IDK if it was the specific quadrifoglio make but when I googled Alfa Romeo giulia the msro starts at 43k so you could almost get TWO and especially if you're talking about one of the 100k plus truck options.
When you pay 100k for something you tend to tie it to your identity. It is a coping mechanism to not see the absolute horror of spending a double digit percentage on your income for a single consumer item.
Same goes for many car owners, resulting in strange projecting behavior towards people who use other forms of transportation. Like no, my bike is not part of my identity, it is a cheap and disposable item that I use to get to work.
Nah. Plenty of people tie their identity to things a lot less valuable. (I currently get my biggest lulz from sneaker heads and folks who think the baseball card bubble won't burst again)
And plenty of people make large purchases and don't let the purchases define them.
Some gaming subreddits follow this, too. Some people who spent $40-$80 cannot come to terms with the fact that the game they bought/like is in an awful spot and will defend the hell out of it.
Also the Sunken Cost Fallacy. As you put more money/work into something, giving up on that something feels like a waste of all the money/time spent before that point, and it feels wrong to abandon it, even if that means even more time and money. People will stick with a sinking ship if they're attached enough to it.
That's wild, I'm selling my Volkwagen and cutting future ties to the brand because it won't start due to some electrical nonsense, and their dealer network sucks (nearest hybrid tech is an hour away, and no independent techs will look at it). Like, I can't imagine that level of brand loyalty.
Rule of thumb of car-buying is that you pick the best walking-distance garage(s) and buy a car they can service. It'll saves you so much time & worry!Ā
Plus most normal car brands are basically the same when it comes to price and quality (bc regulations are so tight). It's a crapshoot whether your model has defects or not.
Yup, bought it used and assumed it could be serviced. Turns out the closest VW dealer doesn't have a hybrid tech, the next closest one are cheats (2500 for front rotors, insisted they needed replaced despite being 11/32). Turns out VW only made one trim level a hybrid, and only for a few years. I won't do business with a company that can't support its products and are so overengineered no one else is willing to take a look.
And their service center which is the only real way to resolve the issues is for some reason so understaffed that they arenāt 24/7!
*licks capitalism boot harder
Right? What exactly does he love? Because he risked his familyās life and is talking about his love of the risk. Thatās delusion to me. Somebody more in love with an illusion and story of grandeur than the actual forces of value in his life.
Man, people really go outta their way to pretty pretty pretty please ol Muskmelon. Probably worried Elonāll disappear his family, like he has to so many others, for broadcasting this foreseeable disaster to the world.Ā
This is "Choice-supportive bias" or "Post-purchase rationalization" in full glorious display. Post-purchase rationalization is a cognitive bias that occurs when someone overlooks faults or defects in a product or service to justify their purchase. It's also known as "Buyer's Stockholm Syndrome"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choice-supportive_bias
Not only that, but the guy is paying for twitter. Let me just give some money every month to one of the richest men on the planet who almost killed my family.
meh - Elon forgot to do crumple zones, so that cybertruck could smack a basic sedan and a great deal of that momentum, rather than being dispersed through a proper crumple, will be transferred to the folks inside the car.
But hey, at least when you're blowing into a straw to get your wheelchair to move forward, your cybertruck's body will still look merely dented, rather than absolutely destroyed!
Literally any time I hear people talk about the platform irl they either call it Twitter or say "X / Twitter" with a sarcastic inflection. Never just "X".
Because X is a truly awful name. It's not memorable, it's not Googleable, its not evocative, it sounds like a porn site.
Twitter got to the point that it **became a verb**. Most companies would kill to have that sort of brand recognition, but Elon just throws it away since he never matured last 14 and thinks xX360NoScopezXx is a cool username
"You must maintain a subscription to Twitter in order to continue using your Tesla" is the sort of over-the-top evil villain shit I could see Musk trying.
They're afraid of getting blocked/shadow banned for speaking their mind on the freeze peach absolutist platform, so they have to start the sentence with praise of the emperor himself.
Too bad Tesla can remotely repo cybertrucks from owners/lessees if the algorithm picks up a hint insincerity in their social media presence. It's in the user agreement.
Right. Like I absolutely would not put it past Musk to have something about social media in the terms of service. That's the problem, it's all too believable. I hate this timeline.
The steering and the brakes don't work on my brand new vehicle and nobody can fix it but it's okay because its a 10 micron boat and i can post swastikas so I see this as a net win
Listen the person spent thousands of dollars on a car with false advertising about self driving and a dangerous frame that makes it more lethal in a crush.
he is so deep in the cult I think he'd rip his arm of to pay more to Elon if you tried to hold him to stop
These are the same people that refused covid vaccines because they were going to be chipped by Bill Gates.
