Safe to go to Ithaca

[baska]

I wouldn't let a few stories online change all your plans. Most people are just going about their day and probably won't pay much attention. I'd use the same common sense you would anywhere—park in a well-lit area and don't leave valuables out.

I saw another post a while back from someone that lived in Ithaca saying things started out nice with the truck in Ithaca, but shifted dramatically with people coming up to him shouting flipping him off. But I haven’t heard from him since last year, maybe he sold his truck. I have a trip to Ithaca and I’m worried I won’t be able to go downtown with out getting terrible treatment with my kids in the truck. Has anyone been to Ithaca recently was it fine to park on the street? Drive through Cornell campus? Or was everyone shouting and throwing shit at you. Funny how when the truck was announced I was so excited to go to some of my favorite places and check out trails with the truck but know I’m worried about vandalism and have to decide if it’s safe to leave the truck places or where I can park where I won’t get my tires knifed or my wiper ripped off.

So I live near Binghamton and go to Ithaca all the time, out of the hundreds of folks who are curious and want to know all about my beast, there are a really small handful off idiots, in the last two years who give me the finger, always going the other way, so I immediately take a sentry video turn around and chase them down. Most just run for I scare the crap out of them. One idiot pulled over and I know he shit his pants when I came up to his window and confronted him. I don't take any crap from anyone. And here is mostly what I encounter,

For us CT owners up here in upstate New York, where there are few CTs driving around, I have to schedule at least an extra half an hour for any local trips around here to answer all of the questions I get about "what the heaven are you driving". So I decided to list them on a card that I give out if I'm in a hurry, here it is:

Cybertruck 30 minute dissertation short form;

My 7th and last truck (previous daily drivers, all 4x4 Toyotas starting with the 1979 SR5, last Tundra, a 2014 had 220,000 miles on it), love this beast, is the future, all electric, lightning quick (0-60 2.6 sec), steer by wire progressive steering (full left to right lock 340°), 4 wheel steering (really tight turns), air suspension (17" high setting clearance), regenerative breaking (rarely use brakes), 48 volt low voltage (really small wiring harnesses), Etherloop communication, heavy duty stainless steel body, almost NO maintenance (Tires, wiper blades & fluid is about it), over the air updates, and most importantly gas pickup $60 to drive 250 miles, Cybertruck $19-$22 electricity (400 wH/mile x 250 miles at $.19-$.22/kWh) to drive 250 miles, full slow charge at home 5 hours, full fast charge at supercharger 45 minutes, and Tesla is 10-15 years ahead of everyone else.

I treat mine like my personal TANK! Brake check me? I'll give you a little boop. I had a honda try to swerve at me the other day because I was passing him. I guess he didn't expect me to swerve back and crush his mirror. I just laugh and move on. No damage to my tank.
