You know, as much as I think Tesla sucks, I kinda feel bad pissing in someone's cheerios. My Sister-in-law loves hers. She's never had a car she really liked until now. Ima just let her be happy with her car.
I truly feel happy for her. I once had a hammer, which was the first hammer I really loved. Didn’t use it often but just seeing it in the toolbox gave me a good feeling.
You should look for more reasons to get your hammer out and use it! I hear the OP's sister has a truck that could use a good hammering! Don't let your hammer sit around gathering dust when there's some much joy you could get out of it.
"Your sister" spent $120k on that... she spends that kind of money on cars ans has "never had a car she likes"? What a weird and very likely BS statement.
That car is measurably more dangerous for the other cars and pedestrians around it on the road. If she is real, she sucks for buying and driving that thing (and for supporting elon and all his horseshit with the purchase)
He didn’t say she has a cybertruck, Jesus Christ guys. I have a Tesla model 3 that I fucking love. It’s a great car. Yes, Elon sucks and I now feel like a bit of a chud driving it around, but objectively it is a good vehicle by any measure.
This car is a waste of money. I doubt this is a vehicle that can last 15 to 25 years or whatever the average vehicle expected life span is.
I have never seen one in real life but I'll be honest, this looks pretty cool. I also have seen mbkhd talk about how well this car drives; especially for a truck. I see people rave over cars that to me look like giant toys (I admit I'm not into cars) but this is something straight out of a video game world.
What makes it not work imho is that if you see the real thing you immediately realise it’s just a skin shoddily put on a conventional car base. Like a wig, if that makes any sense.
The form doesn’t follow from its inner workings so to say, it’s like a costume.
I'd be a little surprised if they even lasted 5-10 years without a crazy amount of money spent on keeping it running, they seem to rust or corrode if you so much as look at them wrong (never mind all the engineering/design disasters that went into this ridiculous thing).
Seriously, risking charges just to lash out at a billionaire by attacking someone using their product is absolutely crazy. It's unhinged even without the risk of charges, especially of all the things to attack an electric vehicle - do people not remember how we'd dog on the manchildren that did similar things to prius?
Last trump election there was huge push online to make the right as uncivil as possible. It seems like this round its the left because talking to a lot of these people are reminding me of what it was like speaking to the right pre election.
Investing in a license plate from Maine that just says "Event" and driving around at low speeds while smoothly sliding on and taking off my sunglasses was also probably not helpful.
To me, minivans are probably the most sensible vehicles out there. Does it comfortably seat 5 to 8 people? Yes. Does it offer lots of space for anything you need to haul from A to B? Yes. Does it have a footprint and gas consumption similar to a regular sedan? Yes.
I saw one in person finally a few weeks ago and just started laughing; it’s even uglier in person! But I wouldn’t intentionally try to damage someone else’s vehicle; that’s even more ridiculous.
He knew the truck would be an eye-catcher in Maine. But he wanted it for its uniqueness.
“It’s so ugly it’s cute. It’s like a French bulldog,” he said. “I don’t think it’s the most attractive car in the world, but it’s different. And I like to be different.”
Thinking someone is a douche and actively damaging their car are two completely different things. Not cool to damage property like that, just point and laugh or loudly exclaim how that is the ugliest looking car you’ve ever seen and you pity whoever thought it was a good idea to buy one.
