As an immigrant from a 3rd world country that visits that country pretty often, most Americans have no clue how good we have it here..
as a former military member and former employee of the DoD you’re absolutely right. I’ve visited so many countries. We have it good here in the United States. I love my country, but we can always make it better and we should always strive to.

Or any super early owners on this forum, you know this was the original reaction from literally everyone. Isn’t an early owner myself, 100 out of 100 interactions were just like this. Intrigue, curiosity, wonder.

Only after social and traditional media told people they’re not allowed to like it, did the hate begin.

Makes me truly wonder, the hate was so extreme during those times it was bewildering. It was insanity at it's upmost, people with infuriated with a mere sight of the truck. But it all started to rapidly, reddit hate groups were forming, news stories, Youtube, etc.. People were compelled to do the craziest things, as if the vehicle itself was giving them the finger.

Ultimately, was a great teaching lesson for my kids during that time..

You should read the Cybertruck-reveal threads on TMC from 2019. The first few days were filled with much weeping and gnashing of teeth.

I want to know what did she think of the Texas BBQ....... Looks like it was at a Rudy's......

Also what I really want to see is CyberGus driving in his DeLorean.

That is very true. But in terms of regular people, their opinions were fully changed and were shaped by social media whether they realize it or not.

I am a real person and I have never had a Tesla or any full EV.

You can look at my past few post and I have never bashed the CT or the people driving them.

So please do not lump all into one basket.

That crap only works on weak-willed imbeciles. The good news is it makes them easier to spot and avoid interaction with.

I had a very similar fun encounter with a busload of Japanese business visiting a local university. Absolutely excited and intrigued.

It's kind of sad to see Japan the way it is going. It's aging rapidly and is in population decline. They have the highest debt to GDP (2X the US). And seems to be on losing their tech luster to China. China is the future now.

I kind of get what your saying, because not that long ago, Japan seemed like it was living in the future when they were birthing some of the best consumer tech on the planet. It felt ironic to see Japanese tech company men being blown away by the Cybertruck (driven by a lowly Field Service Engineer) in a random parking lot in a US suburb. And this was before FSD for Cybertruck was released in 2024.
