Sure am glad I couldn’t afford one of those things back when I wanted one.

At this point I expect to see them abandoned on the side of the road with a "Just take it" sign over the engine

I hope they lose money because they bought a 1939 Volkswagan with an electric motor on it, and then claimed

Well how was I meant to know the man who lives on the internet 24/7 and can't shut up about his opinions of women, non-whites, fascism, lgbt, and lies like he needs his pants to be warm for the winter, was somehow a bad guy? I bought a cool sticker, so I'm absolved of giving him any money :^)

These people bought them because they thought he was a real life Tony Stark, especially the early models and Cybertrucks. I consider everyone driving in one a useful idiot for Trump and Musk.

I have one that’s nearly 7 years old, fully paid for and still works well. I hate having to own any car and environmentally, the best car is the one you already have. Getting an equivalent car at a reduced trade-in price would cost 20k and I would do it on principle if I could afford to.

BMW and Mercedes both supported Nazi’s during the holocaust and I believe they should receive the same treatment but it’s been the better part of a century and they’re still here. I’d go so far as to argue that cars are just consumerized war vehicles that a civil society has limited use for given the potential benefits of mass transit.

Oil companies bribed and lobbied against clean, efficient, exciting transit decades ago and were all poorer for it.

Ill give you $200 for the battery, the motor, and some chonky relays if you scrape the branding off.
