Travis Carter, a resident of Portland, Maine, bought a Tesla Cybertruck, a unique car that attracts a lot of attention. Carter, who owns a marijuana dispensary, didn’t expect the level of attention his new truck would bring. Now, he’s not sure if he made the right choice.
Carter’s Cybertruck is one of only two in all of Maine, making him stand out wherever he goes. Some people react positively, taking pictures and showing excitement. But others react negatively, with gestures like thumbs-down and middle fingers. The truck has even been spat on and scratched.
Carter admits he’s not comfortable with all the attention. He didn’t buy the Cybertruck to be in the spotlight; he’s actually quite shy. He finds it strange when everyone stares at him at stoplights.
Despite the negative reactions, Carter tries to stay positive. He knows that any publicity, good or bad, can benefit his marijuana shop, where he often parks the truck. However, he questions whether all the attention is worth it. If given the chance, he’s not sure he would buy the Cybertruck again.
Some people in Portland, Maine, have had mild reactions to seeing the Cybertruck for the first time. Some joked that aliens had landed, while others were simply surprised.
Initially, the novelty of the Cybertruck amazed people. However, as time passed, some reactions turned negative. Carter has encountered hostility, including people yelling at him and giving him the middle finger.
Carter put down a deposit for the Cybertruck in 2019 and forgot about it until earlier this year when he decided to go through with the purchase. Despite its unconventional appearance, Carter appreciates the uniqueness of the Cybertruck and likes to stand out from the crowd.
