What are your thoughts on doing a Nazi salute when seeing a cybertruck? Is it okay because we are mocking them? Or is it just never okay to do a Nazi salute?
Definitely do not. Might be a show of support.
don’t do a nazi salute, you’ll just end up making it socially acceptable. Middle finger instead.
🖕🛞📐🛞
Everytime I see our local cyber truck I hope someone vandalizes it.
Most people who own these crappy cars can’t even really afford them. Now they are in big trouble because they can’t get rid of them. Lol.
What if everyone would transfer their PayPal credit to a regular bank account on the same day? Would that bring Paypal value down?
hard to estimate, but probably not. I think what makes such companies go down is when the investors fear their money might be lost. that is, when the company is not worth much compared to their invested money.
So only, when the user count is dropping, that would be the case for paypal.
That would be good for the EV conversion market. Since they use a lot of Tesla motors and battery packs.
If I were to drive one, I would never let such circumstances push me to sell.
If I had one I’d keep it, vandalise it myself and turn it into an anti-musk advertising vehicle. It’s a bad idea to waste the resources that went into making them.
But selling a used one to someone that wants an affordable EV will potentially turn someone from buying one brand new, and therefore keeping profits out of Little Musky’s pockets.
Sell a vandalised one then. At least you know it won’t be going to a maga.
I’d just park it in portland overnight and file an insurance claim the next morning.
When you want a job done right, don’t leave it to amateurs, go to stealmytesla.com.
satire? that shit is funny as hell.
No sympathy.
Fuck every Tesla owner. Unironically, they knew what they bought.
Downvotes coming from Telsa owners who have buyer’s remose for giving a Nazi money, i assume.
Only now the chickens are coming home to roost and they wanna get out, not before though. When Elons stock was up they were happy to have the car.
This is why we see vandalism as well on these
“The working class folk who can easily afford luxury cars, you’re just mad they got a Tesla and not a Lambo.”
If I had the money for a Tesla I’d be better off in general.
While it’s nice to protest outside of the Tesla dealership, people should be protesting outside of US embassies, and while they are at it, protest outside of the Chinese and Russian embassies too. Block them in.
Trump and musk couldn’t care less about protests outside embassies.
The Tesla protests are hurting musk.
People are doing. But embassies tend to be in capital cities but Tesla dealerships are everywhere.
Hell yeah, I’ve been wanting a model 3 for years. Glad politics will bring that dream to a reality 😀 lets go electric vehicles!!! One less gas guzzler on the road.
I know this the unpopular opinion at the moment, but what electric sedan is better than a model 3? The rest of the producers have all decided we want to drive crossovers or boxes and simply cannot figure out how to make a frunk.
The first few times sitting in or driving a tesla was cool and novel. But after you have used the fart simulator app a few times, and let your sister in law post a few pictures. It’s just a car that takes a lot of space in small parking spots.
It is low quality, breaks often, expensive to repair, barely fits parking spots, expensive to buy, has paid for addons that have been coming soon the last 10 years
There is a lot of other electric vehicles I’d rather have
2025 Model 3: 186"L x 73"W x 57"H
2025 Audi A4 Sedan: 188"L x 73"W x 56"H
2025 Chevy Malibu: 194"L x 73"W x 57"H
2004 Ford Taurus: 198"L x 73"W x 56"H
2025 Mercedes CLA: 185"L x 73"W x 55"H
2025 Nissan Leaf: 176"L x 71"W x 61"H
2025 Audi A3 Sedan: 177"L x 72"W x 56"HWhat do you mean the Model 3 is huge? It’s small by American standards and standard by European executive compacts. Compared to what, a Leaf? If the Leaf had a sedan counterpart, it’d be the same size as the 3. Vice versa if the 3 had a hatch version, as a hatch is often about 9" shorter than a sedan of the same model. Of all the things against Tesla, I can’t say I’ve heard anyone call the 3 big. If you’re not in North America, I’m not familiar with the compacts and hatches, but that’s why I threw in the Germans I know
Audi.
Lots of choice in Europe
Ioniq?
