    says he’s been cut off in traffic

    It’s Massachusetts. That their state pass time

    been yelled at and given the finger

    If everyone you see (Plus, you drive a gold vehicle. Talk about self-absorbed) is an asshole, you might be the asshole

      Hey, the second state pastime is giving the finger and yelling in traffic. We take these pastimes seriously, like sports and drinking.

        The only way he could have made it worse for himself is if he had an RI plate. Mass residents have never been shy about letting people know how they feel about them (for better, or very worse 😅)

          If there’s one thing Connecticut and Massachusetts agree on, it’s Rhode Island (but don’t worry, we can all shit on New Yorkers together)

            News to me! Never been to the northeast. Anything in particular about Rhode island? Or just the typical “this state > a nearby state”?

              It’s almost certainly the neighbors thing. The specific complaints are mostly that Rhode Islanders have a very distinctive accent (it’s no longer super widespread, but think Lois from family guy) and when your friends/relatives move there, they stop thinking of an hourlong drive (to visit you) as a day trip, but that might just be a trend in my circle.

              That, and their clam chowder isn’t real chowder and wtf is coffee milk (yep, those are definitely just neighborly things to pick at). I always liked honey dew better than dunkin though.

                Ha, thanks for sharing. I’m Midwest- Minnesota calls cheese balls (fried) “cheese curds”. Weirdos.

                Nothing wrong with a bit of local pride.

                Different world with the population density. Would rather live vicariously

      Shows how well they have been treated for so long they feel entitled to politeness.

      None of that is threatening or harassing behavior.

    “I wish to buy something that tells everyone that I’m richer and better than them.”

    Later…

    He thinks his family isn’t safe in it… Yet he continues to drive it

    You drive a rolling swastika and BLARING sign of historical wealth inequality that you’ve literally wrapped in gold - you deserve so much more fucking hate culminating in a brief rest of your heavy head that wears the crown on the guillotine. Tone deaf, fucking ghoul.

    It sounds like we all agree. Despite all the rightful cybertruck hate and despite the garish gold color, this driver was not even particularly persecuted. He was just living the life of a normal Bostonian (which always includes other drivers cursing at you, cause that’s what we do here).

    So… This is actually just a non-story. The headline could have been “Ridiculous gold cybertruck exists in Massachusetts, driver treated normally”

    Or perhaps,

    “Driver of ridiculous gold cyber truck somehow still isn’t getting enough attention!”

    Hard to find any sympathy for the guy. A cybertruck costs almost 3 times the amount of comparable electric trucks.

    You pay that much extra because you want the hate.

      I hate Elon as much as the next guy but there’s no need to spread blatant misinformation.

      Cybertruck MSRP: $80-100k

      Ford F-150 Lightning MSRP: $50-90k

      Chevy Silverado EV MSRP: $55-95k

      and that is the majority of your options. Obviously cybertruck isn’t near as capable as the other two and it’s also an ugly piece of shit, but there’s no need to make things up to diss the idiots buying them, they do it themselves.

    Buy overpriced ugly truck from an outward Nazi

    Cover it in shiny gold wrap to draw even more attention and be obnoxious to anyone who doesn’t want to be blinded on the road

    Be surprised when people don’t like you

    If you disagree, don’t retaliate. Don’t be violent. Don’t try to hurt your neighbor.

    If that’s what you believe, maybe don’t drive a symbol that is the opposite of these?

    Man, if only we were hip to what an asshole musk was a month ago. His fans could have known that buying a cybertruck was going to get negative attention. But I guess there were no signs to warn us. And really, who drives cybertrucks more than single moms living paycheck to paycheck, day laborers, and other marginalized folks? We should just assume that anyone in a gold cyber truck had zero idea what they were doing, had no intention of being an edgy dbag, and only uses it to deliver fresh produce to the local food banks.
