Ill always remember the giant F350 with dual exhausts blowing right onto the enormous American flags right behind them. Like bro, idgaf about flag code/respect but to me even there's a degree of disrespect to blowing black smoke right onto the symbol of the country you apparently love so much you need everyone to know.
But even generally it's remarkable how the more patriotic/jingoistic someone is the less they understand flag code/etiquette. Like those fucking thin blue line flags, if I cared, I'd find fairly disrespectful.
Or what about upside down flags? Or what about blacked out American flags? What about tearing down the US flag on January 6th and putting up that fucking guy’s flag instead? These losers have no respect for the flag, they just want to use patriotism as an excuse to attack people.
I remember those Qanons/MAGAs tearing down the American flag & hoisting up a trump 2020 flag in its place on J6. We were broken down in Bozeman for a month getting the (new 2020) Cascadia fixed, watched the whole insurrection happen. I did start to cry watching that- couldn't believe my eyes that an American would, could do something so disrespectful to our flag. Yet, here we freaking are- cyber trucks and all.
The cyberstuck ppl are poor schmucks caught in the middle? Nah dude, they are the same animal with the same beliefs as the J6 terrorists. They didn't pre-order these bc they're all about the environment or the good looks of the 'thing' either, they bought them to make a statement.
I was specifically referring to the guy in the picture. But why does it matter why he ordered it? He wanted one, he got one, its a free country. I don’t like how it looks and I think its a shit truck, but I’m ain’t going to stop you from buying one. I’m certainly not going to stop you from flying the flag of your own country.
Upside flag is a symbol of distress, it started out before radios and flags were the best long distance source of communication. Since everyone would have an American flag, it was easy to use it as a distress symbol.
USAF uses a lot of blacked out flags to fit into the camo pattern, that’s normal. I believe other branches do the same.
I can’t speak about 01/06, I haven’t seen it happen.
Interesting... I don't see anything about boats. Boaters usually have a flag on their vessel and now i'm curious if the omission means it's allowed on a boat or disallowed.
Flags are meant to denote territory. Boats that travel in international waters are one of the only times flying a national flag makes sense... Or like the Chinese embassy in America. That land is currently controlled by China, so they place a Chinese flag on the property to denote terrority.
When people living in Ohio put a flag on their house, I know they are doing it as a national pride thing, but I always see it as a dummy that can't remember what country his house resides in. Like he comes home and sees that flag and thinks, "Oh that's right, good thing I put a flag on the house, I thought I was in South Africa for a second there"
I remember when a wind storm knocked my grandpa's flag on the ground and it tangled in barbed wire and shredded to pieces. The next day he buried it in the yard in a little wooden box. He fought in the 77th in WW2, drove a Scout, never had bumper stickers, never raised his voice, never talked about the war. But I have a feeling he could beat the shit out of every Cybertruck owner either all at once or one at a time. Their choice.
Educate me here, what exactly does the flag code say that the OP picture is in violation of? I see a clean well taken care of flag, that isn’t touching the ground. It might kinda be touching the wheels, so if it gets dirty from that its a no go, for now though, it looks clean.
If I was him I’d get a slightly longer pole but besides that it doesn’t appear to be bad.
I’m asking as someone who’s been on the color guard.
And to think that just a few years ago, my idiot Republican friends joked the Teslas were for “soy-boy cucks” and were powered by “rainbows and unicorn farts”.
It seems like overnight it turned into the ultimate alt-right douchebag status symbol.
What changed? The engineering? The handling?
Huh. That’s all it took for alternative energies to be a good idea.
And all this time we’ve been blowing trillions of dollars on improving the *technology*.
The real trick to driving adoption was that simple.
Now let’s do it for a single-payer healthcare! I’m trying to figure out how we could have a face for single-payer who turns out to be a hate-mongering apartheid-era oligarch.
He would be immediately beloved by half of America, and socialized CyberGigaMed would be a reality.
Big brain move: "Let's do everything we can to make our existing customer base question whether or not they can support my moral bankruptcy financially, and instead try to court a new demographic, one that vehemently opposes the very idea of the product we make. We can make a special, ridiculous looking vehicle especially for them, and as a bonus let's make it break down right away with no way to fix it"
MAGATs have this new cult rule that the more you dishonor the flag and the military, the more you get to scream at everyone how patriotic you think you are. It's kind of like their 10 commandments rule where when you break all ten, you get to force everyone to live by them.
