Rage against the machine... [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

[Jhodgesatmb]

I’m as liberal as they come and I seriously have no idea why people act this way. It’s pathetic tbh.

I agree though I am progressive on some issues and conservative on others. I wish there were a ‘middle of the road’ party.

That is insane! I’m so sorry. I don’t understand why people have become so self engrossed and entitled. It is absolutely none of their business what I drive and for that matter the self importance in thinking that they get a say in Elon’s opinions is nuts. It’s called free speech. They aren’t allowed to endanger other drivers and destroy other people’s property. If you don’t like it, post a sign or buy a different car. It’s not mental illness. It’s a sense of self that’s is so engrossed that they think the whole world owes them something. It’s sad and I don’t think history is going to be very impressed with it.

The first person is just nuts or having a bad day. Or broke and mad at the Cybertruck, or just road raging like idiots tend to do for no reason.

I actually had more incidents like this driving in a Sienna mini van than I have in the truck. One guy stopped in the middle of the lane like that when I was driving. Then followed me to my house so I had to go down a different street so he didn't see where I lived. I could never figure out what I did. Sometimes I think it's just they think they own the road and have anger issues.

I’ve had similar done toward me but was apolitical, just thought electric was “gay”. Trump sticker on bumper. But majority has been anti-EM.

All in all there are a lot of triggers out there and who knows what will activate them. I bet you being on the road and in their way is enough to agitate them.

Important thing is to not let it be a footnote in your life.

Here is a picture of the type of behavior I normally get here in TX… little old lady taking a picture next to my CT. Had another couple ladies trying to take some pictures this morning too, didn’t get them on sentry because I was still backing into my parking spot. Guess they couldn’t wait to get a picture next to it lol

We feel the same in our state and own an FS Cybertruck and Model Y. But what are we supposed to do? I’m considering buying a Rivian and trading in the Cybertruck. I test-drove the R1T and it was nice, storage was awesome, not as unique as the CT, but it felt amazing to drive and not have people pointing or looking at me. I could have my windows down and music playing without feeling nervous about having people shout or flip me off. I knew if I parked, no one was out to key my car or spit on it. But I was worried about the growing pains of Rivian…although my CT has a PCS failure and has been in the shop multiple times, similar to the growing pain that Rivian has gone through. It’s a huge trade-off. I love my Cybertruck but hate the stigma and chronic worry. I’d take a hit in switching, but the offer from Rivian currently gives me positive equity. Maybe it’s time to leave the CT and Tesla universe. As a foundation owner, it’s hard because I wanted this truck so badly.

Don’t give up! Embrace the hate. I’m a female with 2024 Foundation Beast. I’ve never had a woman be rude to me. But some men, in lifted trucks or, my favorite, men in a Kia Soul), Dear God! Yes, PCS2 failure. But I’ll be with her til the very end. My CB has protected me in so many ways. People are way too distracted while driving. I might add, steer by wire has ruined me. So now what?! CB forever!

Tweet these clips and tag the local PD and Sheriffs department.

They love this stuff and will usually stop and have a conversation with the offenders.

In a couple years of ownership I've only had a few of situations like the "thumbs down" or being flipped off, but nothing like this (road rage). Each time, the persons seemed like they were have a rough time at life. Vehicle in very poor condition, bad hygiene or dress. One guy was on a beat up E-Bike.

I don't know, I guess when your life is in such a bad state you try to find an outlet your frustration. Honestly, I feel bad for them.

I had a guy in a cowboy hat driving a lifted pick up truck swerve into my lane aggressively. That was the worst thing that happened in the truck. That was early on in 2024 when I first got it and there were almost none on the road. Not sure if he lost control from looking at the truck or he was being an a hole. I reviewed the camera footage and saw that he went extremely fast to catch up to me then swerved.

If someone is driving aggressively and following you just put the closest police station into the nav and let them follow you there.

You don't have to leave the CT once you are there. If they are dumb enough to follow you, call the police from the parking lot.

There are tons of cameras in police station parking lots too. If there isn't a police station near by, the ER of a hospital is a second best option.

That is very ignorant to think that deadly force is justified for a simple break check. That would also be an illegal use of deadly force. I didn’t recommend that at all. I’m talking about the idiots that feel the need to personally confront CT owners, that’s when thing can get out of hand quickly. That’s the stupid games. Anything else you need me to explain to you’re like your 5??

Nah, steel bumper boop is preferred. Pit maneuver and continue on.

Move to Florida!

I’m in Michigan born and raised the people here are becoming stupider and stupider . That’s just the way it is , they have to blame others for their failures and poor life choices especially financial. Bunch of morons

 

[Oneangrymo]

Im waiting for something to happen to me, so I can sue and make a bunch of money then I can retire.

I have many guns and had two in the truck with me at the time (I'm a CPL holder). I was alone and returning from an awards banquet where I won 2nd place in the Sharpshooter pistol category across all of West Michigan. So yes, I'm prepared to defend myself, but would prefer not to engage.

The reason I caught up to him in the first place was to capture his plate on video. I probably shouldn't have done that but wanted to make sure I got his plate. The first video was auto-captured, which I didn't even realize. The second and third videos were split into separate videos with a small gap in between. I wasn't even sure my truck had fully captured the incident until I got home.

I considered going to the police but it was a Sunday, State police is 1/2 hour away, and I didn't want to risk my address getting out there. I did look it up online and got conflicting info about calling 911. Now it's been a few weeks after the fact...likely too late to report? I also got a good look at him when he jumped out of his vehicle at the side of the road to encourage me to engage him in a fight. I will just say that he fit the profile. We've had quite an increase in undocumented immigrants here in Michigan over the past 4-8 years. Can't say for sure he was undocumented but the orange tag was missing from the corner of his plate so he may not even have auto insurance and registration, let alone US citizenship.

I was following you very close until you decided to profile the person and attempt to label him as undocumented. We need to stay on subject and not try to find correlation to problem inside other problems. I am here in Texas, my first month of owning the CT was hell. 99.99% of all my attackers were white males and college level white female.

My first roadrip with the CT i took it to Oklahoma just to test the car. All my attackers were 100% Caucasians. One thing they all had in common was that they were driving beat up cars.
My daughter has a friend in school, she used to come to my house to play. The very first day i pulled up in the school with the CT, she told her daughter she is no longer allowed to come to my house. Yes! She is also white. I have no mean to profile any of those people in term of immigrations status.

What i can tell you is, countless white people and all other races had stop me to have decent conversation about the car. Smart illegal immigrants will not engage like that with you. They do not want to get arrested.

This person that was break check you is just sick, careless, lawless and ignorant. Most people who actually hate the CT are US. CITIZENS. So far the only country that does not go super crazy about the CT is actually the United States
