Nobody Wants a Nazi Electric Car

Wave like that at work in front of HR.

Then you probably shouldn't waste so much of other people's time by claiming something didn't happen if you haven't even bothered to fucking check.

I’ve seen the video of him WAVING
try "waving" like that in Germany and see where that gets you

I would too, but you have to understand why the USA is blocking these cars from coming in. The cost of these cheap EVs are not based off of supply and demand. Its not even this cheap because of effectiveness or efficiencies. Its from the CCP subsidies. The CCP wants to dump on the competition in efforts to kill off anyone making a car, then start jacking up the price after they have market share.
So capitalism.

We don't want that evil capitalism here in the US. No sir.

Do you call this full blown nazi salute a wave? The only relation to a wave, is the 2008 German movie Die Welle, for obvious reasons.

Nope. Tesla Model 3 Ranked Last In German TUV Reliability Report

Those numbers are very misleading, as it includes rust on the brakes.
EVs don't use their brakes as often due to regen, and vehicles with one pedal driving where you can come to a complete stop without using the brakes, use it even less.
A large portion of these failures are from some rust appearing from lack of using the brakes. Using the brakes would clear the rust, but it's a fail if it's there when you take it in.
That's not to say there aren't other problems, but it's not as bad as the 14.7% makes it look.

I don’t think this is true.
Yeah, it's why I added a question mark.
I've had one friend say because it's electronic that only Tesla can fix certain things? Maybe I misunderstood maybe they meant that because it's under warranty where the dealership should be fixing it.
Tesla doesn't do a lot of the body work or glass type of things, but if you need a new computer, heat pump or anything like that, it's going to be with Tesla, and especially anything around the battery/power train.
They could open up a lot of that to 3rd parties, but they keep it in house.

I'm also pretty sure their security / safety standards are pure ass. I barely trust our automakers, I sure as shit don't trust the fucking CCP

State capitalism, but yes.

Potential ketamine addiction aside, he's just gravitated toward where he sees more money and unfluence for himself. He wanted the prestige of being a leader in tech, so he used his influence and money to build SpaceX. Then he bullied his way into the ownership of Tesla, desperately wanting to appear as a genius to libertarian and liberal minds alike, but he's never been any less of an authoritarian. When Trump rose to power the first time, he sat and watched and along with the rest of the Silicon Valley Moguls, he began to move himself into positions of influence with populist politicians, borrowing the evangelical right's playbooks and throwing himself into the spotlight no matter the reason. He pivoted off his falsified image as some kind of American self-starter into MAGA rhetoric.
Musk doesn't have lofty ideals or any real focus on the betterment of society. I don't think he ever did. He just wanted to be a real life Tony Stark and command the influence that came with it. Now he doesn't need to, because he's got Trump in his back pocket and is mostly untouchable by any normal means.
He has single handedly ruined the reputation of ketamine... Despite being pretty tolerable at the right dosage (doctors literally give it to children for surgery). Kind of a bummer.
However, long term (or even like medium term) ketamine abuse can completely fuck your bladder up. I hope he starts pissing blood and it feels like passing a kidney stone every time.
That's in addition to what that kind of continuous dissociation will do to the way a person thinks and behaves.

Yes, we get to prioritize USA industries vs China's. I'm down for that.

I live in Taiwan and we call those China made cars tofu cars. Their domestic cars are terrible. So many of them are going out of business because the the CCP lowered down the subsidies.
I won't be caught dead in one.

We all know what’s going to happen, Elon just going to get a “government contract”, where he can make it so that teslas will be the main vehicle manufacturer for government.

Teslas are actually pretty good from what I've seen.
There is a Tesla New Buyers delivery checklist you can find online that was written by a group of Tesla enthusiasts. Just a few years ago one of the items on the checklist was “Make sure you can put the car in Park (and that it stays parked)”. (Ref: https://driveteslacanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Tesla-Model-3-Delivery-Checklist.pdf).
I’m not away of any other car where this was something people had to check before delivery — apparently it was a bit of a common problem for a time. That seems absolutely crazy to me, and a major failure of QA as it poses a significant safety hazard.

Breaks are kinda important.

Sure, but a little rust because they weren't used isn't a problem, comes off when you use them, but is an instant fail. The brakes are not damaged or broken.
All brakes rust when not used. If you drove around in the rain today, then didn't drive for a few days, you'll probably have a little rust on your brakes. You go for a drive and then it's gone.
If you take your car in for a pre-inspection report, and they see some rust on the brakes, they will tell you to drive it around a bit using the brakes a lot before taking it in to be inspected.
it's not an actual problem.

Ironically, the EV’s suck and are for commies crowd are now lauding Tesla as the best vehicle on the market
Musk aside, Tesla cars have always been pretty shoddy

I would like a Chinese EV, but the capitalists are enforcing protectionism.
You can fellate Winnie the Pooh on your own time.