Absolutely. Hyundai and Kia have the best EVs by a long shot. Charge way faster than a Tesla, too.
what you expect from temupanzers
I hope they lose money because they bought a 1939 Volkswagan with an electric motor on it, and then claimed
Well how was I meant to know the man who lives on the internet 24/7 and can’t shut up about his opinions of women, non-whites, fascism, lgbt, and lies like he needs his pants to be warm for the winter, was somehow a bad guy? I bought a cool sticker, so I’m absolved of giving him any money :^)
These people bought them because they thought he was a real life Tony Stark, especially the early models and Cybertrucks. I consider everyone driving in one a useful idiot for Trump and Musk.
Now just block trump properties
Boo hoo, don’t care. Hope they all lose their asses.
especially the assholes that slap “I bought it before we knew Elon was an ass” style stickers on their cars.
Musk has always been a miserable piece of shit. You just turned a blind eye to it because you wanted to hero worship a emotionally stunted perpetually 13 year old troglodyte, until you couldnt anymore.
I also remember the hero worship in 2015-20ish, even when projects like Hyperloop and countless others were a well known scam. I worked in top tech and their product team worshipped him, they hated me after I tried expressing skepticism. These people probably think he’s nuts in 2025, but also say “that wasn’t a Nazi salute, stop overreacting”.
He has always been a con artist, I don’t know why people act like “Oh how did you know Musk was a bad guy in 2015? Impossible!”
Yep.
Even going all the way back to paypal, Musk has been a piece of shit. a very obvious, public piece of shit.
Fanboys are in a panic and trying to change history and their blind support of him thanks to the nazism coming out full bore in a way that cant be dismissed/handwaved/excused
The irony of someone calling other people 13 year olds during the most 13 year old take I’ve ever heard lol.
So you’ve never done business with a company who’s CEO is an asshole? Never bought gas, used Windows, googled something, gotten on Facebook?
I knew full well this guy was an asshole. So is pretty much every CEO in America. You can’t opt out, you can only choose which asshole you want to do business with. The holier-than-thou bullshit because Musk is the asshole of the day helps no one. If you buy oil at all, you’re funding an industry that has lobbied governments around the world to buy more oil for literal generations, all while knowing the harm it was causing and the people it was killing and would kill.
It’s cool that you’ve picked the Nazi you hate over the ones that had the good sense to stay home, but it’s childish at best to think that makes you a better person.
Thats some serious “you say we should improve society? yet you participate in society, Curious!” energy in that post right there.
It really is, I suspect the people replying to you own Teslas and are trying to go “N-no I gave money to him and I never knew he was an asshole for 30 years!”
look at the other reply from psi, trying to paint tesla owners as part of us poor workin class folk.
Its fuckin nuttier than squirrel turds.
And they claim we’re the idiots when we can see the history and facts and have memories longer than a gold fish.
its infuriating being a person who remembers history in the world of social media where people make up history on the spot to justify and protect themselves.
Nah, quite the opposite. My point is that we have to live in the society we’re in. You want to label one billionaire asshole as worse than the others just so you can feel smugly superior to people who are, for the most part, more leftist than the average and in the same working class bucket you presumably are. It doesn’t help anyone.
Shit on Musk, shit on Tesla. They deserve it. Don’t shit on the people who should be your allies. It’s counter productive.
Teslas are for the poor blue collar workin class folk, huh?
Is that what you want to think of yourself as?
The best selling car in America last I checked was the Ford F-150, which costs slightly more than a Tesla Model 3. By your math, people who can afford a car payment are rich?
What I’m trying to get you to understand is that the people you started this thread wishing harm to are mostly not millionaires, they’re people who are one layoff or one medical bill away from the abyss, just like most people in America. Your hate for Musk makes perfect sense, and he HAS been obviously an asshole for a long time, and the hero worship he got early on IS and always was stupid as hell. But people catching strays in this fight just because they bought a car doesn’t make any sense.
If you’re going to run everyone through a purity test based on who gets their money, it only makes sense that you should hate on every truck owner too for buying more gas than they need, hate on every Facebook user for making Zuckerberg rich, hate on every person who shops at Walmart for helping destroy retail. Basically, if your test of a good person is “have they ever spent money that went to a billionaire who’s destroying the world” then you haven’t got an ally in the world.
True to your username to just assume everyone who bought one turned a blind eye to him so they could have a hero to worship. Thats just a weird thing to say
Yes yes, I’m sure thats what everyone that bought into his saviour of humanity bullshit 20 years ago with his electric cars and rockets is gonna say.
Because the alternative is admitting wrong, and god forbid anyone do that. Why do that when you can blindly leap into the low hanging trap of my username.
