I hope they lose money because they bought a 1939 Volkswagan with an electric motor on it, and then claimed

Well how was I meant to know the man who lives on the internet 24/7 and can't shut up about his opinions of women, non-whites, fascism, lgbt, and lies like he needs his pants to be warm for the winter, was somehow a bad guy? I bought a cool sticker, so I'm absolved of giving him any money :^)

These people bought them because they thought he was a real life Tony Stark, especially the early models and Cybertrucks. I consider everyone driving in one a useful idiot for Trump and Musk.

Elon is getting slapped by the invisible hand.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

fun fact: the people who originally coined the phrase 'invisible hand of the market' called it 'the invisible hand of providence' which basically means 'gods inscrutable will'. capitalism-at least market capitalism-is literally a religion.

and its god is smiting his favorite special boy. so sad.

Saw a Tesla today that someone stuck an old Rover badge on, cracked me up

The brand is forever damaged. Sell while you can.

I feel bad for Nikola Tesla having his name associated with all this nonsense. Not even death let him escape from rich assholes taking credit for the work of others.

If it makes you feel any better his first name has fared just as poorly in terms of automakers lmao

I'm actually a big fan of Edison Motors, who are working to make heavy trucks into hybrids. And they're Canadian!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

I'm excited for their hybrid conversion kits

Space X should be nationalized

It should be a part of NASA

We did pay for it.

We're still giving Elon $80 million a day.

Carvana bought mine at a decent price. I imagine the coming glut will have them refusing to buy Teslas outright. Other enraged Tesla owners should unload theirs asap.

I got you.

Www.stealmytesla.com

No need to be embarrassed anymore!

The customer service part... 😂

Our team will handle all the paperwork and finer details of filing insurance claims and police reports to provide you a smooth transition of ownership and plausible deniability.

That should be higher up on the page, since that'd be the primary value of that service.

It's also the point where it's blindingly obvious the site is a joke, so I do think it's best saved for last.

I’m so glad that I lost my job in 2016 and had to cancel my Tesla Model 3 reservation. When I eventually got a better paying job in 2017 I played it safe -assumed I could lose it at any moment- and bought a Chevrolet Spark which has served me well.
