Croatians throwing tourists’ cars into the sea because they’ve had “wrong” car plates during a soccer game. How far do you think we can go? Beating someone for driving it? Bet you all think association games are fun until it’s “everyone who has both legs”.
I wonder if there has been a uptick in auto body work gigs, transitioning Teslas to look more like some other vehicles that are more appropriate for their owner's identities?
Saw a cyber truck in my poor little podunk red state. I gave it a thumbs down as it passed me. Now if someone could just spray paint it and bust out the windows...
Then by the mid 2s, people were driving much nicer Chryslers, Oldsmobiles and Cadillacs as Elon ford keeps on churning out the same model t he built in 1905 wondering why nobody wants them now
At least Ford MC widely imported important machine tool measurement devices and true repeatability in machining, I suspect the Giga Press is not going to be the boon that cheap gauge blocks were.
That's really the key difference.
Ford built himself up from the bottom. Leon just used his daddy's emerald mine money to get his mug out there.
We can only pray he doesn't try to set up a rubber plantation in the Amazon
Sort of a proper result of capitalism though, right?
Where nothing is built anymore, it’s just wealth upon wealth until some heads roll or the city gets burnt to the ground or whatever, ya read history, go to the jungle study chimpanzees anything you need to do to know it will not end well for us.
"How American Icon Henry Ford Fostered Anti‑Semitism. The man known for changing the auto industry also used his immense power and influence to quash unions, control immigrant workers and vilify Jewish people." Yes, an American Hitler. But too few know his influence. https://www.history.com/news/henry-ford-antisemitism-worker-treatment
Henry Ford was always a hateful racist. The issue is not buying a car before Ford went crazy. It's buying before the BUYER knew the inventor was a nasty POS. He was a small time dictator. When Hitler arose, Ford was by his side, in many ways.
Was there ever an era of backlash against Henry Ford? You'd think by WWII his association with the Nazis would have done it but I've never heard of that happening
Back then, the news didn't report unflattering stuff, even if they knew about it. No one but the press knew how crippled FDR was. Or that JFK's girlfriend was also the mistress of a Mob Boss.
As my Dad, who lived it explained, "If Americans knew he was totally wheelchair bound, it would have been seen as a weakness & he'd never have been elected President. We all thought he could walk but needed crutches. They hid the wheelchair best they could".
I’ve heard it was six of one, half a dozen of the other. There were certainly people who would think this, as there are even now. Other people at the time though, when due to wars and polio people in wheelchairs and leg braves were a lot more common, admired him for the way he dealt with it.
They like that he didn’t make a big deal about it. The American version of “stiff upper lip”, just getting on with things, was much more of a factor then.
My grandmother refused to buy Ford and told my mom and aunts and uncles to never buy
Ford's she lived from the 1920s to the early 1990s I think she would be rolling in her grave knowing that one of my cousins her grandson owns a telsa
And that’s the most ridiculous aspect of “trying” anyone in a court of law or congress. It doesn’t matter what’s in their heart. Actions should be accountable regardless.
the same guy watching Henry Ford accept the Grand Cross of the German Eagle in 1938: "These overreacting socialists will just call anyone a Nazi nowadays, huh?"
At least they had the excuse of it being the only decent car most people could actually afford for quite a few years. IDK if that's ever been true of Tesla and electric cars, and even if it was in the very early days, it wasn't for very long.
with lazy ass styling, every single new model "just the same thing except bigger", probably in order to share parts because Elon thinks it cheaper that way. Except for the cybertruck, which was something Elon thought would be cool.
Yeah, but the difference is that Model Ts didn't come with an ongoing subscription in order to use all the features of the vehicle. People who drive Teslas fund Elon's Naziism
The first 8 years of subscriptions are included in the price of the car. After that, you'll need to pay for the basic subscription features. And like I said, to use >all< of the features, you have to subscribe immediately
Maybe the 8 years are included now, but that wasn’t true a couple of years ago. At least, not in Canada. You implied that all Tesla owners continue to pay the Tesla company money. And that’s just not true.
No, I said they pre-paid for their connectivity to Tesla's servers, which is ongoing dependence and support of Tesla as a company. I don't think you know just how tethered Tesla cars are to Tesla the company. That connectivity isn't a gift
Umm. Perhaps you should read your post again. It says 8 years of subscriptions right after your post about the full feature set. I was responding to your posts. Now, if you meant something different, I might have a different response.
What subscription? The only one I know of is the music that just stopped and isn't necessary to use the car. You can just link to Spotify or another service or use Bluetooth.
New Teslas make you pay for 8 years of a basic subscription upfront which is buried in the price, basically to hide the fact that there is one while they get people used to the idea of subscribing to their own car
Ah. Ours is 5yo so don't know if it applies but hopefully we can afford to get rid of it in a few years so it wouldn't matter. What is the subscription for? My husband's Ford he had to pay extra if he wanted to update his GPS so he never did it.
By the '30s, Alfred Sloan at GM was just as crazy -- but he hid it by funding propaganda groups like the American Liberty League ("America first" was a slogan of theirs) and the more overtly anti-semitic Sentinels of the Republic, and not distributing their propaganda through dealerships.

Meanwhile, I'm not laughing.
And somehow, Hunter Biden’s.
He merged his own, nonfunctional payments company with it and took it over until the board threw him out
Volkswagen...used Jewish slaves
Tesla...owned by Musk

Yeah, I see the similarity.
- Ford
- VW
- Tesla
And perhaps a few I have missed. (Probably some Italian)

Except for the fact that Ford actually did design and build the first Model T, and Musk just bought Tesla.