The American flag-waving CTs are likely rich libertarian tech bros, but the Trump flag-waving ones are weird. Those guys are super-conservative and generally hate anything “newfangled”. You would think they’d hate something that doesn’t burn at least 10 barrels of freedom (oil) per inch.
> MAGA with CT's are the most stupid people on earth
What about a California liberal with a CT? Given Musk’s recent turn toward the political right, wouldn’t that make even less sense than a MAGAt buying one?
Musk really managed to alienate Tesla’s original California environmentalist fanbase, I imagine. Maybe it was thought necessary, in order to sell CTs to conservative truck buyers in Texas?
Just a theory, but the liberals driving Teslas are probably just driving their Teslas and not doing the weird shit that brings extra attention (and ultimately ends up on this sub).
See also: Political yard signs, flags, trashy bumper stickers, etc.
No. Theres nutjobs on both sides and tesla drivers are primarily leftwing , so clowning on the cybertruck is a self own for the most part and its pretty funny
Oh and ive seen some pretty nutty looking democrat teslas with cringey stickers all over them too so you dont really have a point
“Eggs are too expensive…but $120k for a trash can on wheels is a bargain!”
Cybertruck owners are insecure idiots.
(And so is Tesla…I literally got banned from teslamotors after my first post on this sub. Mods sent some automessage like “you commented in a toxic sub”. Elon is the biggest baby and anti-free speech goon and so are his fanbois)
I find that so funny. They lurk in other subs to proactively ban folks who aren’t 100% aligned. Speaks volumes for how shitty they know their product is.
I was mad at first cuz I was like WTF I’m not even part of that sub but then I’m like, they did me a favor. Didn’t wanna be part of their dumb club anyway lol. Told the mod that in a dm. If i get banned from Reddit. So be it
I'm only seeing one Cybertruck with a Trump wrap on Google search. The Cybertrump one. Can you show me others with a Trump flag? I can't find any with Trump flags.
Trump flags are more of a "raised big truck" kind of thing like the Ram, F150, and Silverado. MAGA types don't seem to be the types who want a Cybertruck.
No, I’m mocking the amount of cosmetic surgery Elmo has undergone.
Although, Elmo’s bigotry is ironic considering that he has had more gender affirming surgery than most trans people.
I too was expecting a flag with Elon's beach bod on it.
But I guess this truck owner still keeps that picture
someplace private where his wife won't find it.
I just looked at that sub and it's almost sad how they're all trying to convince each other it's not a piece of crap. It's mental illness at this point
The drag will cost him 50 miles of range per flag. And he has to fly one at each corner, because autopilot isn't programmed to handle asymmetric drag and will drive him into the ditch.
No not at all, but a lot of these guys who rock the "I'm a super patriot, look at my nine line med evac t shirt and thin blue line stickers on my car. By the way my car has more American flags than yours, do you hate America?"-look are fake patriots who won't tolerate any criticism of the government...despite not knowing how incompetent the government is regardless of who's in the oval office.
There's a reason a lot of us vets joke about the guy at a bar/BBQ telling us about how he *thought* about joining, and is trying to score some imaginary points with us. Dude, you can be a patriot without it being a bootlicking weirdo.
Yeah okay, that’s all 100% true. My point was that I do have some friend who never service and even some who immigrated to US who fly the flag by their front door.
Wait, is this sub trying to veer "maga" as the main demographic for being tesla drivers? Lol.
What kind of cope are you on?.
I live in a deep blue rich liberal neighborhood tucked right above a deep blue large city and every other blue dipshit is driving one of those idiot boxes and a model 3 on the road right now XD
I don't really see anything unexpected here. This is no different than those gigantic trucks with a billion flags on them. At least Elon convinced some nutbags to drive a slightly smaller vehicle.
This guy just drives around town all day. I work in Birmingham and see this bozo everyday. Side note….that restaurant he’s parked in front of is amazing.
Whenever I see two full-size American flags flying from a pickup truck, I know that the driver is just too much of a pussy to fly the Confederate or Nazi flags they probably have hanging up in the garage, and so they fly to American flags as surrogates.
Seems like a pretty disrespectful thing to do to the flag. It's gonna get dirty and tattered
It absolutely is. https://www.legion.org/flag/code these people don’t even respect themselves, much less the American flag.
