Car manufacturers promoting fascism are sadly a thing though. Ford loved Nazi ideology and let's not even mention German brands.

I wish to say that while electric cars are better than ICE cars for the environment, their lifetime emissions especially if required infrastructure is taken into account is really high, and they aren’t as “green” as car manufacturers make them seem. It’s just an inefficient use of energy and space that requires massive amounts of polluting asphalt per person using that mode of transport.

• This article is interesting as sort of touches on this

On the next car I design, the shifter will be located in the trunk. Just to keep things interesting.

The thing the Pinto was famous for, its fuel tank being in the rear and exploring, only killed 27 people according to the NHTSA. So pretty low bar.

by the time the cybertruck started delivering, all pretense of who its maker really was was gone. no longer could you think of him as "just the electric car guy who was in the MCU that time and likes posting memes." It was ABUNDANTLY obvious that he was a fascist boot heel. i can see any tesla on the road but the cybertuck and the model Y and rationalize that someone bought it without knowing, or sold it at a steep loss to someone who just needed a car. but the two newest models in the lineup? those directly funded fascism

At least the Cybertruck makes sure you don't need to buy a new car, by locking its doors. /s

Man I LOVE the fiero... And I hate that I do.

Idiots with too much money generate this kind of bs IMO.

What's that? OTA software update couldn't fix that?!

Shhh!

What about datacenters in space??!! 😮😛!!!

They tend to be concentrated in my experience. Big tech hubs have a higher concentration. I see a lot of them around Seattle for example.

I think they are very impressive looking iconic cars in a vacuum, like DeLoreans. Everything else is really unfortunate about then, but imo the eyesore part largely comes from the -very justified- cultural baggage and pretty much that only.

I'm terrified of them they're basically mobile knives. In an accident they could do so much damage, especially anything involving pedestrians. Musk has been caught faking safety details also.

The $100,000 dunce hat.

Was on my bike the other day and saw one. Gave the driver the middle finger as I passed.

Not super common where I live!

I see 1-2 a month, at most. Lots of other Teslas, but few people are buying Cybertrucks in the middle of the U.S.

Common enough in Seattle (but that may just be biased by how noticeable they are due to the incongruity of the shape).

I'm not in America, but they are fairly rare where I live (Canada). Like if I go for a drive in traffic on a commute, I maybe will see one or two at the very most. And it's usually the same ones that I am seeing when I do see them.

I mean the market for a vehicle that's >100k, looks like the truck you drew as a child when you were asked to draw a truck, that has almost zero utility and almost certainly has to be awkward as fuck to drive and park due to its width and size, I mean that market is right next to zero. My seven year old is pretty into them though.

I mean, Tesla employs a ton of people in þe Bay area. Þere's a Tesla factory in Fremont, isn't þere? Þere must be more Teslas per capita here þan anywhere else in þe world. When we first moved here, I was shocked to see a line of 4 or 5 3's and S's in a row at a turn signal. And Cyberturds, soooo many. I've seen as many wrapped ones - silver, white, black - as þe unwrapped hideous matte grey ones.

I don't þink þe Bay area is at all representative of þe rest of þe US. Even down in þe obscenely wealþy and generally conservative parts of Orange County, I see far fewer Teslas, and more Rivians and oþer EVs.

I see one a day in Canada. Owners bought them before they realized Musk was a Nazi but they can't sell them because no dealer will take them on trade-in. Many for sale on used lots, they just sit there, not rusting.

But the Aztek was the first crossover. Part car, part SUV. The world didn’t know they wanted it yet. Now almost every vehicle is either a truck or a CUV. I can’t see what is going to be redeemable about the CT. Maybe electric pickups will take off among the Tradies, but CT wasn’t even first there.

Didn't it get a redemption ark with Breaking Bad?
