UK must try harder.
List of stuff that I can’t accept from a vehicle:
- If it’s created by a Nazi
- If the gear selector is on a touchscreen
- If the blinkers are on a touch button
- If the wipers are on a menu on a touchscreen
- If it has no support for Android auto or carplay
- If it requires a subscription for something that is already present at moment of purchase or is done locally by the headunit
- If the doors don’t have a mechanical unlock from outside or inside (no, the mechanical unlock from inside it’s too hidden to be considered, in case of emergency nobody will be able to find it before being burned alive - even in a hidden room game they don’t hide levers under rubber mats in drawers)
If it’s created by a Nazi
Leon didn’t create it. He just bought the company. But for me, Nazi ownership is a bigger deal anyway.
Well at point one, you’ve lost Volkswagen
Mercedes and BMW both worked for Hitler, even Porsche.
Ferdinand Porsche designed the original Volkswagen. There’s a very strong argument to be made that he was a Nazi.
Volkswagen also does subscription for heated seats
And lies about emissions.
Means that too many people are still buying teslas though.
My friend has one. When I saw her I asked if she knew there was dog shit on her drive. She came out and asked where. Wasn’t hapoy when I pointed at her tesla.
Attaboy, make her regret it every second you’re around
When she asked you if you think that was funny, did you reply with “heil no”?
Lol she didnt ask.
She just called me a dickhead
Off-topic, but…
it occurred to me the other day that Tesla (the actual person) has been exploited by Edison in real life. A century later his name is exploited yet again by another “genius inventor”. I just feel bad for the guy.
No worries! The stock price keeps going up, so it doesn’t matter how many cars Tesla actually sells.
Oh dear. How sad. Never mind.
My heart goes out to Musk…
I wonder has that super genius figured out it was his fault yet? Just kidding he is a narcissist. They never blame themselves for their problems.
Thoughts and prayers 🙏
Musk fucked around and found out.
TBF I’m pretty sure that cheap Chinese EVs are a pretty big factor here. Of course, all the nazi shit doesn’t help.
Yaaaaaay.
Does this mean we can get the real "Tesla"s soon?
Nikola Tesla style tech, not Tesla Corporation style tech. Emanipatory tech, not rentier tech. Spaceships for everybody, not cars and rockets for the rich enough.
No? It doesn’t mean that? Aw.
Stupid reality!
I’d like to see this article’s sources for the Norwegian sales number. Unfortunately, most other sources point to an about 40% increase in Tesla sales here last year. I generally like my country’s adoption of evs (I’m on my third), but the fact that the muskrat keeps selling cars in norway massively bugs me :/
IIRC that was because of the legislation change? Something about luxury vehicles thing stuff cheap thing change…projections are that it’ll crater this year? But I have zero sources, but that’s a starting point for a search, I guess. I’m about to start watching a gig so I’ll leave that someone better.
Their bubble is slowly leaking, and it will never inflate again. Tesla will be bankrupt in 3 years.
There are plenty of MAGA sheep, plus Teslas still seem to be super popular among the transplants from India in my area to keep the company around for a long time. SpaceX & Starlink have essentially no competition and Musk will just pivot.
I see more BYDs in my country’s streets.
Good. More please.
I need articles like this to make me feel just a slight bit of joy with all the absolute insanity going on daily in the US.
That’s awesome to read
