I do feel sorry for Tesla owners - pre 2025. People bought Teslas in good faith believing this company was heralding green, emissions free vehicles. Which it more or less did. They weren’t expecting the CEO would out himself as a Nazi even if there were clues he was a terrible piece of shit. Being an asshole is one thing but Musk out-Henry Ford’ed Henry Ford.
So if you’re going to discriminate, target >= 2025 owners where this is common knowledge, not those before. That said, the Cybertruck is and was a fucking terrible vehicle and deserves criticism on its own awfulness outside of any political dimension.
I mostly agree, but I’d set the cutoff date sometime around 2023, maybe up until 2024 for someone completely checked out of the Internet and/or Elon’s bullshit. It’s part of why the CT is targeted so much in this way, but not the model 3 or S. There are a lot of people who just wanted an electric vehicle when Tesla looked like one of the more compelling options (mostly due to marketing than actual features/reliability but what can you do about that in hindsight).
He was mask off long before 2025
He threw a car into space in 2018 for the lulz… Dude was nuts long before 2025.
Also elon is not tesla, even if he want you to believe he is. Don’t feel bad if you own an electric car, unless it’s the swasticar.
This guy has the perfect out to set it on fire and scam the insurance company out of money and they chose this. 🙄
are insurance companies still insuring them at all?
If the plan is valid and covers fire damage, yup. You’d still have to argue with them like any other time you make an insurance claim. Now will insurance companies write or renew Cyber Trucks, I’ll assume yes but at higher rates.
I have sympathy for those with older Tesla’s, they were the most popular EV on the market, and Musk was mask on back then. Not cyber truck owners, though, he’d long since shown his true colors by the time it released.
I would like it of people would do something a lot more organized and effective with their anger at musk.
Musk was randomly accusing people of being a pedo YEARS before the cybertruck was released. No sympathy. User error for agreeing to that contract.
Not random people, but people doing a good job and making him look bad.
Sounds like their fault for being stupid enough to buy something you aren’t allowed to sell for a year.
That’s a red flag.
Never heard of having to sign a contract like that for a simple vehicle purchase, that is insane. Wonder if they implemented that after the string of “obvious lack of quality assurance testing” type failures popping up on social media
All other things considered, that car just looks laughably shit. Idiots and their money…
Of course I feel sad for them. The people of New Orleans deserve better than having swasticars in their midst.
I feel sorry for the people who bought a cybertruck ignorantly without knowing anything about Elon Musk. However, how would that be possible in this day and age?
Even forgetting the Nazism and Musk, those things should be vandalized for being offensive to my fucking eyes. For being a bad product. For being a dangerous product.
Tomb raider 1 lookn ass car.
I feel bad they wasted 100k on a crappy car.
I am uncomfortable with vandalizing someone’s car because we hate the manufacturer.
99% of these bozos bought the thing based on identity. Statistically the CT is proving to be one of the worst put together EV’s in automotive history. Silicon Valley and the techbros have been playing supremacy games for 25 years. So what if just now the hammer drops. They played sycophant, and didn’t want to hear the left’s warnings.
FAFO
I feel embarrassed and ashamed for them.
I do feel bad, yeah.
Having bad taste in vehicles and too much money to spend on stupid things doesn’t really warrant destruction of property. Being mostly unaware of the political statements of a CEO (which, at the time of the Cybertruck’s release or when people were ordering it he wasn’t nearly as deep into this crap as he is now) isn’t really a crime either…
Well…
‘‘Spray painted with lipstick’’ hummm…
I read “Spray painted” and “nazi written in lipstick” as two separate acts
Yeah, the use of ‘and’ seems to support your reading. It was a very controversial take on my part. I just read fast enough so things make less sense.
