    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.

    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

    ???

    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.

    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.

    Why is he ok with people that don’t treat others as human, yet expects to be treated as human himself, then?

    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.

    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?

        Ok, that’s a bit messed up. And “wanker”? Did you walk the dog all the way to London?

        You sure they didn’t say “fuckhead” and maybe it only sounded like wanker?

    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.

        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