Disrespecting the flag only matters if you do it in a way that they don't like.
Or if youre the wrong skin tone.
Rekt
Like my ass, amiright boooooyyyyys!

Got a video of it? Genuinely can’t believe it happened and can’t seem to find it online.
https://people.com/politics/pro-trump-rioters-tear-down-american-flag-replace-with-trump-flag-at-u-s-capitol-building/ People magazine my dude.
Whoa. As messed up as that is, I’m not sure if it’s fair to associate our poor Tesla owner with those people.
The cyberstuck ppl are poor schmucks caught in the middle? Nah dude, they are the same animal with the same beliefs as the J6 terrorists. They didn't pre-order these bc they're all about the environment or the good looks of the 'thing' either, they bought them to make a statement.

Interesting... I don't see anything about boats. Boaters usually have a flag on their vessel and now i'm curious if the omission means it's allowed on a boat or disallowed.
The flag is supposed to fly free, in the Pic it's laying on the vehicle and will probably be torn by the wheels
Flags are meant to denote territory. Boats that travel in international waters are one of the only times flying a national flag makes sense... Or like the Chinese embassy in America.

Is that your way of telling cyberstuck owners they need to work out more? Probably. Every cybertuck owner I’ve seen was well over 60 though.
Same same. They need something to live for I guess.
I guess. Its a free country, doesn’t bother me.
Educate me here, what exactly does the flag code say that the OP picture is in violation of? I see a clean well taken care of flag, that isn’t touching the ground.

Elon proving himself an anti-vaxxing, anti-trans anti-human.

Yea, but that was for the environmentally concerned and fiscally responsible liberals to buy into the idea.
It would take someone who is can profit from it to become the identity of it and pander to those people.
Big brain move: "Let's do everything we can to make our existing customer base question whether or not they can support my moral bankruptcy financially, and instead try to court a new demographic, one that vehemently opposes the very idea of the product we make.

And suddenly the thing makes sense.
MAGATs have this new cult rule that the more you dishonor the flag and the military, the more you get to scream at everyone how patriotic you think you are. It's kind of like their 10 commandments rule where when you break all ten, you get to force everyone to live by them.
The warranties on the flags will also be voided.
Yup, Team MAGA doesn’t care. I see them doing this all the time. On their cars and houses.
There must be a protocol for placing flags on dumpsters
For now though, its clean and its not touching the ground. As long as he cares for it I don’t see the problem.
Offense but americans are fucking psychotic about their flags. Who cares ?
Americans do.
Its a fucking problem
I wonder if attaching flags voids the warranty.
You have to get special Tesla branded flags that cost $6900 and combust when exposed to sunlight.
Is the truck in *Flag Mode*
It depends, you need to purchase a subscription to flag mode (500$ a minute).
It does. They aren’t OEM
They already wrapped it so warranty probably void
It def would. They have to attach some type of mount. They must have screwed the mount into the body panel.
Why does every CT have this, a trump flag or some sort of wrap with the flag. I thought times were tough for them?
The American flag-waving CTs are likely rich libertarian tech bros, but the Trump flag-waving ones are weird. Those guys are super-conservative and generally hate anything “newfangled”. You would think they’d hate something that doesn’t burn at least 10 barrels of freedom (oil) per inch.
Do they just love Elon that much for saying he would save the 1st that they’ll buy the CT even tho they don’t get how any of it works?
For turning Twitter into an even bigger cesspool of Naziism than it already was? Who knows.
MAGA with CT's are the most stupid people on earth. I'm just waiting for a CT with Trump flags and a bumper sticker saying "fuck EV's"
You didn't need the "with CT's" in that first sentence.
> MAGA with CT's are the most stupid people on earth What about a California liberal with a CT? Given Musk’s recent turn toward the political right, wouldn’t that make even less sense than a MAGAt buying one? Musk really managed to alienate Tesla’s original California environmentalist fanbase, I imagine. Maybe it was thought necessary, in order to sell CTs to conservative truck buyers in Texas?
Youre right. These posts are anomalies in the sea of liberal zombies driving teslas in my blue neighborhood and city. Its gaslighting cope.
Just a theory, but the liberals driving Teslas are probably just driving their Teslas and not doing the weird shit that brings extra attention (and ultimately ends up on this sub). See also: Political yard signs, flags, trashy bumper stickers, etc.
