yeah sums up the vibes on this post. of course fascists are gonna use rhetoric like this to make themselves look good.
what we need is more destroyed teslas and punched nazis.
the difference being private property and public property. only one of those is considered sacred
How many police officers got killed when those cybertrucks got spraypainted?
ALL OF THEM AND THE PERPETRATORS WILL BE HUNTED
no, the footage will not be released, you’ll just have to trust the department.
0s of them
Such a massive number that you could add several zeros to it and not notice the difference.
Well then, shouldn’t be long before we’re all terrorists, seeing as this won’t be the end of it.
Just a lil’ FYI: you can use a marker/pen to draw on slices of cheese before you need to toss them “somewhere” and start another piece.
Cheese? only use American and only in extremely hot areas.
The real joy is using slices of bologna.
Or, if you want to go hard, get some sponges and soak them in acetone. But that’s not for Cybertrucks. They need lemon juice and salt. Just mix up a batch and fill a squirt gun.
I mean…ok.
that means we can storm the capital and it’s ok, right?
is this from the Bee Movie reboot?
No. Its just the original design of Barry before the internet complained.

Fun fact: a replacement windshield for a tesla is on average 1,200 - 2,000 dollars because of their dumb as fuck design
Oh so all that “first principles” design their CEO likes to talk about really just means “reinvent the wheel and sell the prototypes to customers at prototype prices?”
Huh, who would have thunk it?
You’re not technically wrong since they were just early to the party with driver assistance & Lane departure warning/avoidance systems, but since the USA made those types of systems mandatory for all cars in 2023, most vehicles 2023+ will now have a similar cost.
I don’t get it, what does that have to do with the windshield design?
The cameras that track the lines on the road and other cars are mounted to the windshield. these windshields are more expensive because the camera brackets have to be precisely aligned and the glass (in that area) must be completely free of optical distortions. Both of those things raise the price of the windshield, and increase design complexity
To mount the cameras on the windshield is a design decision, though
Yes, a design decision initiated by Tesla and a trend the entire industry followed outside of a few autonomous taxis that have the lidar units on the roof.
However, the alternative requires a separate lens cleaning system as the former just reuses the windshield wiper. So it does reduce the complexity somewhat.
Or maybe I’m missing your point entirely?
Would a small wiper to handle the lens cleaning not be more cost effective than increasing the complexity of the windshield to the point of significant cost increase?
You would still need the windscreen to be near perfect where the cameras are, which is the big cost.
Another option would be a separate piece of glass to cover the cameras.
I’m not on the production/manufacturing side so I could only speculate on the costs. The entire industry’s use of the windshield mounted cameras would suggest the costs are lower. Even at the ultra high end like Bently, where there’s plenty of profit margin to experiment with, they’re still using the windshield mounted cameras.
The other factor to consider would be that the driver can very easily know when the windshield wipers aren’t working (an therefore ignore or deactivate suggested lane departure corrections), but a tiny wiper mounted above the roof would be impossible to see while driving.
for context the windshield of a big ass semi truck costs between $65-225 or just 18% at worst or 3% at best
and they’re pretty large too
Cyberwindshield: $1200
Cyberwindshield wiper: 3 months backorder
Making a Nazi supporter cry: priceless
I heard the horse cock of a windshield wiper is almost irreplaceable because it’s 4 feet long and in limited supply.
It’s also made significantly more expensive by the fact that it IS an actual cock from a horse.
Purebred only, on Musk’s insistence.
Hand picked by the man himself I hear
Inspired by the Bible.
For the cybertruck? The design of the others are mostly reasonable, I would assume every replacement part for the cybertruck is much more expensive since it’s so fucking ridiculous. I’ve never had to replace a windshield fortunately so I don’t know how much they normally cost.
‘mostly reasonable’ they integrate into the roof glass and their shape makes them 10x the price of a new windshield
I can get a replacement for a 2010 Ford for about 200$
You might have misread, nothing about the cybertruck is reasonable, the other models are mostly reasonable. $200? Good to know.
I didn’t misread, I was referring to other tesla models in mass production
Ah ok, maybe I’m misreading then. Are you saying the roof glass for the other models is very expensive? The windshield on the other models seems pretty generic.
Yes, the design in the model X, Y, and S are all unnecessarily fancy and expensive, coupled with slow production and supply chains.
The cyber truck is just taking those problems and exacerbating them
Remember, Trump doesn’t say things that are true - or even things he thinks are true - he only says things that he thinks will benefit him to say. So yes, it benefits him to say Jan 6 wasn’t domestic terrorism, and that vandalism of his boss’ cars is domestic terrorism.
Now try living here. No wonder half of us are so cynical
They’re clearly destabilizing the countries integrity by checks notes vandalizing cars! Property damage is obviously much worse than actual violence, so long as the property is expensive enough. /s
Terrorism only applies to brown or poor people.
If you’re rich you get a free pass to do anything including genocide.
It’s only rich people who can boycott Teslas (poor folk wouldn’t afford them in the first place) so it must be pardonable to boycott! Problem solved!
Why did you vote him in office?
About ⅓ of eligible voters voted for someone else.
About ⅓ of eligible voters voted for him.
About ⅓ of eligible voters didn’t vote at all- either because they didn’t want to, or were unable to.
He won by the slimmest margin in decades.
So WE didn’t vote him in. A majority of voters did (by the slimmest of margins). But a lot of that can be attributed to misinformation, foreign (Russian) influence, oligarchs playing the system, and so on. There was a massive influx of campaign cash for him in specific states (from people like Musk).
Of the ⅓ who voted for someone else, the majority of them voted for Harris, and are absolutely miserable with the outcome. The bulk of the eligible American voters you meet on Lemmy probably fall into that category. When you come to them and say “why did you vote him in office?” You’re not asking the right people.
I truly believe the reason is because even amongst democrats there are still a large group of people who are racists and/or sexists.
Democracy needs to be taken seriously ffs. To bad a lot of people take it all for granted.
That’s all true but it doesn’t change anything meaningful. All that matters is the end result of the election. People from other countries have every right to ask Americans wtf we were thinking.
Many of us didn’t. In fact, many people didn’t vote for anybody, and that was a major part of the problem. These people, usually single issue voters, thought they had the moral high ground by not voting between bad and worst.
Trump received the same number of votes as last election, but Harris received significantly less than Biden did last election. Harris wasn’t good enough for a lot of Democrats, and they thought not voting and letting Trump win was better than tossing their morals aside on a single issue.
I didn’t

It’s always the opposite with these weirdos.
