And I thought they were supposed to be shying away from fossil fuels.

Tesla owners going from "Look at me!" to "Stop looking at me!" in the blink of an eye.

if i were looking to fuck with a Tesla, i'd pay close attention to any indication that the car was purchased recently. there are a LOT of people out there with a murder fetish, and i GUARANTEE that a lot of the nice new ones out there are really bait cars for gun owners that have been dying for a reason to shoot someone.

[-] Chozo@fedia.io 36 points 5 days ago

Yeah, probably a lot of Rittenhouse wannabes out there who wanna test the limits of castle doctrine.

[-] toy_boat_toy_boat@lemmy.world 38 points 5 days ago

yes, but this is a whole new monster..

  1. someone shoots a person who's defacing their Cybertruck
  2. they're convicted of murder because it's proven they bought the vehicle specifically to bait a victim
  3. Trump pardons them

i defy you to tell me that this isn't INEVITABLE.

Man I don't even think step two would happen before trump pardons them. The US is so fucked.

EDIT: As an example of what you said, a sociopath who has recently bought a Tesla is the fucking president of the US

Murder ia basically always handled at the state level, so Trump would not have power to pardon that crime.

He doesnt have the power to do lots of things he is doing.

Tell you what's more likely? DeSantis or one of those babyfuckers will do it.

I am so slow lately I saw this yesterday and only just now got the joke

[-] rtxn@lemmy.world 67 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

I know it's a joke, but many Tesla "solar" charging stations did actually use diesel generators a few years ago. Citation needed, but I can't be assed to look up the article.

Let's focus on the nazi leader also not only his old projects

[-] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 31 points 5 days ago

His stock in Tesla is leveraged for a lot of other things he does. Lowering the stock value could cripple him financially.

[-] Jumpingspiderman@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago

Run Tesla stock prices into the ground. It's legal and, short of criminal violence, it would damage Elon worse than anything else. Without his money, Elmo Muskrat would just be the guy at the end of a dive bar you avoid because all they talk about is government conspiracies to cover up the fact that Lizard People Aliens are making human lizard people hybrids.

I thought this joke was going to be about all the cybertrucks needing towing because of yet another recall.

[-] My_IFAKs___gone@lemmy.world 37 points 5 days ago

Teslas don't run on gasoline.

It runs on them.

That's why you add a thickener. Mix some styrofoam into the gasoline and it'll stick better.

[-] My_IFAKs___gone@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

I don't plan on adding that to my camping kit any time soon but it's a recipe passed down through the ages. Got it straight from a well-known cookbook that I studied religiously through my teenage years.

[-] AnnaFrankfurter@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 days ago

Pro Tip, you don't need gasoline to burn Tesla just puncture there battery and it will go kaboom. /s

PS : THIS IS A JOKE DON'T EVER PUNCTURE A LITHIUM ION BATTERY IT IS VERY DANGEROUS

[-] CrazyLikeGollum@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

PPS: ICE cars exploding in flames when shot is a Hollywood myth. Not so much for EVS.

[-] AnnaFrankfurter@lemmy.ml 1 points 16 hours ago

I remember myth busters made a video about that, something like if gas tank was almost empty it atpeast got ignited otherwise nothing even when shot at gas tank.

[-] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 15 points 5 days ago

Actually burning Teslas is bad for the environment.

[-] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 27 points 5 days ago

Drop in the bucket compared to what enabling this billionaire shit bag is going to do.

[-] drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

So make sure people are afraid to buy one.

He loves t' slur, what's unclear?

[-] RymrgandsDaughter 3 points 3 days ago

I think for the first time in my life I'm okay with cars burning extra fuel needlessly

Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
