Cybertruck vs. Ferrari response from public

[Beastmode]

I’ve driven Teslas for 10 years and have heard every joke or criticism about the cars. None of it bothered me. It’s not my only car so driving my S once a week is really enjoyable. Perfect balance of vehicles (for me) is a Tesla model S (plaid) gen 3 Raptor, and an exotic car (Ferrari F8) just sold my Raptor and got my CYBERTRUCK. Absolutely love it and is the best Tesla yet. I’m completely used to the attention the exotic cars get (both negative and positive) I always encourage kids to sit in the Ferrari and have their parents take a photo. This happened to me when I was 10. Sat in one with my dad and said “one day I’m buying a ferrari” I hope I’m encouraging the next generation of entrepreneurs by doing this. I love cars and like talking to other enthusiasts.

Here is the comparison of driving the Ferrari VS Cybertruck. The Ferrari in general nobody gives a shit unless you are at a car show. I would get flipped off in it once in awhile and realized an important factor. Only drive it on the weekends. Only time I ever had a negative reaction in the Ferrari was when I was driving during the week and never on the weekends! I figured it’s something to do with people are pissed off at their jobs and have the Monday blues, and happy on the weekends? So I ended up not driving it Monday-Wednesday. I had a woman come up to me thinking she wanted to talk about how beautiful the car is (I mean the F8 is a gorgeous car!) but this woman full on goes really negative about why would I buy such a thing, the problems of massive wealth hoarding, income inequality.., she goes on and on… I told her I worked hard for this, it was a childhood dream, and by spending $400k on a car REALLY creates a lot of taxes and creates jobs. It was really bizarre to me how someone gets so worked up on someone’s purchase of a car.

Sooo now Cybertruck. Irvine delivery on Sunday: there was a Palestinian protest with easy 400 people there. They were not protesting Tesla, but this guy comes over to me with his camera on me while I’m taking delivery and starts yelling “fuck Tesla, they are a bad bad company, they are anti union” and lots of other bullshit while yelling and flipping me off. I just pretended not to hear him and continue with my delivery. I went from having goosebumps seeing my truck with my name on it to “get me the fuck out of here” I literally had zero time to talk to the delivery team. It’s hard to brush off assholes! But then there are genuinely happy reactions from kids, teens, neighbors. All of my (non Tesla) car friends all say it’s growing on them. They drive it and say wow, wasn’t expecting to like it this much! So I’m hoping the negativity is temporary.

I personally hated it on 11/22/2019 but the more I read about it, and got used to the design the more and more I liked it, and then LOVED it. It’s my favorite vehicle to drive! I was expecting the middle finger from the anti Tesla people, but not expecting people telling me “you’re an asshole get a real car, that thing is such a piece of shit!” That happened yesterday! Im really trying to not let it get to me, but I would NEVER say something like this to a stranger. What is wrong with people?! Staying positive though… haters gonna hate I guess, it’s a rad truck and absolutely love it. Getting windows tinted today and satin black wrap next week.

Great post and awesome pictures! I love it with the red Ferrari. The cyberbeast is the best driving car I've ever had and so happy I like driving it more than the attention it creates! I'm also wrapping mine in satin black and will post pictures when it's done. I am going to take some pictures of it parked in the hangar with my plane that I hope turn out half as good as yours did with the Ferrari!

Mazel tov on the truck!

I have received similar reactions in my exotic vs the CyberBeast.

I have chalked it up to one thing:

CyberTruck is MASSIVE BIG DICK ENERGY!

some people just can’t handle it

So far I’d say 80% of women absolutely LOVE the truck. I’ve seen them drive across the parking lot to come speak to me leave the line of Starbucks to come take pictures of the car. Enthusiastically asked me a bunch of questions about the truck. Top comments from women are “wow that is a beautiful car” “who makes that?”

my reaction from men has been quite the opposite. I would say most males below the age of 25 are extremely enthusiastic about the car. Most men above the age of 70 super stoked about the car. Many middle-aged men between 40 and 60 are the biggest haters I’ve seen. they will see the car and purposely look away shaking their head trying at all costs to avoid eye contact. I’m not sure if they’re shaking their head and disappointment with their life choices or that they have no BDE ?

either way I guarantee you his wife is walking up to me asking to take a photo of the truck

So funny you say this because my 14 year old daughter made the comment yesterday that she loves seeing people trying hard not to look when we drive by and it's always the middle aged men. I've also noticed that dudes driving massive diesel trucks love pulling up next to me and stomp the gas pedal so the plum of black exhaust billows out. Shaking my head and laughing seems to be the best reaction lol

Drive either car on any day you want and realize that there are many people who need a "check up from the neck up". You can just feel sorry for them and leave it at that. Your truck is awesome. Your Ferrari is a masterpiece.
I'm going crazy waiting for my Beast VIN since 12-11-2023 and RN1127560XX and will eventually take delivery in Irvine, CA also.

Stay strong, these people are literally insane!

How does the saying go, ’beauty is in the eye of the beholder’ or something like that. That goes for the Cybertruck. Everyone here and plenty of people throughout thinks it is a work of art. It’s definitely different then anything out there. And that alone is says a lot. it’s something that people going to admire or stare at for years or decades to come. Lastly, it’s not going to get old that’s for sure. Unlike traditional trucks, which has had the same design for almost a century. I can assure other manufacturers are going to follow suit. I would love to see the haters when that happens.

The responses are interesting. I've had mine about a week. In the first 40 miles of driving I had been photographed, videotaped, people hung out their windows to hang loose me, smiled at. me and got flipped off! But, overall people love it. I have been using mine as a truck, Home Depot runs, lumber hauling, towing, dump runs. Taking it to the dump was a trip

No. Don't make excuses for envy, hate and jealousy of others because you don't have something they do. There is no excuse. That behavior should be condemned by everyone, and never, ever, excused. If you don't like your situation, change it. Period.

Don't blame someone else for your lack of success. It isn't their fault. It is yours. You should find out what they did to be successful, and try to do the same, if that is what you want. If you don't, and you are angry at them, you are the problem, not them.

This right here^^ I'm not for being aggressive back, as it literally is sinking to a sad level. But never, ever give them the excuse or idea that they're right for their immaturity and childness. These are concepts my 7 year-old daughter and 5 year-old son already know, and to cater to those who would act like children because they have some sad circumstance is enabling foolishness and destroying this society. Discipline and correction is needed, they are in that position because of life choices or life circumstances, and it has nothing to do with anyone else who has worked hard enough to make something of themselves or be able to enjoy some of this life's treats.

Remember: Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And weak men create hard times.

this would be a badass super hero's motto!

Ha yeah for sure. Sadly, I didn't make this up, it's from a book I never read but really took to when considering raising my children

 

[Alejandrojfarias]

Your story is very similar to mine, I haven't gotten the CT yet but I live in Miami and most people love it and we don't have any protest around here yet, so hoping I can enjoy it without any issues, I have the 458. enjoy that F8!

Didn't know there was another Ferrari thread until I stumbled across this one after posting mine.
