My friend’s father bought a 2025 Tesla after my friend begged him not to, but a boomer’s gotta boomer. Suffice to say, it hasn’t gone well for him, so the man went and put this decal on his car. My brother in Christ, you are driving a freshly redesigned car. Nobody is going to believe your swastikar is pre-COVID.

        Yeah, omg, how it’s this still a thing (better than the older models, but still).
        The production value on not-that-cheap cars is bad, but folks just don’t care?
        (It used to be that ppl thought fancy or rugged cars were fancy/rugged bcs of how they were built, not bcs someone in an ad told them so even after they’ve seen the car irl.)

        It’s like the industry didn’t learn anything from Toyota’s infamous entry into the USA production market.

        imo they blend into traffic. i don’t even think they look bad. however, when you buy a new Tesla your money goes to a very dangerous nazi pos.

        there are many ways one could come into the ownership of a vehicle but if you’re buying one new and charging at Tesla stations you’re financially supporting that scum and enabling his objectives.

        flip-off your local cybertruck drivers and give the benefit of the doubt to the used teslas methinks

          Yea but I meant that even while taking out Elon and his bullshittery, the cars are still fucking trash.

          The panel gaps are huge and weird, the paint is INCREDIBLY thin and sensitive, and don’t get me started on the hassle of an EV to someone like me who lives in an apartment. I also hate the entirety of the user interface and controls, I despisd touchscreens, and I despise all else including the door handles. The whole car is a huge no to me even ignoring the nazi.

          Buying a used one still helps the brand survive by maintaining its relevance.
