Scratching a stranger’s car is never okay.
Can’t say I agree. For example, if someone hits you with their car? It’s ok to scratch it.
But what if it ain’t a car but a Cybertruck?
It is strange and striking that climate change activists have not committed any acts of terrorism. After all, terrorism is for the individual by far the modern world’s most effective form of political action, and climate change is an issue about which people feel just as strongly as about, say, animal rights. This is especially noticeable when you bear in mind the ease of things like blowing up petrol stations, or vandalising SUVs. In cities, SUVs are loathed by everyone except the people who drive them; and in a city the size of London, a few dozen people could in a short space of time make the ownership of these cars effectively impossible, just by running keys down the side of them, at a cost to the owner of several thousand pounds a time. Say fifty people vandalising four cars each every night for a month: six thousand trashed SUVs in a month and the Chelsea tractors would soon be disappearing from our streets. So why don’t these things happen?
Because the law drops the hammer on them BIG time.
Hell, activists use to spike old wood trees marked for clear cutting back in the day. This would cause the saw blades foresters would use to explode in their face, in fact George Alexander, a millworker, was severely injured when a saw blade shattered after contact with a tree spike and cut his jaw in half.
His name is Jason Alexander, he only played a character named George.
George Alexander would then form a band, drop two hits, then write for other artists away from the limelight.
Oh wait, that’s Gregg.
I think it says more about the personalities on each side. ICE loving climate deniers are aggressive by nature.
It is if they blatantly block sidewalks like the entitled assholes that they are.
People being assholes over it is dumb, but I can’t say I would want one. I saw one recently at my local grocery store and I couldn’t stop thinking how poorly built it looked. It just seemed like the fit and finish of the body panels was kinda bad. I got an overall feeling like it was something put together by a couple of teenagers in metal shop.
There’s one down the street from me. It’s a damn eyesore.
Complain to the HOA… no junkers on the property or street
People can be shitty, but I still find it amusing that it’s so ugly and stupid it provokes people into a rage.
I mean is it really a truck?
There needs to be a way to validate if something is a truck.
Like, if you can’t put a 2x4 in it, is it a truck? Is an el camino a truck?
IF a cybertruck is a truck, is a Pontiac Aztek a truck?
Per the legal US definition, almost every SUV is a “light truck”, including my 1999 Subaru Forester…
iirc, that is bc your Forester is an SUV that uses a truck chassis underneath, whereas the otherwise extremely similar Crosstrek uses the Impreza chassis so is more of a high “car”. But that could change over the years and I’m not really a car person so don’t quote me or anything!:-P
Hey a 1961 Ford was my first vehicle. I did a lot of truck things with that. It was even one of one built of the crappy falcon body, which was one of Ford’s first unibodies. Boy did that thing flex.
I even parked next to 2005ish Ford F150, with that dumb extra short bed. My 50 year old caruck has a bigger bed on it.
There needs to be a way to validate if something is a truck.
Isn’t there already legal definitions such as gross vehicle weight? I know there have been some edge cases where people argue cars as trucks to get special truck access for commercial use. Chevy HHR comes to mind with some contractors.
Honestly if the POS that Tesla sells here counts as a truck, my bicycle does…
The El Camino is a mullet.
I heard the cyber truck called the “Incel Camino” and now I can’t think of it any other way.
I mean, the el Camino caught a lot of flak when I was young. I remember my “surfer/ stoner/ slacker/ loser” gen x cousin who was a pool guy used his as a work vehicle and I guarantee that guy was SMASHING with that ride. I’m not saying a cyber truck truck is on that level and but some things take time to catch on.
No way!
Is there any vehicle in the world that screams rich asshole more than the cyber truck? There are more expensive vehicles for sure, but my first thought if I saw a Pagani wouldn’t be to flip it off.
At least with other expensive cars you can admire the craftsmanship, elegant appearance, and significant history behind the brand or specific model of car. For the money, you get none of those things with a cyber truck.
