That photo gave me a some serious Goldeneye 007 on the N64 vibes, its like he unlocked the cheat code to get the golden car to go with the golden gun.
Until now I didnt think it was possible to make that thing look more low-poly.

says he's been cut off in traffic

It's Massachusetts. That their state pass time

been yelled at and given the finger

If everyone you see (Plus, you drive a gold vehicle. Talk about self-absorbed) is an asshole, you might be the asshole

[–] Fandangalo@lemmy.world 85 points 1 week ago (15 children)

Hey, the second state pastime is giving the finger and yelling in traffic. We take these pastimes seriously, like sports and drinking.

Yeah, they couldn't possibly be yelling at him because he sucks at driving.

Jaroje was so worried that he tried to trade in the Cybertruck, but with no luck. He said he received a call and a text from a Tesla representative saying the company can't take the truck back, even after sending them the hateful sticker.

"He confirmed with the text message that Tesla is not accepting Cybertruck trade-ins at this moment," Jaroje said. He hopes the community will set aside judgment and be open to differences.

The vehicles are so bad that even the company that makes them won't buy them.

[–] billiam0202@lemmy.world 107 points 1 week ago (8 children)

More like, they can't sell what they've already got so they aren't gonna take even more stock.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 76 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes, because they're so bad.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 63 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Also because people don't like to support the Nazi billionaire who is actively destroying their country. But the terrible quality control of their overpriced and poorly designed cars doesn't help.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 27 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Those are two different flavors of bad.

"It's not just about what happened to me. It's about everyone in this country. If you disagree, don't retaliate. Don't be violent. Don't try to hurt your neighbor. We're all human,"

I mean, if you believe that, my guy, you shouldn't have bought the nazi truck. You also definitely should not have gotten a fucking gold one. You also ABSOLUTELY shouldn't have driven it around in MASSACHUSETTS. I flip these fucks off when I see them here. I don't agree with physically threatening them, but c'est la vie I guess.

[–] kyotain@lemmy.world 31 points 1 week ago (9 children)

Be careful out there, flipping off other drivers is considered "road rage" in some places and can get you ticketed.

Plus, a thumbs down with a look of disgust is funnier!

[–] MeatPilot@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I throw them one of these looks.

I just love that someone is complaining about people being rude to him in a state with such rude, aggressive drivers that the term 'Masshole' was invented to describe them.

Why is he ok with people that don’t treat others as human, yet expects to be treated as human himself, then?

GOLD Cybertruck…

We're all human

Dude, Tesla's CEO endorsed a racist, misogynistic, transphobic and pauperophobic rapist. He shows up at AfD and FdI rallies.

You're Syrian, once they've rounded up all the poor brown people they'll come for you. After all, a god-fearing, bible-thumping, red-white-and-blue bleeding American could be given your business.

And your taste in cars sucks, by the way.

It sounds like we all agree. Despite all the rightful cybertruck hate and despite the garish gold color, this driver was not even particularly persecuted. He was just living the life of a normal Bostonian (which always includes other drivers cursing at you, cause that's what we do here).

So... This is actually just a non-story. The headline could have been "Ridiculous gold cybertruck exists in Massachusetts, driver treated normally"

Or perhaps,

"Driver of ridiculous gold cyber truck somehow still isn't getting enough attention!"

"That's why I came to this country. I pursued my dream. Now, I'm enjoying the free speech, but with this taking a different turn, that made me very concerned," Jaroje said.

Freedom of speech doesn't mean your free from consequences.

"It's not just about what happened to me. It's about everyone in this country. If you disagree, don't retaliate. Don't be violent. Don't try to hurt your neighbor. We're all human," he said.

He is encouraging a nazi oligarch through the purchase of what is a gross flashy display of his wealth in a time where the wealth gap has never been so wide. You're just asking for it at this point.

"I wish to buy something that tells everyone that I'm richer and better than them."

Later...

"Waaaah! Everyone's being mean to me because I'm telling everyone I'm richer and better than them!"

[–] Snapz@lemmy.world 44 points 1 week ago (2 children)

He thinks his family isn't safe in it... Yet he continues to drive it

You drive a rolling swastika and BLARING sign of historical wealth inequality that you've literally wrapped in gold - you deserve so much more fucking hate culminating in a brief rest of your heavy head that wears the crown on the guillotine. Tone deaf, fucking ghoul.

Buy overpriced ugly truck from an outward Nazi

Cover it in shiny gold wrap to draw even more attention and be obnoxious to anyone who doesn't want to be blinded on the road

Be surprised when people don't like you

????

[–] MrsDoyle@sh.itjust.works 7 points 6 days ago

Do obnoxious stuff for "librul tears".

Cry like a baby when people do obnoxious stuff back.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 33 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (4 children)

Hard to find any sympathy for the guy. A cybertruck costs almost 3 times the amount of comparable electric trucks.

You pay that much extra because you want the hate.

[–] PraiseTheSoup@lemm.ee 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

I hate Elon as much as the next guy but there's no need to spread blatant misinformation.

Cybertruck MSRP: $80-100k

Ford F-150 Lightning MSRP: $50-90k

Chevy Silverado EV MSRP: $55-95k

and that is the majority of your options. Obviously cybertruck isn't near as capable as the other two and it's also an ugly piece of shit, but there's no need to make things up to diss the idiots buying them, they do it themselves.

https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/30/23663618/ford-f-150-lightning-price-hike-original-price

When it was originally released the lightning started at 40k and that's what I was thinking of. Your point about the price today are fine, but there is no need to assume things.

He’s a doctor what kind of doctor lacks the foresight to buy a Cybertruck.

There's only one reason to get a cybertruck, the one thing it is excellent at: grabbing attention.

Mission accomplished buddy.

the Syrian immigrant

Weird that he's driving around a swasticar from a company run by a guy that would probably like to deport him...
