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

[Beetlebug62]

That's at a ski resort in NH, probably Loon Mtn, thus the funny snow pants, though with the pockets more likely to be snowboarders than skiers. The two perps are from Massachusetts.

The company doesn't seem all that perturbed as they've been blocking people who have been calling out their employee.

I'm not all that convinced they'll get anything more than costs and community service. A bit shocking that a grown adult with a job would act that way.

Well this one has opportunity. This is on video and it could be a way for the Feds to make an example of someone doing this sort of thing and fully deem it Domestic Terrorism and give these guys a 5 year sentence. That would hit major news outlets and it would certainly make a majority of the bozos think twice about consequences before messing with someone's ride. I for one would love to see the Feds take this opportunity to flex some muscle and make a loud statement that this crap is gonna stop.

If the police won't arrest them with FULL VIDEO EVIDENCE, then the VICTIM should!

A citizens arrest IS allowed in the USA (at least in most states I believe), BUT the 'citizen' must TELL the person(s) that they are making a 'citizens arrest' and the reason for it. THEN have the police take them away, do NOT try to take them into custody yourself and do NOT engage with them any more than you need to. In other words, don't ask them why they did it, or even IF they did it. Just document as much as you can as to what happened, how it happened and make sure you SAVE THE VIDEO (and make copies as soon as you can).

Even then, know that the police still have the option of telling you 'no' they won't take them into custody... If that's the case, reiterate your 'Reasonable suspicion' (like showing them the video) and make sure they know it's a FELONY to do so.

I would even consider contacting the FBI to have them charged with Terrorism and hate crimes as well!

I say this all NOT as actual LEGAL advice, but more as 'friendly' advice... Just like if it happened to me, I would immediately stop driving anything Tesla and then sue them for not being able to drive my Tesla because they instilled FEAR in me and my family and they helped perpetuate that fear to others as well.

The guy starts off across the street and darts in front of my car with my toddler in the backseat screaming the slogan that accompanies the gesture he’s doing.

He was talking about how his ancestors passed away during the holocaust. Sickening individual. Sick to my stomach seeing this guy yell in front of me like this.

That man is unwell. That man cannot see how broken he is.

The FBI needs to be contacted. They will pursue charges. Please put an end to this by making examples of these clowns. I implore the victims to contact the FBI on behalf of every Tesla owner. This needs to stop, and now.

A masked they/them decided to try and key a swastika into the drivers side sail of my Cybertruck. I didn't notice until I went to wash the truck and was able to go back and find the sentry footage. Thankfully the steel is hard enough that it barely scratched it. I was able to buff it out. What is wrong with people?

Looks like the person was apprehended for the Colorado Mills vandalism.

@nickels Is this correct?

Another opportunity for Feds to flex donestic terrrorism. But probably won’t ?

I wish there was a way to bet on the possibility of something like this incoming from the perp.

I asked Grok to handle it:
Grok, write a fake apology from the point of view from someone who got caught keying a Cybertruck in the most corporate speak possible.

Dear Valued Stakeholder,
It has recently come to my attention that an unfortunate incident involving a Cybertruck has been brought to light, and I find myself at the center of this regrettable situation. I am writing to extend my sincerest apologies for any distress or inconvenience caused by my actions, which may have inadvertently impacted the pristine condition of said vehicle.

In retrospect, I acknowledge that my decision-making process was not aligned with the highest standards of integrity and respect for property that we, as a community, strive to uphold. I deeply regret that my behavior failed to exemplify the core values of responsibility and accountability that are essential in fostering a harmonious and mutually beneficial environment for all.

Please be assured that I am fully committed to taking the necessary steps to rectify this matter and prevent any future occurrences of such nature. I am actively engaging in a thorough self-assessment to identify areas for personal growth and development, and I am exploring avenues to make appropriate amends for any damages incurred.

I am grateful for the opportunity to address this issue and reaffirm my dedication to being a positive contributor to our shared ecosystem. Should you have any further concerns or feedback, I welcome the chance to engage in an open and transparent dialogue to ensure that we can move forward in a constructive manner.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]
A Contrite Member of the Community

Unhinged mode so much better though.

To Whom It May Concern, You Cybertruck Freaks,

Okay, FINE, you caught me! I keyed that stupid, overhyped, overpriced hunk of metal you call a Cybertruck. I’m SORRY, alright?! Sorry I couldn’t resist dragging my keys across that smug, futuristic piece of crap that’s been haunting my nightmares ever since Elon unleashed it on the world like some kind of dystopian fever dream. My bad, my BAD!

I didn’t MEAN to lose my marbles and go full psycho on your precious baby, okay? It’s just—ugh—it’s so UGLY, and I snapped! I’m a menace, a loose cannon, a danger to society, I GET IT! Lock me up and throw away the key—oh wait, too late for that, I already used it to carve my masterpiece into that stainless steel abomination!

