frothingfash Still love the truckkk

Drury believes Cybertruck buyers are people “who think, ‘I don’t care if I kill people when I drive this thing down the street,’” he says. “There aren’t many of those people out there, so there’s a relatively small market for the Cybertruck.”

how are 9% of vehicles worse than the one that disintegrates if it rains?

Probably all the touchscreen interfaces so you can't operate any accessories by feel / motor memory.

Or the half baked "driver aids" that can't interpret the real world and try to fight the driver to crash into the barriers along the sides of roads.

Apparently a bunch of this driver assistance bullshit is required by EU legislation even though there doesn't seem to be any properly defined standards. So they have to put this stuff in to sell in those markets, even if their implementation is worse than not having it. Very silly stuff.

It's probably like a Flintstone car you push with your feet, a dog with the wheelie carriage thing for its hind legs, and a gallon of gas found with the word "car" on the side

The toy cozy coupe that toddlers push with their feet is probably in the 91%

That sounds way safer than a cybertruck and only fractionally less ethical with the Turnspit dog powertrain. (or are you talkin bout them doggy wheelchairs?)

The doggy wheelchairs, I have no idea what that other thing is

Cool how this is even allowed on the road. But we live in libertarian hell in the United SSSnakes of Americon.

What if you designed and marketed a car specifically for the kind of guy that regularly fantasizes about running over protesters?

I saw some shit while scrolling yesterday that had a bunch of cars with those on them. What are they called and what are they for? Just "fuck you stay away" inserts?

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 2 points 13 hours ago

I wonder if you could javelin-throw a piece of rebar into that while it's spinning and get it all fucked up