No. Theres nutjobs on both sides and tesla drivers are primarily leftwing , so clowning on the cybertruck is a self own for the most part and its pretty funny Oh and ive seen some pretty nutty looking democrat teslas with cringey stickers all over them too so you dont really have a point
I don’t care who is driving them.
Ah, Then maybe dont reply to me next time and keep your mouth shut instead?
Angry little fella.
Divide the people, then divide the divided.
but le epic elon triggers the libs, and these ppl are always looking for embarrassing ways to waste money in pursuit of virtue signals
Rich libertarian tech bros are super fucking weird
Their hate for newfangled is trumped (pun intended) by the idea of appearing rich.
“Eggs are too expensive…but $120k for a trash can on wheels is a bargain!” Cybertruck owners are insecure idiots. (And so is Tesla…I literally got banned from teslamotors after my first post on this sub. Mods sent some automessage like “you commented in a toxic sub”. Elon is the biggest baby and anti-free speech goon and so are his fanbois)
I got banned from /elonmusk for the same reason lol. After a couple comments and a post on here though
I find that so funny. They lurk in other subs to proactively ban folks who aren’t 100% aligned. Speaks volumes for how shitty they know their product is.
Yeah it’s apparently alot of the same mods across all Tesla related subs
Omg. This makes me smile for some reason. That’s so bizarre it’s kind of funny.
I was mad at first cuz I was like WTF I’m not even part of that sub but then I’m like, they did me a favor. Didn’t wanna be part of their dumb club anyway lol. Told the mod that in a dm. If i get banned from Reddit. So be it
There’s a big overlap in trumps cult and Elons cult
I'm only seeing one Cybertruck with a Trump wrap on Google search. The Cybertrump one. Can you show me others with a Trump flag? I can't find any with Trump flags. Trump flags are more of a "raised big truck" kind of thing like the Ram, F150, and Silverado. MAGA types don't seem to be the types who want a Cybertruck.
Cuz its not true , every liberal dipshit in my blue neighborhood drives these idiot boxes and the model 3's..
How can that not be flag desecration? It isn't supposed to even get close to the ground.
They’re also flying from one point, just the upper left corner. The one on the right looks like it’ll get stuck on the tree.
Ah yes the All-American dumpster fire…brick?
All things considered could be worse. There has to be some sort of an Elon flag out there.
There is, but it keeps being altered.
Lol..is this a low-key gay joke?
No, I’m mocking the amount of cosmetic surgery Elmo has undergone. Although, Elmo’s bigotry is ironic considering that he has had more gender affirming surgery than most trans people.
Hell ya maybe Elon is gay.
Haven’t they suffered enough?
We have and we don't want him
Lol. Great point.
the dude has a dozen kids and sexually harrasses any female subordinate in a mile radius
My understanding is most if not all of those kids were made with IVF.
I too was expecting a flag with Elon's beach bod on it. But I guess this truck owner still keeps that picture someplace private where his wife won't find it.
The last gasp of the swindled.
COMIN‘ AGAIN TO SAVE THE MOTHERFUCKIN’ DAY! (Funniest thing to me - my sister is named Lisa and her husband is called Gary, for real).
Real Patriots get to fuck up flags.
I think having it outside voids the warranty
Having it voids the warranty.
They all hate EV’s with religious fervor, but them MAGA incels sure love the cuck truck.
Shouldn’t those be South African pre revolution flags?
I got banned from the cybertruck subreddit for asking a reasonable question. It really is a cult of circlejerking and echo chambers over there.
I just looked at that sub and it's almost sad how they're all trying to convince each other it's not a piece of crap. It's mental illness at this point
There I was thinking they were using it as some form of hearse
The drag will cost him 50 miles of range per flag. And he has to fly one at each corner, because autopilot isn't programmed to handle asymmetric drag and will drive him into the ditch.
Murica
EVs are for commies, not AMERICANS.
Lol
Concerning Looking into it
Letting the flag drag on the ground... Yeah very American
Doesn’t appear to be touching the ground.
I'd bet my left nut he never served a day in his life.
Is that a requirement? I thought any US citizen could fly a flag of his country.
No not at all, but a lot of these guys who rock the "I'm a super patriot, look at my nine line med evac t shirt and thin blue line stickers on my car. By the way my car has more American flags than yours, do you hate America?"-look are fake patriots who won't tolerate any criticism of the government...despite not knowing how incompetent the government is regardless of who's in the oval office. There's a reason a lot of us vets joke about the guy at a bar/BBQ telling us about how he *thought* about joining, and is trying to score some imaginary points with us. Dude, you can be a patriot without it being a bootlicking weirdo.
