Wow you are a terrible judge of what you’re looking at then. I started recording the moment those words were said to me. Which is exactly what correlates with the CT’s footage, of me from the moment I left my vehicle to walk to the restaurant. The driver got back out of his vehicle after those three seconds as you were describing them, if I’m not mistaken. The dash cam footage allows me to save 30 seconds at a time to my phone, which is what I did to post that relevant pertinent timeframe of from the moment that I left my truck. You should just stop now, acting like I’m being insincere. You are the insincere person here. And upon reviewing the subsequent dashcam footage behind the 30 second clip it let me save to my phone at one time through the Tesla app, he did NOT step back out of his car. My footage recording him, was that immediate, that it captured him while he was still out of his car, he had just gotten up and out of his car, opened the door, and shouted at me “you white faggot I’m going to fuck you up.” I immediately took my phone out and started recording him. That’s what my two videos correlate and clearly show. As I said, CT capturing audio would have clearly heard him shouting that epithet at me. It’s literally what prompted me to take my phone out and begin recording him.
You typed this as I edited my comment, noting that the iPhone video wasn’t initially visible.

Now you’ve moved on to insulting me (and others who didn’t blindly support you), so I’m going to removing myself from this conversation, as I’m not interested in getting banned for arguing about non-CT related topics that clearly don’t belong here.

Again, good luck to you.

I keep pepper spray in my vehicle.
I would have returned to the truck. Photographed via video his plates and his vehicle. Taken the pepper spray with me and made sure to photograph the perp. People like that often melt away if they are on camera. Phone in one hand pepper spray in the other. Be sure and buy the spray police use it shoots out in a strong stream about 50 ft.
Then I would go about my business. After dinner inspect vehicle and look over sentry video at my convenience. If he continued during the my rolling of video I might post it on X for the community to ID the trouble maker.
Sounds like a super high tech way to watch your truck get damaged in real time (or after the fact at your convenience) and then have to handle repairing.

You can leave. I didn’t insult you. I said you’re a terrible judge to say my footage doesn’t correlate with what happened. Amazing false equivalency straw man attacks against me. Maybe just pay attention instead of assuming falsity in a story that is demonstrably true.

So where is this “immediate documentation” you are referring to? The video you posted just shows (you??) walking past the back of the vehicle and down the sidewalk. Then the driver in the white Honda gets out for ~3 seconds and gets back in. It’s pretty dark, but they don’t seem to gesture, yell, or act violently or aggressively?

To my eyes, this video doesn’t correlate to nor support your allegations.

You refer to “iPhone video”, but I don’t see that?

EDIT-I see the phone video now. It didn’t initially show up, only the CT video. I don’t hear him calling you anything in your video, just you stating that, then him getting in his vehicle, and you walking around videoing. He got in his vehicle and rolled his window up, then started videoing you. He seems intimidated, not aggressive or violent.

I agree with the guy above, take this to Reddit or elsewhere , this doesn’t seem to be related to Cybertruck at all, and not a fit for this forum.

Good luck to you.
Yes. He did start filming me after I calmly confronted him as to why he was calling me a white fagot. As seen in the video. Amazing lack of attention span to say he had any reason to be intimidated. He called me a racial slur, I calmly began documenting it immediately. Victim Blame much? You’re laughably operating from the premise that I should have been randomly recording this guy BEFORE/AS he was calling me these names which took him all of 3 seconds? I was literally camera in hand recording him within split seconds of him saying those things. That’s what you see in my calmly approaching him asking him why he shouted epithets at me. You’re remarkable.

I don’t tolerate it for myself, for the same reason that I don’t tolerate it when it happens to other people, such as minorities. Hate speech is wrong. It’s not something society should become normalized or numb to.
agreed

It was a man with what sounded like a Haitian kind of accent driving a white Honda Pilot with Virginia plates. People do not have freedom to spout off hate speech and threaten bodily harm to random passersby. And if you think otherwise, please get out of this country.
No such thing as hate speech, all speech is protected under the first amendment, that person can go off all they want and be a complete douchebag, and its fine under the law. What he can't do is threaten you. That can be prosecuted and is not ok. So just be aware, someone being a shithead is fine as far as the law is concerned, until they threaten you.

Directing violent threatening speech at a protected class on the basis of that protected class is an enhanced crime.

I stopped caring after your inane "toxic masculinity " comment 🙄
People promoting masculine aggression are funny. It’s not funny if someone says violently hateful threatening things to people we care about. Just to people we perceive as strangers on the internet. K got it.

What part is super high tech? The pepper spray or the cel phone?
The point is to deescalate the situation and give the potential attacker reason to back off. Prepared self defense.

Let me expound on what I said.. Him calling you a white faggot isn't hate speech. "Hate speech" itself is nonsense. If you believe in the constitution, then speech is free. You're free to be a verbal asshole all you want. Until you threaten someone. If you actually believe there is such a thing as hate speech, then you don't truly understand the first amendment. And you wouldn't be alone.

I don’t like higher insurance premiums because of assholes. I prefer to disincentivize public displays of violent hate and aggression. The world is going Looney Tunes and I have proof.

It’s literally an enhanced penalty. Moves the threat from a class B to a class A misdemeanor. Because of the hate speech element. But you can believe what you want about that.

Could you take them in a fight? That would determine the response?
