I am a geek, tree-hugger and redneck so I own a hi-tech electric truck. It completes me in so many ways.

Like the words geek, tree-hugger and redneck which originated as a derogatory terms, I think it is time we Cybertruck owners take ownership of the Cybertruck salute. You know, the one finger Jeep salute ,,I,,

I used to own a Jeep Wrangler and loved the connection to other Jeep WRANGLER drivers. The other Jeep drivers need to learn it is a Wrangler thing, not a Jeep thing.

Now to my point... instead of getting mad when we receive the bird, I think it needs to become the official Cybertruck greeting. The next time you see a fellow owner, flip them the bird. It will be our thing!

Originally I thought a salute would be a hassle, but apparently there aren't going to be that many of us on the road.

What do you think?

I think it may draw confusion.. If I was to see a CT driving down the street and I wanted to flip it off in support, it could be taken the wrong way.. Yet if I was in my CT and did it to another one, thats the only way they would get it is in support.

The Jeep wave is only done jeep to jeep. Not while on the street. Plus, this is tongue in cheek. Have fun with it.

Thanks for that, it would be tough to get the word out and confuse other CT drivers for sure

It must be a Washington/Oregon/California thing. I've only been flipped off a couple of times and that was almost a year ago.

I can see why you are going for and saying but I agree with others. It might get confusing and honestly I get enough middle fingers already lol
I just to wave or give the two finger hello gesture off the steering wheel a little.
I’d love to just be able to drive around and park in public without wondering if my ride is going to vandalized while I am out. So exhausted from it all I am not going to stop driving the truck, love it.

Maybe, but as others have said likely to be hard to not offend other CT drivers, TBH I am thinking about a swastika wrap maybe with some giant American Eagles --- that's how I'd like to lean into this BS

That will for sure get your truck damaged if I was a gambling human.
