Cybertruck “Love or hate”

[Hectortsl]

Why people that pass by the Cybertruck on the highway that really love it, give you ?, and people that hate it giving you a middle finger as if you need their approval or why do they feel entitled ? What do think about it?

Ignorance and jealousy. You shouldn’t feel superior to anyone because of what you drive, but once they give you the finger, then instead of getting mad or feeling road rage, let the the feeling of pure superiority set in, you are better than them. Feel good that what you drive makes others mad, you did nothing wrong. Smile back give them a thumbs up, because you are better than them. Not because of what you drive, but because of how you act.(and you own a cyber truck and they don’t, suck it)

When someone shows their thumbs up or middle finger - you have two options lol.
1. Just ignore .
2. Give them a thumbs up too (does not matter whatever finger they show).

Enjoy your Cybertruck as it is your choice and not theirs.

If you have something that others don’t (health, wealth, knowledge, status, you name it), then people either admire you or envy you. Simple social behavior found in all primates. When someone envy you, they make themselves look good by making you look bad - your choices, your lifestyle, etc. Most of this happens subconsciously. I just forgive them and move on. There are better things to do in life than wasting precious brain cycles on someone’s unhealthy emotional regulation. Not my problem!

People that emotionally lash out because of a car have a mental illness.

I really enjoy observing people’s behaviors. A few times people have come up and shook my hand. So strange to me, shaking my hand because of my car. I’m sure people driving ford raptor don’t have people coming up to shake their hand as they get out at a Walmart parking lot.

You can start doing that though…୧?୨

When the original iPod came out, I hated it.

I didn’t flip people off or tell them, but something about it bothered me.

I had an different brand mp3 player. It stored and played music, and it was cheap.

The iPod stored and played music, and it was expensive.

I couldn’t understand why anyone would buy an iPod vs the mp3 player I had. “It must be to show off those stupid white headphones to prove they have an iPod in their pocket.”

Then the iPhone came out. Same thing. I had a windows phone. I was able to go on the internet and do all the same things as an iPhone, so why were people spending their hard earned money on an iPhone?

When things went wrong with iPhones (overheat, fires, etc), I’d think “see!!?? It’s a scam!”

In hindsight, why did I care about products other people purchased that had nothing to do with me.

Maybe because I thought i made good, responsible, informed purchases. These Apple things kept popping up and people bought them instead even if I shouted from the rooftop and showed you can do all the basic same stuff for cheaper. I also didn’t have the money for apple products at the time. Could I have stretched to buy them? Maybe. But I didn’t want to.

In the end, all these years later, now I have an iPhone. In hindsight, yes, my old windows phone technically did all the same stuff. Just it was way worse in a dozen subtle ways. Software was slower and clunky, it didn’t update itself over time (had to get new ones to upgrade), the feel wasn’t as good.

Sound familiar? Now multiple that by 10 because cars are one of the most expensive things people buy so they put a lot of value behind that decision, and multiply that by another 10 because the cybertruck stands out so much, and people now know it’s expensive, making it an easy target for people who care.

As for positive people (which are 99 percent), I just give a thumbs up back. Some people just like cool / different stuff.

My experience with mine has been mixed but most of the people I know told me you are crazy getting that car is so ugly blah blah then they asked, let me see that thing inside, and they start looking closer all around the car and I’ve been quiet not talking and they come with oh wait is not hat I thought, it’s actually pretty cool ? then continue going on and on looking details and features and they finish with .. wait I actually love it what people talking about lol, funny to see like 10 reactions like that same pattern and they don’t even know each other or are together while looking at the CT.. crazy!! Then I have a lady driving a jeep wrangler without doors with one leg almost out ? and she screamed in the middle of the street.. your car is soooo ugly ?? I just laughed and said thank you!! Yours is so ugly ! ?

I got a rave compliment about the inside after a ride. "They really nailed the inside, its so smooth and really impresive." ha!

Some guy gave me the thumb down and another put his finger in his mouth like he is giving someone a bj, what offended me was not what they did but they were in a beaten-up old car and thinks my truck is bad. Lol

I've had my shares of expensive low resale-value cars but never have had so many people telling me that the F150 is better in value and higher resale, I just wish I get this kind of analysis for every purchase.

Luckily we seem to be mostly past that stage in Orlando. I haven't seen a thumb or a bird in awhile. Occasionally someone slows next to the truck and starts waving their arms and rolling down the window but I just ignore. Someone takes a pic but very rarely now. No one has tried to run me off the road in a couple months so that's good haha

My favorite reaction so far was from a kid who lives about a block away.

Day 2 of ownership we were driving home and a group of kids ran after the truck pointing and yelling CYBERTRUCK!! We pulled over so they could look at it, touch the metal and see tonneau work.

Kid first question: Is that really a Cybertruck!?!?
Me: Yup!!
Kid: We live over there (points to house across the street), my mom HATES it!!!
Me (trying not to laugh): Welp, it's no for everybody

We'll be giggling about that for years!

yeah tbh ive never had anything like this ive always been poor, but when I finally saved up and waited for the reservation, it was more of an achievement to get one. so I never experienced this envy before. I do appreciate the parents asking if their kid can see it, so I let them take pictures but many times im like going to the grocery store so I dont have much time for a tour.
