A man in California has found himself in serious trouble after a video showed him making Nazi salutes from his Tesla Cybertruck.

California man sparks outrage with Nazi salutes from Tesla Cybertruck window during drive
The video, which was shared on Reddit, quickly went viral. It shows Diaz sitting in the front seat of the Tesla with two passengers.
As he gestured with the Nazi salute, he yelled at people outside the vehicle.
The video captures a tense moment, including a homophobic slur being uttered by someone in the car. The pedestrians seemed to provoke Diaz, leading to his inappropriate response.
A crucial mistake was made by Diaz, as the side of his Tesla was marked with his company’s name, “Cyber Electric,” and a phone number.
This branding allowed social media users to identify him almost immediately.
Once his identity was revealed, people began to flood the internet with negative reviews about his electrical contracting business.

Public backlash and company reputation
As the video spread, many people expressed their anger towards Diaz’s actions.
Social media users criticized him for his behavior, emphasizing that such gestures are symbols of hate.
The backlash was so intense that reviews for Cyber Electric on platforms like Yelp and Google were temporarily restricted.
Yelp even added a warning to the company’s page about unusual activity due to the public outcry.
One user said: This guy does realize he’s Hispanic, right? Trump is probably actively looking for a way to deport all of them, even citizens. I don’t get it, I really don’t.
The second user wrote: Intoxicated and behind the steering wheel- jail time calling for that alone
The third user said: These illegals are not only destroying the country but also hurting people everywhere. It’s a daily occurrence in the plenty where I live. Trump’s work could not come finish enough!
The fourth user commented: The most unapologetic apology I’ve ever heard…he’s only sorry because he got caught….
Another user said: Does this idiot have the faintest idea what that represents? That German leader would have looked down on this guys people.
California man issues an apology
In response to the backlash, Diaz posted an apology on his company’s website and YouTube channel.
He expressed deep regret for his actions and said he was intoxicated at the time of the incident.
‘I am deeply sorry and I take full responsibility. We didn’t go to San Francisco to target anyone or cause trouble. We were there to watch a Giant’s game and this happened on the way out,’ he said.
Diaz claimed he did not intend to cause harm and said he was merely responding to provocation.
He stated, ‘The Nazi salute is a symbol of hate and I regret ever using it in any way. I do not support Nazism or any form of hatred.’