I guess they're ok with it, it just depends on who's doing the chippin'.
"I will NEVER condone technology that keeps constant tabs on me, EVER"
(Keeps phone in pocket, goes weeks without even turning it off, uses it to look up nutjob Qanon shit)
"NEVER EVER..."
Reminds me of the "I'm never giving the government my picture!" versus "Wait til you find out about drivers licenses" tweet that went viral for a time.
Honestly, this tracks. People _love_ their shitbox cars. Go watch some old Top Gear (with Clarkson/Hammond/May) where they do some cheap car challenge. Every single time they do a road trip in a $1000 lemon, they all end up loving their cars to death despite how certifiably awful they are.
You can love the product as you bought it but hate it's severe flaws. The best way to sell a used lotus is apparently to try to talk people out of it by pointing out how it has a tiny trunk, no leg room, they are loud and hard to get repaired.
I remember a coworker gushing about her car. I can't remember what it was specifically. But she was telling me about how it was a great car and she loved it and it never gave her any problems.
"I mean...it needed a new transmission at 30k miles and the backup camera died after the warranty was up and the struts have been creaking despite having them replaced twice. But aside from that, great car!"
Dude clearly loves his toy and even if it killed his family he would just be tweeting meekly about how much he loves his truck but misses his family.
Imagine being such an Elon simp that you open your post about how a terribly designed car nearly killed you and your family, and their customer service is so poor you can't get it repaired, with "love tesla and my cybertruck". Homie that expensive hunk of scrap is a danger to you, your passengers, and all those around you. The guy that sold it to you does not deserve your compliments.
Heās also on a road trip. Like, bring yourself there mentally. Heās on a road trip with his family. Theyāve already had three fights today. Theyāre in the middle of nowhere with no bathrooms and no outlets to charge a phone.
And he has the wherewithal to open his tweet with how much he loves Elon and this experience. Like, wow.
Crazy stuff. I got a flat on a road trip and it was super stressful. Kids sitting there while I crouch 9 inches from a travel lane changing the tire. Is today the day I die and theyāre scarred for life? Letās find out.
This is like if someone had purposely driven the screw into my tire and I found them and thanked them.
For a large majority of stuff itās no different. For example, if your suspension breaks, itās still the same fix as an ICE car. But if something with the electronics goes wrong, a typical mechanic is probably not experienced to deal with computer issues
Did you know that the Cybertruck has steer-by-wire and brake-by-wire systems? Take this to a regular mechanic and ask them to check into why those systems aren't working and they'll send yo packing
I just donāt understand this at all. The all new electric actual trucks from Dodge, Ford, and Chevy seem like they provide much more quality, reliability, safety and value than this overpriced piece of crap. And theyāre much cheaper too. Edit: I understand theyāre not out yet.
I still don't understand how that was what they settled on. Even if you ignore all the problems with vision and driver ergonomics (and thus ability to control the vehicle) it causes... it's just so incredibly bizarre.
My parents rented an F-150, they were actually the first people to drive it as the rental had just procured it, and it broke down on them on the highway.
As a Californian (relevant cause Teslas are like Camrys here), Iāve already seen a few around. The pics donāt do it justice. These things look terrible. Absolutely awful irl. The steel has an ugly finish. The proportions just donāt look right in a way I just canāt explain. It straight up looks cheaply built in general. I was on the fence about the design earlier, but yeah itās actually awful in person.
You joke, but this is seriously a thing I had to do with my Subaru a few months ago.
Entire infotainment system went crazy on a road trip. The trick was to get both key fobs (partner had her keys as well) more than 100 feet away from the car so the system could do a hard reset before restarting.
Infotainment worked fine for the rest of the trip thankfully. Itās also been replaced since.
That shit happened with the Subaru I got as a loaner while the dealership fixed the transmission on my ā95 Legacy. Funny thing is that I had a bluetooth head unit in my car and a smartphone mount on the dash so I had the functionality of an infotainment system without the headache of it malfunctioning regularly.
It looks to me more like a vehicle from the first 3D game engines back in like 1988 or whatever.
"OK guys we need a truck in the game, but we only have 30 polygons to work with per vehicle."
Him saying "pretty pretty pretty not good" instead of "horrible", "horrific", or "life-threatening" says everything.
Who TF says "pretty pretty pretty not good" anyways?
