Some people love the Tesla Cybertruck, and plenty of others seem to hate it. It’s safe to say that the people who post to the TikTok account @Cybertruck_Hunters are firmly in the latter camp. These TikTokers drive around at night looking for examples of the hulking EV; when they spot one, they pull behind it and project anti-Elon Musk and anti-Cybertruck messages onto the tailgate, with the Tesla’s occupants presumably none the wiser.
The Cybertruck Hunters account first appeared on TikTok only about a week ago. Since then, they’ve uploaded about a dozen videos showing their work. This is no low-budget operation, either: One of the vehicles they hunt in is a black Lamborghini Aventador, which gives off Caped Crusader vibes — but instead of a Batman mask, the person working the projector wears a Jack Skellington disguise.
It turns out the stainless-steel tailgate on the Cybertruck works as an excellent projector screen. The imagery projected on the back of the truck is clear and crisp; if you didn’t know better, you might think it was the truck itself showcasing it — that is, if there were a reason why a Cybertruck owner would advertise that it was the most recalled truck of 2024.
As you would expect, the videos have drawn quite a few reactions and comments. The top video has been viewed more than 3 million times as of this story’s publication, and has about 4600 comments at the time of writing. The overwhelming majority of those comments are in support of what the Cybertruck Hunters are doing — and many are begging for more videos.
Road & Track reached out to the Cybertruck Hunters TikTok account for comment, but we haven’t received a reply as of this story’s Thursday afternoon publication. We’ll update this story if they respond; until then, we’ll be waiting to see if they drop more videos.
