You will find that there are haters but the haters hate themselves because they like the truck more than they hate the truck so you won't really hear from them very much. You may also notice that most of the more vocal haters come from the lower economic spectra and people who have any means are able to appreciate that there's something novel and beautiful about this truck.
Alas, Elon is fascist-curious, which was a problem with industrialist prior to WWII, Ford and Lindbergh for instance. It's just a thing we should be aware of and wary about.
I have one and only reason: People are stupid.I think we have several threads about public reactions to the Cybertruck. Thumbs up, thumbs down, the one finger flip off - all directed toward the CT and driver. I have tried to compile the top ten reasons for the negative reactions. What did I miss?
(My advice is enjoythe attention, relish the ride and send back love)
Top 10 Reasons for the hate:
1) They are jealous that you actually OWN one
2) It is simply too ugly to be on the road, its very sight is personally offensive
3) They hate on ELON for what he has done, (doesn't matter-whatever, whoever, whenever and forever)
4) It is not green enough, or it is too green
5) All EV drivers = Liberals
6) Conspicuous $$$ consumption, another rich Ferrari driver, use your money more responsibly, you rich Bastard
7) You are driving too slow in the fast lane, (and yes, there is a SPECIAL HELL for these people!)
8) They actually know a Cybertruck owner, and assume all owners are like that guy.
9) You cut them off two miles back, or another Cybertruck did two weeks ago… they all look alike.
10) It is NOT even about the Cybertruck at all, it IS directed at YOU
True. But by outwardly aligning with this group, a person is essentially saying, "Look at me, I'm dumber than a rock." They are too stupid to know they have become the unwitting tools of nefarious forces trying to extend the age of oil for financial gain.

Elon has definitely expressed right wing views (which I personally oppose), but not fascist views. Fascism is its own plurality of things. Elon has routinely expressed his support for the power of the individual against the state. It may be fairly described as a nasty type of twisted free market libertarianism. It’s plenty dangerous, but it’s not fascism. Fascism subordinates the individual to the real or symbolic power of state. Generally, this is done through the use of some romantic or mythological identity wherein the identity of the individual is subordinated to some greater authority.
The fact that he does it in support of a particular group is what makes it so. Individualism isn't opposed to fascism, that's the problem. Anyhow, this isn't the place to discuss this... But just be aware the 'rugged individualist' is a ruse that has been used to align with fascism multiple times through history.
