A Facebook group for Cybertruck fans is buzzing right now—though not in a good way. It’s filled with shocking videos and photos of people vandalizing Tesla’s much-anticipated vehicle. We’re talking about weird notes like, “WHAT’S ELON’S CUM TASTE LIKE?” Seriously? And then there are folks kicking the trucks, tossing cheese slices at them, and even spray-painting nasty stuff like “NAZI CAR.” It’s a trend that’s causing a lot of alarm among the Cybertruck community.
Backlash Linked to Tesla’s Controversies
Now, why is this happening? Well, it seems like this aggressive behavior is tied to the growing protests and the public’s frustration with Elon Musk, the head honcho at Tesla. His recent moves—like buying Twitter and making some pretty controversial statements—have stirred quite the pot. Some people are now taking out their anger on the Cybertruck, which, let’s face it, is still not even officially released. Owners are finding it tougher to drive or park their trucks in peace without some kind of harassment.
Sentry Mode: A Double-Edged Sword for Cybertruck Owners
So, what are the Cybertruck owners doing about this? Many of them are turning to Tesla’s Sentry Mode. This feature kicks in the cameras around the vehicle whenever it senses something fishy, capturing those acts of vandalism on camera. But here’s where it gets a bit wild—some owners are going beyond just documenting. They’re posting photos of the offenders on social media, trying to name and shame them. There was even a video of a guy throwing American cheese slices at a Cybertruck’s windshield! Members of the group were quick to suggest filing police reports and even “doxxing” the guy by sharing his picture online.
Debate Over Facial Recognition for Better Protection
All of this has sparked quite a debate within the community. Some folks are pushing for an upgrade to Sentry Mode—like adding facial recognition technology that could automatically identify vandals. Imagine getting an alert that says, “You’re being recorded!” along with the offender’s name and a note about potential legal action. But here’s the million-dollar question: Should Tesla go that far with their security system? Or could that open a whole can of worms when it comes to privacy issues?
