Buy overpriced ugly truck from an outward Nazi
Cover it in shiny gold wrap to draw even more attention and be obnoxious to anyone who doesn't want to be blinded on the road
Be surprised when people don't like you
????
Do obnoxious stuff for "librul tears".
Cry like a baby when people do obnoxious stuff back.
We're all human
Dude, Tesla's CEO endorsed a racist, misogynistic, transphobic and pauperophobic rapist. He shows up at AfD and FdI rallies.
You're Syrian, once they've rounded up all the poor brown people they'll come for you. After all, a god-fearing, bible-thumping, red-white-and-blue bleeding American could be given your business.
And your taste in cars sucks, by the way.
We’re all human
Yeah, and a non-zero amount of humans are insufferable bastards bent on subverting, dismantling and exploiting society for their own gain.
Jaroje was so worried that he tried to trade in the Cybertruck, but with no luck. He said he received a call and a text from a Tesla representative saying the company can't take the truck back, even after sending them the hateful sticker.
"He confirmed with the text message that Tesla is not accepting Cybertruck trade-ins at this moment," Jaroje said. He hopes the community will set aside judgment and be open to differences.
The vehicles are so bad that even the company that makes them won't buy them.
Oh shit, I thought I was joking that he had no way to get rid of it.
More like, they can't sell what they've already got so they aren't gonna take even more stock.
Yes, because they're so bad.
Also because people don't like to support the Nazi billionaire who is actively destroying their country. But the terrible quality control of their overpriced and poorly designed cars doesn't help.
Those are two different flavors of bad.
You can mix multiple flavours. It’s like a chocolate vanilla swirl except it’s just two flavours of dogshit.
Fuck the cyber truck and all, but their sales numbers are still pretty good when you compare them to the other expensive EV trucks floating around.
If they were more affordable, I guarantee you that you’d see more assholes driving these.
They have thousands upon thousands of them sitting in their factories right now that they can't sell
No they are not, last i hard they sold less than 4k cybertrucks.
That photo gave me a some serious Goldeneye 007 on the N64 vibes, its like he unlocked the cheat code to get the golden car to go with the golden gun.
Until now I didnt think it was possible to make that thing look more low-poly.
We’re all human
Why is he ok with people that don’t treat others as human, yet expects to be treated as human himself, then?
I think the easy answer is that people like that have a narrower definition of human.
I agree. Those people are twats.
Bis wife started screaming after seeing a "profane sticker"? Sounds like an "and then everybody clapped" story to me.
Hard to find any sympathy for the guy. A cybertruck costs almost 3 times the amount of comparable electric trucks.
You pay that much extra because you want the hate.
I hate Elon as much as the next guy but there's no need to spread blatant misinformation.
Cybertruck MSRP: $80-100k
Ford F-150 Lightning MSRP: $50-90k
Chevy Silverado EV MSRP: $55-95k
and that is the majority of your options. Obviously cybertruck isn't near as capable as the other two and it's also an ugly piece of shit, but there's no need to make things up to diss the idiots buying them, they do it themselves.

When it was originally released the lightning started at 40k and that's what I was thinking of. Your point about the price today are fine, but there is no need to assume things.
"I bought this car because FUCK THE LIBS! But why are they harassing me?!"
Make shame great again! ✊
It sounds like we all agree. Despite all the rightful cybertruck hate and despite the garish gold color, this driver was not even particularly persecuted. He was just living the life of a normal Bostonian (which always includes other drivers cursing at you, cause that's what we do here).
So... This is actually just a non-story. The headline could have been "Ridiculous gold cybertruck exists in Massachusetts, driver treated normally"
Or perhaps,
"Driver of ridiculous gold cyber truck somehow still isn't getting enough attention!"
I once had someone throw a beer bottle at me from their car as I was walking the dog. They yelled 'Dog Wanker!' Where's my news story?
Man buys ridiculous car gets ridiculed. More news at six.
