A Facebook group for Cybertruck owners is full of videos and photos of passersby and other drivers flicking them off, leaving notes that say “WHAT’S ELON’S CUM TASTE LIKE?,” and “NAZI CAR,” and people kicking their cars, throwing slices of cheese at it, etc.
This is exactly like the support groups for parents who got NCed after refusing to get off their MAGA bullshit. Don’t buy a dumb car if you don’t want people to say you have a dumb car.
Please correct me if I’m wrong but, hypothetically if someone were to vandalise a Tesla to the point of it being written off, could the owner request that the insurance company replace it with a non-tesla car?
Where I live, you get a clump sum of money based on the totaled cars current market value. So YES, in some places!
Flipping off*. You can flick off boogers, but you flip the bird.
I see a Reichertruck sometimes on my commute and wonder if the driver gets shit for it. It just gets an angry glare from me.
i call it the cybercoffin, and the charcuterie on wheels.
Destroying people’s property is not a joke. Kicking, spray painting, throwing food at, and other forms of harassment are wrong. The last administration told everyone to “go electric” so people tried to do what they thought was right. Cars are a huge expense, people can’t " just go get another one".
No one bought a six figure truck with no reasonable application because they thought it was right thing to do, they did it to show how they had more disposable income than you and that they aligned with hatred. They deserve much worse than anything I see here.
The biden\harris administration told people to buy electric, offered tax breaks, and tax rebates for 4 years. Every car manufacturer started producing electric cars at their request. Where have you been?
You’re being disingenuous, for example by equating the cybertrucks and some other Teslas being “destroyed” (sure in some cases but not by slices of cheese or notes) with any and all electric cars, or by equating the negative sentiment against Tesla with negative sentiment against any EV.
No you’re being disingenuous by attempting to change the topic we are actually discussing which was people being harassed for driving the “wrong type of electric car” by terrible people who feel justified in victimizing them. While these victimizers congratulate themselves for being “good people” which they are not.
people buy it so they can brag about it.
If it was a 5 year old Tesla you might have a point. There is no excuse for the memetruck.
While I agree “sell your car” is kind of ridiculous when nobody is buying and everyone is saying “don’t own it OR ELSE”. On the other hand most teslas are owned by the bank and people larping being rich as tesla is a premium car (nevermind that it’s built like to the standard of russian cars and falls apart constantly). Thirdly this is about the cybertruck. Cybertruck was a man squatting with his trousers down and making a face of great effort. Unless you are a complete moron or otherwise obnoxious, you knew exactly what was coming out of that anus. With a cybertruck It’s either in hidden away as an investment since it will be the next delorean once us civil war is over, or you are a bona fide complete moron for owning it and honestly deserve the financial hole. Selling theirs at a massive loss might even save their lives considering the safety record of that turd.
Bootlicker
They’re all masochists. I’ve never seen a group that wants to be oppressed more than conservatives. Their lives revolve around bullshit perceived aggrievement.
Fancy way to call people stupid
It’s a unique kind of stupid that deserves recognition.
Christian conservatives are the worst of them all. Their entire society is steeped in their religion; it’s literally unavoidable, despite the first amendment being very clear. If the US has a culture, it would heavily overlap with Christianity.
And yet they have convinced themselves that they are being oppressed. Because someone dared to challenge their obviously unconstitutional bullshit. It’s so pathetic.
The modern Christian Establishment has a great deal in common with the United States itself. There’s tons of writing and chatter about being based on principles of personal freedom and responsibility, taking care of one another, etc. while in real life the ones steering those ships will laugh you out of the room if you suggest they actually try to live and treat folks anything like their texts say they should.
There are, of course, genuinely good Christian and American individuals out there, but they are clearly not the ones in control of their institutions; the collective human organizations which serve to represent them are all about keeping up sparkly appearances and telling nice stories while standing firmly on the necks of anyone they deem too different from themselves.
Those people are good in spite of their religion.
Christianity takes all of the best aspects of humanity, and convinces people that they require some sort of supernatural force to be or do those things.
Happy Holidays has entered the chat.
My Catholic in-laws voted for Trump in 2020 because Biden, a Catholic, was going to outlaw catholicism.
There’s no hope for these people.
…he voted for the people who dont recognise the head of his religion?! As a former catholic myself, wow, he is a stupid one, hope the one person threw which they are your inlaws isnt as bright as them
Like imagine hearing or reading something so patently absurd, and taking it at face value without bothering to check if there is any truth to it. Brain rot.
It’s just their projection taking another form: they know that they want to “outlaw” (or oppress or whatever) the other religions and minorities, so in their mind, the Democrats must be planning to do the exact same thing to them.
That is as deep as it ever gets with these people.
A lot of core concepts in Christianity are incompatible with being white in America. It’s a religion for the oppressed being practiced by the oppressors. They’re the Pharisees. It takes a lot of mental gymnastics to figure out how to see themselves as the lepers and the Jews.
Cybertruck? Oh, that boxy Prius. Gotcha.
The prius doesn’t deserve that.
Dude, the last version of the Prius I saw was a couple years ago on MKBHD, and it looked amazing and had a solar roof.
Fun fact: the solar roof debuted on the Prius for the 2010 model year, in 2009
Damn!
So, they acting at the same level as Nazi…
Buying a Cybertruck: a choice
Being Jewish, a woman, transgender, disabled, etc, etc: not a choice
I don’t think that’s the distinction.
the distinction is throwing cheese at a fucking death trap of a car is not even remotely “the same level” as advocating for the extermination of groups of people, regardless of whether those groups are based on choices or immutable characteristics. you have to be actually cartoonishly insane to even think this is even comparable to anything associated with nazis.
another distinction is that nazis do and advocate for abhorrent shit, and anything done to a nazi is therefore self defense.
