think just like you and me and were trying to do the right thing. Just leave them alone…
Cybertruck drivers though…Um… they are just dumbasses wanting to get in your face.

Biggest problem is drivers of big dark colored Ram trucks with oversized tires and a mindset that it's OK to run red lights and over other cars. Is there some character in those Fast & Furious movie who mows down people with a dark Ram truck? These guys around here are doing some sort of hero-worshiping maniac mimic driving in these parts. And, yes, if there are any bumper stickers on them, it's MAGA crap.

are loaded with Teslas.

And pay scale here abouts rule out possibility that very many people could afford one.

On Teslas and can be raised to accommodate rough roads.
I actually drove my Tesla to protest in front of a Tesla store

Seriously doubt any adjustment would help those cars

Cars I'm not sure about. I don't think i could possibly miss a T truck, but the cars aren't nearly as outlandish looking, so one of those wouldn't necessarily catch my eye.

Vandalizing people's vehicles just because you're angry with the guy who owns the company that made them is dead wrong, of course, but I think it says something about just how upset people are. When people get as worked up as they are right now, judgment can go out the window, and bad things can happen.

They're about the size of a Toyota Corolla, but a bit more sportier. They're nice looking cars.

Typical tesla:

Who would know?

At least it's silent and not polluting the environment.

Now if we had as many cybertrucks as we do pickup trucks, I don't know what I would think!

I've only seen a few cybertrucks, so they're pretty much a novelty.

They are modified, making them louder and to cause even more pollution. At least the CT doesn't do that.

Though I'm sure someone sells an accessory to do this.

their anger by punching down, especially on the Internet.
It takes time and effort to write, call or text representatives, to go to a protest, etc. to voice your opinion.

invented the probable first bought-it-before-we-understood bumper sticker--in 2021. We bought our first EV in 2014 and a small Tesla seemed like a good idea at the time in 2019. We are too close to retiring to sell it, so although we cannot stand the guy, we still need the car. (The bumpersticker no longer is enough of a statement, it's off.) We are a two EV family--the other is a 2023 Leaf, which I love!

Fake radiator grills, fender modifications, manual door handles... that sort of thing.

I could call it Stale Automotive Group, or SAG.

There's a business plan...

Now that I'm thinking about it, could you drop a Humvee body on a CyberTruck chasis? It looks like it would fit.

Why? Because it creates an effect where people that own these cars won’t ever buy another one. I’m not condoning it. I would never encourage someone to vandalize like that, and I hate that it impacts people who can’t stand Musk, but I suspect it creates a chilling effect for current T owners.

Target the chargers. not the owners or the dealerships.

A key part of the Tesla business model was to build chargers at critical points that would allow their cars to travel coast to coast and what not. If all of the charger spaces in Coralville, Iowa, just happened to be blocked by your rusty old Pinto, it would seriously upset that business model.

I don't have a home charger. You want to hurt me? Why? I'm a loyal voter.

Every time they drive a Tesla on the road it is a big fat advertisement for Musk. They need to stop. If their feelings get hurt because they are getting the bird flipped at them, I'm willing to live with that.

My daughter bought her Tesla over 5 years ago. She didn't even know who Eloon Muck was at the time. It's been a good car probably because Eloon had nothing to do with the actual invention. At the last rally when we were taking our protest signs out of her car another rally goer drove up and parked next to us. She told us she saw the Tesla and thought "ugh" until she saw us taking our signs out. We all chuckled. Sometimes you really can't judge a book by its cover or a driver by her car.

I'm still gonna point a finger and laugh when I see an abominable Cybertruck, but I was doing that from the get-go.

I remember the first time I road in one. It was with someone who worked at Planned Parenthood. This was in 2017.

I can't imagine my vehicle being a target.

Just imagine if you bought a house from a builder, then only to find out later, that the builder was a Nazi. And of course, builders build in tracts, so then an entire neighborhood would be known as a "Nazi neighborhood" and everyone in the neighborhood would be called a nazi. Of course, the govt would not bail anyone out. The only recourse is to sell the home and move.

... who dumped his Tesla immediately when Musk started buddying up with DJT. I think we could call him an "early abandoner."

They need to know their decisions have consequences. Done en masse, this will effect Tesla stock.
