Sic semper tyrannis is a Latin phrase meaning "thus always to tyrants". In contemporary parlance, it means tyrannical leaders will inevitably be overthrown. The phrase also suggests that bad but justified outcomes should, or eventually will, befall tyrants. state motto of the U.S. state of Virginia.
Tesla shares will tank, and then the class action suits will flood in. He neglected the company, and irreparably tarnished the brand with his insane political activities. Shareholders would have a solid case.
Narcissistic Personality Disorder and Oppositional Defiant Disorder (AKA "a$$hole syndrome) are both in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. So yes he has untreated mental illness, it's going to take more than ketamine to help that dude.
Tesla was early to the game with electric cars. Other, bigger companies are catching up. Tesla’s demise was inevitable even before Musk became a menace to society.
Not so. The big industries of today were outsiders who brought disruptive products to the marketplace. Tesla was on track to do that before the Elon implosion
So it sounds sort of like you’re saying Tesla could be like Apple. A specialty company with a loyal following. Perhaps that’s true. I hadn’t thought of it like that before.
This is amazing! My Tesla fan boy maga family are losing their shit. ‘It’s so unprofessional for Kia to do that from their company account’. But apparently it’s ok for #Elon to call people retards and parasites. I can’t stand the #MAGA mentality.
They have exactly zero self awareness. The cognitive dissonance blows my mind. ANYTHING their cult leaders do is ok. Anyone else *doing a similar, but not as vile* thing is bad/wrong. It’s insanity.
I find myself constantly making the mistake of trying to understand this thinking and it’s a fool’s errand. What I’m seeing cannot be explained beyond whatever psychology is behind cult mentality. It really is a cult. And it is so alarming that so many people I grew up w and love have been swept up.
Not mine. I wish but don’t want to figure out how I’d charge it. Sounds like it’d be a hassle. Do you buy a charger and have it added to your home? Or how does that work?
I am no expert, but you can use a standard electrical plug to charge overnight.
Many EV owners have a 240 outlet (like an elec dryer uses) installed in their garage to charge faster.
Norway has public chargers all over the place.
The only public place I’ve seen chargers is the Tesla charging stations at Starbucks and target. I won’t be buying either of their products. So I don’t plan on using those chargers and I definitely won’t buy a Tesla. Norway is just better. They’re way ahead of the curve as far as environmental
Trump obtained special dredging permits which instead of taking three years were accomplished in only a couple of months with support from Roger Stone and the lobbying firm Black, Manafort, Stone and Kelly.

Thing is, he's always been crazy. He just has a bigger megaphone now. He's always been an opportunist and a liar also. Now we have 14 more of him in the world.
Saw the same sticker on a Tesla which I assumed was intended to deter criticism or vandalism. As for the cyber trucks no one seems to be buying the naïve buyer narrative; hence, the “FUCK MUSK” vandalism as seen in a CA.
His excellent PR machine just got overwhelmed at some point (calling a rescuer a pedo) and people started paying attention.🤷♀️ For me it was the empty promise of restoring PR’s electric grid after Maria
For me, it was calling the rescuers pedos. That whole trapped students situation showed the world what a petty little shit Leon REALLY is. I think it made a lot of people stop and think "wait, wtf???"
Nice. I'm helping my ancient diesel live as long as she can, but after that, it's probably SK or European electric. Not Chinese, and gods no nothing American.
Personally, I would go Toyota hybrid first until the electric technology has fully matured. Toyota has decided to stick with hybrid while also developing electric. Given their reliability record, I trust they are doing things right.
Braking and transmission felt different in older hybrids. The added weight was also noticeable. But the newer models are a lot smoother and have more power than regular versions. Anyway, nothing beats shopping for a new car. It just doesn't happen often when driving a Honda or Toyota, haha.
When we were looking for our second car, after test driving Toyota we've decided to go with Renault. Great hybrid engine, handles much better (and is much quieter!), better build quality and from European company. Let's see how reliable it will be over time, but so far so good!
Great to know. Renault isn't available in North America, unfortunately. We used to have the small Renault 5 on the roads when I was a kid though! No idea how reliable it was... French manufacturer.
I hope it's a lot of years before I have to do that, and I also hope in that time the tech will mature some. The longer I can put this off, the better: every year you do not buy a new car is a year you do not buy a new car, after all!
Of course! I've never purchases a brand new car in my entire life! Never followed trends either. Always went for a reliable and fuel-efficient model that had been well-maintained by the owner and I've saved so much in car payments and insurance over the years that I was able to travel every year.
I've had four Prius' and they have all been exemplary as far as reliability. We have to drive two miles of crappy dirt roads to get to our house, and aside from having to replace tires more often, the Prius was the best vehicle I've ever driven.
Ever since the first Tesla Roadster, I've been fascinated by the EV's. And considering all the excellent electric cars on the market today, There are easily over a dozen non Tesla electric cars I would rather own. My current [sic] favorite is the BMW i4.
Everyone that bought a Tesla bought it regardless of knowing he is a South African Afrikaner. They knew he was a racist white supremacist. That should’ve prevented them from purchasing a car from him.
I hope that all Tesla owners will join me in turning out vehicles into mobile anti-Musk displays. At a minimum, put one of the many anti-Musk stickers on your window or bumper.
The moment you understand Elon was ALWAYS crazy, the better. Elon is just another trump, two megalomaniac lunatics pretending to be geniuses so they can steal people’s money. To me they are just commons criminals.
I'd love to trade in my older hybrid Kia for a newer one but now that cars will cost more, I'll have to drive this one into the ground before getting a new one.
Donald Trump does tariffs like white trash women discipline their kids. Screaming at the top of his lungs, Canada... I'm gonna count to 10 and and if you don't do what I want you're getting a tariff. Mexico... don't make me get off this golf course or you're getting a tariff.

