i feel like saying "mark my words", but i think tesla would probably end up on the top of the list of "most scammy products, given it's price".

He passed DeLorean quicker than John could look up from his line.

you made me picture a Back to the Future remake with a Tesla Truck as the time machine...

[–] db2@lemmy.world 44 points 1 week ago (3 children)

No and fuck you for saying it.

true horror is knowing you still have to upvote it

I'll one up them, make it one of those shitty NFT monkey cartoons

Even when back to the future enters public domain, if someone ever makes a version with the cybertruck, I'm going to be pissed at you first. The only exception is if the cybertruck can't make it to 88mph and breaks down and the Libyans kill Marty so we don't have to suffer any longer.

Honestly that just sounds like a college humor skit.

Marty: "Are you telling me you built a time machine.... Out of a Cybertruck??"

Doc Brown: "The way I see it, if you're gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?"

Marty: "So you picked a Cybertruck??? What the fuck doc, it's hideous. This is heavy, doc"

The truck shorts out in the rain and catches fire instead of leaving the flaming tracks

That horror scenario has been floating around since the announcement of the murderous tin can. And let me just tell you despite everything I am glad there hasn‘t been a serious attempt at remaking this classic in this timeline thus far.

i picture the iconic flame tire trails, but at the last second they swerve into the oncoming lane

Elmo is a scammer, he has been for at least a decade. Most of the words coming out of his mouth are lies, nothing not this is new or news

the thing about some people is that once you figure out what "their" truth is, you realize why they say they "can't lie" and it doesn't make sense. i'm not saying i've got HIS number yet, but i'm sure it's pretty easy to anyone with physical access to him. just like a pc.