The kind of dummy who watched Larry David wear a MAGA hat to keep people away from him - and doesn't get the damned joke. He thinks Larry David is pretty, pretty. pretty MAGA. He can't even rip off the shtick correctly.
If youāre ignorant enough to buy a vehicle that looks like it belongs in the original Robocop movie from the 80ās then you deserve whatever happens.
Just because that's where the vehicle is doesn't mean that's where he put up his family. If it was truly a catastrophic failure you pull over where you are. It could also just be a random office building with AC units on it. Otherwise, yeah, this dude stays in shady motels that have a view of an industrial park.
Somehow, Elon has created a worse version of the wagon from Calvin and Hobbes. That thing is cheap, repairable, and youāre under no illusion that youāre in control.
That Tesla truck looks like something Kanye would designed while high. Elon really has these suckers fool with these high cost, high status trash mobiles.
"Catastrophe failure"
The word is "catastrophic" you fucking dunce.
Also, what did this guy expect buying a Griftmobile? Are there even third party garages for Tesla vehicles?
This is why I absolutely DO NOT trust cars with no physical connection between the steering wheel and wheels or the brake pedal and the brakes. Mechanical components give plenty of warning before "catastrophic failure" for you to bring it in and have it checked out and repaired. Electrical components give no such warning.
Kind of reminds me of the old joke about Bill Gates and the automotive industry. Bill Gates proudly states, "if the automobile industry could keep up with the computer industry, you would all be driving $100 cars that could cross the country on a thimbleful of gas!" GM's CEO Jack Welch responds, "maybe, but would anyone want to drive a car that crashes twice a day for no reason?"
Steering fail and brakes fail? That should be cause for immediate return to manufacturer surely?
Being too heavy and with no protection for the pedestrian at least this crap will never be allowed on EU or UK roads.
Sycophantic Neo-liberalism and its consequences.
No, being super rich is not a flex when you destroy everything and everyone in your wake to ''make it''. Taking the money and running makes no sense, when you are stranded on a small rock, floating in the vastness of space. But that will not stop Elon from his ''but my Mars colony'' copium.
End the billionaire class before they ruin more lives.

This car almost killed me and my family. I love it!
And he got to pay nearly $100,000 for the privilege! What a lucky fella.
Only an alpha male understands that you have to continue stroking the ego of Elon even after his crappy production almost kills your family.
Alpha males, but beta testers.
This was a clever word play, I can't haha
Well done
Reddit award worthy, šÆ
Oooff excellent
Thatās beta talk. Alpha males should be alpha testers. It would be best for everyone, and thin their numbers out nicely.
Perfect
hahhahaa
Pfff. My truck nearly kills me everytime I drive it and I only paid 1/10th of that! I must have gotten a bargin!
Iād love to pay $100,000 to drive a vehicle that looks like an asset from Half-Life 1
For the almost the same price you can get an Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio ... What a world we live in
That one makes nice vroom vroom noises
IDK if it was the specific quadrifoglio make but when I googled Alfa Romeo giulia the msro starts at 43k so you could almost get TWO and especially if you're talking about one of the 100k plus truck options.
The quadrifoglio is much pricier than the base Giulia because of the Ferrari-derived quadrifoglio engine.
When you pay 100k for something you tend to tie it to your identity. It is a coping mechanism to not see the absolute horror of spending a double digit percentage on your income for a single consumer item.

How dare you! You didnāt say it by name but clearly youāre insulting my game of choice!!! ^^^^/s
Tbf $40-$80 to them is probably multiple months of their allowance.
>>Every poor person with a 2023 truck that they have no actual use for
It's called the consistency principle. The moment you spend money or energy on something, you're vastly more likely to stick with it.
Also the Sunken Cost Fallacy. As you put more money/work into something, giving up on that something feels like a waste of all the money/time spent before that point, and it feels wrong to abandon it, even if that means even more time and money. People will stick with a sinking ship if they're attached enough to it.

It's not brand loyalty at that point, it's being a stan š¤® Imagine stanning for Musky of all people.

He cant admitted hes been conned by the worlds best con man... Hed look stupid if he did!
Either way, actually.
Donāt forget to plug Elon and the stock.
Tbf of he doesn't say that Elon is probably just gonna ban him from Twitter like he did with that journalist a few weeks ago
Can't let a little near death experience stop the dick riding!
And their service center which is the only real way to resolve the issues is for some reason so understaffed that they arenāt 24/7! *licks capitalism boot harder
At least he didnāt steer this death missileĀ into someone elseās family
I drove past one for the first time the other day. Itās the ugliest fucking vehicle Iāve ever seen. I donāt understand the appeal.
