It also fixes many of the issues with the cyber truck. That one has paint, it hasn't got the stupid unified headlight, which isn't legal in most parts of the world, and it's a more traditional shape which means it would be easier to manufacture.
Until self-driving tech is good enough that you can safely not have a human behind the wheel it isn't really anything other than a toy.
As soon as you can remove humans from the equation you can have automated trucks, without even the capacity for a human driver, that's where the real future is, not in owned vehicles that will always have, by definition, a driver in them anyway.
Fair. I’ll stop calling Swastikars Swastikars, or was it Swasticars? I think it’s Swastikars.
Anyway, someone cooked up the word Hakencruisers and I really loved it.
Ugh.. please reconsider. Many of us bought model 3/Ys years ago because they were a viable option to ditch gas vehicles. It’s bad enough that I’m stuck with this car for a while longer, I really don’t need it getting vandalized making people think I’m a fucking fascist.
It's so nice of elongated Muskrat and the orange Pumpkin to be the first of their kind, to publically display Swasticars in such bold fashion - in recent times
On a cyber truck or late model year...sure. But the ones that bought new before it was obvious how much of a shitheel Musk is...back when the Tesla stood apart as the electric car? Leave those guys alone. Or at least just inconvenience them by putting it on glass.
The Nazis didn't use the 'Swastika' per se, they used a specific type of swastika called the hooked cross or hakenkreuz. Calling the Nazi cross a swastika brings confusion and disrespects many cultures where the symbol has a meaning diametrically opposite to that of nazi ideology.
However, the mental link of the name "Swastika" with the Nazis has had 90 years of reinforcement in popular culture.
If you want to perpetuate a meme that annoys Elon and damages the Tesla brand (because I think they still spend $0 on marketing) then:
"Swasticars" is a very good phrase because it's a portmanteau and everyone (in WEIRD nations) can work it out, have a little giggle, and then spread it as a meme.
Explaining that it's technically incorrect by going "well actually... (Pushes glasses up)" is not going to help spread the meme and is just being a bit pedantic.
I've been practicing dharmic religion for many years. Swastikas are used pretty heavily in dharmic spirituality to represent wisdom, or divinity, or the sun. I understand and have even used the symbol for its intended meaning.
The symbol the Nazis used is a swastika. It's okay and correct to call it one.
What are you talking about? Ford has better battery chemistry, Chevy has better interiors, Rivian makes a better truck, and those are just American brands.
Took Ford 4 years of production to swap to heat pump, Chevy's tech is completely laughable it would be a 500% improvement if they just removed the screen, and did carplay only
There's loads of electric vehicles on the market in the US with similar tech to the Tesla. What tech do you want anyway, the most useful thing that Tesla has a reverse charging which is not at all unique.
