I don’t understand the market for the Swastikar. You need to love Nazism, believe that global warming is real, and be able to finance a 100K vehicle. That’s a Venn Diagram with an incredibly small center circle.
The recalls and potential to be burned alive inside also have to be ignored.
I didn't buy my EV for sustainability reasons, I bought it because it was the most cost effective and convenient commuter car for my specific driving profile.
The sustainability is just a nice bonus for me that I don't care too much about.
No you don't. There are plenty of chuds who like higher-end electric cars just because they're extremely fast.
All cars in Seattle travel at 30mph or less during morning and afternoon traffic.
Yeah but you dont need a Tesla. There are so many cool electric cars now.
Sure, but if they meet the parent commenter's other two criteria (loving Naziism and being able to finance a $100k vehicle), especially the first one, why would they pick some cool brand when they could have a swastikar instead?
(That downvote isn't from me, BTW.)
But do they all validate the inner toxic masculinity needs?
Yes but how many of them are Blade Runner's car?
Blade Runner spinners look way better than the swasticar.
Pssst, don't let Elon hear.
The movies always made me fall asleep. But in the book, the cars could fly.
The cars fly in the movies too?
Like I said, the movies always make me fall asleep. Maybe I fell asleep before that part.
Sounds like a super power: just put a movie on when you go to bed 😅
The flying car is within the first 5 minutes of the first blade runner movie iirc?
lol yeah I was just thinking it’s like the very first chapter in the book. Which I haven’t read in like 30 years.
You also need to be clueless about off-road and towing capabilities. I see an odd similarity to this car as the Hummer brand in the 2000s. It represented some sort of gluttonous American superiority at the time. Whereas the Hummer alluded to a military superiority, the Cybertruck now alludes to a BigTech superiority. It's all the attempt to buy yourself an identity.
Uhhhh....you have seen the H3, right?
When people refer to "the Hummer" they almost always mean the H1
Absolutely. Just wanted to point out that the H3 exists, and everything after H1 implies nothing more than too much money.
I think it's way simpler than that. Has to be, these people are dumb.
A lot of people worship money, and, well... car made by richest man. That mean car good! Buy car!
Conditions a and b line up well… no belief in global warming required to buy your favorite billionaire’s shitty tonka truck.
It's simple to understand. Just look at the company's stock value since the CEO outed himself as a Nazi.
