the vast majority of them i see around my area have branding decals plastered all over them. no doubt they are being used as a business expense or some other dumb shit.

There are huge tax breaks for...

Buying a car for your business.

Buying a car that has a 6ft bed for your business

Buying a car with 6000+ lb curb weight for your business.

Buying an electric car for your business.

Buying a car that is wrapped or decorated to promote your business.

When you put them all together, the CT is basically 100% tax write off.

A van would be so much better for advertising. Much more space to put a logo and text plus it's higher up and therefor more easily visible.

You could put a blinking neon light ad all over the entire night sky, but if someone farted, you would still look around and ask "who farted?".

The Tesla is so stupid ugly that it attracts attention the same way.

I saw a local restaurant with its branding on it the the other day. Well, there's one restaurant I never need to try.
