Right on! I am also happy to discuss or express excitement over the CT. Was exiting a CVS recently and this very liberal looking old lady was standing there just staring at it, walked right up to her, stood next to her and just casually asked, “what do you think?”
She opened with, “I’m not sure, Elon seems weird... is it yours?” Loll, I then continued to have a great convo about everything it can do, and the fact there’s an entire team of people behind its creation, showed her the adaptive dampers, the interior, steer by wire, and just talked Tesla. Turned out she used to be a flight attendant back in the day, couldn’t believe it was steer by wire, then she got into how she used to off road and owned a jeep CJ, and so on, and by the time we were done talking about 15 minutes later, she was psyched about it, sort of in awe. Super cool experience. I look out for these kinds of folks, curious and kind, it’s really most people, don’t get stuck in the hate bubble, I really believe it’s smaller than they want you to think.

I also allow folks to get in and see what's inside the CT, check out the seats and view. One things I do is I have PIN TO DRIVE set so any accidental hitting of the go pedal doesn't allow the CT to take off.0

PIN TO DRIVE is your friend.

I let an acquaintance drive mine this weekend using FSD and by the next day he was at the site configuring one for himself. He said he'll still keep his 3/4 ton for all the work stuff, but I'm curious after he sees how easy it is to pull a trailer which he'll choose to drive.

I always have people sit in it who ask about the ct. I have let strangers drive it depending on location and vibe. They are so shocked they drove a ct and it makes everyones day!
me too! The real magic is behind the wheel....

Shortly after acquisition I have always welcomed anyone to see it, sit in it, and if I know them personally I encourage them to drive it ( I’m also along). One cannot believe how much they change to a more positive attitude about a Cybertruck upon seeing the magic it provides in the driving experience.

The response I feel in driving it myself is uplifting but the reward grows ten fold when I see their enthusiasm as they drive it.
