    Compare that with the absolutely massive number of other trucks with tonneau covers, and how often they get vandalized by racoons.

    The Cybertruck is still a very rare vehicle. 2 instances is quite a lot statistically.

      are you fucking kidding me?! I personally know four people who’s wiring harnesses were destroyed by squirrels. One who’s seats were destroyed by a raccoon that opened an unlocked fucking door, and one who’s vehicle was totalled by a horse.

      You’ve never seen stories like these because none of them happened to a Tesla.

      Oh I know a guy who transported a goat in a BMW, and miraculously nothing bad happened. Does that mean BMW’s are goat proof?!

      No one actually trying to make an empirical claim about this can possibly get away with 1 or 2 randomly claimed/unverified social media posts against over 11,500 cybertrucks. Musk is a piece of shit and his truck is dangerous trash but y’all are letting the lulz cloud your judgment.

        My dearly beloved ham sandwich, this is a meme and not a dissertation. You seem to be the only person here taking it this seriously – I doubt folks walked away from this meme completely convinced there’s now an epidemic of raccoons breaking into Cybertrucks
