First of all, I would like to apologize to Tesla Cybertruck owners. Y’all have been through enough! You can’t go anywhere without people harassing you, the carwash could brick your truck, the accelerator pedal is faulty, etc. Now on top of all that, Raccoons are attracted to the Tesla Cybertruck.

It’s an unspoken fact that raccoons are the undisputed connoisseurs of all things luxurious and fine. These furry sophisticates don’t just rummage... they curate. And when they lay their glittering eyes on a Cybertruck, their impeccable instincts scream, “This is the vault of opulence!” After all, anyone bold enough to drive a Cybertruck clearly possesses a refined palate for the creme de la creme of life’s offerings. Naturally, our little tastemakers rightfully assume that within it lies nothing less than the ultimate jackpot. Cybertruck owners should be honored to have been chosen by these discerning critters!

Maybe C/Truck owners can invest in a window or bumper sticker that states ''No tools or sandwiches are left in this vehicle overnight'' and the hungry visitors will pass right on by

My truck friend told me. You can't call that a truck. That's an insult to trucks

My other truck friend told me. He remember when Ridgeline was released...People said "Could you make it any uglier?"... and Tesla accepted the challenge

I think it is much simpler than that — the raccoons are mistaking the Cybertruck for a dumpster.

Then park one of them sumbishes up in the mountains and set a video recorder up. Bears should maul it.
We had slide locks...just pissed em off and they'd flip it on a side

Because so many raccoons who live in the woods actually see a dumpster.

Cybertrucks seem to be city vehicles for urban cowboys. Lots of dumpsters in cities, and lots of raccoons getting into trash. We had racoons in Washington, DC when I was a kid and with few predators and plenty of trash their numbers have grown. Deer as well.

Right, the joke is the city raccoons see dumpsters and the country raccoons don't...
