It's not a good time to drive a Tesla Cybertruck — and empire eroticenot just because it's been the subject of seemingly endless recalls and issues. Folks seem to not be happy with Elon Musk and they're taking it out on Teslas, especially the impossible-to-miss Cybertruck.
Case in point: A Cybertruck got mercilessly and relentlessly booed at Mardi Gras in New Orleans this week. Video footage is pretty wild and, to be frank, a little funny.
Here’s a cybertruck getting booed at Orpheus to brighten your Lundi Gras:

As you can see and hear, the entire crowd rallies to boo the Cybertruck. This apparently happened at the Krewe of Orpheus parade during Lundi Gras on Monday, a day before Mardi Gras. Unconfirmed reports on Reddit and elsewhere claimed the trucks were bombarded with beads thrown in a not-so-friendly manner. It apparently got so aggressive that the a Cybertruck window broke despite Tesla claiming they're near indestructible.

Cybertruck just rolled by with Orpheus on Saint Charles. In 36 years of coming to New Orleans for Mardi Gras, those were the first boos — long, sustained —I’ve ever heard for a parade.

Teslas, and Cybertrucks in particular, have become the subjects of ire lately. Owners of the car have shared stories online of being relentlessly mocked. It makes sense; no physical item better represents Elon Musk's whole deal than the Cybertruck. And a lot of people really don't like Musk. Apparently, even the good times of Mardi Gras didn't stop that hate.
