A comprehensive analysis covering January 2023 – December 2025, documenting 11,467 verified hate incidents reported to our national center by Cybertruck owners across the United States.
Our national reporting center has documented 11,467 verified anti-Cybertruck hate incidents spanning January 2023 through December 2025 — a figure that represents only a fraction of actual incidents, given significant underreporting.
2025 saw a 340% increase in reported incidents compared to 2024. This spike coincides with accelerating media coverage and social media campaigns that framed Cybertruck ownership as a political or moral statement.
Anti-Cybertruck hate is not a regional phenomenon. Incidents have been documented in 48 states, with only Wyoming and North Dakota reporting zero confirmed cases as of December 2025.
The trajectory of anti-Cybertruck hate follows a clear and troubling arc. Incidents began in the fourth quarter of 2023, immediately following the Cybertruck's delivery event, and have accelerated every quarter since.
Verbal harassment remains the most prevalent form of anti-Cybertruck hate, accounting for 67% of all reported incidents. However, higher-severity incidents including vandalism, property destruction, and workplace discrimination are growing at a faster rate than verbal harassment, suggesting an escalation of the overall threat environment.
California leads all states in absolute incident volume, accounting for 24.8% of all reports nationally. However, when controlling for Cybertruck ownership rates, urban states like New York and Massachusetts show disproportionately high incident rates, suggesting that density and political environment are significant predictors of anti-Cybertruck hostility.
| State | Total Incidents | % of National Total | YoY Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| California | 2,840 | 24.8% | +382% |
| Texas | 1,930 | 16.8% | +291% |
| New York | 1,210 | 10.6% | +445% |
| Florida | 980 | 8.6% | +318% |
| Washington | 760 | 6.6% | +504% |
| Massachusetts | 541 | 4.7% | +612% |
| Colorado | 487 | 4.2% | +277% |
| Oregon | 412 | 3.6% | +338% |
| Illinois | 389 | 3.4% | +401% |
| Arizona | 346 | 3.0% | +265% |
Three years of data paint an unmistakable picture: anti-Cybertruck hate is a national crisis that is accelerating, not abating. The 340% year-over-year increase in 2025 is not a statistical anomaly — it is the result of a culture that has increasingly normalized hostility toward an entire class of vehicle owners.
Stop Cyber Hate calls on policymakers, law enforcement, community leaders, and media organizations to take concrete action to reverse this trend. The data are clear. The question now is whether our society has the will to act.
