Ah yes, the "gesture reminiscent of a Hitler salute"

Edit: To be very clear, it is a Hitler salute. I was mocking some German news sites that said it was only "reminiscent of one".

Same for the models X and S. The S was actually a decent car. Sucks to own one now.

The Homer was fugly, but it was fun.

CyberDumpster is fugly, and lacks fun. Even if you take Muskrat’s politics out of the equation, the dumpster isn’t functional, and is outperformed by a Honda half its price.

There is someone who has one in my area and taking a look at him…he just looks like a guy who has always tried so painfully to be in the cool crowd, so he jumps first into new things, but just keeps failing. And, it’s very clear that he can’t do anything else with it because he dropped so much money on it and likely can’t afford to “trade-in” for half its value.

Are you kidding, the Homer had a domed windshield, two of them! ... full 360 degree unobstructed view of the world .. what does the cybertruck have? Angles! .... The Homer was way ahead of its time

The Simpsons predict the Cybertruck

Bullet proof glass is supposed to shatter? That's part of how it absorbs the energy from the bullets...

"Dear Elon,

Your constant inquiries have gone beyond annoying, so I'm going to give it to you straight: You will never be invited to my island.

Look, the truth is, you're just too fucking weird. It's hard enough to keep these girls in the game, pretending to enjoy sexing up these sweaty, fat old pigs, without some grotesque naked goblin prancing around, randomly emitting strange noises like a howler monkey with Tourette's. You'll scare the crap out of my kittens. They're only little girls, after all.

I wish you well in your future endeavors, but lose my number.

Your friend,

Jeff"

1.. Buy fully autonomous car

2.. rent it out as an autonomous cab

3.. use an autonomous cab to get around

4.. ???????

5.. Profit

It's a matter of who owns the resource, and your current state assumption is what oligarchs want to change.

Just like PCs, they will structure it so you won't be able to afford one. For vehicles they'll use the insurance industry as a wedge as well, and as more and more people lease/rent their vehicle with included insurance(this will be one of the talking points for the owners class selling you one), those trying to not have a rent payment will see their premiums ever increase.

Think about how insane car prices have gotten ecen for used vehicles in the last few years--and It's not improving even though all the "supply chain" issues attributed to COVID have long ended. It's the same system phenomenon that happens in gentrifying areas with the existing minorities; property values go up, as do property taxes and even long-time residents who own their home free and clear can't afford the property tax increases--it snowballs into additional gentrification.

It explodes like JohnnyCab.

I heard they produced 750K, and sold 100K.

nice going checks name Smerlon Trusk?

You’re the problem, good job, thank you for identifying yourself

I had the displeasure of owning one of these and my god it was made of tin foil. Half the shit on that car would break just from driving it. My rear hatch would just open randomly when it was in the mood for instance.

His name is Harrison Ford!
