    No, I did not get a cybertruck loaner and it did not get vandalized. While I understand the post, the top-level comment I responded to is a sentiment encouraging harassment and vandalism toward teslas I’ve seen growing more popular on social media, which I have now had some exposure to IRL.

    Also Tesla or not, I’m a believer in leaving people and their shit alone and using healthier methods of expressing dissatisfaction if the goal is to actually change their mindset.

    While today I was simply harassed, tomorrow the loaner could be vandalized by someone not differentiating Tesla models and just being pissed some guy is driving a Tesla.

    Legit Tesla owners getting their vehicles harassed/vandalized are not going to get the message. They’ll simply get pissed that some angry asshole made their day less convenient and if anything, I fear that will just give them even more of an underdog complex than they already have.

    Plus, vandalism repair costs = more money to Tesla.
