42-year-old Vanessa Voss purchased a Cybertruck last year to help advertise her business. Now, she's receiving threats and is worried about the safety of her staff. The unique design of the Cybertruck was intended to draw attention and attract customers, but it has also led to unforeseen challenges.
After receiving alarming threats, Voss took action to ensure the safety of her employees.