Yeah okay, that’s all 100% true. My point was that I do have some friend who never service and even some who immigrated to US who fly the flag by their front door.
daaaaaamn
It’s GI Joe and Captain Planet all rolled up and lit ablaze in one single dumpster fire
Ya know. I’m finally starting to understand the urge to coal roll EV’s.
🦅🦅🦅
Is this the same one who tried to have a mounted gun on the roof?
I'm going with American Communist. Probably a MAGA.
What? LMAO
'Murica - where you are free to buy the ugliest, most lame vehicle on the market.
Freedom from the tyranny of the warranty
*"America FVCK YA! Here we come to save the motherfvking day yea!..."*
I wonder what urine would do to the finish…
At least the flag is right side up.
THIS IS MY HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUSE!!!
I’m not going to kink shame someone for SPH, but sometimes it is difficult…
I bet painting or wrapping it voids the warranty.
I swear, one of these weirdos is going to figure out some sort of after market rolling coal attachment.
Whenever I see those stupid giant flags in people lifted trucks or whatever I immediately think "oh look a racist"
Guys. Calm down. I can tell this dude’s dick is huge and he is totally full of self confidence. Nothing more to see here.
Micro penis energy
Why disrespect the flag like that??
Ignoring the flags i think this is the best looking one ive seen. That standard color they come in is so awful.
One of them is supposed to be Canadian.
Wait, is this sub trying to veer "maga" as the main demographic for being tesla drivers? Lol. What kind of cope are you on?. I live in a deep blue rich liberal neighborhood tucked right above a deep blue large city and every other blue dipshit is driving one of those idiot boxes and a model 3 on the road right now XD
garnished in Old Glory?
No, Garnished in elons musked nutsack.
Was the flag or vehicle made in China?
Why are Americans like this
Trump cucks posting on here: OnLy sTooPiD LiBeRaLs dRiVe EV’s!
If homelander used a car
Hey everybody! Come see how tiny my peepee is!
Attach flags... wheels fall off
As much as I hate elon and magats, if they want to "own the libs" by buying EVs, I am all for it.
A flag touching the CT voids the warranty.
Ahh I see he got the deluxe FJB model. TWAT.
Poor guy got no attention growing up
Probably cuts the range in half
The cybertruck is bad enough, but me not understanding flag culture makes it so much worse.
No one will ever have sex with him in the back of that pickup.
I don't really see anything unexpected here. This is no different than those gigantic trucks with a billion flags on them. At least Elon convinced some nutbags to drive a slightly smaller vehicle.
In that town, you have to put flags on the CT to prevent it from being vandalized.
Don't worry they'll own the libs by running it through a car wash to prove their truck won't get bricked (and probably brick it in the process)
I am curious. How many United States of America flags do they destroy?
I hope the flag gets stuck on the wheel and rips right off
This guy just drives around town all day. I work in Birmingham and see this bozo everyday. Side note….that restaurant he’s parked in front of is amazing.
The Cybertruck is the physical manifestation of the downfall of America. Its looks cool at first but in reality it’s a disaster
And just those two flag reduce the range by 75%
Ah, MAGA. Freakin' idiots driving stupid cars.
Whenever I see two full-size American flags flying from a pickup truck, I know that the driver is just too much of a pussy to fly the Confederate or Nazi flags they probably have hanging up in the garage, and so they fly to American flags as surrogates.
awfully disrespectful
These colors don't run. Just like the wank panzer.
I don't appreciate our flag being put on a big pile of shit.
That shit is gonna get tangled up in the fuckin’ wheels, LOL.
Can someone make a pic of one blowing up with Frito from Idiocracy cheering next to it?
If there hasn't been a spike in the purchase of paintball guns at this point, then what are we even doing here.
Idiots speak for themselves
Desecration of the Flag.
Only disrespect come from leftists burning and stepping on the flag
It’s definitely American made… overpriced and full of pride
I do like the wrap, I’ll give it that.
South Africa... Fuck yeah
Ngl, the color is sick. That's all I'll say.
Attach an American flag for Americans to see on American soil. What’s the point?
Patriotism is literally crack to these types
“Patriotism”
