I pity the poor Tesla owners who bought their car when Elon still pretended to be a progressive. But anybody who bought one post Sieg Heil, and particularly a Cybertruck, can fuck right off.

Sieg Heil

    Yeah, 2017 with a 3 year lease and option to buy. Sold it in 2020 when I saw it was going a bit… right. 2020 was an insane year for used cars too, 40k buyout or 50k sale. Uhh, sale please!

    Why did you buy a car designed by a software engineer? All cars are killing machines, it was never ok, and willfully ignorant, to get the one with the worst safety records

    I think you’re confusing human behavior and build quality with killing machines and worst safety behavior. In 2017, Tesla’s had the safest rating out there and had promise to remove human drivers from the equation. In 2017, that was a good promise to believe - we know better now.

    And lease, I leased a car. Not bought. I knew my future didn’t need cars and I live in Spain now, never needing a car again at this rate.

    Sorry but fuck that.

    They lose deniability post paedophile incident. Musk was clearly projecting hard there, and his actions were inexcusable even if not.

    Not to mention the SEC fraud that happened around the same time.

    I can pay nothing to not explode by simply not buying a Tesla. And also staying away from Teslas on the road when I am driving in my car.

    Hmm, what was different about the regulatory climate back then?

    I point and boo at every cybertruck I see. Both for political reasons, and to alert everyone around me to the existence of an active hazard.
