!!

 

[OneDanik]

We randomly get flipped of on the road driving the CT, not sure what’s wrong with this people.

It wasn’t about the price as much as getting the truck early! Originally the beast showed late 2024 so I went with AWD. I have a plaid and figured the AWD was plenty of power. I’m pretty sure the film is XPEL

Drive on and welcome to the Wedge!

I find the best response in these situations is to just smile and say God bless you…then never give it another thought.

 

[DumpsterFire]

You said it yourself man. Haters gonna hate!

 

[CybertruckCovers]

I also got a lot of haters back in the day when I owned a Lamborghini Countach. I was broke down on the side of the road with it once, and people were laughing at me and saying things like, “aren’t you rich enough to afford a tow truck?” I’ve since sold it and hope the Cybertruck won’t get similar reactions.

 

[cyberstank]

I get random hate here and there but it's been mostly positive. id say its 80/20 but I think it depends on where you are. I just laugh at people getting angry, it seems to bother them even more. People are dumb

 

[Montezzy]

I felt this was a safe space to share my story! Thanks guys! Just got my windows tinted. MK mobile tint did a carbon ceramic 20% tint on the fronts for $280. They serve all serve Orange County CA.
