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

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.

[beattakeshi@lemmy.world]

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

I had a Mazda Pricidia (MX-3) for a few years before I bought the Ranger. Thing was great. I had the rear seat pulled out and got a joiner pal build a custom wooden bed to put in. Did double duty, was enough to hold a week's worth of veneer stone and thinset plus my tools. Built-in storage boxes under the top. And with the front seats folded all the way forward there was an extra piece I could drop in, and all of a sudden you've got enough space for a double size inflatable camping mattress. I miss that thing.

[pyrflie@lemm.ee]

Why would they, Telas are lemons.

[klnsfw@lemmynsfw.com]

At this point, they became homonyms. Nothing more.

[professorozone@lemmy.world]

Tru dat.

[regrettable_incident@lemmy.world]

Yeah that sounds like a pretty decent solution. I know someone who did something similar to a Volvo estate. Bit crazy though that we've got to modify old vehicles to get a suitable work motor - seems like a gap in the market. VW made some sensible size pickups back in the 80s - but like the jumbuck they are old now. I hate to say it, but you might do better with a transit or sprinter. It's enclosed space but you've got room for tools n stuff.

Workers are desperate for a union if anything they're the good guys too

[sturgist@lemmy.ca]

Yeah, too many people look at a truck and say to themselves: I think that'd do to take the kid to football practice and myself to the office!

They're just not making trucks for working anymore, and I personally am pissed!
I suppose I really should think about getting a small/medium sized van.... just irks me a bit. I guess growing up the only tradies using a van were painters, plasterers and glaziers. And folk with real jobs had trucks....