I dont think he went crazy, I just think he is showing his "true colors". He has always been like this, its just now he is in the spotlight more than ever and with politics, it can show who a person truly is. Im pretty sure he has always supported the Nazis, especially after learning about his dad
I'm not driving a car but: well done! Try to get away from American products"physical and Digital and it worked pretty well so far. :D or if it's an American product, I'll check if it's open source, or how the company is and was acting till now. It also gives the chance to learn new things :)
Had to Google to see if somehow Musk was involved with Kia but now I realise it’s a slap in the face with a wet smelly fish to the Tesla brand and everything that is Musk! Very clever advertising capitalising on the current anti musk climate.
Yep, I had to look up to make sure they're not Chinese, but I'm all for European and SK things (love my phone too).
We aren't French so I haven't heard of anything being torched, but our sales of Tesla (which were huge) are collapsing. It ain't popular even here anymore.
Mexican electrics on a Chinese BYD? Not yet... they haven't built it yet. However if they can train chinese farmers to build them, and they are acknowledged years ahead of Tesla... then teaching Mexicans should be easy. Yer in luck... when you flee the US fascism to Mexico, they'll have jobs!
I am an EV girl. On my 2nd one now and will never buy anything by a Musk company.
Our internet sucks in northern Michigan, 40 years later, the forprofit corps “just don’t have the money”…and I refuse to purchase Starlink. Musk is human garbage with zero integrity, he gets nothing from me.
It's an Amber from Avtotor in Kaliningrad, Russia. But I forgot that all the Teslas will soon cost less than a pack of eggs. Because of the re-imports from Europe. By the midterms, Trump can give away Tesla's to everyone who votes for him. You can't eat them, but whatever.🤣
🤣 power paradigms are shifting we are witnessing the fall of a monolith, if things continue at this pace, we might need to learn Mandarin or Russian. What a shit show huh and we thought COVID lockdowns were bad.
As a democratic citizen, I now see myself as an endangered species. But I have experienced that history swings back and forth like a pendulum. You wouldn't have expected Obama either. Trump's physical existence has a natural end date. I hope that lessons will be learned.
I'd never heard of the guy until his cretinous meltdown over being shown up by an experienced caving rescuer in the rescue of the trapped football team in Thailand. Major red flags. He's even more unhinged now. He needs an intervention pronto.
1. He’s a spoilt kid his parents paid no attention to, never taught how to function to either lead or be part of normal society. I believe when he offered help (Thai rescue) & it was refused because he lacked a bigger understanding it turned him into what we see now because he’s finally being seen.
2. So the more attention he gets the worse he will be. But I don’t think he has too much of a future. History dictates men like him ALWAYS get their comeuppance. ALWAYS! He knows his life is under threat and someone he trusts will be his undoing.
During 45’s first term the elongated muskrat did not support the Budget Bashar. Doesn’t mean Nepoelon Boneapartheid wasn’t crazy, but was not yet as politically engaged with it.
At least it’s fair to whichever idiot(s) did this. The heartbreaking part to me is the millions of American kids who had no say in this & any voters who voted against it but will still suffer the consequences of other ppl’s abysmal choices.
My next and probably final car purchase will be a Kia EV. Not certain which one yet. It will replace my 2001 Santa Fe with 240K+ miles on it and still looks and runs great with no engine or transmission work done on it ever.
We are Kia people. We had a 15 year old Sportage that started having issues that were going to be expensive so we donated it to a veterans group who fixed the issues and gave it to a veteran. I loved that car. We recently bought a new used Sportage. Our Forte was 11 when we donated it. Go Kia!

I was not going to buy a Kia. But now I might 😉🤩
…so alarming had me looking for a snooze button
who got next?
“Go fuck yourself. No, seriously, go fuck yourself!”

Norway has public chargers all over the place.
Conscientious people went out and bought EVs to protect the environment, now they face having to use Tesla charging stations.

Elon Musk Cannot Be Trusted.

Kia just made the short list.
Right now I wouldn't touch American made on principle, sorry.
I am going to be test driving one hell of a lot of cars when mine starts to age out.
They're not VW, Mercedes or Volvo in terms of 'will live forever' reputation, but not bad either.
BTW my current main car is KIA, and my previous one was also KIA - cannot recommend them enough.
Lots of good options that are not Wankpanzer.
🙂
But great trolling!
Love the new design, late model sorrento's !
Tesla is no longer even a contemplation as an acquisition anymore.
I’d still buy another Kia long before even riding in a Tesla.

is this really true?
They are even more likely to catch fire now than they did before

I'd rather a Skoda or VW.

We elect them to be President.

Is it so hard to say "I bought this after Elon went fascist" or "did a Nazi salute" or "sex trafficked minors with Jeffrey Epstein"?
His issues are far deeper than a diagnosis.
