Tesla marked 2025 with a series of viral moments from its owners, extending beyond the Robotaxi launch to showcase community creativity and challenges. These stories, ranging from DIY innovations to social media debates, underscored the brand's cultural impact. Highlights included a custom CyberRoadster and unexpected vehicle comparisons.
Tesla's 2025 was packed with headline-generating antics from its owners, as detailed in a Supercar Blondie roundup. The year kicked off with a Colorado Cybertruck owner sharing his enthusiasm on the Cybertruck Owners Club. "My wife described it like going from a typewriter to a laptop," he said, after paying $80,000 for the vehicle, which he deemed a fair price for its advancements. However, he expressed one regret: he would not opt for Full Self-Driving (FSD) again.
In contrast, a California Cybertruck owner faced online backlash after attempting to off-road while towing. Seeking help on social media, he received unsympathetic responses, including "Just get a [Ford] F-150" and "This is further proof truck guys didn’t design [the Cybertruck]."
Another standout was a drag race organized by YouTuber MADMAXC7, pitting a Cybertruck against a RAM TRX, both painted Goblin green. The event highlighted the performance of modern pickup trucks.
YouTuber Simon Minter chose his Tesla over his Porsche, explaining he cared too much about the Porsche to risk damaging it, preferring the Tesla for everyday use.
Finally, Los Angeles-based YouTuber David Andreyev, known as Cyber Hooligan, built a DIY Tesla CyberRoadster using a Model 3 chassis and Cybertruck components. Though legal, driving it causes chaos in the city.
These moments reflect Tesla's ongoing ability to inspire both innovation and debate among its community.
