New Report: Anti-Cybertruck incidents rose 340% in 2025. Read the data →

Our Story

In November 2023, when the first Cybertrucks rolled off the production line and onto American roads, something unexpected happened. Instead of celebrating a bold new era in automotive design, the public responded with unprecedented hostility.

Owners were mocked in parking lots. Videos of strangers laughing at Cybertrucks went viral. Online forums became breeding grounds for coordinated harassment campaigns. The message was clear: if you drove a Cybertruck, you were a target.

Three organizations—the Cybertruck Owners Alliance, the Future Vehicles Foundation, and the Institute for Automotive Equity—came together to form the Stop Cyber Hate coalition. What started as a simple online reporting form has grown into a nationwide movement with millions of supporters.

Today, we operate the nation's largest reporting center for anti-Cybertruck hate, conduct groundbreaking research, and advocate for policies that protect all vehicle owners from discrimination.

“The Cybertruck represents everything that makes innovation possible: bold thinking, refusal to compromise, and the courage to be different. The hatred directed at its owners says far more about society's biases than about the vehicle itself.”
— Dr. Angela Morrison, Founding Director
“What started with three people and a website has helped galvanize a nationwide movement—bringing together millions to advocate for the respect that every vehicle owner deserves.”
— James Chen, Executive Director
