![From the Wired article "Spit On, Sworn At, and Undeterred: What It’s Like to Own a Cybertruck" - interviews with seven Cybertruck owners.
One of them is Russ Taylor from CA. Excerpt from his interview:
QUESTION: How do you feel about becoming a political lightning rod?
Taylor: "People occasionally just flip [me] off or whatever, but nobody's come up to me and tried to make a statement about anything. Personally, it's kind of dumb. It's just a vehicle. So it's ironic that it would even become a political statement, but nonetheless it is."
[Editor’s note: Taylor was arrested and convicted of conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding in the January 6 attack on the Capitol. He was later pardoned by President Trump.]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:v2i25uvial3o2j33yozcv6ot/bafkreig5q7tstaoyqxoejocnkn7khum3x4hehbitk7766pjjw5f5z3aylu@jpeg)
