A Facebook group for Cybertruck owners is full of videos and photos of passersby and other drivers flicking them off, leaving notes that say “WHAT’S ELON’S CUM TASTE LIKE?,” and “NAZI CAR,” and people kicking their cars, throwing slices of cheese at it, etc.

    Please correct me if I’m wrong but, hypothetically if someone were to vandalise a Tesla to the point of it being written off, could the owner request that the insurance company replace it with a non-tesla car?

      Where I live, you get a clump sum of money based on the totaled cars current market value. So YES, in some places!

    I see a Reichertruck sometimes on my commute and wonder if the driver gets shit for it. It just gets an angry glare from me.

    Destroying people’s property is not a joke. Kicking, spray painting, throwing food at, and other forms of harassment are wrong. The last administration told everyone to “go electric” so people tried to do what they thought was right. Cars are a huge expense, people can’t " just go get another one".

      No one bought a six figure truck with no reasonable application because they thought it was right thing to do, they did it to show how they had more disposable income than you and that they aligned with hatred. They deserve much worse than anything I see here.

        The biden\harris administration told people to buy electric, offered tax breaks, and tax rebates for 4 years. Every car manufacturer started producing electric cars at their request. Where have you been?

          You’re being disingenuous, for example by equating the cybertrucks and some other Teslas being “destroyed” (sure in some cases but not by slices of cheese or notes) with any and all electric cars, or by equating the negative sentiment against Tesla with negative sentiment against any EV.

            No you’re being disingenuous by attempting to change the topic we are actually discussing which was people being harassed for driving the “wrong type of electric car” by terrible people who feel justified in victimizing them. While these victimizers congratulate themselves for being “good people” which they are not.

      If it was a 5 year old Tesla you might have a point. There is no excuse for the memetruck.

      While I agree “sell your car” is kind of ridiculous when nobody is buying and everyone is saying “don’t own it OR ELSE”. On the other hand most teslas are owned by the bank and people larping being rich as tesla is a premium car (nevermind that it’s built like to the standard of russian cars and falls apart constantly). Thirdly this is about the cybertruck. Cybertruck was a man squatting with his trousers down and making a face of great effort. Unless you are a complete moron or otherwise obnoxious, you knew exactly what was coming out of that anus. With a cybertruck It’s either in hidden away as an investment since it will be the next delorean once us civil war is over, or you are a bona fide complete moron for owning it and honestly deserve the financial hole. Selling theirs at a massive loss might even save their lives considering the safety record of that turd.

    They’re all masochists. I’ve never seen a group that wants to be oppressed more than conservatives. Their lives revolve around bullshit perceived aggrievement.

      Christian conservatives are the worst of them all. Their entire society is steeped in their religion; it’s literally unavoidable, despite the first amendment being very clear. If the US has a culture, it would heavily overlap with Christianity.

      And yet they have convinced themselves that they are being oppressed. Because someone dared to challenge their obviously unconstitutional bullshit. It’s so pathetic.

        My Catholic in-laws voted for Trump in 2020 because Biden, a Catholic, was going to outlaw catholicism.

        There’s no hope for these people.

          Like imagine hearing or reading something so patently absurd, and taking it at face value without bothering to check if there is any truth to it. Brain rot.

          It’s just their projection taking another form: they know that they want to “outlaw” (or oppress or whatever) the other religions and minorities, so in their mind, the Democrats must be planning to do the exact same thing to them.

          That is as deep as it ever gets with these people.

    These protestors in front of Tesla Service Centers need to see what a majority looks like…A couple hundred CTs surrounding them might do it.”

    This guy thinks the majority means “whoever shows up with weapons”

      He also thinks there are a couple hundred cybertrucks nearby. Thinking may not be his strong suit.

        Hey if you’re near a Tesla storage lot, there probably IS a couple hundred cybertrucks nearby.

        Sitting there, having their wheels stolen and rotting since nobody is buying them, but that’s still technically nearby.

          having their wheels stolen

          I am pretty sure in the car parts thievery guild, showing up with something from a Tesla is sure to get yourself excommunicated and even banished.
