Public REACTIONS to Your Cybertruck (and Your Reaction)? [Admin Warning: NO POLITICS]

[Shoeless]

You have a good point. I’m not sure on the laws now but I’m not going to take this any further since it obviously did not damage any property and yes, I cannot technically prove it was intentional.

This guy is a well known loser in the neighborhood so I don’t think it’s just the Cybertruck. He roller blades in the middle of a 2 land road and flips people off when they try going around him and he refuses to move. I do love the windshield sprayer idea. I’ll post updates if the opportunity presents

Do you know what the hardest part about rollerblading is?
Telling your parents you’re gay

Had an old dude step out of his truck next to me at a rest stop and give me and my daughters a full bird salute. That one irritated me because my kids don't like riding in the truck anymore because of the hostility.

My trips to and from town are less than 10 miles, and it is a surprise when I don't get the finger.

I love the idea of saluting each other with the bird. That would make my day. If you see a Cybertruck in Whatcom County, WA with a Mars AG rack let it fly. You'll get smile from me.

I am starting to fall into the same category, I can handle a middle finger or getting screamed at, but when my family catches that collateral damage it is problematic. At some point one of these abused CT owners is going to snap.

Conceded....

I challenge all those against Tesla to obliterate their own Teslas, on their own property, in a safe (to everyone ELSE) way. Also PLEASE record and post all events on social media to show the rest of us how you have "exercised the demon" and removed it from your life!

In a way, they are! And it’s the dumbest thing ever! They’re dumping their Tesla’s to buy Rivians or whatever (constant posts about this on Reddit), flooding the market with cars and driving prices down.

Meanwhile, the people that they hate the most are now being encouraged to buy these cars by their political overlords and they’re picking them up dirt cheap. Exact same thing is happening with the stock. AND when this is all over, they will have made themselves poorer and their “enemies” richer.

They will be stuck with cars that don’t have full self driving capability and will have learned abso-fucking-lutely nothing!!!

Stupid is as stupid does! Can’t make this shit up!

There’s no way you can cheer them up. They’re driving a freaking Subaru for fuck sake!!!

Ummmmm I also drive a Subaru. Our 2021 Forester Sport is a solid car. Bought it while waiting for the CB, kept it as my husbands work vehicle. Not all Subaru drivers are awful, lots of us also have Tesla’s in the garage.

What? I said with all due respect?

all kidding aside stereotypes are bad but many of my negative reactions have been from Subaru owners. ??‍

I know, my fellow Subaru drivers really are insufferable and this is definitely true.


We make sure we give the full 5-finger wave and thumbs up when we pass a CT while driving it.

Had an old dude step out of his truck next to me at a rest stop and give me and my daughters a full bird salute.

Weeks ago, maybe end of Jan, early Feb, I was waiting to take a right turn out of the neighborhood and saw a bike on the sidewalk approaching. I wanted until the bike passed, and it's one of these older grungy guys on a kid size bike. He flipped me off with a superpower energy. He's a local "prohibited" person (lost privilege to operate a motor vehicle). So he rides around on a wrecked bike and spreads anger.

Dude's like this and the guy at the rest stop are just mad at the world. They are so unhappy that they lost themselves and are walking poison. I truly believe they can never come back from that. Human black holes. Best avoided and if possible, ignored.

Years ago, a company I worked for offered us defensive driving courses taught by retired CHP. Best thing I ever did related to driving.

They covered how to reduce the possibility of a road rage incident. One easy thing is when at a stoplight, don't pull up to the white line denoting the crosswalk, stay a few feet behind. That way, your driver's doors don't line up with the cars next to you and there is less possibility of eye contact with other driver's each side of you. Stagger yourself from lining up directly at any stop situation if possible. I've done that for years automatically. Not just driving a Tesla. Does it reduce unwanted hostility? I don't know, but I don't see it either when I can't see the drivers.

"TeslaTakedown" thing was an organic

I take NOTHING about the ongoing FUD, fear, frenzy, fracas, foment, and poo-flinging about Tesla is organic. It's all strategized.

This implies that only Foundation owners ever play the role of ambassadors for the Cyber Truck. Are you positing that the public sees the not-very-noticeable Foundation etchings and seeks you out for your expertise at the expense of any other CTs they see in the wild? The public has next to zero awareness of what a Foundation Series truck is.
This position seems very odd to me.

I’m only trying to communicate to Tesla what I believe is a reasonable request.
We should be allowed to use the $2,500 credit towards purchasing unlimited SuperchargIng, or at the very least as credit towards Supercharging!

thanks for your feedback

I can’t wait! I read the news daily for that to happen. I just don’t want to see any CT owner go to jail for it as he is taking one for the team.

 

[Pixelgeist]

I'm still open to getting the finger from other Cybertruck owners, but given the offensiveness of it all, maybe the spaceballs salute would be a better greeting to adopt?

 

[M0unt41nm4n]

This guy has always been a pain in my neighborhood but today he decided to spit on my truck. Maybe he should learn what side of the road to bike on!

I gotta hand it to you. You have more self control than me. I can handle middle fingers and thumbs down. But someone spitting on my truck crosses the line. I probably would have turned around, drove up next to him and spit right back on him… or thrown coffee or something. Sometimes these pricks need a lesson taught or their bell rung.

God bless your sense of control.

Absolutely! I was referring to the origin story- "peaceful" protesting at the delivery centers. I live in a very blue state, and I have some politically active acquaintances who are well intentioned, but mis-guided. I probably err on giving people the benefit of the doubt, but I thought it was possible that some well-meaning hippies decided to make some signs, and their actions got co-opted by worse actors.
I don't object to a person's right to peaceful protest. But this entire thing was a strategic operation. Maybe I was the only one obtuse enough to not know EN had masterminded this.

While dropping my wife off at Target. Someone said "I don't know why someone would buy that big stupid truck". That was of no concern to me.

I then parked toward the back of the lot, waiting for her and some guy with his lady friend drove over to me and pulled into a spot across the aisle facing me, just to get my attention and flip me double birds. I just shook my head and continued enjoying watching videos on the entertainment app. They were in what looked to be a car hit with several sledgehammers, rusted out, and on its last leg of life.

On a better note. As I was driving on Thursday some guy pulled beside me on the highway and honked to give me a thumbs ??! There is still hope.

Not all white people have a problem with CT but everyone that has a problem with CT is white. ?‍?‍?‍?‍?‍?‍?‍. Fight me
