Cybertruck protected me from pellet gun shots on highway [⚠️ ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

[Jhodgesatmb]

I called the State of Kansas dealer licensing office and they gave me the dealership’s name and address. It’s a small used lot in not so great part of town.

I filed a police report, not because I want these kids put in jail or I was scare for my life but to protect them from someone else reacting a little more extreme than me.

Although it was just a plastic or gel pellet it could still put an eye out or cause a crash if they hit someone with their window down.

I did plenty of stupid things in my life and learned the hard way. More concerned about the behavior turning into something more serious down the road.

I enjoy sharing the truck with people I meet and especially the kids who get so excited to see one in person. Just hope we don’t see more stupid actions like this from kids trying to get attention on social media.

I did stupid things as a teenager and got caught a few times. Like you I paid my price and learned. It is the only way. I am in favor of kids learning how the world works, and I am not in favor of them being bailed out by their parents or anyone else.

Its kind of like side shows. I am not against them as long as they are in a sanctioned place. We did a lot of donuts in parking lots when I was young. As far as I know no one complained because it was always quite a distance from residential or business properties and there were no crowds, fireworks, lasers, etc. Let kids do stupid things in places where they either cannot be hurt or can only hurt each other, and hammer them if they go outside those areas.

Putting them in jail may actually save their lives. At this rate, it's only a matter of time until they pull something like that with the wrong person.

If you move ahead a few years and then look back, this was probably only practice!

Last Friday night some teenagers decided to drive up beside me on the highway and take a few shots with some sort of plastic pellet gun.

At first, I thought it was a paintball gun but didn’t find any splatter marks.

Dash-cam caught most of the action but wish the video quality was better.

Was able to get the License Plate and tracked it back to a local dealer.

Obviously, no damage to the truck but I am sure these kids were terrorizing pedestrians and cars all night!

Good thing they picked the CT! Exoskeleton to the rescue!!!!

Kids (teenagers) are playing an “assassin” game, filming and then posting it on TikTok. The games use water pistols, though I have seen some that Look amazingly realistic.

It is not smart, recently a group of the assassins were almost engaged by a legal conceal carry thinking he was witnessing an “active shooter” event. It would have been tragic and horrific. Unfortunately that may be what it takes to put a stop this kind of stupidity.

Yup, unfortunately.

Darwin awards are never unfortunate, just inevitable.

In the future, try pulling the video from the USB drive on a computer. The local screen playback isn't great, but the cameras actually record in a pretty high resolution and the clips look a LOT better on a computer.

We had White SUV shooting at fellow motorist here in Central Utah (Nephi area) Along I-15, 3 years back - shot at some cars in the early morning hours, wounded a couple of people.

If was fantasizing how if I had my CyberTruck it would have been fun to catch the guy in the act. Phone it in. Follow him around until the police catch up. Or follow him back to his house and push him and his SUV into his living room... you know, so the police would know they got the right guy.

IDK now, apparently the production glass isn't quite as tough as the "reveal" glass. But maybe a fella could slump down in the driver seat behind all that steel exoskeleton and still drive by cameras?

I did something similar back in my pre-adult days, to a sheriff ?. Paintball gun.

Get em booked because they’ll just do it again, that’s how I learned. You’ll do them a favor, in many ways.

You should of gone straight to the police. None of this tiptoeing around for their sake.
