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.”

Tesla owners should snap Polaroids of other Tesla owners out in the wild, while juicing their own Tesla. Make sure to capture the family and the family dog. Leave it with a note on the driver side window. "I see you. Have a nice day".

Rubber ducks won't become a projectile that can harm you in collision.. if you never were a child with aggressive siblings and hot wheels in supply, you know taking one to the head from a child's arm is painful enough. Cybertruck drivers already do have a practice they share, a sense of entitlement on the road.

You want to own a cyber truck, knock yourself out. They are not the do all, end all. They might have 1,000 horsepower, but they have no torque. The Ram TRX has 1,000 hp. and a lot of torque. I'll put my Team Heavy Duty up against it all day long. I didn't need to stop and spend several hours recharging it. My truck cost less and it costs less to operate. Jeeps will do a lot of things cyber trucks won't. You cyber truck snobs need to wake up and smell what you're shoveling.

Instead of rubber ducks they should leave plastic turds on each other's hoods...or real ones.
