Yoni Menaker is the owner of Blue Angel Roofing in Atlanta and says he’s losing a lot of customers because he drives a Cybertruck.
Yoni shares that his company’s page is flooded with negative reviews and adds that he lost $70,000 worth of roofing deals only last month.
Yoni says the customers who terminated the roofing contract specifically told him that the issue was that he drove a Cybertruck.
Clearly, Yoni doesn’t want his company to suffer, but he says he’s in a dilemma because he also loves his Cybertruck and doesn’t want to let it go.
The conflicted Cybertruck owner shared his story on the Cybertruck Owners Only group on Facebook.
Here is what he wrote…
“I have a dilemma. I have started to lose customers because I drive a Cybertruck. I have also received some bad reviews in the past, and I am not sure what to do. I love this truck, and it's the best truck I have ever had.
But last month, we lost around $70k in deals, and the customers said that it was because we drove a Cybertruck.
Any suggestions?
I’m in Atlanta.”
Below his post, Yoni shared a screenshot of a review left on his company’s page.
It says Blue Angel Roofing, and the reviewer goes on to write…
“I’m just going to say, if a roofing company has a Cybertruck, maybe reconsider using them as your roofer.”
The reviewer also added a picture of Yoni’s Cybertruck showing the Blue Angels Roofing logo plastered over it.
This suggests that Yoni is driving his Cybertruck not only for personal use but also as a work truck, taking it to roofing job sites.
It appears that some people were so unhappy with the roofing company's use of a Cybertruck that they decided to go with another company.
This is a surprising turn of events. When Cybertruck started deliveries back in November 2023, businesses were excited to plaster their logos all over it.
There are some businesses that even bought multiple Cybertrucks specifically as an advertisement opportunity.
However, fast-forward a little more than a year, and the Cybertruck has become a very divisive vehicle.
Some Cybertruck owners, such as Zack from the JerryRigEverything YouTube channel, bought a Cybertruck as an advertisement billboard.
Now, Zack says he’ll be selling not only his Cybertruck but all his Tesla products before the end of the year.
Elon Musk loyalists will argue until they’re blue in the face that Musk is not harming Tesla’s brand; however, based on the experiences of Tesla and Cybertruck owners in the real world, that argument is becoming increasingly difficult to make.
In the past few days, we’ve covered the story of a Cybertruck owner who says he was punched in the face simply for driving a Cybertruck.
After this incident, the Cybertruck owner says he’ll leave a $1 bill on every Cybertruck he sees to “spread the love.”
Another retired Cybertruck owner also shared that a guy with a lifted Ford F-350 came at him with his fists balled and ready to fight simply because of his Cybertruck.
The owner of a golden Cybertruck also shared that he, his wife, and his children face constant hostility because they drive a Cybertruck. He adds that because of the harassment, his wife now refuses to drive the Cybertruck altogether.
Overall, it’s interesting to see all the challenges Cybertruck owners are facing in the real world. Please let me know what you think in the comments.

"However, fast-forward a little more than a year, and the Cybertruck has become a very divisive vehicle."
Um, no. Everyone was dunking on these dumb looking trucks from the moment the design was revealed. The running joke was that it looked like they were rendered on a Playstation 1. It's not like they were hailed as revolutionary and then suddenly people turned on them because Musk is a fascist. We already knew that.

If you show up to my house in a Cybertruck asking me to pay for a service, I am going to assume you’re ripping me off and also a dipshit. Sorry.

I think he should sell his business and love in his truck and pretend that the world outside doesn't exist and just hide there until he gets old and dies.
The end.

By the way, you don’t show up giving an estimate driving $1 million Ferrari with $100,000 Rolex watch and a $10,000 suit wearing a ton of gold chains with lots of diamonds and pinky rings with 5 carat diamonds and 5 carat diamond earrings. That basically says you make too much profit and I’d rather do business with somebody that shows up casually in a nice golf shirt with a company logo embroidered on my shirt and their company name, magnetically attached or painted onto the side of their vehicle. That says to me he’s a hard-working businessman and watches his money. There’s a reason today 90% of car dealerships the salesman is dressed casually and not wearing a three-piece suit and a Rolex. That’s one reason they don’t wear those things the other reason his car salesman on average don’t make a whole lot of money and they can’t afford those things but if they could they would, and someone would need to educate them. Clients would rather do business with somebody that doesn’t appear to successful because they know the more frill the salesman GLOATS about the more profit they pocket and that profit only comes from the client. A Tesla work truck is not a work truck. Sell your personality and skill not your ride.

What is there to think about $840,000 a year lost because you wanna show future clients you’re a big ego or garage it and buy a conventional work truck that you use Monday through Friday and making an extra $840,000 a year And make the Tesla of your weekend ride. If you’re that good of a businessman, you shouldn’t be asking us these questions it does not have the looks of a real work truck. It looks like you want to show off your success, and I personally would rather do business with somebody That’s practical and does not gloat his money. You earned having the toy if your numbers are truthful, you’ve already taken the loss on it can’t get your money out of it so park it and make it your weekend, girlfriend.

If you're dumb enough to buy one of these Swaztikars, I don't trust your ability to get the job done correctly. FYI, buy two ford f150 lightnings for the same price.
