strangely enough it’s science that has done it. car bodies used to be designed by industrial designers. now the are all designed on the same software by people with the same automotive exterior design degrees. they are infinitely more aerodynamic and efficient. they have lost the soul though.
Oh I agree. The new cars are much more efficient and less harmful to the environment. That you cannot tell a Chevy from a Ford from a Mazda from a Tesla takes much of the joy from an automobile. Also - How will we manage all those batteries when the time comes?
they are just different dangers than ICE vehicles. both are pretty toxic. most junkyards can be found by the overwhelming stench of motor oil and stale gas. enforcing a circular economy where the manufacturers have to take back the cars would help, but that woke so…
Cars have to meet the same exacting emissions and safety standards. That means that a degree of optimization is inevitable, no?
I don't feel romantic thoughts about car designs or engine sounds. I feel like these are nasty polluting relics that have taken over any sense of society we had.
This is hilarious because a few years ago, I noticed people were removing the emblems and references to car manufacturers off their cars. I guess all them emblems can have new homes on teslas. 🤣😂🤣 Funny place this world is.
You can put lipstick on a turd, but it still is a nazi. Yes, I know that is a weird statement, but when in Rome (while it is burning) do as the Romans...lol
I've always said it, not every swasticar owner is a MAGAtard, don't forget it's an ev. the target audience for those vehicles are environmentalists, which is non Republicans at this time. don't vandalize people's cars yall, hit the dealerships instead
Agree with your point as someone who owns two that I bought because of climate change. I'm working towards getting rid of them but I know people who just can't afford to do the same.
You know, though. The more I see 'em, the more I'm curious about the Rivian. They look good, and as far as I know that company isn't owned by wannabe Nazi swine.
Rivian pre sold their supply for the next year. They are not accepting the order now. I wanted to order the new model. Meanwhile, I keep receiving emails from Elmo’s company to lease or purchase model 3. On some days, as many as 4 emails to me. Today they announced 0% financing for 72 months.
I can't tell if that's a joke or not, because if anyone was dumb enough to believe people would actually think that's a Toyota, it *would* be a Cybertruck owner.
Please leave people who bought Teslas before Elon Musk became such a known evil alone. They cannot sell their Teslas because they have lost 50 to 75% of their value. They were trying to do the right thing and help stop climate change. They owe more than it's worth and will not be able afford a car.
That's like saying every person who buys an #electricvehicle is doing it to greenwash their life. That doesn't even make sense. I have two electric vehicles and a fully electrified house powered by solar. Many tesla the owners also have solar and batteries. You're barking up the wrong tree.
In that second bucket myself. I'm torn as even though I'm in a very purple area it is a bit embarrassing to drive one these days but on the other hand wouldn't that money be better spent on helping those impacted by MAGA or supporting those who are fighting back?
I'm in rural MN so I don't want to put any kind of obvious "Elon sux" sticker on it to give any random MAGA crazy an excuse. So a little light comedy is just better strategy. :)
Yugo badges look to be hard to come by after a brief search!
Yeah this is true. I don’t know who, but some PR person must have reigned him in. Maybe the President of Space-X. That changed when he bought twitter, and is only becoming broadly apparent to normies now.
Sheryl Crowe had the best most productive solution I've seen
She sold her tesla to an E Fan Boy
Then donated the $ to @npr.org
She made a great contribution And
Lost a death trap in the bargain
I'd say that's a win win
If the fan boy gets harassed (not hurt) for driving it
Even better
m'yeah...with the pricetag of those cars, I think they should have read a book or two about the environment first ;) I have absolutely no pity for them (and my fater just bought his second one, so f'n shameful)
i would be hard pressed to afford any new car. i've also seen reports suggesting that the mining and refining of the raw battery material for these cars is worse than gas guzzlers for the planet. At least people are trying... Yes - we need to do much more than is currently happening.
Let's put it this way, public transit, even donc via diesel buses, it's far better than any electric car. And 10 such busses (for level of service) is far better than getting a single electric bus. Also, TRAINS!
I haven’t verified personally, but was told Tesla offered really attractive and “cheaper” lease terms to get more of its vehicles on the road. So it’s possible people who couldn’t afford them otherwise are now stuck in the leases.
I saw my first real life "I bought this before Musk went crazy" bumper sticker on a Tesla today. I tried to make eye contact to give him a thumbs up but he wasn't making any eye contact. The shame is real.
This is quite hilarious - good for people to get inventive -
I hope they didn't steal those car badges from other vehicles - to hide their Tesla -
We don't want to be seen as lawless now -
I understood the surge in Teslas before Elon went full batshit crazy and when there weren't so many alternatives, but now? You'd have to have a screw loose to buy one of those shittily-built Swastikars.
Be careful with that. I flipped one off because he didn't look like he was going to stop. I was just turning into a big store lot. The MAGAT followed. Then, started stalking me through several rows.
I believe that a car should be badges the brand and model it was born as. I do not support allowing Tesla owners to push thier brand identity beliefs on me
I went to high school with Tom Mueller. I was known as the model rocketry guy. I remember Tom coming up to me and telling me he wanted to make real rockets, not the cardboard kind with premade propellant engines. I brushed him off. Little did I know.
But unlike Toyota known for reliability, Tesla's quality is shit. The only thing that might be worthwhile is their use of Gigapress (the chassis cranking out machine) in Tesla factories.
I heard it was for a year or two. I think it's Fararri or Lamborghini, you are not allowed to sell them, you have to take it back to a dealership, they have it in all of their contracts.
I understand them wanting to hide the fact that they were duped into buying a Swasticar. And it’s hilarious that they think everybody else is stupid, too. Putting lipstick on a pig seldom works.
Tesla drivers must be really stupid if they think that folks will be fooled. If you are smart enough to recognize a Tesla you are smart enough to know it’s not a Honda Toyota etc.

Thanks for this!
Wonder what the other car companies are thinking about this?
Better you just truck them to Elno's shitty mobile home in Texas and drop them off there
But I guess this works too.

Hard: swap cars and incur a financial penalty right before a major recession just to prove a point and still not actually fight fascism.
Perfection: a Yugo badge on said Model 3.
Yugo badge is a good idea though.🤔

Hiding their car manufacturer is insane.
Pretty funny though!

vs
Getting rid of property because you believe the owner is a Nazi and you don’t want to support/be associated are two different things…..
JS 👀😒

Nope, I think these people are stuck with their t*e*s*l*a*s.
Stupid spell check! 😅
