Moments after my wife saw and waved at another Cybertruck (so rare, and fun to see!), a teenager on the side of the road picked up a rock and threw it at our Cybertruck. Thankfully, the windows were up and it hit the steel, zero damage of course... but my wife was understandably upset by it.
She called me on the way home to ask what to do, and I suggested she just come home and then we call the non-emergency police line. We told the police what happened and that we had security footage and they came by to check it out. That, of course, turned into a little demo of the truck and using the sentry robo-voice to say "step away from the car". They were excited to see the truck.
The cops were pretty sure they knew the kids, and they also said they got a similar call earlier of another thrown-rock-at-car incident, very likely same kids. We asked if it was another Cybertruck, and they said it wasn't. It was a Honda.
So the police are going to use the video and have a strong word with the kids parents and hopefully set them straight? We're otherwise done with the incident, dumb kids doing dumb dangerous things. I think this is a form of long term karma for when I was a dumb kid and I thought it was a good idea to throw pebbles at a passing truck and instantly regretted it. THAT guy was SUPER pissed, but I was never caught. My best guess is that these kids are probably his grandchildren and this was his sweet, obsessively planned, 30-years-later revenge.
Anyway.
Anyone have anything like this happen? We've otherwise gotten 2 middle fingers from cranky twits, a thumbs down, and a couple of heads shaking 'no', which is "whatever". The other 99% of reactions are people in various forms of excitement, jumping, cheering, thumbs up, nodding, recording with their phones, craning heads, jaw drops, fully twisted bodies, etc.
Happy Friday all!