"It's not just about what happened to me. It's about everyone in this country. If you disagree, don't retaliate. Don't be violent. Don't try to hurt your neighbor. We're all human,"
I mean, if you believe that, my guy, you shouldn't have bought the nazi truck. You also definitely should not have gotten a fucking gold one. You also ABSOLUTELY shouldn't have driven it around in MASSACHUSETTS. I flip these fucks off when I see them here. I don't agree with physically threatening them, but c'est la vie I guess.
I just love that someone is complaining about people being rude to him in a state with such rude, aggressive drivers that the term 'Masshole' was invented to describe them.
Be careful out there, flipping off other drivers is considered "road rage" in some places and can get you ticketed.
Plus, a thumbs down with a look of disgust is funnier!
I throw them one of these looks.
Gold swasticar*
the Syrian immigrant
Weird that he's driving around a swasticar from a company run by a guy that would probably like to deport him...
Are we seriously stooping to the level of our supposed betters when it comes to dealing with criticism or disagreement? Elon Musk and Trump, two individuals who have no qualms about using their influence and power to bully others into silence.
A fellow just gets harassed for driving a car that he's passionate about. Can you imagine how it feels to be constantly singled out and shunned because of something so mundane as the shape of your vehicle? The Cybertruck is a polarizing design, but should that make one a target for abuse?
The stickers on his car are just the cherry on top of this toxic behavior. It's not just harassment, it's vandalism. I can only imagine how dehumanizing and demoralizing it must be to have people's hate projected onto your property.
This incident is a perfect example of how our society has become increasingly divided and tribal. We're more likely to attack the person or the idea rather than engaging in constructive dialogue. The 'other' becomes a target, and we lose sight of what really matters - empathy, kindness, and understanding.
I'm truly sad to see this happen. The owner of the Cybertruck is not some kind of ideologue who deserves to be attacked. He's just an average person who wants to drive his car without fear of reprisal or ridicule. And what will it achieve? Will it make him think twice about his choices? I doubt it. If anything, it'll reinforce his conviction and anger.
We need to learn to treat each other with respect and dignity, even when we disagree. Harassment and intimidation are not solutions to problems; they're just symptoms of a deeper issue - our inability to listen to opposing views and engage in civil discourse.
While I agree with the General Sentinment of your comment, I think public shaming needs to be used more. If you're driving a swasticar, you should be shamed for it.
While you're joining in the pointless mud slinging about a person's choice of vehicle, the government is being dismantled, we're filling our first concentration camps and threatening to invade Canada.
The solution isn't to play the game of pointless division which got us into this mess in the first place. The people with power that are breaking our society got that power by tricking people into worrying about trivial differences within their class.
The solution to that problem isn't to continue worrying about trivial differences amongst your class.
He’s a doctor what kind of doctor lacks the foresight to buy a Cybertruck.
*seeing that his practice is called Sculpting MD
Oh never mind.
Ben Carson was a brain surgeon... need I say more?
Ah, but Ben Carson made a ton of money by grifting to the right. The billionaire class collectively throw billions at their propaganda machines
Well... yeah, but he was also a completely incompetent idiot yet was inexplicably a highly trained surgeon. Which was the point.
The people in this thread saying "fuck him" and "he deserves it" is the reason why we're so divided. The same reason we have hate and turmoil in this country. Who gives a shit if he drives a cybertruck. Similar to the Gulf of America. Who gives a shit about the change. It'll be changed back eventually anyway.

Cybertrucks are killing people at very alarming rates (even worse than the other oversized SUVs and pickups.) If anyone drives a vehicle that endangers the lives of others then we have every right to hate them for it. Your right to swing your fists around ends where my face begins.
Sounds more like bad drivers than just a faulty vehicle. Even had the cybertruck bomb in there for added effect.
A safe vehicle doesn't because anyone from bad driving
No, no no
Trump has been pushing for a divide for about a decade now, continuously pushing one part of the country, his fan base, against the rest.
Now what you're saying is that now that people are fed up and start pushing back, we are the problem?
You are the problem
So, you're on team "divide everyone" because Trump is doing it?
You're not pushing back, you're playing the game.
They love being divided. "Us versus them".
