Tesla Cybertruck owners suggest starting a new tradition akin to that of Jeep owners, who place rubber ducks on each other's vehicles to express appreciation. This idea began when a Tesla fan was spotted leaving Hot Wheels on Cybertrucks in parking lots.

Ryan Wycoff, a Cybertruck owner from Texas, initially felt uneasy when he saw that his Cybertruck’s sentry mode had been triggered while it was parked in an employee parking lot.
Given all the vandalism and anti-Tesla attacks, it’s not surprising that Ryan feared the worst. However, he says he was pleasantly surprised after watching the sentry footage.
Rather than a vandal, the person who triggered the Cybertruck’s Sentry camera is a Tesla fan.
This person approached Ryan’s Cybertruck to place a Hot Wheels Cybertruck on it as a show of support for the owner.
Ryan was definitely pleased with what he saw and he shared the story in the Tesla Cybertruck group on Facebook.
Here is what he wrote…
“So I got back from a four-day trip today, only to find that the sentry mode on my truck was activated in the employee lot.
Upon further review, I found that a big Cybertruck fan had left me a present on my tire—a Hot Wheels Cybertruck model!”
Below his post, Ryan included a video taken by his Cybertruck’s sentry camera.
As you can see below, a young man can be seen approaching a Cybertruck in a parking lot.
The guy approaches the vehicle, waves at the sentry camera, and holds up a Hot Wheels Cybertruck model in his hands.
He then signals that he’s leaving the Hot Wheels Cybertruck on the real Cybertruck fender, gives the camera a thumbs up, and simply leaves.
Given all the negativity surrounding Tesla and the Cybertruck, the owner was certainly pleased with this show of support. Looking at the comments, other Cybertruck owners also expressed their happiness and praised the young man for his actions.
A fellow Cybertruck owner, Joshua Cervini writes…
“Finally some positive Sentry footage for a change 👌🏻”
Another Cybertruck owner Manny Rodriguez adds…
“I was expecting acts of vandalism. Pleasantly surprised. Cool of that kid to do. I hope he gets a Cybertruck.”
A fellow Cybertruck owner, Marlon Valle, suggested that Elon Musk should be informed about this young man’s action writing...
“Put it on X and tag Elon Musk!”
Other Cybertruck owners go so far as to suggest that this young man deserves to be famous, and some suggested tracking him down to be able to send him money.
A fellow Cybertruck owner, Casey Bolen, writes..
“Friggin track this guy down and send him money!”
Overall, it would be an understatement to say that Cybertruck owners were happy with the young guys' actions.
They were actually so pleased that, following his footsteps, fellow Cybertruck owners suggested starting a similar trend where they leave Hot Wheels Cybertrucks to show support for other owners.
A Fellow Cybertruck owner, JD Snead, writes…
“Maybe all Cybertruck supporters should start leaving these on Cybertrucks!
Like the Jeep people leave rubber ducks!
What about it people!?”
JD shares this story on the Cybertruck Owners Club forum, where he expands on his idea and writes…
“The Jeep people leave rubber ducks on each other’s Jeeps as a sign of appreciation.
Should we all start leaving Cybertruck Hot Wheels to show our support for Cybertrucks?
I know I’m going to start!”
Cybertruck owners on Facebook were enthusiastic about this idea; however, Tesla fans in the Cybertruck Owners Club forum were surprisingly dismissive of it.
One Cybertruck owner, Jeff says, no matter the intention, he doesn’t want random people touching his truck.
He writes…
“Yeah, no.
Last thing I want is strangers messing with my truck, regardless of how enthused they might be.”

I would suggest leaving a hot wheel of a real truck... or a rubber turd. Let's face it, it's taken the place of the Pontiac Aztec. At least the Aztec was somewhat useful.
Bags full of shi. Lol I can…
Bags full of shi. Lol I can’t imagine any self respecting media outlet publishing this drivel. Omg lick some more boots with your worthless cyber trucks and hope they don’t catch on fire or fall apart while driving. Hahahahahahahaha
Rubber ducks flying around…
Rubber ducks flying around in the cab of a jeep in the event of a high speed crash aren't going to hurt. Die cast hotwheels....I'm okay with shrapnel flying around in a tesla.
Exactly!! So much problems…
Exactly!! So much problems with these vehicles but yet they're still allowed to operate on the road.
Funny comment about the…
Funny comment about the trash bag.😁 I own a CT with a devil's red wrap and someone left me a red rubber ducky with devil horns. I thought it interesting and cute. They nailed it and I don't even know if they knew it!
Surprised they aren't…
Surprised they aren't smashing those fragile windshields. Cybertrucks aren't a good vehicle. Why would you want one when they aren't anywhere being a special or limited vehicle. Only reason why jeeps get "ducked" is cause jeeps have been around since ww2. CyberSucks. Have not.
Cyber truck Hot Wheels are…
Cyber truck Hot Wheels are rare to find and cost $25 on average to purchase on aftermarket currently.
I am a hot wheels collector and have yet to see one in stores. They only came out less than a year ago
Pretty silly to go this route 😜
Tesla owners should start a…
Tesla owners should start a trend of leaving used dildos on each other cars. The ducks for jeep was always super dumb but Tesla owners are somehow dumber.
Just be thankful they do…
Just be thankful they do leave a hot wheels. With all the thugs out there it would be nice to know someone is watching over your vehicle. If I could afford a Tesla I would love this.
He figured that the cyber…
He figured that the cyber truck would run over it, proud jeep owner, owned 16 jeeps no cyber truck.
He thought the cyber truck…
He thought the cyber truck would run over it, proud owner of over 16 jeeps, have 1 now w no ducks.
Uhhhh, no. Why reward these…
Uhhhh, no. Why reward these peckerheads for buying anything the Musk-ron has a hand in. I would rather walk than put my rear in the seat of a Tesla.
Just when you thought Jeep…
Just when you thought Jeep people were the most obnoxious vehicle owners.
I'm not a cyber truck owner,…
I'm not a cyber truck owner, but this story is absolutely awesome. Look at how many people enjoyed this random act from the individual.
Should call him "The Hot Wheel Kid".
This is a Hot Wheels/diecast…
This is a Hot Wheels/diecast collector's activity. This is a R.O.A.K. (Random Act Of Kindness) where a collector admiring a 1:1 scale vehicle of their hobby wants to share enthusiasm with someone who owns the real thing. It could bring a little light it to someone's day.
What a bunch of dorks! Tesla…
What a bunch of dorks! Tesla Dorks just like jeep dorks. The worst part is they both think they are cool. Ugh can't stand it when Tesla dorks talk about how quick their cars are, ALL electric cars are quick. It's so funny because you know they had shitty cars before and now they want to be part of something. Jeep dorks rake their doors off please put them back on your are not cool nor do you look good. When was the last time you saw a jeep dork with the doors off that you wanted to look at.
Anyone who owns anything…
Anyone who owns anything from tesla will soon be regretting that purchase.They will all be torched sooner or later.
