A list of unusual behaviors around your CT

[Azarian]

I have a really good friend of mine that has been a good old country boy since puberty. He is the guy that daily drives and F-350 to haul used pipes from oil fields, and has a second truck that he has Frankenstein together as a rock crawler. He was making fun on my truck since I pre-ordered it (normally me following it up with something along the lines that all the cow patties have clogged your brain). We are good friends so ribbing each other has been a past time since we were in our teens.

When I got the beast, I asked him to drive it and give me a real reaction. I took it easy getting him to a spot for him to take it out. I did say that I wanted it as a truck for me (need a big bed that is secure and do not tow) and wanted something with a bit of pep that lives in the middle of a large city.

Lets just say he admitted he was wrong after the drive, that it was actually perfect for what I use my truck for.

The truth is CT is too standout to a point that even a person knows nothing about it prior knows it is not gonna be cheap. It cannot be simply mentally ignored like other super cars. It causes some pain for some people naturally. I was driving in the grandville ave in Vancouver bc, at one traffic light, people in the cross walk kept taking the picture/video of my CT, the problem was there was a rolls Royce SUV stopped next to me, it is almost half million Canadian dollar vehicle but no one took a glance on it at that moment!

I indeed sometimes felt sorry for the pain CT gave to some people. On the other side, all kids love the CT from the bottom of their hearts.

Nobody seems to care about it here anymore in the Orlando area. Maybe they still look but all the stupid behaviors are thankfully gone.

Here are some fun responses to those who have to give you negative comments:
Do it with a smile and a laugh - I have had people realize they were being an asshole and laugh back. Others got extremely angry and drove away all flustered. Both are wins.

"That thing is ugly"
- If I looked like you, I wouldn't call anything ugly.
- it may be ugly, but at least its not as ugly as you.

"you made a big mistake buying that POS"
- maybe, but not as big of a mistake as your parents made.
- you should probably take a break from the internet
- oh no I made a mistake? Thank goodness you let me know!

"that's not a real truck"
-you're not a real man.

I need some witty responses for these:
"That thing's gonna catch on fire"
"You have more money than brains"



Have some fun folks -

"That thing's gonna catch on fire" ‘Yea, Liar Liar Pants on Fire!
"You have more money than brains" That’s what my sexy young wife said too!

the sad thing is, I don't have the heart to tell them to stop touching my car at this point. It happens literally multiple times a day.

Doesn't bother me anymore. People are just curious about the hype for HFS. I've experienced touching, rubbing, knocking to get the feel for the toughness of HFS but not spitting! That's next level.

But majority in one group of people hate CT, they're jeep owners. They're the ones flipping, thumbs down, blocking me on left lane going parallel to a slower vehicle in right lane, never do courtesy yield when merging in a lane. One jeep owner in my circle always used to share news about CT getting stuck in sand, snow (towed by a Ford) and every other crap on net. But his face when I played the video of CT doing Hell's gate, priceless!

Watched a guy literally walk into a street sign face first trying to give me a thumbs up

Had a jeep driver run me off the road - don’t disagree.

Motorcycle drivers have been very negative too, but that’s fine - I don’t like them either ?

Yes… forgot to add motorcyclists! They shake their heads passing by, as if they don’t approve it!

Jeep drivers… OOF!
I pass one most mornings on my way to the gym at 7am and the guy driving goes out of his way to make demonstrative hand gestures showing his displeasure for my Beast. It brightens my morning every time I see him.

People at breweries put stickers on the truck.

It’s happened 3 times so far at different places. ?

I don’t understand the negative reaction with bikers.

when I can talk to a hater in person I make it a point to tell them I support America and that this is the most American made truck period. That shuts them up

There’s two different motorcycle groups here in Wyoming.

Folks who ride Asian crotch rockets love the truck. Lots of waving and thumbs up.

Folks who drive the big Harley type bikes absolutely hate it.

I get people that put hand prints right on the frunk. Like one big one. Probably just had dinner and hands are all greasy and sweaty.

I capture the touch DNA for future use. Never know when ya need to frame someone or something. Touch my truck. I will get ya back. Ya never know when they will match it all up.

Unusual times.

Do Ferraris get spit on?
Did Prius get spit on?
Do we see similar reactions on Rivian?

If all the above is no then is this just purely a Elon Musk thing?

I don’t understand it. I’ve had a model three for 6 1/2 years and 100,000 miles and never got a second glance

After a few weeks of CT ownership, I have 90% positive but have received A finger, a thumbs down, but otherwise otherwise positive and curious

I think it's because the design is so radical, and some people don't want to see it, and some people are so jealous they pretend to hate it to hide that. Probably also from hate of Elon.

Insecure and jealousy Vitamixed!

Why would someone be jealous of another person or his belongings. Either they are more beautiful, rich, successful….. list goes on!
