    I have to say I find it somewhat difficult to sympathise with the plight of a person who can afford one of those abominations (in gold, no less). Sorry for the kids though.

    Their struggles are self-wrought and they are sycophantic about their pride. So when they start hearing noise from outside their echo chamber they aren’t ready to experience the anger and frustration they wish on others.

    His kids need to see this. This may be the wind that helps the fruit get some distance from the tree. The lesson has to be learned and their father has elected to fall on that sword. He wanted this. He paid for this. Why shouldn’t a person be entitled to their opinion?

      Why Is There So Much Hate for Cybertruck Owners?

      This situation raises an important question: Why is there so much negativity towards Cybertruck owners?

      Elon Musk Controversy: Some people dislike Musk’s political views and take it out on Tesla owners.
      Bold Design: The Cybertruck already attracts attention—some love it, some hate it.
      Political Associations: Many see the Cybertruck as a “right-wing” vehicle, causing backlash from those who disagree.
      Jealousy & Class Divide: Some people resent expensive vehicles, assuming the owners are wealthy.
      Flashy Wrap Choices: A gold Cybertruck makes an already controversial vehicle stand out even more.

      Whatever the reason, no one should be harassed for simply driving the vehicle they love.

      Yes, that’s why.

      I feel a bit bad for the people who really did buy it because they thought it was cool and not to make a statement. I can only assume those people exist because you never hear about them, but if they do that sucks. But yeah I’m just jealous of someone driving an enormous gold block probably.

      I thought it was cool, but already knew about Tesla’s quality control problems with other vehicles. Add Elon’s brazen nazism to the mix and I would never, ever, ever have bought a Cybertruck or anything associated with Musk. We knew well in advance that Tesla had severe quality problems and that Musk was a right-wing fascist and nazi. If someone bought anything of his despite all that, it’s entirely on them. There is no way to justify it.

            My word, these things get worse every time I learn something new about them.

              The number of times that this article suggests that “the design” or that it’s expensive is why Cybertruck drivers are getting harassed suggests these people live in fantasyland. If Ford or BMW had made this thing, none of this would have been happening. Having said that - the design is gross.

                Honestly, I might like it more if it weren’t the size of a monster truck. 30-50% smaller and it could have been a neat little runabout with huge cargo capacity and a quirky design. But it’s basically a canyonero too large for most roads

                    “Where do you live? I am in Georgia, and I’ve had my Cybertruck since March. I’ve only experienced a couple of rude hand gestures, which I laugh at because they’ve been from some people driving falling-apart cars—so just really jealous people.”

                    Yepp, totally jealous people. Especially those poors you see with their “shitty” cars.

                      sounds like a perfect opportunity to self drive it into the Tesla building while it’s on fire.

                      “Sorry, it was broken and I told it to go to the shop to get fixed.”