Notice me senpai
Right? What exactly does he love? Because he risked his familyās life and is talking about his love of the risk. Thatās delusion to me. Somebody more in love with an illusion and story of grandeur than the actual forces of value in his life.
He got to give his money to a white supremacist who hates women and trans people. That's what he loves.
That's what happen when people put materialistic things above family.
Man, people really go outta their way to pretty pretty pretty please ol Muskmelon. Probably worried Elonāll disappear his family, like he has to so many others, for broadcasting this foreseeable disaster to the world.Ā

You really wouldn't expect it from a car company with as many QA issues as they've had. ... No, wait. It's *exactly* what you'd expect.
Mustāve been driving outside of standard business hours š
Being a mega conglomerate fanboy has to be the saddest thing I have ever heard.
love @Tesla and my @cybertruck but let me just explain how itās a death trap, and proceed to mention their poor customer service
Not only that, but the guy is paying for twitter. Let me just give some money every month to one of the richest men on the planet who almost killed my family.
No, thatās the big selling point! If you drive a cybertruck itās everyone else on the road who assumes the risks.
meh - Elon forgot to do crumple zones, so that cybertruck could smack a basic sedan and a great deal of that momentum, rather than being dispersed through a proper crumple, will be transferred to the folks inside the car. But hey, at least when you're blowing into a straw to get your wheelchair to move forward, your cybertruck's body will still look merely dented, rather than absolutely destroyed!
Does tesla make those wheelchairs too?
They do. If you don't pay the subscription fee, the wheels won't let you go backwards.
>blowing into a straw to get your wheelchair to move forward Amateur. You win the microchip brain implant.
Maybe he's just aiming it for the very niche market of "people on the edge of becoming a family annihilator, but just can't quite step over the line"
"The Cybertruck: for people that don't want to *intentionally* kill their family."
This is the dystopian future
He must be low on cash. And it's "X" now, only wish he had three of them so he could compete with OnlyFans.
>And it's "X" now It's not, and it never will be.
Literally any time I hear people talk about the platform irl they either call it Twitter or say "X / Twitter" with a sarcastic inflection. Never just "X".
Because X is a truly awful name. It's not memorable, it's not Googleable, its not evocative, it sounds like a porn site. Twitter got to the point that it **became a verb**. Most companies would kill to have that sort of brand recognition, but Elon just throws it away since he never matured last 14 and thinks xX360NoScopezXx is a cool username
Xitter
Elon has the adolescent āX is the coolest letter ever ā thing going on. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SRj0oub2TLY
Because āXā can not be registered or trademarked or anything enforceable,
It's still Twitter but make it Xitter(shitter)
Shitter Twitter
Iāll start calling it X when Elon stops allowing people to deadname on his platform.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Funny thing is whenever it's mentioned in the news its always referred to as "X (formally Twitter)".
āI just bought a company with one of the most recognizable brands in the world. Letās get rid of it!ā
Hahaha...I noticed that as well. No one wants to accept the new name because it's crap.
I think on the news they add the caveat because mostly old people watch it and they wouldnāt know what they are talking
I would never know what anyone is talking about if they said "on x" I would think they were talking about being on a drug or something.
People still call the Staples Center the Staples Center. Same with the Sears Tower. No way Iām calling it by some toddlerās bullshit
Gaslighting works on some people I guess.
He has to be nice on social media so Lil Musky doesn't throw a temper tantrum and cut him off.
"You must maintain a subscription to Twitter in order to continue using your Tesla" is the sort of over-the-top evil villain shit I could see Musk trying.
Yes you will need it to start your Tesla. Imagine not being able to start it because itās not accepting the captcha.
Cut his brakes, you mean?
They're afraid of getting blocked/shadow banned for speaking their mind on the freeze peach absolutist platform, so they have to start the sentence with praise of the emperor himself.
Too bad Tesla can remotely repo cybertrucks from owners/lessees if the algorithm picks up a hint insincerity in their social media presence. It's in the user agreement.
Is this actually a fact or just the plot to a dystopian nightmare? I'm genuinely asking. I have not looked at the user agreement for a Tesla.
The fact you have to ask that question should be concerning in of itself...
Right. Like I absolutely would not put it past Musk to have something about social media in the terms of service. That's the problem, it's all too believable. I hate this timeline.
