Third option: Blame Soros or Biden

Making choices in the "free market" of capitalism:

  • A car that will destroy your health, community, planet, etc.
  • A fascist car that will destroy your health, community, the planet slightly slower, etc.

Remember: Without a car you will live in poverty and isolation at best.

Implying the vast majority of their voter base can even afford Tesla's.

The ones that do would have to forgo owning a huge lifted truck which I guess would also be a benefit.

It's still not going to even come close to bail Elon out of the situation he's in on account of so many big export markets now refusing to buy his shit, so he's fucked regardless. No-win for him, all-win for us

How long before Tesla's next car has a combustion engine?

[-] Petter1@lemm.ee 7 points 16 hours ago

Maybe they will run on trumps “clean coal” lol

They could exclusively charge at those superchargers directly powered by fossil fuels https://www.sfgate.com/centralcoast/article/tesla-interstate-5-supercharger-power-plant-18343119.php

They do not have to be Registered Nurses.

[-] samus12345@lemm.ee 18 points 1 day ago

Like most of them could afford a Tesla.

Cash advance services see 800% profit with this one weird trick!

[-] ZJBlank@lemmy.world 5 points 23 hours ago

One weird truck*

If they sold the kidneys of their entire family, maybe.

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 4 points 20 hours ago

Judging by the effects of the market on Tesla stock, I really don't think this is the struggle that the meme suggests it is.

[-] flightyhobler@lemm.ee 14 points 1 day ago

I was wondering about this earlier today. How to they reconcile "Elon is God" with "Electrification goes against my fReEdOm"?!

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago

Easy. You are allowed to drive an electric vehicle as long as you drink two full cups of leaded gasoline a day.

[-] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 3 points 23 hours ago

Where do electric cars fit into "drill baby drill"?

[-] EstonianGuy@lemm.ee 18 points 1 day ago

Compromise, buy the tesla but destroy it so no one can drive it

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 day ago

I think they should go for it and buy the 21st century Pinto. No one, not a soul, is laughing at them. I swear.

[-] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Hey now, the Pinto at least had to be in an accident first before it would blow up.

[-] DrunkEngineer@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago

Thanks to pollution credits, Elon gets paid regardless of whether they choose to drive an EV.

[-] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 day ago

Almost like not everything is polarized to left and right

[-] Allonzee@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

They aren't. Because there is no American left with any power.

Everything is polarized between "I affirm your identity as you die in a cardboard box under a freeway due to market forces" extreme right(D) and "get into the fucking gas chamber" Fascist(R).

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Leftists be like

[-] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 day ago

They will still find a way to make exhaust pour out the back

[-] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 2 points 23 hours ago

Teslas are already very good at emitting plumes of smoke without their help, tyvm.

[-] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Yeah, after the batteries explode.

[-] RoamingWanderer@mander.xyz 1 points 22 hours ago

Or making them overly loud and obnoxious for no reason
