"“We were the targets.”"
"“To me, it’s just a vehicle that I love.”"
"“It has no political affiliations at all to me.”"
"“Your cars are fucking ugly!” she screams before peeling off."
Seven Tesla Cybertruck owners gathered at McCormick's Palm Springs Classic Car Auctions for a meetup organized by Michael Goldman, who runs the 53,000-person Facebook group Cybertruck Owners Only. Owners describe the truck as a beloved, apolitical vehicle and emphasize personal taste and functionality over ideology. The trucks draw intense attention because of their futuristic, brutalist design, provoking both admiration and hostility. Owners report being targeted with insults yet often respond with humor, pride, or indifference. Meetups under desert heat include discussions of nicknames, family reactions, social media community dynamics, and efforts to correct misconceptions.
