Im personally looking forward to Edison EV conversions.

The ability to take a vehicle I already have and turn it into an EV or hybrid would be amazing.

I know they’re a while from full production, but I see that as a win. So many of these EVs are having quality issues because they’re being shit out onto the market as fast as humanly possible. I’d rather a company actually take the time to do R&D, test things thoroughly, and then release a product.

Elon: "and I took that personally..."

Good, fuck those poorly made vehicles.

Burn a Tesla, make the world a better place.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Burning makes the world a more dangerous and polluted place.

There are much more eco friendly ways to vandalise and immobilise.

What is an alternative to burning for long-term immobilization?

Asking for a friend.

Sometimes you gotta get creative.

Hmm. Long term is a more difficult constraint.

I think short term can be just as effective at damaging Musk.

It's hard to be mobile with deflated tyres.

Even just a dirty windshield and rear camera (on the top of the tailgate) will reduce Tesla share price without running the risk of a prison sentence.

You need a wooden fence to totally immobilize a cyber truck

In Europe Tesla isn't even #1 on EV anymore, they have been surpassed by VAG aka Volkswagen Group.
Depending on how you compare, they are probably a little bit more expensive, but also higher quality.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 days ago (1 children)

but also higher quality

That's a low bar.

after what he has done to californias fast rail system, with the hyperloop scam, he deserves much more. he kept it long enough until trumps admin blocked any funding for it, through ELAINE CHAO.

This belongs in uplifting news

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 days ago (1 children)

0% would be uplifting. This is still way too many people supporting a piece of shit.
