When this baby hits 88 miles per hour, it sends you back to apartheid South Africa.

That twitter car

How about Derploreans? I liked cyber rust though, living in salty winter roads territory.

Funny how living where trucks are actually useful in the winter has kept the washing tubs to a minimum. Between the two factors I only saw my first one in the wild this month. It was black in a vain effort to look cool lol

I would drop the "r" and roll with Deplorean for all the deplorables driving them.

Makes me glad that Bob Gale is preventing any new Back to the Future movies from being made, 'cause you know that someone in Hollywood would have tried to make a Cybertruck time machine otherwise.

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.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 2 days ago (2 children)

You need to... believe that global warming is real

No you don't. There are plenty of chuds who like higher-end electric cars just because they're extremely fast.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 13 hours ago

All cars in Seattle travel at 30mph or less during morning and afternoon traffic.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Yeah but you dont need a Tesla. There are so many cool electric cars now.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

But do they all validate the inner toxic masculinity needs?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

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.)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Yes but how many of them are Blade Runner's car?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Blade Runner spinners look way better than the swasticar.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 17 hours ago

Pssst, don't let Elon hear.

The movies always made me fall asleep. But in the book, the cars could fly.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The cars fly in the movies too?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Like I said, the movies always make me fall asleep. Maybe I fell asleep before that part.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Sturgist 1 points 18 hours ago

Whereas the Hummer alluded to a military superiority

Uhhhh....you have seen the H3, right?

[–] BlemboTheThird 12 points 2 days ago

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!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago

Conditions a and b line up well… no belief in global warming required to buy your favorite billionaire’s shitty tonka truck.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

It's simple to understand. Just look at the company's stock value since the CEO outed himself as a Nazi.

[–] [email protected] 69 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Funny, but I prefer Swasticar bc Deplorean is trading on the cool factor of DeLoreans

[–] lemmyng 42 points 2 days ago

Wankpanzer is also pretty good.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 day ago

My favorite is Incel Camino.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago

We would have also accepted “Failblazer”

Fun fact: Every month something else falls off these things, or they find out a spring shower disables the electrical system, or...

Doc doesn't have to get it to 88mph to travel Back to the Dealership

[–] Sturgist 0 points 17 hours ago

Doc ~~doesn't have to~~ can't get it to 88mph, ~~to travel~~ Back to the Dealership in limp mode!

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

I don't like that, the Delorean is exponentially better than the nazicar in every way.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

The delorean could go forward in time.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 days ago

Nazi clown car.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

We gotta go forward, forward to the past!

Fun fact: these are actually more explosive than Pintos

Maga mobile?
