I am a day 1 reservation holder. Immediately fell in love with the cybertruck. I followed every news story and article since. I was so excited to pick it up. I think I had the truck for an hour and this guy flipped me off at a stop light for no reason. I was like that’s strange. Next day driving to bank atm this lady shakes her head at me gets my attention to roll down my window. I thought maybe I cut her off in line at atm or something. Roll my window down and she proceeds to tell me how ugly my car is. I have had an event like this almost daily in the Denver Metro Area Does this affect me? No. But it is so strange and sad how negative people have to be. Even companies that I used to respect like Jalopnik and enjoy reading their content seem to have a very unfair opinion that I believe is feeding this cyber hate.

I've been all over Wyoming, Utah and Idaho in the last two months. No birdies for me, that I have noticed anyway. In fact I got a real nice comment today by a lady who asked permission to take a picture.

It’s because Elon acts like a child.

I get these reactions every day. It’s just part of being a Tesla owner I suppose.

Hippie chick today pulled up next to me at a light, looked me right in the eye, and then drove off disgusted.

It was probably because a blew her a kiss ?

I’ve had my new CT for five days. I’ve had two people flip me the bird and today, I got my first thumbs down. I’m driving respectfully and within the speed limits. I haven’t cut anyone off or been aggressive in anyway. No wrap or tint. What’s up? Anyone else get this treatment? Any idea why? Hate the CT? Hate Tesla? Hate Elon?
For the record, 100% of kids absolutely love it. At least 4 times in the last two days I’ve had excited and screaming kids wanting a look, or taking a picture.

I guess they’re not old enough to have found Reddit yet ?‍♂

About 8-9 times. Interestingly enough, after 11k miles and road trip from Virginia to Texas, it’s all been in one city in Northern, VA. I have 5% side windows, 20% windshield, and I don’t roll my windows down for anyone.

Central Maryland, too blue. Get lots of likes and compliments and picture takers and questions from people that can’t all be red. One or two goofball expressions or head shakes from drivers, but there are aholes everywhere.

Young kids love it (I guess a lot of them play Fortnite or whatever game it’s in), and I’ve had their parents ask for a picture of the truck with the kid next to it (maybe it gives the kids creds to be seen in a photo next to a real one). Older kids have mixed reactions. Someone said that for some game where one can build a Cybertruck as an element of play, some other players have decided to gang up on them in the game.

All the time. It was annoying at first but now I just laugh. The truck is great, I’m so over everyone at this point I could not care less what anyone thinks.

Kids have the best reactions. Their jaw drops like a cartoon character and they point like Donald Sutherland in "Invasion of the body snatchers"

Here I thought someone had a bird, and they were trying to fit in the Cyberbeast.
Sir, you’re looking for OnlyFalconers.

No. It's because people use that as an excuse to justify their feelings.
Oh ok, you go on thinking what you want ? they literally spare no time telling me exactly how they feel about Elon on a daily basis.

I mean, I agree with them. But it is what it is.
