I Was Worried About My Tesla Cybertruck, So I Parked Away From Everyone. When I Came Out, I Was Shocked to See My CT Dwarfed By Two Ford F-150s

What's it like to own a Tesla Cyberteruck? Here is Victor's super chrome red-wrapped Cybertruck parked between two Ford F-150 trucks, and there's an interesting story behind this picture. Check out one day in the life of this Cybertruck owner. 

The only thing that would have been better is if the Ford on the left of the Tesla Cybertruck had been blue.

How American can you get? A super chrome red-wrapped Tesla Cybertruck parked between a white Ford F-150 and a blue Ford F-150. The F-150 on the left of the Cybertruck is black, but imagine it's blue. 

Here is a snapshot of the day and life of Victor Paulo and his Tesla Cybertruck. On the Tesla Cybertruck Facebook page, he posted an image of his Cybertruck sitting between two Ford F-150s. There's an interesting story behind this picture.

And did you notice the American flag in the background?  

The picture almost seems staged, but it wasn't. Victor says, 

"With all the madness going on, I was a little worried about my truck when I parked. I was the only vehicle in this area. I went to eat and always checked my phone, expecting my Tesla Sentry alarm to go off." 

Imagine owning a Tesla Cybertruck and being afraid to drive it. You live in Las Vegas, where it should be safe from vandalism, but there's always the chance someone could key your controversial truck or spray-paint it with hate words. 

However, today is different. 

Victor shares, "When I returned, I hurried to my truck and was surprised and shocked to see these two large (Ford F-150) trucks parked next to me. It felt like two big brothers looking after me." He had to capture the moment. 

"Especially with the American flag in the back! Americaaaaa (expletive) yeah!!" 

This sense of community and support is what makes owning a Tesla Cybertruck special. However, a few people can ruin your day.  

Picture yourself driving in your Cybertruck, your kids are in the truck, and someone on the highway pulls up next to you and starts shouting and screaming profanities at you. How do you protect your kids from that? 

Should I park my truck and not drive it?

"I've just been pretty worried driving around with my Cybertruck after seeing all the videos and news of vandalism. A couple of weeks ago, I had a crazy erratic driver next to me screaming all sorts of profanity at me for no reason while my kids were in the car, so that didn't help," Victor says. 

Tyler's a Good Dad

I imagine it's a Saturday morning, and his wife needs some alone time. Raising two boys, she has her hands full all week. So, Victor says, 'Hey boys, do you want to eat pancakes?' The boys run around the house yelling Yes, pancakes! 

Now, picture driving your two boys to breakfast, and you are afraid to leave your electric truck parked unattended, so you park in the back of the parking lot away from any other vehicles. You hope. It will be safer, and no one will bother it. 

You Can't Enjoy Your Breakfast

Victor says, "I have a four and a five-year-old, and it's their favorite car of mine. I took my two little boys to Denny's to eat pancakes. They were craving them. We sat down to eat, and I couldn't fully enjoy my time with them as I was genuinely worried about my truck being out in the parking lot by itself like that."

You finish eating breakfast and walk fast to make sure your truck has not been vandalized, and then you see it. 

"I came out, and these two (Ford F-150s) were parked next to me. I loved it. It felt like they were protecting my truck."

You can imagine the relief when Victor saw the two trucks backed into the right and left of his Cybertruck. It had such an impact that he took a picture to capture the moment and remember the feeling. 

I can hear him saying, "Look, boys, those two trucks are protecting our Cybertruck; how cool is that? Wait here, and let me take a quick picture to post on your Facebook page. The boys shout 'Yippie' as they can't wait and run to the truck they love. 

You rush home to show your wife the picture. Your boys run to her first and say, "Look, Mom! Our truck was protected by two other trucks!" 

I'm Not Parking My Cybertruck 

Victor said in the comments, "We still drive it every day. 99% of the time, I get great comments on my truck." 

Conclusion:

Can you imagine this going on thousands of times every day across America? Tesla Cybertruck, Model S, Model 3, Model X, and Model Y owners are afraid to drive their electric cars. They purchased their vehicles to try and make the world a better place, but now they get ridiculed for doing it. 

However, many people admire the Cybertruck's design and appreciate its environmental benefits. It shows that despite the challenges, there is still a lot of positivity and support for Tesla vehicles.
