That’s funny but it’s probably one or two incidents among the sea of fools who bought this thing and not worth actually speculating some larger trend over

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. 2 is small numbers statistically. Perhaps you meant 2 is quite a lot percentage wise.

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

What's that you say - there's an epidemic of raccoons breaking into Cybertrucks??

I'm off to tweet this immediately.
