I do feel bad, yeah.

Having bad taste in vehicles and too much money to spend on stupid things doesn't really warrant destruction of property. Being mostly unaware of the political statements of a CEO (which, at the time of the Cybertruck's release or when people were ordering it he wasn't nearly as deep into this crap as he is now) isn't really a crime either...

Well...

So what they said way the contract won't let them sell within a year. So they got this recently. There's no way you couldn't know about Musk being a shit this recently, so fuckem, you gave the Nazi money.

On one hand cybertruck is a completely unique design and is a delorean of its day - a trash car with unmistakable, unique appearance you buy as an investment. You don't need to be homo for musk to see that this car will jump up in value in 20 years. And people who bought it as an investment are super happy, propably even behind the " vandalize ct movement" while theirs sits in a garage.

On the other hand even without musk being nazi you are incredebly fucking stupid to buy this terrible car from a terrible company who to this day has not made a single good quality vehicle that is reliable or is built to a standard of the avarage cheap toyota. Or hell, even volkswagen. There were multible chances to cancel your preorder and they still bought it. Even after it was revealed you can't sell it. This is the chickens coming home to roost and teach you about how to spend your money.

Haha. We made a bunch of anti-fascist throws this year, with one design specifically mocking the Nazi Musk.

Be nice or leave.

99% of these bozos bought the thing based on identity. Statistically the CT is proving to be one of the worst put together EV's in automotive history. Silicon Valley and the techbros have been playing supremacy games for 25 years. So what if just now the hammer drops. They played sycophant, and didn't want to hear the left's warnings.

FAFO

I would like it of people would do something a lot more organized and effective with their anger at musk.

A bit, yeah.

By and large the market for the Tesla cybertruck is going to be people with more money than sense. Those people I can't really have any sympathy for. My advice to them is to park the truck in your garage and drive literally anything else that you own from what is sure to be a selection of different cars.

For those that purchased a CT at the end of their finances, and could only barely afford to justify it, I feel for them. They can't easily buy something else to drive, and the contract forbids them from selling anytime soon. They put in their orders long before Musk was actively demonstrating how much of a shit head he really is. These people are just regular folks who wanted a truck, bought the Tesla branded sales pitch, and thought it was a good investment over alternatives like rivian. IMO, they're victims just as much as the government employees that used to work in DEIA departments, and USAID.

Then people are taking out their frustration and causing material harm to those duped by the world's richest man.... Double jeopardy.

None of what Elon did is their fault. People are causing them material harm. You're not hurting Elon with these shenanigans, and you don't know that the person who is suffering is a part of the same club that Elon is. Err on the safe side and leave people's property alone, please.

I don't like Elon, and I don't like Tesla. I have no sympathy for either if they go down in flames. I do, however, feel bad for all those who are being materially harmed by all this horse shit. They didn't ask for this, they just wanted an electric car that goes vroom on batteries.

Edit: seems like a lot of people disagree, that's fair. I want to clarify that the subset of people who own a cybertruck that I have any sympathy for, is a pretty small group.

The fact that some of them have my sympathy, does not, and should not imply that I agree with Elon, support his supporters, or think every person who owns a cybertruck is "good underneath it all". Absolutely not. The vast majority of them are either rich assholes that deserve what they get (eat the rich!) or those that have thoroughly invested into whatever Elon says being the way things should be. In both cases, these are people with no socially redeeming qualities, and 100% deserve what they get. This easily covers 90%+ of owners. The small percentile that went through with their purchase, who are just average Joe's trying to make their way in the world, who thought a battery electric truck is a good idea; those who just happened to land on cybertruck as the result of their decision, and have no horse in this race otherwise... Which again, is a very small number of purchasers, those people I have some sympathy for.

If you disagree with that, then I'll happily hear your opinions on the matter. Please feel free to comment. You're entitled to have an opinion as a free person, and you can express that in whatever way you feel is appropriate.

No matter what, I wish all of you a good day.

Leon prominently threw in with the nazis a couple months before the CT started shipping. People so thoroughly ignoring politics and red flags until they themselves are hurt is precisely why we're in this whole mess. Why are you carrying water for them, when of all the people that have been hurt by all this they are among the people who had it best until now and had the clearest warning signs to date?

I'd argue that the ultimate cost of these shenanigans is, in fact borne by Tesla and therefore the Nazibro that owns the most shares.

People are put off driving and owning one because they worry about it getting trashed means less sell, and the share price falls.

Side-effect of hurting the fee-fees and finances of the pompous arseholes that bought that stupid shit in the first place?

Awesome.

These aren't commuter cars, or work vehicles, there is no practical reason to own one. They are a status symbol of musks politics. The venn diagram of people who own these and wear maga hats is essentially a single circle. There is a daily growing number of struggling american families who deserve sympathy and almost every one of the folks who paid six figures of disposable income for the opportunity to support musks politics are not victims.

Lol. New Orleans putting all the other cities to shame

[-] frog_brawler@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

A little bit... there's definitely a few people that bought a Swastikar that didn't know it was a nazi car. Generally speaking, those people need to pull their heads out of their asses, and perhaps this will serve as a catalyst.

[-] Carighan@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Go fasc lose cash.

[-] roserose56@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago

sad ? NOPE! Look at the car to start with, its so ugly and pyramid! Why buy a car with a contract that does not allow you to sell it within a year? He/She knew it, yet he/she bought.

[-] Punchshark@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago

Buy the ticket, take the ride!