I guess any vehicle you can’t afford can scream rich asshole if you’re bitter enough
Shit boomer take
any vehicle you can’t afford
Definitely a difference between living beyond your means and simply pissing the money away.
Admittedly, this vehicle was made by a guy who wrecked his McLauren inside a year. When you’re a billionaire, I guess you just see everything as disposable.
Yeah it sucks to be hated, especially for reasons as stupid as which electric truck you bought. It’s just sad how much hate there is these days.
My boss just got this truck. Aside from it being severely over priced it’s actually very well built and super practical and usable for light and medium light duty. Even some short distance towing.
Although for most people that can afford this thing I doubt there will be any kind of duty being performed by this truck at all.
“I don’t like attention.”
– Guy that gave multiple interviews about all the attention he is getting.
He doesn’t like negative attention and is too dumb to realise that was the only thing that would happen by buying such an obvious “I’m dumb and a dickhead” statement piece.
It’s all marketing for his pot shop.
How bad at you at selling weed are you that you need to do this?
This isn’t what gets me into a dispensary a second time.
Feeling like I can ask a dumbass question, get a coherent answer, and they will have product in stock at the promised price; gets me in the second and subsequent times.
Hypothetically, of course, but no different from the local booze warehouse, really. My loyalty is to the place where I asked someone “I see you’re out of x, what’s similar?” And they a) tapped out because it wasn’t their area of expertise and b) connected me with the person who could provide options and talk about that particular niche ad infinitum.
Don’t be flashy if you run a dispensary, just know your stuff and educate your staff.
be on weedmaps (or whatever your state uses online), have your stock up to date, and most importantly, don’t just sell by the 1/8.
Not only did he get an unpopular truck, but he still uses Reddit. This guy is 0-2. What’s next?
He uses Twitter. Probably watches Televised News
Anyone that supports muskrat is an automatic pos in my book. He’s an evil degenerate.
I’ve never liked that nickname, just because muskrats are pretty cool and don’t deserve to be brought down to that shithead’s level.
You’re right it’s a disservice to the glorious beings that are muskrats. How about we just call him… sir shitstain nazi mckfuckface?
This is getting out of hand. Like it went from a few jokes to straight up bullying and being toxic to people who didn’t do anything
Seriously, risking charges just to lash out at a billionaire by attacking someone using their product is absolutely crazy. It’s unhinged even without the risk of charges, especially of all the things to attack an electric vehicle - do people not remember how we’d dog on the manchildren that did similar things to prius?
Last trump election there was huge push online to make the right as uncivil as possible. It seems like this round its the left because talking to a lot of these people are reminding me of what it was like speaking to the right pre election.
They’re intentionally supporting Elon, so yeah they are
I’m in the minority of people who really like the design, I just wouldn’t ever consider buying anything from Tesla.
he really should not have bought Twitter that is what I think pissed people off the most
Think he didn’t really have much of a choice given his public comments, and the fact that to lay folks those comments were credible because he has the resources to follow through.
If I posted “BRB, buying Twitter and taking it private,” it would be a joke. But coming from someone who already has a crazy amount of money, positions in companies, etc., and who knows or should know the ins and outs of securities law…
That was an ill fated statement that he should never have made and probably expected to be taken as a joke. Don’t think he expected the Twitter board to take the chance to cash out and call it good, either.
For someone with that level of impaired judgement to be running companies…. Jeez, how do I pull that off? I can rant publicly, I just don’t know the magic incantations that being in billions.
Hope that MFer gets meme stocked, shorted, and pump and dumped. As we’ve seen again and again, it doesn’t take all that much to do those things.
Am abs against the meme stock crowd, they are straight up bad actors, but might be able to do some good here.
Investing in a license plate from Maine that just says “Event” and driving around at low speeds while smoothly sliding on and taking off my sunglasses was also probably not helpful.
