      Kind of a self-selecting phenomenon, isn’t it? The haters won’t approach you IRL to berate it, and the admirers aren’t going to seek out an online forum to gush about it.

      Children taking photos with your car isn’t the flex you think it is.

      Coincidentally, and also anecdotally, I saw someone pee on a cyber truck the other day.

          I pointed it out to someone in the car with me and my face probably had a smile, as I joked about how pictures don’t do it service how ugly/odd it looked in person. Then we switched back to whatever topic we were talking about.

          Some people like odd shapes, some people make fun of it, some don’t care. There are plenty of things I’d never drive but might like to look at, some in appreciation, some in mockery.

          My main issues with Teslas are company and owner issues. Issues with cutting corners, his involvement with manipulating governments for Lithium, and the wild way he hires and fires people due to ego (reportedly fired entire Supercharger group because lead wouldn’t do anymore layoffs, and is desperately trying to rehire talent).

          I can discuss all that stuff with people without a scowl on my face, because I’m laughing at such dumb decisions. I don’t have any personal opinions about you really, other that you either don’t know that stuff or don’t care. I might make judgements if I confirmed you knew all that and still went for it, or if I knew you simped for him, but I couldn’t make that call just seeing one out on the street.

      So long as you don’t get it wet and it doesn’t randomly brake on you and the side panels don’t rust and you’re ok with the PS1 yee yee ass looks, sure, it’s great.

      No. I live near a lot of them. I hate you offline too. So do my friends and colleagues. Believe me.

      There are more Musk fan douchebags IRL than Lemmy, yes. That doesn’t mean you’re not a fucking loser supporting a neo Nazi who scams the government for my tax payer dollars. You knowingly bought a truck designed to kill humans instead of crumpling. You’re trash big dog.

      Have you considered people like me aren’t flipping you off as overtly as the loser fanboys approach you?

      If I see you on the road, I 100% will cut you off, not let you in, skip ahead at stop signs, slow down so you get red light tickets.

      Next time that happens, consider whether it’s bc what you’re driving, not the other person’s habits.

      Never thought I’d root for big auto to take point on electric vehicles, but anything is better than supporting that dick bag.

      Fuck you. Fuck Tesla.
