    What are your thoughts on doing a Nazi salute when seeing a cybertruck? Is it okay because we are mocking them? Or is it just never okay to do a Nazi salute?

    Most people who own these crappy cars can’t even really afford them. Now they are in big trouble because they can’t get rid of them. Lol.

    What if everyone would transfer their PayPal credit to a regular bank account on the same day? Would that bring Paypal value down?

      hard to estimate, but probably not. I think what makes such companies go down is when the investors fear their money might be lost. that is, when the company is not worth much compared to their invested money.

      So only, when the user count is dropping, that would be the case for paypal.

    That would be good for the EV conversion market. Since they use a lot of Tesla motors and battery packs.

    If I had one I’d keep it, vandalise it myself and turn it into an anti-musk advertising vehicle. It’s a bad idea to waste the resources that went into making them.

        Only now the chickens are coming home to roost and they wanna get out, not before though. When Elons stock was up they were happy to have the car.

        This is why we see vandalism as well on these

          “The working class folk who can easily afford luxury cars, you’re just mad they got a Tesla and not a Lambo.”

          If I had the money for a Tesla I’d be better off in general.

    While it’s nice to protest outside of the Tesla dealership, people should be protesting outside of US embassies, and while they are at it, protest outside of the Chinese and Russian embassies too. Block them in.

      Trump and musk couldn’t care less about protests outside embassies.

      The Tesla protests are hurting musk.

      People are doing. But embassies tend to be in capital cities but Tesla dealerships are everywhere.

    I know this the unpopular opinion at the moment, but what electric sedan is better than a model 3? The rest of the producers have all decided we want to drive crossovers or boxes and simply cannot figure out how to make a frunk.

      The first few times sitting in or driving a tesla was cool and novel. But after you have used the fart simulator app a few times, and let your sister in law post a few pictures. It’s just a car that takes a lot of space in small parking spots.

      It is low quality, breaks often, expensive to repair, barely fits parking spots, expensive to buy, has paid for addons that have been coming soon the last 10 years

      There is a lot of other electric vehicles I’d rather have

        2025 Model 3: 186"L x 73"W x 57"H
        2025 Audi A4 Sedan: 188"L x 73"W x 56"H
        2025 Chevy Malibu: 194"L x 73"W x 57"H
        2004 Ford Taurus: 198"L x 73"W x 56"H
        2025 Mercedes CLA: 185"L x 73"W x 55"H
        2025 Nissan Leaf: 176"L x 71"W x 61"H
        2025 Audi A3 Sedan: 177"L x 72"W x 56"H

        What do you mean the Model 3 is huge? It’s small by American standards and standard by European executive compacts. Compared to what, a Leaf? If the Leaf had a sedan counterpart, it’d be the same size as the 3. Vice versa if the 3 had a hatch version, as a hatch is often about 9" shorter than a sedan of the same model. Of all the things against Tesla, I can’t say I’ve heard anyone call the 3 big. If you’re not in North America, I’m not familiar with the compacts and hatches, but that’s why I threw in the Germans I know

    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.