Your right I’m gonna hold up a small sign somewhere out of the way to fight Nazism. I have a feeling that reading the sign will hurt the Nazis feelings and that will really deter them. Plus people will appreciate that I didn’t disturb anyone at all. /s
Dude this is a pretty mild form of protest.
I sympathize with the people who bought the car not realizing he’s a Nazi asshole. But considering his treatment of workers and general anti-repair attitudes have been well known for a while. I’m not gonna sympathize too hard.
Nazis are well known for having thrown slices of cheese at things.
If only throwing cheese, they vandalizing cars and charges
oh yeah they’re known for vandalizing … jews? what the fuck are you sniffing right now?
At this point you might want to look up what level the Nazis were at.
Throw a couple more words in there and you might have a coherent sentence.
Them is am very smort! All smort people is am know!
Leaving notes…committing genocide, yeah they’re interchangeable really.
See, Nazis were objectively bad, and deploramobile owners FEEL these people are bad, so they must be the same.
deploramobile
I’m on your side but there’s no need for that kind of language.
they’re called swasticars
the only way these people will learn [is] if they are shamed
Oh projection…
Oh projection…
I don’t think you really understand the words you use.
You’re saying shaming nazis is shameful?
Bro the quote is from a nazi car OWNER not the critics, the OWNER of nazi car is doing the projecting. You clearly dont understand that even after multiple people have pointed it out and thats why youre getting flamed. Lick your wounds and move on.
Jesus, the lengths you’ll go to to avoid seeming like the idiot which you are.
I’m used to being right and in the minority. This site is filled with pseudointellectuels like you.
No-one is projecting any emotions onto another person. That’s what psychological projection is. Not a buzzword you use when you ran out of smarts (which happens very fast with you, doesn’t it?).
It’s not something you get to yell out and then automatically “win” the argument. Although that’s the only way in which you know how to use it.
Same with “lol now your just trolling” and others forms of “I don’t actually have to answer that question which points out what a hypocritical wannabe I am”
Don’t use words you don’t understand. Simple as. Use the small ones, they’re your size.
Wow what a prick. Is that simple enough for you?
Me being a prick doesn’t make me wrong though.
You should probably read the context around a comment before replying to it.
Why?
to keep from arguing the opposite of what you think you are
I’m not going to transcribe the article for you dude.
What you mean is that you don’t actually have an argument. You just pretend like you do.
No argument needed here.
Oh so you don’t need to say what someone is projecting when making an argument about someone projecting?
Makes so much sense. Not at all a desperate measure by the thickheaded pseudointellectuel who said “omg lol that’s projection”
You saying that is the same as when Flat-Earthers cry “do your own research”.
Cybertrucks are ugly, poorly-built, and poorly-designed vehicles. These protesters are doing any potential owners who get deterred from wasting their money on them a favor.
You forgot no safer than a ford pinto.
Oh, the Pinto, with it’s missing gas tank design, and later rebranding as the Ford Mustang after killing so many in a firey death. Gotta love the Pinto…
Edit: to be clear, I’d rather drive it than the boxy Prius wannabe.
and later rebranding as the Ford Mustang after killing so many in a firey death
It’d be funny if true but the Pinto sold for longer than the Gen II mustang, they just looked similar
Dude, what did the Prius do to you?
Like 13 times less safe than a Ford Pinto, and ~50x worse (for fires) than another EV.
I test drove one because I had to know. It was awful. I’ve driven dozens of different vehicles and it by far is the worst I’ve ever driven. It’s just stupid. Everything about it is stupid.
It also felt satisfying to cost Tesla like $10 in electricity and wear and tear.
It also felt satisfying to cost Tesla like $10 in electricity and wear and tear.
Should we all sign up to test drive Teslas with zero intentions to buy, just to cost them time & money?
Yes.
I have a feeling that one of Elon’s kids were the inspiration. One told him while watching Blade Runner or something with them “Why does the future not look like the future?”, then he decided to cook, and people around him let him.
Elon doesn’t spend time with his children. They are meat shields to him.
Close, except it’s himself coming up with the idea. His kids are smarter than that
Dicks buying cybershits deserve some mockery.
I was an adult when I learned that some people say flick instead of flip.
it’s what we all called it in first grade. past that bot so much
EDIT: Also, obligatory…
These protestors in front of Tesla Service Centers need to see what a majority looks like…A couple hundred CTs surrounding them might do it.”
This guy thinks the majority means “whoever shows up with weapons”
…A couple hundred CTs…
Gonna be hard to get the majority of them that have been sold to show up in one place at one time.
I was gonna make a joke about that in my original comment but I checked and was surprised to find that like 30k have been sold in the US
30k is abysmal for a car that had almost 2 million pre-orders. Clearly, there is huge demand for a vehicle like the Cybertruck, but not specifically the Cybertruck. A little hyperbole can be fun sometimes.
There was huge demand - if they had released what was promised for the promised price in the promised year it would have been the only EV truck, have capabilities beyond any EV car, while also being among the lowest price EVs.
I’m generally not interested in a truck but was tempted by the original announcement. However what we finally got was an easy “no”
He also thinks there are a couple hundred cybertrucks nearby. Thinking may not be his strong suit.
Hey if you’re near a Tesla storage lot, there probably IS a couple hundred cybertrucks nearby.
Sitting there, having their wheels stolen and rotting since nobody is buying them, but that’s still technically nearby.
having their wheels stolen
I am pretty sure in the car parts thievery guild, showing up with something from a Tesla is sure to get yourself excommunicated and even banished.
Or just unsold sitting in an abandoned mall parking lot
American cheese used to cost more than eggs. Now cheese is 10x cheaper than eggs. New throwables just dropped.
Cheese frisbee!
