Kumait Jaroje is a Cybertruck owner from Worcester, Massachusetts, who says he and his family face constant hostilities simply for driving a golden Cybertruck.
Kumait adds that the harassment is affecting his wife and children, and now his wife refuses even to drive the Cybertruck.
Fade up with all the negativity, Kumait tried to trade in his golden wrapped Tesla Cybertruck and get another Tesla; however, he says the EV maker refused to accept his Cybertruck trade-in.
The Massachusetts Cybertruck owner shared his story on the Tesla Cybertruck Enthusiast group on Facebook.
Here is what he wrote…
“My family is being harassed just because we own a Cybertruck.
Since getting our Cybertruck, we’ve faced constant hostility—people making offensive hand gestures, yelling at us, and now this.
Someone even put a Nazi sticker on our truck. My wife and kids don’t deserve this. In fact, the constant harassment has scared our kids, and now my wife refuses to use the Cybertruck altogether.
Disagreeing with Elon Musk or Donald Trump is one thing, but harassing a family over a vehicle is completely unacceptable.
This needs to stop.”
Below his post, Kumait included a picture of his golden Cybertruck showing that someone had put a sticker on it calling him Nazi and with some expletives.
By the way, before we move forward you need to know that Tesla recently made something seemingly impossible, by making the Cybertruck looking cheap, using the Model X. How? Look at this fresh video from the Youtube Channel of Torque News.
Looking at the comment, most Cybertruck owners sympathized with his plight. Some wondered where Kumait lived to face this much hostility.
A fellow Cybertruck owner, Pedro Ferrer, asks…
“Where do you live? I am in Georgia, and I've had my Cybertruck since March and have only experienced a couple of rude hand gestures, which I laugh at because they've been from some people driving falling apart cars, so just really jealous people.
Now, the internet and social media are a whole other thing, but that is to be expected....”
In response, Kumait says the hate is not limited to online interactions.
He writes..
“I live in Worcester, Massachusetts. It got to the point where people are cutting me off sometimes and screaming out of their windows.”
Kumait adds that he tried to trade in his Cybertruck due to the hostilities; however, Tesla refused to take it back.
He writes…
“I tried to trade in the truck because of that, but Tesla said they won’t accept it!”
Looking at the comments, fellow Cybertruck owners advised him to ignore the sticker and keep driving his truck.
However, Kumait says he’s now afraid something more violent could happen to him.
He writes…
“It is not a 'be cool' sticker. It is someone accusing me of being a Nazi and telling me to buzz off. The truck got scratched many times, and I fixed it without a problem.
That ignorant mentality might have someone throw a rock at the truck next time if we don’t stick out and tell these freaks to stop.”
This is definitely not an ideal situation. However, some Cybertruck owners in the group suggest that he’s getting so much hate because Kumait wrapped his Cybertruck gold.
Others say they have not experienced this much hate driving their all-electric trucks and suggest that he consider getting a less flashy wrap.
Whatever the case, it’s surprising to see how much public hate Cybertruck owners face. What do you think is the cause behind all this negativity? Please let me know in the comments.

Cybertrucks are indeed laughable. It is a terrible vehicle. If someone buys one, they bought ght into the hype and ignored the tons of complaints, recalls, and the obvious and blatant lack of ethics/morals of Musk, who they chose to enrich. I look at the poor owners of cybertrucks with pitty, knowing they wasted their money on such an abomination. It isn't a good truck in any way. It is hideous. None of the hyped stats were ever incorporated in the final product. And Musk is the last man on the planet anyone should enrich, or even pee on if he was on fire. Should have got a Ford Lightning or a Rivian R1T. At least those are real trucks (to the extent an EV truck can be) that don't ignite hatred in some of the motorists that see you.

For better or worse, Elon has connected his business brand to his politics, and linked himself to the Trump brand. So the Tesla brand is now toxic to half the market.
Add to that, that the CyberTruck is the ugliest car on the road today.

I think it's pretty obvious why so many people hate those things. First, they're hideous. They're so poorly designed and built it's laughable. But I don't think you can completely understand the full scope of people's hatred without realizing what a crazy, racist weirdo Musk is, and how that plays on peoples psyche. Sorry he feels harassed. Speaks volumes that the dealer won't take it back. Just like everything else in the idiotic maga world, it's abject stupidity.

The only thing worse than being flipped off because of your vehicle would be being threatened daily because you're a government worker with the imminent threat of losing your job you use to support your family, or maybe being jailed or deported because you aren't white. Now THAT would be awful.

Plenty of us find the truck silly, to me it looks like a Republicans midlife crisis car. My husband says it looks like the 1980s garbage truck from the future. I might point and laugh, I might make judgements about the owner for having such terrible taste, but I wouldn't actually harass the person driving it.

People interpret your purchase of a $100K truck as an endorsement of Musk and his policies and they are not popular. Anyone buying one, seeks attention. These are not stealthy vehicles. If you wanted a vehicle that doesn't attract attention, may I suggest the Ford F150?

I think it's mainly because of Elon & DOGE's involvement with the government. Although, the gold color could also be a large part of the problem. Get rid of the gold color & see if it helps. Otherwise, maybe selling it, if it can't be traded in.
