Teslas turn toxic as sales crash in Europe and the UK | EV sales in the region are growing, but not for Tesla

Yeah, el Caminos look proper cool. TBH I thought my jumbuck looked pretty cool too. And it was really useful, at the time I was hauling a lot of wood and it drove just fine with a heavy load. I think it was maybe a 1.2 petrol engine iirc. They are pretty cheap if you can find them, I sold mine with 6 months MOT for about £500 . But yeah, parts are tricky, which isn't great with a work vehicle

Tesla doesn't deserve to tarnish the great inventor's name. Elon more specifically. But who knows, possibly the company's management team are all mini Elons. The workers they are not at fault.

I get the impression that right wing folks are more into fossil fuels.

Yup. I’d say they’re intentionally stupid.

At least the current vw CEO isn't openly a Nazi and they make good cars; unlike muskrat and his swasticars.

I don't think taking away their money would instantly fix their sociopathic tendencies, but it would allow them to actually engage with real human society again and the community and experiences from that would help to build empathy again.

But the reason for stripping them of their wealth is that their dangerous, we don't give nukes to violent schizophrenics.

I wouldn't fuck with VW after their "eco-diesel" bullshit from a decade or two ago.

I had the option, it drives you nuts

[shasta@lemm.ee]

Yeah I'm glad the other guy replied with more details because my fuzzy memory was telling me that the French surrendering stereotype was around back in the 90s at least, but I was pretty young then and it was hard to remember.

Sure am glad all the car companies decided to use the Tesla charger as the standard. /s

[flowvoid@lemmy.world]

It's an open standard now, it doesn't really matter that Tesla was the first. So it's a good thing, kind of like iPhones using "Android charging cables" now.

Elon gonna start using the EU for not buying his cars
