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.
I hated him quite a bit before that, but no so much that the OG teslas were off my want list.
To this day, I kinda want to buy one of the used cheap fire sale ones and build a kit car out of the motors and batteries. There’s some good engineering here and there, just not as a whole car and not relying on that company for anything.
OG Teslas were off my want list because even though Musk crowed about “open source,” they weren’t actually open in the way that mattered. AFAIK there’s DRM you have to work around if you want to use Tesla parts in a kit car, and it shouldn’t have to be that way.
i have a specific car from the 80s i want to kit out with electric bullshit.
See that sounds like a fun time, if I could trust my self to not screw everything up. Get a classic car, re-kit as electric, enjoy style AND the benefits of electric.
I’ve seen some people do a nice job on some electric VW bugs, kinda hard to hide the batteries though.
Yeah that’s the problem I’m looking at with mine. I would probably have to give up the t top storage to fit the battery
