So this occurred this morning, attaching the picture from the Facebook thread and a screen snap of the conversation. Not publicly linkable...

Annoys me to see the locals I drive around everyday trash talk them and apparently, indirectly, me.

Just figured I'd put it here as well.

Meh. It's just people being people. Projecting their hate in one form or another instead of spreading compassion. People around my wife's office were talking crap about the Texas crash recently and it was actually sad all of the misinformation they were regurgitating about it.

I got my neighbor good yesterday. My garage door was open and I was standing right beside the truck. A husband and wife walk by and wife says “that’s fucking ridiculous.”

I’m not hidden or anything, apparently the truck is so polarizing she couldn’t see a full grown man standing one foot beside it. I said “it really is, huh?” She looked sooo embarrassed and apologized.

I feel the same about any Mercedes G wagon, any Land Cruiser, and any boxy looking vehicle.. Just absolutely fucking ridiculous..

Unfortunately (or fortunately) it is up to us to change the perception of others in any way that we can. Let that person in in traffic, use our onboard power to give someone a charge or to power the air pump to help with a flat, honk the horn to make their kid laugh and smile, thumbs up when given the finger, help that one person move who has hate for Tesla and didn't know you had a CT. We draw a lot of negative (and positive) attention and so we are kind of like ambassadors in a way. Lead by example.

Great attitude Nicholas! I agree, although I have to admit getting irritated a few times replying back with the ole finger.

Yep, I carry a frunk load of toy cybertrucks to hand out to kids just for this reason, they love it anyway and anyone seeing their kid smile ear to ear is immediately happier.

I have 1/64 rc cybertrucks that I give out, I got like 30 of them for 15 each. They are no longer on Amazon, I am thinking to try these now:

I’m personally okay with both of those, but boxy ones like the smart car, Fiat, or Nissan Cube are hard no’s for me. And the Hyundai Santa Cruz. Hate that thing. I just don’t feel the need to verbalize it to the owners, post on social media about it, or even write songs about it (plenty of CT ones on YouTube if you need a laugh).

Everyone has different tastes. I’m just glad we all like triangles around these parts 😎

I care a lot less about the shape of a vehicle, and a lot more about what powers it. Ever since getting a pure electric Model 3 in 2018 I've realized how ridiculous gas and diesel cars are. Unless you have special needs (like needing to drive 20 hours/day or towing a large trailer across the country).
