tesla is not elon

But they pay him tens on millions as a bonus for being an idiot

Edit: yeah it’s billions. The amount of money they waste on this cocksucker is incomprehensible.

[-] transientpunk@sh.itjust.works 76 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

...tens of ~~millions~~ billions...

FTFY

[-] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 57 points 3 months ago

Tens of millions is drastically understating tens of billions.

[-] Tja@programming.dev 13 points 3 months ago

The difference is literally tens of billions.

[-] Evkob@lemmy.ca 33 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Calling him a "cocksucker" is frankly insulting to people who perform the act of sucking cock. Musk is way too selfish to perform the generous and loving act that is fellatio.

[-] ASeriesOfPoorChoices@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

after paying him tens of millions, they did it again a thousand more times because thousands of tens of millions is billions. tens of thousands of millions of dollars. It's an insane amount of money.

[-] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 104 points 3 months ago

They missed a trick by using paint, when a spray of salt water would have done the job at one more subtly and more permanently

[-] pennomi@lemmy.world 42 points 3 months ago

Subtle wasn’t the intent here. But I do like your thought process here.

Elon sucks, but vandalizing someone else's property because of him isn't cool.

[-] delirious_owl@discuss.online 53 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Elon Musk haters have vandalized dozens of Tesla Cybertrucks being held ahead of delivery at a parking lot in Florida.

Literally the first sentence of the article. The owner isn't going to take this loss. Tesla will.

[-] Tangentism@lemmy.ml 15 points 3 months ago

Those owners are only going to have them for about 4 hours after delivery when the truck will die for a multitude of reasons anyway!

Anybody who buys one of those vehicles is someone who sucks also. Fuck em all.

[-] InternetUser2012@midwest.social 19 points 3 months ago

I'm not going to judge a human by the vehicle he drives. BUT, if I was to, it does seem the BMW drivers traded in their cars and bought Tesla's.

[-] FrostyTheDoo@lemmy.world 17 points 3 months ago

Leave other people's personal property alone, even if they suck.

[-] jmcs@discuss.tchncs.de 17 points 3 months ago

There's a difference between buying something because you need it, and buying something to signal you are part of a fascist cult - and let's be honest, no one buys a cybertruck because it's a good vehicle for any purpose.

Vandalizing cybertrucks before delivery is cool. Laws are not the arbitor of coolness.

I don't know. Vandalizing luxury cars finds me morally indifferent. I'm not going to argue for vandalizing them but I simply can't get myself to care enough for the poor souls whose "cybetrucks" need a new paint job.

[-] InternetUser2012@midwest.social 16 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I don't care either, but still, it's arcargitz to fuck with someones shit. If you're trying to make a statement, damaging property isn't the way.

Edit: Fixed a phrase that offended someone.

[-] theacharnian@lemmy.ca 31 points 3 months ago

Don't care. Also, please don't use "low class" as a slur.

[-] LovesTha@floss.social 9 points 3 months ago

@InternetUser2012 @theacharnian and it's not 'someone's' it is a corporations, one with $44B to gift someone.

[-] Rozauhtuno 48 points 3 months ago

Vandalised? More like improved.

[-] Wxnzxn@lemmy.ml 45 points 3 months ago

Without justifying this really dumb act, because there’s no justifying it, [...]
How about we just don’t vandalize private property. That’s a good standpoint to build on.

Wow, how unbased can an article get?

[-] Jumpingspiderman@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

Why bother trying to make something uglier that is already maximum ugly?

[-] TheFeatureCreature@lemmy.world 41 points 3 months ago

Good. Fuck that fascist and his companies. The only sad part of this story is that they used paint and not something that would etch or scratch the stainless.

[-] RedditWanderer@lemmy.world 30 points 3 months ago

The truck is not really washable. They will absolutely fuck it up cleaning that out. It can't even resist rain.

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

You're suppose to use gasoline or kerosene to clean stainless steel cars. At least the Deloreans came with instructions on how to do it. Not sure if Tesla saw fit to mention that.

[-] Dkarma@lemmy.world 36 points 3 months ago

"It makes no sense to vandalize Tesla’s property because you dislike Elon"

Bahhahaahha. Bet.

[-] JCreazy@midwest.social 29 points 3 months ago

It also makes no sense that Elon isn't in prison but here we are.

@return2ozma Older Tesla's one can give the owner the benefit of the doubt that they purchased it before Elon showed his true colours. No Cybertruck owner has that defence.

They are lucky it's just paint.

I'm sure paint comes off 'stainless' steel real easy....

This is why the planet is fucked, you all whine that climate change is scary but then you cheer on people attacking electric cars just because Twitter man bad. You're all desperate for tesla to fail because Elon upset you, someone doing something petty that'll have zero effect on Elon but will negatively affect a regular person fills you with joy because it's a way of hitting back at the bad man. Totally childish and pathetic.

Spend that energy learning about and praising positive things, don't win by tearing your opponent down win by building yourself up.

[-] MethodicalSpark@lemmy.world 26 points 3 months ago

All of the vehicles in the article were pre-delivery. As they were still owned by Tesla, it falls on the company to repair them.

I’m not justifying vandalism, but the impact to the buyer is a delayed delivery vs a monetary and PR impact to Tesla.

[-] utopiah@lemmy.ml 16 points 3 months ago

Ok... I'll take the bait, can you please share links that show how the Cybertruck is actually good the planet? I didn't actually read technical review about it. I mostly see silly (and sometimes fun) memes. I also recently read that EV in generals don't have the same impact as electrical bikes, e.g https://www.theguardian.com/news/ng-interactive/2024/apr/11/evs-are-booming-but-electric-bikes-are-really-cutting-emissions , but maybe I'm misinformed and this vehicle by Tesla, despite its size, it's actually helping. Can you please share a link to such review and/or studies with e.g Life cycle assessment (LCA) / ISO 14040?

PS: to clarify I don't mean articles about how it's "changing mind", I mean numerical estimations then comparison between one mean of transport, e.g non EV vs EV, or this EV vs other or this EV vs random electric bike.

[-] RageAgainstTheRich@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

Its paint. They can still drive them. Stop being a little baby.

Also, i don't know about a single nice person that bought this low poly piece of shit.

[-] arxdat@lemmy.ml 12 points 3 months ago

Tesla is synonymous with climate destruction and if you believe otherwise demonstrates that you have grossly bought into their propaganda.

They should have aimed at the non-stainless steel portion. Pretty sure you could wipe this up easy with some acetone or gasoline as a solvent.

Fuck Cars

This community exists as a sister community/copycat community to the r/fuckcars subreddit.

This community exists for the following reasons:

You can find the Matrix chat room for this community here.

Rules

  1. Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn't choose car-centric life out of free will.

  2. No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don't use slurs. You can laugh at someone's fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.

  3. Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don't post literal car fucking.

  4. No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.

  5. No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn't a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.

  6. No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.

  7. No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.

Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.
