Nobody Wants a Nazi Electric Car

nobody wants a defective car.
They've probably had more recalls on the cyber truck than they've had sales of the cyber truck

Confusing title. How can a car be a Nazi?

Maybe it’s time to get better at researching companies before major decisions. Do you have a system in place for doing background research on future large purchases?
That shame is no use unless it helps you update your behavior. Shame about a “one-off” decision in the past will continue to nag you until you figure out how to avoid the same mistake in the future.
So how can you avoid realizing ten years out that some big purchase you made supported someone you disagree with? How can you do it in advance?
Don't be a dick. No one's going around investigating the corporate culture of every parent corporation that they buy their product from because they'd be at it all damn day.
Did you even watch The Good Place that the whole point of the show you can't be a "good" person based on absolute morals, because it's impossible in the 21st century as the world is too complicated.

If Rivian had a more affordable option they’d be eating Teslas lunch right now. R2 coming next year.
Rivian don't sell vehicles outside the US though so they're always going to be on the back burner internationally. Plus of course, most of the world don't want a pick up truck style vehicle in any case.

Let me be more specific.
I think he will be kicked out of DOGE because of all the controversy and Trump's own distaste for him. That between this and firing so many people who voted for Trump, Elon will become Persona Non Grata to the Right, pivot to the Left searching for some group willing to give him attention....
And in doing so, he will finally come out as trans... and be mercilessly mocked by the Right over it.
He will never find a group that accepts him (well her at this point), because we'll still remember all the horrible things she did.
And sort of find herself in the same kind of limbo Caitlyn Jenner is in where Nazis hate her because she's trans, and Non-Nazis hate her because she's transphobic.
This is how I'm convinced Elon's story will end. Just how I feel like this is going down.
Trump hired him in the first place so I don't think he's going to get kicked out because of Trump's distaste. Trump doesn't care about people he only cares about himself and Elon is useful to him.
If he gets kicked out it'll be because he became a risk to Trump probably because he tried to take Trump on.
-
I guarantee that in a few months, mark my words, he will not be in Doge anymore, he will pivot to the Left, and SHE will come out as trans.
I would almost willingly put money on this.
Are we writing fan fiction for the government now?
I like how it follows the tradition of all fan fiction in being totally inconsistent with established personality traits.

It’s close to 50% drop in Europe. The EU has 500 million people. They may not know it yet but Tesla is on hospice care.
Plus of course if the US ever does impose import fees on Europe the obvious response would be to impose import fees on Tesla's. It's a luxury item so the general public probably won't hugely care, and it will hit the only person really to blame for all of this without unnecessarily targeting other US businesses. You know, how import fees are supposed to be used
-
To your list add that new Tesla sales are also competing against an increasing number of Tesla owners who now want to divest themselves of the brand.
More used Teslas on the market will only push down the market rates and thus profits of new Teslas even further.
Plus of course people are more likely to be trying to buy used cars (of any brand) or not buying any cars at all given the current economic situation. Which of course is also elon's fault, at least partly.
-
I've seen an increase in new Teslas where I live, not a decrease.
Yeah but that's the logic that the climate change denies also used.

Are you criticizing Musk or our government?
Why not both?

The full self-driving promise was always a matter of interpretation
There's nothing to interpret. It does not fully drive itself.
Not safely anyway.
Fortunately for him, and unfortunately for us, he undoubtedly has full control over whichever department defines the word "safely".

For the Americans that don't know the word Nazism: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazism?wprov=sfla1
Although he has right-wing ideologies, there is no evidence of Elon Musk being a Nazi. A car can't be a Nazi either.
I'm tired of all of the populism and strong headlines on Lemmy. Actual factual journalism gets burried deep in the feed.

If you took a handgun from a Nazi, wouldn't that be a Nazi handgun?
I didn't think they are saying the car chose to be a Nazi

No need to get personal. I'm open for a civilized discussion but not this.

When you can predict the behavior of a company 10 years out, you pet me know. I'll make you my banker.
Until then, that whole comment is hot garbage.

I legitimately didn't know about that tweet. Can you share a source? I find a lot of articles but none of them quoting the content in full.
