I Don’t Know Why Women Keep Laughing at Me When I’m Out Driving my Tesla Cybertruck

He recounts several instances where people pointed and laughed at him while driving his Cybertruck. Jesse is a Cybertruck owner who goes by the handle “Sturdybirdy” on the Cybertruck Owners Club forum. She was alone, pointing at my truck and laughing hard. Jesse, on his part, suggests Elon Musk’s controversial nature is to blame for the people laughing at him. Jesse writes, “I’ll keep driving my Cybertruck, regardless of the haters. But I sure hope people can have some grace in these divided times.” However, this still doesn’t explain why the vehicle triggers people so much. Jesse seems to believe all the negativity is because of Elon Musk. 🖊️
