The Tesla Cybertruck is not for the faint of heart.
Dennis Jay shared a post on the Cybertruck Owners Only Facebook page that defines many Tesla Cybertruck owners.
If you’re considering buying a Cybertruck, read this story first.
This is what you can expect when you get behind the wheel, and what you are signing up for if you purchase a Cybertruck.
Are you ready to deploy, not just own an electric truck?
Before we hear from Dennis, imagine owning a vehicle that challenges every other vehicle on the road. Every time you drive it, you have to be on your game because the competition is coming at you hard.
You don’t know what’s over the next hill. Every time you park, you might be assaulted because you are on the battlefield.
You don’t fit in and you look different than anyone else. You don’t have a ghillie suit on; you are bare naked in front of the world, and they see you coming from miles away.
You are disrupting the norm.
And disrupt it does. From the moment the doors open, you know you’re not in Kansas anymore. You’ve entered the cockpit of the future.
The exoskeleton isn’t just a design choice; it’s a declaration of defiance, a gleaming, angular challenge to the curvy, conventional world.
Heads swivel. Phones come out. Little kids point and gasp. You feel like you’re piloting a low-orbit satellite through rush hour, a piece of the future that accidentally landed on Main Street.
At every stoplight, you are challenged by a Ram, F-150, Silverado, or Tundra.
The acceleration isn’t a gentle build-up; it’s a gut punch, a silent, instantaneous surge that leaves gas-guzzling pickups coughing in your dust.
The steering isn’t just responsive; it’s intuitive, as if the truck knows where you want to go before you even think about it.
And when you pull up to the charger, it’s not just plugging in; it’s a recalibration, a brief pause before you launch back into the urban jungle, ready to redefine what a vehicle can be.
This isn’t just transportation; it’s an experience, a continuous, rolling conversation with everyone you pass, and the conversation always starts with awe and ends with a question: “What is that thing?”
Ok, What Does Dennis Jay Say?
He says, ‘You don’t just drive-you deploy.’
- Every stoplight is a stare-down.
- Every parking lot is a photoshoot.
- Every mile a middle finger to convention.
- It doesn’t purr. It hums with intention.
- It doesn’t blend in. It breaks the algorithm.
- Because this isn’t just a truck.
- It’s a statement – And the statement is:
- “I’m not here to fit in. I’m here to disrupt.”
Here’s What Potential Cybertruck Buyers Need To Know:
Like Dennis Jay, Tesla Cybertruck owners frequently describe the experience of driving it as being a “disruptor” due to the intense and varied reactions it elicits from the public.

Here’s a breakdown of what they’re saying:
Overwhelming Attention and Curiosity:
Head-Turner: The Cybertruck’s unique, angular, stainless-steel design is unlike anything else on the road. Owners consistently report that it draws an enormous amount of attention wherever it goes. People stare, point, take pictures, and often approach the vehicle to ask questions.
Kids Love It: Many owners note that children, in particular, are incredibly excited by the Cybertruck, often reacting with awe and fascination as if it’s a spaceship or something out of a sci-fi movie.
Positive Interactions: But it’s not all polarizing Reactions and negative feedback. In fact, a significant portion of interactions are positive, with people giving thumbs-up, waving, and expressing curiosity or admiration. Owners often find themselves providing impromptu tours or answering questions from strangers.
Polarizing Reactions and Negative Feedback:
Strong Opinions: While many reactions are positive, the Cybertruck is also highly polarizing. Owners report encountering strong negative opinions, sometimes escalating to rude gestures, yelling, or even objects being thrown.
“Haters” and “Cyberbullying”: Some owners describe experiencing “cyberbullying” in person, with people expressing intense dislike for the truck, often yelling insults or giving the middle finger. This negativity can be particularly frustrating when children are in the car.
Association with Elon Musk/Politics: For some, the Cybertruck is inextricably linked to Elon Musk and his often-controversial public persona. This can lead to adverse reactions based on political views or general dislike for Musk, rather than the vehicle itself.
Concerns about Design and Safety: Critics often comment on its aesthetics, calling it “ugly” or likening it to an “80s movie prop.” There are also concerns raised about its perceived safety for pedestrians due to its rigid structure and sharp angles, though owners often debate this.
“Rolling Coal”: Some Cybertruck owners, particularly those who previously drove other Teslas, report being targeted by diesel truck drivers who “roll coal” on them (intentionally emitting large plumes of black exhaust), likely as a statement against electric vehicles.
Sense of Being a Pioneer/Being Different:
Embracing the Unconventional: Many owners are drawn to the Cybertruck precisely because it is so different. They appreciate its unique design and the attention it brings, viewing it as a statement or a bold step into the future of automotive design.
“Love it or Hate it”: Owners often describe the public’s reaction as a “love it or hate it” scenario, with very little in between. This further reinforces the idea that the Cybertruck is a disruptor, challenging traditional notions of vehicle design and public perception.
Conclusion:
The Tesla Cybertruck is not for everyone. Cybertruck owners consistently report that driving the vehicle is a “disruptive” experience due to the unprecedented level of public attention and the wide range of reactions, from enthusiastic admiration to intense disapproval.
It’s clear that the Cybertruck isn’t just a vehicle; it’s a statement on wheels that sparks conversation and strong opinions wherever it goes.
Potential buyers should weigh its unique advantages against its unconventional nature and measure the cost of going to war.
