The Sieg Heiling Space Karen genius could not have foreseen this. Is that right?

[-] manxu@piefed.social 133 points 1 month ago

Remember when he told his advertisers to fuck off, and then two weeks later sued them because they fucked off? That's the depth of this man's genius!!!

[-] Tetsuo@jlai.lu 47 points 1 month ago

And he lost the case obviously...

[-] manxu@piefed.social 15 points 1 month ago

That does not prove he is not a genius!!! /s

It took awhile for that to get finished, but it was great to see.

You got to be a special kind of asshole if you’re buying a Tesla these days.

[-] ripcord@lemmy.world 59 points 1 month ago

Their Q1 sales were actually up over last year. It's insane.

The same kind of pieces of shit that still use Twitter.

Not only that, you sort of have to hate having money.

With the cyber trucks having shit glued on them all over the place the company just seems laughable.

If I'm putting down (potentially) luxury car money I better damned well have a luxury car.

Or an Indian. They fucking love Tesla

At this point i no longer care if they lower the price until they're free. They will have to sell them as scrap at a loss. I will never, ever, ever buy a Tesla.

At one point I was considering buying a Tesla. Then I didn't like Musk, but felt I could justify buying a used Tesla, as it wasn't giving him any money.

Then Nazi salute and DOGE and lol, nope. I won't even uber a Tesla.

Elon couldn't pay me to buy a Tesla. I like EVs. It's not about the technology. It's entirely about Elon. I'd rather buy Japanese or South Korean, thank you.

[-] Diva@lemmy.ml 25 points 1 month ago

I'd rather buy a Chinese one, but mr Biden made that impossible.

[-] No1@aussie.zone 10 points 1 month ago

mr Biden made that impossible.

Wait, is he still President with a majority in the House of Reps and Senate since 2025?

Thanks, Obama!

[-] Diva@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Biden put a 100% tariffs on chinese EVs, making it essentially impossible to import them. not like trump was going to roll those back

Which Japanese EV? I'm not aware of any good ones.

Korean ones? Best on the market. If you want the best for a reasonable price, Hyundai or Kia.

Well let’s not be too hasty here…

I really despise most everything about him but if Elon were to actually pay me and give me a free car I’d very likely take it. I mean I have principles but I’m not an idiot.

They're already sitting on them, they should finish the job and shove them right up their asses.

[-] melfie@lemmy.zip 49 points 1 month ago

Reading Tesla workers shared images from car cameras, including “scenes of intimacy” was enough to put me off Tesla. The build quality being garbage and Musk also being a garbage human being make the company just a complete waste of space.

[-] FatVegan@leminal.space 8 points 1 month ago

It's funny how that wasn't really a problem until they found that bond underwater car in a garage recorded by a tesla and it belonged to nazi musk.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 27 points 1 month ago

Destroys them all because unprofitable to sell, whines about major loss, demands government bailout.

I figured something was up when I got a call out of the blue from the Tesla dealership asking if I wanted to upgrade my 2019 to a newer model. Joke's on them, though. I'm unemployed.

[-] Jaybird@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago

Our next goal for them: 100.000 evs unsold.

[-] BanMe@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago

From what Elon says to shareholders, Tesla is going to pivot to becoming a humanoid robot production company anyway, the cars are just a sideline. They axed two models when they announced that.

[-] No1@aussie.zone 25 points 1 month ago

Tesla is a ~~car company~~
Tesla is a ~~battery company~~
Tesla is a robot company <---- you are here

Anecdote:

I was recently browsing an auto listing app for a used EV as I'm thinking about switching to an EV from my ICE hatchback, and the market near me is absolutely flooded with Teslas, primary model 3s. And it's not just "old" ones either. Tons of 2020-2024 models as well.

[-] 14th_cylon@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 month ago

there are people in the world who buy new car because their 2 year old one is already too old.

[-] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 month ago

Used Teslas cost chump change in my country, especially older Model S which is the more luxurious model. Morally, I could justify buying a used one. I still hate the things though. And while I don't care too much about my image, a nazi sympathiser is not something I want to look like.

I'm considering a Jaguar I-Pace or MB EQC instead. But if I can get a REALLY good deal on a used Tesla, I might consider pulling the trigger just because 2 euros per liter of diesel makes me spend twice what my payment on the Tesla would be and I could charge it at home.

Though I do love my current torsen-based Quattro so I'd ideally want an AWD car meaning the ones that fit the bill are about as much as the I-Pace. Which begs the question of which one is actually nicer to drive. Guess I'll have to test drive them both.

It seems like there's a market for a company that will buy Teslas ultra cheap, modifies them heavily, then rebadges them like Alpine does for Renault, AMG does / did for Mercedes, Abarth for Fiat, etc.

These days those are all subsidiaries of the main brand, and even before that they had a cooperative relationship with the main brand. But, I can imagine a setup where the main brand doesn't support or approve of what the modifier company does.

[-] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 month ago

I suggest the rebadged name should be Antifa.

Even better, Tesla and all other Musk businesses should be forced into bankruptcy.

Oopsy.. I want the Tesla batteries, so I can use it has my home battery.

[-] greyscale@lemmy.grey.ooo 9 points 1 month ago

When you've schucked the battery, can I have the drive units, electronic brake booster and airconditioning components?

I want to EV my whip pretty bad.

[-] Eat_Your_Paisley@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

The whole industry can burn, but especially Tesla

[-] Mihies@programming.dev 24 points 1 month ago

Wait, wat? I get Tesla but whole industry?

[-] Eat_Your_Paisley@lemmy.world 38 points 1 month ago

The average price of a new car is 50k.

The US car industry makes almost no actual cars since sedans and wagons don’t make much money per vehicle.

The whole fucking industry deserves to go out of business, and the laws that incentivized building trucks needs to go with it.

[-] ExcessShiv@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 1 month ago

That's a very US-centric view of car industry

And here I am, still thinking anything but sedans are ugly af. SUVs are the most hideous vehicle I've ever seen. Ugly and absolutely the worst possible kind of shape.

Well 2nd worst. Trucks are worse since they tend to be taller. Plus I've never met a decent person who owns one of those tall ones. They're all just chick size competitions, smallest dick finally wins in their eyes. If you absolutely have to have a truck, get one of those Japanese types that are almost as small as a real car that actually has a bed on it.

Whoever started the trend of trucks getting bigger, taller, and fatter all while the bed is smaller than my tiny cars backseat should actually be executed. How many people are they responsible for killing?

If the price drops enough I would get one. I would hate to give money to musk, but it is not a bad car (based on the 2 people I know who have owned them for years).