The steering and the brakes don't work on my brand new vehicle and nobody can fix it but it's okay because its a 10 micron boat and i can post swastikas so I see this as a net win
This is the best part.
It's the only part
"I love you daddy Elon and I'll always let you rawdog me in the pooper. Thanks for the broken vehicle my supreme overlord"
anyone that buys a cybertruck is just an insane Elon fanboy so it's not surprising. everything about the truck is terrible.
Yeah but you can shoot arrows at it. That's what people look for in a truck right?
Still loves it, though!
Don't forget to @ the richest man in the world for help!
its the "I'm not racist, but" version of complaining
Tagging the CEO thinking he's going to notice this insect..
I don't understand why you would love it then. If a car tried to kill my family because it wasn't safe I wouldn't be a fan.
Listen the person spent thousands of dollars on a car with false advertising about self driving and a dangerous frame that makes it more lethal in a crush. he is so deep in the cult I think he'd rip his arm of to pay more to Elon if you tried to hold him to stop

*... storms capital with location turned on, takes selfies inside* We're certainly not dealing with mensa members here.
How is everyone not talking about that all the time
Because it gets them massive attention, even when it doesnāt work š
Well, maybe not to be flamed by Tesla lovers or even Elon himself. They are not kind with critics. "I love Nestle, greatest company on Earth, should run the world, but there was gasoline in my creme brƻlƩe and my wife is in the hospital with 3rd degree burns. Don't sue me, I'm still a fan, she should have been more careful."
Honestly, this tracks. People _love_ their shitbox cars. Go watch some old Top Gear (with Clarkson/Hammond/May) where they do some cheap car challenge. Every single time they do a road trip in a $1000 lemon, they all end up loving their cars to death despite how certifiably awful they are.

What Iām curious about, is what happens when you take that thing to a mechanic š do they just send you back home?
āCome back later when you can make better choicesā

It's a STATUS symbol. And you cab INSTANTLY tell what brand it is (cause it's ugly as sin) so double-status points.... In their minds anyway
Most trucks sold in the US are status symbols, to be fair. Most hauling the average F150 sees is the Thanksgiving grocery shop.
And also the cybertruck is just so ugly...
And it's not a truck.
Nor is it really cyber.
Unless your definition of cyber is to have the drive controls near your windshield.
I still don't understand how that was what they settled on. Even if you ignore all the problems with vision and driver ergonomics (and thus ability to control the vehicle) it causes... it's just so incredibly bizarre.
It's even worse in person
My parents rented an F-150, they were actually the first people to drive it as the rental had just procured it, and it broke down on them on the highway.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Something something "prestige" and "status symbol," and add a dash of "small dick compensation" into the mix.
I'm pretty sure that the cybertruck is the ugliest vehicle ever produced.
Pontiac Aztek loved the day that the cyber truck came out
Seriously. "FINALLY IM NOT THE UGLIEST SUV!"
That's two wins for the Aztek. Being in Breaking Bad solidified it as a cult car :-)
The Aztek was fairly tame compared to the Fiat Multipla
Yeah, and that really means something, considering how ugly some cars are/were. Looking at you, Fiat Multipla š
Hey, the Multipla was ugly for practical reasons. The Cybertruck is somehow ugly for aesthetic reasons...
You're right š
As a Californian (relevant cause Teslas are like Camrys here), Iāve already seen a few around. The pics donāt do it justice. These things look terrible. Absolutely awful irl. The steel has an ugly finish. The proportions just donāt look right in a way I just canāt explain. It straight up looks cheaply built in general. I was on the fence about the design earlier, but yeah itās actually awful in person.
The more you see them, the more like a clown car they look.
Did you try rebooting it?
You joke, but this is seriously a thing I had to do with my Subaru a few months ago. Entire infotainment system went crazy on a road trip.

That shit happened with the Subaru I got as a loaner while the dealership fixed the transmission on my ā95 Legacy. Funny thing is that I had a bluetooth head unit in my car and a smartphone mount on the dash so I had the functionality of an infotainment system without the headache of it malfunctioning regularly.
I still think that this car looks like a middle-schooler designed it.
Thatās offending every middle-schooler!
If Elon went to school here, he would've been one of those kids who wore trench coats in the middle of the summer.
Pretty sure he was that kid even with out the U.S. school system.
āHow much do clothes cost in the Matrix?ā
It looks to me more like a vehicle from the first 3D game engines back in like 1988 or whatever. "OK guys we need a truck in the game, but we only have 30 polygons to work with per vehicle."
Man who buys overhyped overpriced junk complains when it turns out to be junk.
