Mail trolls?

[ohtruck]

I've been receiving these postcards for several months (Ohio), but I don't understand their end goal. There's no website. No email. No phone number. The flip side is blank except for the mailing address and the USPS marks. The front is clearly AI. I've been hesitant to post this because I didn't want to give these people any attention. But has anyone else received this postcard?

What’s on the back?

Neighbor kids? Childish neighbors?

I dig the graphics though. Take away the hate sauce and it’s pretty cool art.

Just postage and mailing address / name on the back. Nothing to identify. Nobody in my direct neighborhood has kids older than ~10. Most are families or retired folks.

I'm just surprised I keep receiving them every month or so and yet I've never seen them posted anywhere else. Either it's bad trolling or a really dumb attempt to buy used Cybertrucks given there's no discernable contact info.

Seems like a political jab at tesla/cybertruck and crypto.

The person is likely local and has marked addresses with cybertrucks or purchased an owner's list like those scam warranty extension offers. Hiding their identity is by design.

I completely agree, but what's the point of it? There's not even a website linked so what is their intent? There is literally no actionable item on the entire postcard.

Post everywhere, let them keep sending you more. Maybe they can single handily keep the postal service going. Start selling them on etsy to other morons.

The point is to make themself feel better by knowing they poked a CT owner. Lots of dumb people in the world

Maybe I'm thick. I guessed maybe it was someone trying to get a cybertruck for cheap given the polarity of it, but they were too stupid to include an actual point of contact. I'd never sell it unless there's a solid refresh offered because it's the best vehicle I've ever owned, but I just can't fathom why someone would presumably print and mail 100s or 1000s of postcards with nothing but a meme on it.

lol you likely have a neighbor that has blue hair and drives a Subaru.

I don't think that's it. The postmark is in a different postal code than my local post office (same city, but several miles away).

not sure about your town but all mail in Michigan’s goes to Lansing first then onto the destination. Even if it’s to your neighbor next door. At least that’s how it was years ago. Also if it were me, prolly put my stamp then drop it in a pickup box at the mall so the carrier wouldn’t know who’s trying to be funny. I could see my brother sending me something like that just for the chuckle.

Waste of money printing those up. Cybertruck s are awesome.

That might be my case too. I was just wondering if this was a wider-spread postcard. I've been receiving one ever several weeks for probably 6 months now, so I don't think it's someone I know, but it's possible I'm wrong. It just seems like a lazy prank given there's no call to action on the card. If I was pranking a neighbor, I'd at least include a link to rickroll them or something..

There is a very high probability that it's a "local" (same city, you said) who found out where the Cybertruck lives. Just an a-hole scratching their EDS itch. The blue haired Subaru driver guess has a high probability of being accurate.

AI slop bro.
