It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

It's hard to know how many truly kiss his ass vs how many are afraid that if they say anything bad online he'll make some calls and their car will stop working or their repair office will tell them it's not fixable nor under warranty leaving them with an expensive pile of inoperable junk.
Being that he's cancelled preorders of vocal critics and has been caught purposely breaking things for critical accounts before at xitter, it's not actually that far-fetched a fear.
Oh yeah I didn't mean to imply it's irrational, it's just very very funny
There is also a sort of rule with Tesla that if you make negative posts about their cars you get knocked down on the service list. Posts like this are basically service requests because of they get enough traction Musk will see and be might pay them to take it down.
That fucking thing dead ass LOOKS like original fucking PlayStation graphics in real life. Like dead ass.
I've never seen a video of it and I'm laughing imagining that it has vertex jitter irl
I've seen a couple IRL and it looks so fucking stupid
Benefit of being a global southener is not seeing this shit when you go outside
The car literally tried to kill him and his family, yet he still grovels like a dog to worship Elon.
What level of delusion is this?
Friendly reminder that these things cost near 100 thousand dollars and anybody who bought one is the enemy of your class.
Lmao it looks like an ugly van.
Why would anyone be caught dead driving that
I think being caught dead in it is the only thing it's good for.
The ugly van is literally safer to drive/ride in.
One of Tesla's "innovations" on the cybertruck is doing away with all the "messy" individual wiring harnesses and running a single one throughout the car which daisy chains into the individual components.
Which is why we're gonna start seeing a lot more of these catastrophic failures soon.
So if something happens to this wire is everything fucked?
Yep. This is similar to the way ring circuits work, and those were done for the exact same reason: saving on copper. I lived in a building where all the light switches and outlets were inexplicably wired in series, and it was super fun how any time anything went wrong there would just be no power til maintenance came and fixed it.
Or any component along the daisy chain.
Had a similar issue with an old Passat where the head unit was wired inline with the dome lights and when the bulb burnt out the radio stopped.
Was probably a homegamer job though
capitalism is when no redundancy
I wouldn't even daisy chain my pedalboard together. What a bunch of shit for brains.

I absolutely love your car Mr. Musk apart from the fact that everything about it sucks big time.
I love car Musk man, but car suck.... pretty pretty pretty not good. Why use many word when few do trick?
Why are people still giving Tesla money?
What a godamn cult.
Because the US banned Chinese EV imports
god imagine if Elon had to compete with ten different EV models that got similar performance at one third the price.

So many people are wired directly into the propaganda. Their feeds are directly in the stream and they literally have no idea that Teslas suck, or any number of other things that we find pretty self evident
I have an acquaintance who bought a Tesla (not the truck) and has done nothing but complain about how shitty the build quality is and how cheap the interior feels. Instead of realizing that he got scammed, he's just decided that he must not have gotten an expensive enough model, and is looking to drop $75,000 or so on the next model up. It's nuts.
It really is wild how the design philosophy of American production is "build cheap bullshit and then charge more money so people assume it's higher quality than it is"

I have to investigate further but I might follow this guy. It's possible that he's a bit made real.
Buying prototypes for 100k might be a bit risky.
Production car.
Another big Tesla stan and YouTuber took his on a roughly 1200mile road trip.
The range in the real world was so bad it barely got over 100miles before needed to recharge, Tesla also hasn't realised/dealt with the fact that the charging cables on a lot of the Tesla supercharger network aren't long enough to really reach the CyberTruck charging port because of its shit location, and the infotainment screen (which does basically everything) broke twice for hours at a time going black and unresponsive.
Despite that he still loves it.
What would have to happen for him to dislike..?
If a Tesla commercial featured a PoC or a trans person.
All of the reviews for this POS mentioned how the steering wheel wasn't actually connected to the steering, it all runs through the buggy ass computer instead, and literally all of them tried to spin it as a positive by saying "it's just like how modern airplanes work!"
The timing of "it's how airplanes work and nobody complains about them" perfectly coinciding with it coming to light that all the planes we build are total pieces of shit was pretty funny.
"It's just like an airplane, it's doors are barely bolted on and everything"

hopefully diy people get some cheap batteries out of it

But other than that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?
Can't even talk about how shitty it is without talking about how great it is. "This curse is so good you guys"
All the serfs are just jealous of us villeins who are important enough to be cursed by witches.
Saw a bizarre interaction between two Tesla drivers.
I was a passenger in a Tesla, and we were waiting at a red light. Another Tesla pulled up on my side. The driver of the Tesla I was in rolled down the window on my side and leaned over, and the other Tesla driver rolled down his window and they both started talking about each other’s Teslas. Asking shit like “Is that the Model X?” “Oh no it’s the Model Shit v5”
Afterwards they drove off their own way.
These were complete strangers.

He's scared that if he says it isn't good he'll have another "catastrophe failure" while driving

Why can't these freaks just buy a normal car like everyone else?
protectionism prevents reasonable chinese EVs from entering the american market
That's not why. It's because they're Elon simps. They wouldn't be caught dead in a Chinese car.
How does the steering and brakes of a brand new car simultaneously catastrophically fail? I know that Tesla is run by imbeciles but I still don't understand how that could happen
