“I have a black Cybertruck and in Los Angeles it’s like you’re the enemy,” Rollins said. “We have a Model 3 or Y, whatever. We drive around in that thing and nobody cares. Elon (Musk) went completely crazy and I bought it right before this. I really love electric cars, I love the brand.”
Lynch explained that they were “friends of the environment, not Elon” and that everywhere they went with Tesla there was someone unhappy.
“This guy, I was taking my daughter to school. He (Becky) was in the backseat with (their daughter) Roux. This guy, this little guy, we were walking his dog on the side of the road, we were just driving, I make this turn and without permission, he goes like this (throws up his middle finger) Real tough, real tough guy with his little dog. And I said, ‘Oh my God’. And he didn’t see it. I said, ‘Tell me to keep driving, tell me to keep driving.’ ‘Just drive.’ “What happened? What’s going on?” We started going back and I said, ‘No.’

“I hit the brakes and rewinded everything, went up and found this guy, parked the car and got out and ran up to this guy and said, ‘You don’t know who these people are. You don’t know what people are going through. I’m just trying to get my fucking daughter to school.’ ‘You don’t know anything about people,’ I said. Then I started to approach him. I say, ‘I don’t agree with the politics,’ blah blah blah. And he tried to apologize.”
Lynch said the person told them it was the car, not the people inside the car.
