Sell the fucking car if you can.
I try not to judge Tesla drivers too much since plenty of them bought in before Elon went full mask-off in support of fascism, but if you own a Cybertruck you were 100% aware of what you were supporting when you bought it and I will absolutely judge you for that poor financial decision. Fucking Cyberdorks.
People who own Cybertrucks might as well fly giant Trump and Elon flags. Fuck every single one of them.
I call them Cyberbacks. They aren’t trucks they are bloated hatchbacks.
I bought this before I found out Elon was crazy. Man has always been insane, we just weren’t listening yet.
Yep. Elons always been a massive piece of shit.
The idiots who’ve spent the past decade slobbing all up and down his knob have just willfully turned a blind eye to it cause they subjugated themselves to his derranged cult of personality, that was built all around the idea of his “saviour of humanity” bullshit with regards to his stupid rockets and electric cars.
Along those lines, the sticker shop from the story has since come out with one that says “I bought this before we knew Elon was crazy.”
I always knew he was crazy, but I never thought he was “kill democracy” crazy. It’s a spectrum.
He was always a shitbag.
He just had good PR, and most people never listened to the people countering it.
Now, he’s fired the PR… and he’s still a shit bag with his crazy on.
Let’s be real - all the car companies are owned by terrible people. If it’s not Elon, it’s some other soulless capitalist who pushed subsidies and lower efficiency standards for mega trucks that speed up global warming just as we’re supposed to be slowing it down.
This ^^
All the CEOs are assholes. The American car companies should’ve collapsed, but instead took a bailout and wasted it. The American consumer benefited basically nothing from the bailout.
Yeah, not all people who do bad things are equal. I can’t think of many worse people in this world than Elon, and his husband Donald Trump.
“i bought this before elons insanity was public knowledge” ftfy
No Android Auto+CarPlay is enough for me to never buy one lol. I’m never paying a subscription on a car lmao.
I mean… the subscription is just for internet service and it’s really cheap. But yeah, I get it. It’s quite dumb that they don’t just support the standard because “they’re different”
I remember a Telsa sale rep telling me “Telsa’s software was better.” In the parking lot I proceeded to show them how much better voice control on in my CarPlay vehicle was with media, messaging, etc.
There are many things that Telsa’s experience is absolutely better at, but when it comes to voice control and integration with a phone’s OS, their software still feels dated.
Not defending Tesla, but standalone Android Auto/CarPlay units are a thing and work in every car. They even make devices designed for Teslas that connect to the existing screen. Or you can stick with a standalone that matches the interior of the car.
Never understood why people complain about sound systems in their cars, when it’s one of the easiest components to replace (other than your tires or an air filter, of course). All you need is a screwdriver, a wiring harness, and maybe a mounting kit (depending on the car). I have yet to run into a vehicle that couldn’t have its stereo upgraded or replaced, even modern ones that are integrated into the vehicle. (Look up a device called “Maestro”.)
Those standalone units take what feels like a full minute to boot up though when you turn on the car. I looked into the Tesla ones, and they have tiny 9-10” screens that are meant to be mounted behind the steering wheel -as a touch screen-. At that point you’re better off using an iPad or a Galaxy tab.
Well to be fair, integrated Android Auto units take ages to boot up as well. Plus you still have to pick something to play, which also takes time.
And to be even more fair, these units are just Android or Linux computers, so of course they’re not going to be much different than putting a tablet in a car. You upgrade/augment your stereo because you don’t want to deal with the hassle of having a tablet in your car. Heat is a major issue because tablets have batteries. No such issue with a standalone.
If you want music immediately, there’s still the trusty old FM dial. HD Radio stations are rare, but if you have some in your city they tend to be commercial-free and play better music. Or you can always just pop in a MP3 CD if your car can still play them, and have 100+ songs to play at any moment without any effort.
He was always crazy though. You just weren’t paying attention then. No one remembers him going wild and calling the Thai rescue divers pedophiles to their face and all that?
The rescue divers were the first real public turning point. He has always been crazy, but he tried really, really, really hard to project a cool-uncle, anti-establishment persona online before that.
I think he eventually just realized he was rich enough to stop caring and so he stopped pretending.
Kudos to the Tesla owners who realize Musk is still an apartheid supporting turd. My colleague has a Tesla and his wife told him to dump the car.
Problem is, most Telsa owners still have cars that have many good years left in them, and buying a different new or pre owned EV will be a hit to the pocket book. Especially after selling a rapidly depreciating Tesla.
I get why people are saying “fuck it, I’ll put a sticker on it.” Selling and buying a new car isn’t a thing many people want to do at the drop of a hat. I
Here is my favorite.
Elon owns and profits off Tesla, but otherwise, he’s not very special. He’s rich, and he can win games of marketing chess, and intellectual property theft. I can never help but point out at al opportunities that he’s not much of an inventor, but no wonder he’s buddy buddy with Trump, they both are great at claiming credit for things they had little to do with. Its also fascinating, every venture Elon is in, is actually pro-leftist pro-environmentalist pro-deepstate, yet he’s hated by leftists for ‘being mean’, and loved by Trumpsters despite his true intentions being to help the government take freedoms away. That dynamic, is worthy of study in my opinion.
Why do they buy cars? To make political statements or to pollute less?
It’s not like Elon Hunk himself is creating these cars with his hands
Why do they buy cars? To make political statements or to pollute less?
They’d wear it around their shoulder if it was light enough.
Just driving your Tesla without trying to apologize for it would be a lot more dignified.
