Got bombarded by kids at Chick-fil-A, all in total awe of this machine. They were inside/outside/upside down on the truck. One of them came up to the window and said “rev it!” I wasn’t sure how to respond, so I just said “it doesn’t rev, it’s electric.”

He looked a little disappointed. Kids are so innocent.

I usually turn up some music with some deep bass when the kids say "rev it"! They tend to enjoy that. :)

lol I envision kids in 20 or so years playing with hot wheels cars and making a quiet “verrrrrrr” sound of an electric motor instead of the vrooms of a gas engine.

Honking the Cybertruck horn is probably a good alternative, we still haven't upgraded to it because we're strangely weirded out by it's permanence (no going back to normal honk after upgrade). Same reason why my wife and I talk about tattoos but never get them.

I recently drove by some waving kids and I normal-honked and felt sad after. ?

SOON! Maybe!

Cyberhorn came standard on mine.

If you’re one of those people that use a horn as a horn, don’t switch. Cyberhorn is ridiculously quiet.

If you’re like me and never use the horn for the purpose of telling an idiot they’re an idiot (far easier to just do my own thing to avoid them), it’s a great way to say hello to fellow Cybertruckers.

Have you stood in front of the truck when someone blasts the horn? It’s not quiet at all. From the drivers seat yes. Everything is quiet from inside.

I find Blue Monday by Orgy fits that bill very well, especially the intro.
Another fun one for the sound system but not the real thump is I Against I by Massive Attack.

I updated my horn and do a double honk when I see other cybertrucks.

There are lots of other good reasons not to get tattoos but the most compelling include: If you have tattoos you cannot use most onsens (baths/spas) in Japan because the only people in Japan with tattoos are criminal mafia (Yakuza), so they are banned. Also, if you are Jewish, discretionary tattoos result in being banned from Jewish cemeteries. Exceptions were made for tattoos applied during holocaust internment. There are many other reason, including correlation with cancer, design regret, public disdain, tramp-stamp assumptions, etc. The Japan spa this is enough for me.

I happen to be going to Japan in a few months, so that Cybertramp stamp is going to have to wait a bit longer.