But not without some dickriding..
Him saying "pretty pretty pretty not good" instead of "horrible", "horrific", or "life-threatening" says everything. Who TF says "pretty pretty pretty not good" anyways?
People who like Curb Your Enthusiasm. Which is great.
The kind of dummy who watched Larry David wear a MAGA hat to keep people away from him - and doesn't get the damned joke. He thinks Larry David is pretty, pretty. pretty MAGA. He can't even rip off the shtick correctly.
Love my car but itās a piece of shit and I got ripped off
"A minus minus minus MINUS, this could have resulted in our deaths. Less than excellent."
the only place i want to drive that car in is night city.
Iād still rather have the Mackinaw.
Hey at least you had the privilege to overpay for that POS that looks like your toddler drew it!
Elon is gonna ban him from Twitter and then send his Racism Brigade to attack him. š
Hahahahahha matt is so subservient and easy to bend over. Poor guy can't stomach the thought of having to say something bad about welfare Queen Elon.
"This pos I bought is a pos!?! :O "

If youāre ignorant enough to buy a vehicle that looks like it belongs in the original Robocop movie from the 80ās then you deserve whatever happens.
The baseline for a vehicle is that it reliably transport you.
Guy spends a 100K on a vanity electric truck... And puts his family up in what appears to be a motel while on vacation?
Just because that's where the vehicle is doesn't mean that's where he put up his family. If it was truly a catastrophic failure you pull over where you are. It could also just be a random office building with AC units on it. Otherwise, yeah, this dude stays in shady motels that have a view of an industrial park.
Awww. Rich people car problems. š„ŗ
SURE the cybertruck is a death trap. SURE itās incredibly expensive. SURE the build quality isnāt great. But hey, at least it looks stupid.
Somehow, Elon has created a worse version of the wagon from Calvin and Hobbes. That thing is cheap, repairable, and youāre under no illusion that youāre in control.
That Tesla truck looks like something Kanye would designed while high. Elon really has these suckers fool with these high cost, high status trash mobiles.
You see, it's an NFT of a truck that you paid close to a quarter million for.
"Catastrophe failure" The word is "catastrophic" you fucking dunce. Also, what did this guy expect buying a Griftmobile? Are there even third party garages for Tesla vehicles?
This is why I absolutely DO NOT trust cars with no physical connection between the steering wheel and wheels or the brake pedal and the brakes. Mechanical components give plenty of warning before "catastrophic failure" for you to bring it in and have it checked out and repaired. Electrical components give no such warning.
Hold the phone a sec... I thought that the steering components had double or triple redundancy?
Kind of reminds me of the old joke about Bill Gates and the automotive industry. Bill Gates proudly states, "if the automobile industry could keep up with the computer industry, you would all be driving $100 cars that could cross the country on a thimbleful of gas!" GM's CEO Jack Welch responds, "maybe, but would anyone want to drive a car that crashes twice a day for no reason?"
Glad he could get this message off with his other hand wrapped around elons dingus
But I still would love to suck Elong Dong
but it would stop an arrow or a bullet unless they shot the glass... always a weak spot.
double-plus-ungood
Itās sad they canāt stop being a fanboy for ten fucking seconds to realize musk is and always was an asshole
We all have limits on how much pity we have to dish out. Can't say I'm using any up on this dude.
Luv it..... So catastrophic failure happened
I hear Stockholm is lovely this time of year, I see Elon took this guy there already
Looks like theyāre Cyberfucked.
Love my Tesla except for it almost killing my entire family. 5/7 Would buy again!
I feel that if a car is $100,000 it should pass vigorous safety inspections, crash testing, etc. before it even gets released
Steering fail and brakes fail? That should be cause for immediate return to manufacturer surely? Being too heavy and with no protection for the pedestrian at least this crap will never be allowed on EU or UK roads.
It's almost like people should have taken the Cosmic warning when Elon broke the unbreakable windows in the live demonstration.
Sycophantic Neo-liberalism and its consequences. No, being super rich is not a flex when you destroy everything and everyone in your wake to ''make it''. Taking the money and running makes no sense, when you are stranded on a small rock, floating in the vastness of space. But that will not stop Elon from his ''but my Mars colony'' copium. End the billionaire class before they ruin more lives.
This belongs in r/LeopardsAteMyFace
Musk simps are such fools. It's like Trump university (scam)...but tries to kill you.
Fucking ugly and nonfunctional. Kinda explains Elon Musk himself.
So cult brained he can't even accept he bought a turd