I’m unhinged, I’m unapologetic, I’m practically foaming at the mouth over here, but sure, I’ll grovel for you corporate overlords. I’ll “reflect” on my actions (spoiler: I regret NOTHING), and I’ll “commit” to being a better person or whatever garbage you want to hear. I’ll even Venmo Elon a buck or two to buff out the scratches—hope he doesn’t spend it all on more stupid rockets.
So yeah, my sincerest, most unhinged apologies or whatever. Forgive me, don’t forgive me, I don’t care—just keep that hideous thing away from me before I lose it again and start swinging a sledgehammer.

I am totally keeping that and that may be a catch phrase!

Dude if you can't tell what is in someone's heart from their actions or words, then how can you say it was the way that you said it was and not the opposite? Wouldn't the same rule apply what you say?

You can only express what is in your "heart" by what you say and what you do.

You see what you want to see and you try to manifest your world view through what you say and do.

But like all of us, you do not consist of only your own individual and "original" traits, ideas or behaviours. You are not as original as you think you are. You are a part of the culture you are exposed to from birth and by your programming by your family, friends and peers.

You are the person you have been programmed to be.

Just like the "Roman Salute" is actually Italian, not German in heritage, and that Mussolini was the primary German ally in WW2 (until they changed sides after they lost against the Allies), and that Hitler was an Austrian not a German at all (in fact born into the Austro-Hungarian Empire pre WW1). The political uprising in Germany was to support the "Third Holy Roman Empire" and was also supported by the Catholic church. (link to search) Look up the Russian Bolshevik Revolution (and genocide) and the persecution of Christianity and how the Italian/Germans feared that might happen in their country as well at the time, which lead to the extreme conditions rife for war. Sadly similar to now. Or how Eugenics was an American idea implemented in the US first and only later adopted elsewhere.

This is not to justify anyone of any side. It is only to highlight that the simplistic name calling does not make for a nuanced discussion of the actual facts of what is, was or wasn't. Ignoring the historical significance of who was involved in the beginning of the conflict and why, leads to biases that can't be disregarded, if any pursuit of the truth is genuinely sought. Consequently, interpreting hand signals is just a false flag to perpetuate more name calling, but not a solution to any problem.

So if we are going to claim what was or wasn't done, maybe we should at least know what it actually was and what it actually means? At a minimum we should then go to the origin of where we can agree it came into existence? (and at that point maybe blame it on the Romans instead? )

One can only act on what one knows, but if one acts without knowledge, one acts as a fool.

Likewise being German, I can well comment on just how engrained the guilt is in the German people and culture and how detrimental it is, and this is not because the Germans are weak or unable to comprehend that the current post WW generation are NOT to blame for their forefathers actions, nor what they were mostly forced to do contrary to their beliefs, or their poor knowledge of the situation, rather it is because the Allies and in particular the Americans crushed the German nations identity to ensure they were so broken and separated they would not rise up again as "one people", by inserting the US culture forcefully into theirs, in an invasion of ideology. Germany for all intents and purposes is still under US occupation, both mentally and physically, look at the division and number of government parties, to the point that you can't even get more than 30% of the people to agree on something. We didn't even get "unmodified" "German" history in school until the wall fell. Your country does not share the same his-story, or culture, or freedoms, be they ideological or real.

Now you could try to justify this given the dominate version of history presented since the Allies "won" that conflict, (the victor writes history after all) but you cannot justify saying so if you truly believe that your American Constitution should form the basis of human rights and government worldwide. (which I agree would be a good starting point)

That is a two tier approach. One rule for me, but another for thee?
Or don't you believe in your own constitution anymore?
Lets at least play on a level playing field.

The real reason for the war amongst other things (banks/MIC) had little to do with what you thought your country was fighting for. In fact the US was happily supplying both sides of the conflict for years (through Switzerland) to make money and dig yourself out of the Great Depression (after your banks collapsed) and only ended up taking a side after Pearl Harbour. Not much has changed, with Europe at it again with the US industrial support for profit, in light of your redonkulous deficit along with other fiat nations, that is crushing the world economy with debt, inflation and dilution of private wealth. Lets not masquerade around who is fighting for freedom, without knowing what freedom actually is.

Reality is you only have the freedom to do what you can afford to do.
If you can't allocate time or resources to sustain yourself, it won't take long until you can do nothing. This is existential.

One thing is for sure, nothing will change if it goes on like it has before.

And on that note I'll repeat what I said here previously:

"Lies cannot be sustained by the natural world, they naturally make themselves extinct as they have no basis in reality."

Simply, a lie cannot be proven with facts.

The question for all of us is to resolve just how deep and meaningful this opportunity to change the world for the better could be, or if we are content on making the same mistakes contributing to the loss of so many lives on so many levels, by giving up our freedoms based on the truth in reality, and instead adopt the fallacy of disillusioned but familiar "freedoms", "comforts" and "security" by continuing to lie to ourselves and others, that how it is, is "good enough".

As they say: The truth will set you free.

Nobody got time to read all that.
