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

[cda05]

Love the meme. Accurate.

It's not worth the energy to engage with people who get upset at the site of a vehicle... Maybe they think Elon IS the truck, maybe nautical protractors haunt their dreams and so they just hate triangles, who knows what their stupid beef is. I feel like it was worst in the beginning, and now that people in my area are used to seeing them, maybe they've grown weary of being twits? Maybe? We can only hope. Also, after comparing notes with my wife, I think women driving a Cybertruck get more negativity. She believes people are less threatened by her.

Most of the bad behavior I get is from people who fall into a few of these categories:

1. White people? Pretty sure every case of mine has been a white person. I'm white, for the record. White people cray. Does this track with y'all? Or is it more diverse than I'm seeing.
2. More than one person in the car, egging each other on? Emboldened?
3. Gas car.
4. +15 year old cars (almost never from drivers of new cars or nice cars)
5. Subaru + Cargobox or other attachments + outdoor adventure stickers = definite mid-finger, thumbs down, or crinkleface.
6. Driving in a direction that makes any sort of direct confrontation impossible. Like opposite direction, or turning at an intersection. Dingleberries love these spots.
7. Last minute cry-babies. They throw a finger right as you're passing, and you have no time to react.

Hello,

I'm not white, but that's what I was observing when I drive my CT...crazy.

Lets hope most of this ends when Elon steps down from his DOGE duties at the Whitehouse soon.

I hope he doesn't stand down; he's the best man for the job.

Stopping domestic terrorism is a separate issue we need to swiftly deal with.

Mostly positive here but you can’t never know who’s here on vacation or passing through town etc. I only remember a few #1, one kid hollerd obscenities. I enjoy it, if I can drive something that makes you disgusted with me, BET! Hate me bc you ain’t me, suckers.

“special government employee” term is limited to 130 days. I’d rather see him manage his companies.

I got a “boooooo” from a car in an intersectio. I cracked up laughing cuz it seemed more humorous than angry.

I don't see why it matters. I mean, why would you care if mentally ill people are triggered or not? It's not something any of us can control.

Now the debt, that's something I care about. Because it's holding humanity (and the country I love) back. It's bad for all of us.

You do realize that being white in the United States is just statistically more likely than being white in many other countries? Also driving a gas car is also statistically more likely. So it’s not surprising that you’re getting flipped off by white gas drivers. If on the other hand, you told me that you were getting flipped off by mainly albino South Asians, driving hydrogen fuel cells then I would say something is up.

Y’all should put a bird decal on your CT for every middle finger you get just like the old fighter jets. Look at it as a badge of honor.

I LOVE this idea!!!! ????

How's everyone else fairing?

It has changed, people are back to loving the truck and telling me VERY enthusiastically! Thumbs up from motorcyclists, people giving me thumbs up at red light, then lowering their windows and telling me how much they love the truck, stopping in parking lots to talk and get a look at the truck. It is nice after all the crap you see in the news.

Same here. My former TRX would get more looks lol. I'm used to driving cars around that get attention and turn heads, so I may not be the best example. But in my Beast, no one even cares. Mine is even wrapped with 24s on it and honestly, people could care less. Just glad I love it !

That wrap is dope

 

[BeastieBoy]

I'm getting a decal for mine that says "I bought this before I knew you were crazy". But seriously I've just stopped looking at anyone while driving and it has brought me back to peace and a complete love of the CB. Now I just get people who come up and want to engage about how cool the truck is or if I have encountered any of the crazies out there. None of the crazies have any balls to actually come up to in person so as far as I know now, everyone loves the truck! Life is good!

 

[Outlaw1]

I don't care what you say, how you look, what you feel, or the gestures you give.....just don't touch my truck!

Touching includes bodily fluids, foreign objects, body parts (and yes that means butts), etc. ?
