REUTERS/Eduardo Munoz/File Photo An owner of a Tesla Cybertruck revealed to Business Insider this week that he was forced to sell his vehicle after being subjected to a bullying campaign from random strangers. In an interview with Business Insider, former Cybertruck owner Ben Baker said that his own daughter implored him to return the vehicle because she believed it was making them a target for critics of Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who have been protesting at Tesla dealerships across the country for weeks. "The first week I drove the Cybertruck, I took my family to Starbucks in it," he explained. "As I was doing that, three people walked behind me and started looking at me and laughing. Then one of them called me a Nazi. I go, 'What are you talking about? I'm just buying this awesome truck. I think it's awesome. I'm not a Nazi.' They were like, 'Whatever, Nazi.' I thought [that]was weird." After this, his daughter implored him to sell the truck because she feared her peers would bully her for being seen in one.
