This is the only good use of a Tesla now, IMO. Get it fully insured, then go park it in a dark alley near a popular area. It'll get torched before too long. No fraud involved with setting your own car on fire....

Then use the money to buy something that's not made by a Nazi.

So long as only victims are insurance companies and Tesla, I am okay with it. To be fair, they kinda deserve it.

Tesla has its own insurance company so double whammy lmao

The Ionic 5n kinda slaps, tho...

If they rely on insurance to not fuck them over, I wish them good luck. Because boy, do insurances have the capacity and willingness to fuck people over

Probably not the place, but Hyundai and Kia are both making some sharp looking cars right now.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (7 children)

Hyundai makes awful products. Look at the major lawsuits they had due to engine manufacturing defects that caused oil deprivation and rod knock(when the crank case/ engine block is too low on oil the bearing sleeves in between the crank shaft and connecting rods that attach to the pistons end up wearing excessively from running dry making the connection loose so the engine will make a loud knocking noise that means it is FUBAR and needs a new engine or a rebuild) across like a dozen different model / engine subvarients over a 12 year period. They are cheaply made. South Korea is a western proxy state their corporate culture is to maximize profits on the backs of consumers and cur costs wherever possible.

Buy a toyota or honda if you want a reliable quality vehicle. Maybe a volvo or a vw product but only if you know how to maintain cars yourself otherwise youll be paying a lot for maintenance on german cars, but toyotas are made to keep running even if you neglext maintenance and are super reliable if routine maintenance is kept up.

Yeah the ioniq looks really nice, probs what I’d get if I was looking for something around the 60k range or whatever

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

Echoing that the Hyundai Ioniqs are fantastic EVs with plenty of actual buttons in the console as well as fast charging speeds (the chargers themselves are the limiting factor)

Sure, but that's kind of every car manufacturer right now. If you let that limit your choice, you won't be buying anything. Depending on where you live, maybe that's better.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago (12 children)

Then don't buy anything.

If you want to stop shit behaviour you need to provide consequences.

Buy a used car instead, there's plenty of them.

When the new car market falls apart these manufacturers will change their ways.

But because people are unwilling to part with even the tiniest bit of convenience, prestige, whatever the fuck it is, I wish I knew, then the bad behaviour is encouraged and then you're left in a situation where the market sees there's no consequences for adding this shit to their products and they all do it.

Then everybody suffers.

Im was starting to suspect it.

It occurs to me, when these shitty batteries catch fire all on their own, now he can blame “terrorism.”

This website is satire and best viewed with a healthy dose of skepticism and a strong sense of humor.

what a disappointment

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago

I'm sure they will get their fair share of people taking it seriously, even though it's satire

That thumb has a foreskin. AI generated images are still hilarious

And the hieroglyphs on the notes, and the funny face of whoever is on the note.

“Sir/madam, (sadam) your conviction slowly steeling and your hands steadying themselves before you finally threw the bottle was heartening, but why did you come directly out of your own house to do it? Claim rejected.”

Eventually one of you’s is gonna try it, but forget a detail or two.

Nice idea, but Teslas are jampacked with cameras.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Teslas are jampacked with cameras.

Which will show a masked figure of weirdly indeterminate height (possible wearing hidden plateau shoes) setting fire to it in the middle of the night, how curious 🤔

Let the battery die, then do the deed.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

0% battery isn’t actually 0%. There’s still plenty of juice to run all the cameras, cell, etc.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (4 children)

Not even close to enough. Teslas turn all of that off at 20%. Running enough of the system to capture and process video takes about 500-1000w, so around 1% battery every hour or two.

Edit: derp, it's 300-500w.

I wonder what fire does to the SD card on which the camera footage is stored?

(Its only uploaded to tesla servers when the car is connected to the internet)

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

They're always connected via cell service, though.

That said, I'm pretty sure the antenna is stored in the right-side mirror, so if something were to happen, like that mirror becoming suddenly disconnected from the body of the car, it might disrupt that connection.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

Are you able to disconnect a Tesla from the Internet? You could forget your Wi-Fi network, but basically every car made after 2015 has an LTE modem

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Chainlink blanet'll do it

National parks have squat for cell coverage.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

be a shame if it caught fire while you were camping in a remote location with no cell service

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 weeks ago

These gosh darn libs came out of the woods wearing masks and carrying molotovs and afterwards they gave me lentil beans and rice and a rainbow flag it was miserable
