Real stamp. Generic label with only an address though, no name. Bottom black bar is the USPS barcode (wasn't sure if that includes any identifying information).

Someone is putting in a lot of work to show that they have feelings about what you drive.

Flattering.

Also from Grok

You can write “Return to Sender” on it and drop it back in a mailbox. Since there’s no return address, the post office will likely treat it as undeliverable and either trash it or send it to dead mail. It won’t go back to the troll, but it stops it from sitting in your mailbox.

good chance there is a thumbprint on that stamp.

My instincts tell me that the person sending these need their hard drive checked by the FBI.

Just postage and mailing address / name on the back. Nothing to identify. Nobody in my direct neighborhood has kids older than ~10. Most are families or retired folks.

I'm just surprised I keep receiving them every month or so and yet I've never seen them posted anywhere else. Either it's bad trolling or a really dumb attempt to buy used Cybertrucks given there's no discernable contact info.
My guess is it’s a friend or family member messing with you. I could see my friends doing this, or even me doing this. I might now send one to a buddy that drives a GMC, “Tired of paying $4+ a gallon just to drive a crappy GMC”.

I was never a fan of EVs and the media cemented my beliefs even though I never knew much about them. Now that I figured out how they work and how great they are, I started paying attention to the media, Youtuber's, etc. There is a concerted effort by the oil industry and ICE manufacturers who are now on the back side of the profit curve trying desperately to hang on for as long as they can. Youtube had a video rating self driving cars and Tesla was rated 8th out of 8. I watched it and it was such false information that I knew someone was paying these people to try to sway the population into hating Teslas.
Big oil has been trying to kill EVs, solar, and wind energy for decades. When I core dumped a bunch of the EV info I knew to Musk back in 2002, warnings on how they took over and destroyed alternative energy companies was part what I told him. I've been on the alternative energy bandwagon for over 4 decades. I've seen and heard about a lot that happened.

To destroy an emerging company, a few "investors" would buy in, and when they as a group had over 50% control they would oust the founders and mismanage the company into bankruptcy. Spending a few hundred million a year doing this is a cost of doing business to them. The retail sales of gasoline alone in the US only are in the $billions a day. A $100 million here and there is peanuts to them.
My guess is it’s a friend or family member messing with you. I could see my friends doing this, or even me doing this. I might now send one to a buddy that drives a GMC, “Tired of paying $4+ a gallon just to drive a crappy GMC”.
More likely some rando who thinks they are making a difference. See if you can find finger prints on it.

I've been receiving these postcards for several months (Ohio), but I don't understand their end goal. There's no website. No email. No phone number. The flip side is blank except for the mailing address and the USPS marks. The front is clearly AI. I've been hesitant to post this because I didn't want to give these people any attention. But has anyone else received this postcard?

I'm going to take a guess here, based on the size of the blackout box... that the blacked out section has your address, but not your name? If so.. I'd venture your troll literally just saw it in your driveway or in front of your house and is hassling you for no reason other than want to troll someone who owns a CT. A friend/family troll would know your name. ;)

Probably somebody on your street (or who passed thru regularly) with enough dislike and free time that dropping one in the mail every few weeks is just how they get their kicks.

Correct, no name. I initially thought maybe someone was trying to buy them used on the cheap by buying the same lists that the extended warranty companies use (and somehow forgot to put any contact info), but this is probably more likely.

Maybe it is just me, but the idea that my future Cybertruck will live in someones head and be the topic of their psychiatrist visits, warms my heart. I would keep the postcards, they may be worth something in the future. They prove just how iconic the CT actually is.
