MADISON (WKOW) -- Some people frustrated with Elon Musk and his involvement in the federal government are taking out their frustrations on his company Tesla.
In turn, some Tesla owners, like David Koeshall, are receiving hate from others for their vehicles.Â
Koeshall's Cybertruck was parked outside of La Brioche True Food on University Avenue in Madison. In a video captured by the truck's built-in cameras, a man rode his bike up next to the truck, stopped, and spit on it.
"It was disturbing," said Koeshall. "I felt violated, maybe a little threatened."
Koeshall said he was prompted to turn on the Cybertruck's cameras after receiving a note on his windshield prior to the spitting incident.
The note read 'Nice Elon Truck, Loser."
"I thought if someone's going to come at me and touch my truck and leave a note, then maybe I should have the cameras to record who it is," said Koeshall.
It doesn't end there. While driving, Koeshall has been flashed the middle finger, among other vulgarities.Â
"It makes me sad that we live in a world where people are willing to do some damage or spread some hate," said Koeshall.
Koeshall put his name down to buy a Cybertruck five years ago, before any sort of political connection surrounding Tesla came about. He said he doesn't understand why people are spiteful against him.
Koeshall drives for Lyft as a side job and said people always enjoy being picked up in the Cybertruck, which he appreciates.
The Shorewood Hills Police Department is currently investigating who spit on the vehicle. Koeshall said he isn't mad at the man who did it, but just wants to understand why he did it.
âIâm not looking for revenge, just an explanation,â said Koeshall. âAnd maybe have the guy detail my car after spitting on it.â
