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.

I was an adult when I learned that some people say flick instead of flip.

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".

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

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.

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.

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?
