Unless you called the FBI, your local law enforcement has no idea. Right now that’s a Federal issue, not local. That said, I doubt anyone would consider that a violation since it’s not damaged. If it was keyed, that may be a different story and you should be able to get local criminal mischief, possible hate crime, and possibly the Fed Domestic Terrorism. But my guess is the Feds won’t do anything unless it involves arson or fire arm damage.
I called the FBI and the agent I spoke to told me to call local law enforcement. Ya I didn't think it was damage violation thing but thought maybe it feel under a terrorism harassment thing. Just was hoping the person who put this on my car would get a knock on the door from an FBI agent. I'm sure they have better things to do but doesn't hurt to ask.

Damn... nothing like having FBI bang on your door... carries a bit more of a pucker up moment than a local cop.

I'm sure there is an FBI agent out there who owns a Cybertruck. They might actually go knock on someone's door if someone messes with it :cool:

Nice. I was an EW3 on FFG3 and DD975 back in the 80’s. Back when the ceremony was straight up crazy with no worries about political correctness ?

Wow, lots of misguided people out there. Love the contradiction in the signs they carry now vs not that long ago *facepalm*
I am curious to know how other CT owners are responding to people showing fingers, disgusting signs etc on the road? Is ignoring and continuing driving the best way to handle?
As someone else mentioned. My front windows are tinted to match my back windows (still visible inside but more effort), I also have the minimal thermal tint on the front window but thats entirely for heat.

Smile, laugh at them, wave, any of these things show their hate is ineffectual. My wife has started blowing kisses at people that flip us off.

On a different note we had a blast at CHATTANOOGA CHARGE. If you haven't done a group light show yet they are the best!
heres a preview. When Simon gets the full video put together I'll put it somewhere on here.

Yep. Also back when we crossed over there were no women on warships so yeah it was fraternity hazing?. I knew I was in trouble
When the colors came down in the morning and the Jolly Roger☠ went up, &the XO comes down the ladder with ripped pants, a fake part on his shoulder and an eyepatch.
I said ohhh boy?

They were not raised right. I don't care how old they are. If their parents are still alive they should be ashamed of their kids.

The FBI agents have been instructed from the highest levels to take Tesla vandals and harassment seriously. i doubt you will be disappointed if you file an incident report. The FBI is on it!

Got to protect our American patriots!

Speaking with my wife today, and we decided that we would put aside $1 for every negative reaction and take the kids out for a treat whenever we had saved enough. The idea is to turn a negative experience into a positive one.

I doubt people will understand my kids excitement as they bounce around in the backseat after getting flipped off . . .

I got given the finger(edited for clarity ?). Waited for them to pass. And followed them for a bit. They did a few circles in a trailer park and then tried to out maneuver me pulling a 180° around a giant rock to go the other direction. They were probably expecting me to need a 3 point turn but the cybertruck followed with ease.... Than this exchange happened ?
