Good. Fuck that fascist and his companies. The only sad part of this story is that they used paint and not something that would etch or scratch the stainless.
The truck is not really washable. They will absolutely fuck it up cleaning that out. It can’t even resist rain.
You’re suppose to use gasoline or kerosene to clean stainless steel cars. At least the Deloreans came with instructions on how to do it. Not sure if Tesla saw fit to mention that.
If I was a good capitalist, I would release a line of spray paints containing a concentrated, strong acid so they would corrode the metal, leaving a mark after the paint was removed. Call it something stupid like “Muskoleum,” “RustEloneum,” or “Cybertruck Repair Spray”," but preferably something catchier.
I forgot how cancerous this site was. This place is such an echo chamber that the users are actually defending crimes
“In an unjust society the only place for a just man is prison.”
Where exactly is the justice here?
In prison.
Justice for what? Tagging scrap metal?
Just the other day I threw a brick into a car window that had a Z sticker on it. Sue me.
the real crime here is this death trap being allowed on the road in the first place.
It must be, you keep making comments on it.
@Gorilladrums21 @return2ozma legality does not define morality.
Where is the morality in damaging people’s property that they worked to get with their hard earned money?
Where is the morality in a 56 bil pay package when you have done more damage to the reputation of said company while fucking over the workers of said company.
@Gorilladrums21 They weren’t delivered yet, they are Tesla property.
Protests are only effective if they are disruptive.
Protesting what exactly? Protesting for the sake of protesting is just meaningless. I still fail to see the morality here. What exactly is moral about vandalizing these cars?
Also this notion that protests are only effective if they’re disruptive is a myth. If that was the case then the George Floyd Riots would’ve led somewhere or the pro Palestinian encampments would’ve led somewhere or all those climate protesters damaging historical monuments and art would’ve led somewhere or all those animal rights activists blocking streets would’ve led somewhere… but they haven’t. All they’ve done is lead people to resent them.
Protesting what exactly?
Protesting monster trucks becoming the default go-to vehicle to go run an errand or drive to work. You don’t need a “child-destroyer-3000: now Electric!” taking 3 lanes of width, weighing 20 tonnes, and occupying 4 parking spots, to go to your bakery or pick up the kids from school.
What exactly is moral about vandalizing these cars?
If certain vehicles end up costing more to manufacture/protect/repaint than the revenue upon sale, the company will stop manufacturing them. Same idea as deflating SUV wheels which are parked on the street: make lives for SUV drivers inconvenient so people won’t want an SUV.
Also this notion that protests are only effective if they’re disruptive is a myth. If that was the case then the George Floyd Riots would’ve led somewhere or the pro Palestinian encampments would’ve led somewhere or all those climate protesters damaging historical monuments and art would’ve led somewhere or all those animal rights activists blocking streets would’ve led somewhere… but they haven’t. All they’ve done is lead people to resent them.
“What did the resistance to Nazi occupation by the Polish people lead to? It didn’t work, genocide happened anyway, and all they did is making Nazis resent them”.
I’m sure you’re aware that people engage in challenges they don’t know for certain they can achieve, right?
This is why the planet is fucked, you all whine that climate change is scary but then you cheer on people attacking electric cars just because Twitter man bad. You’re all desperate for tesla to fail because Elon upset you, someone doing something petty that’ll have zero effect on Elon but will negatively affect a regular person fills you with joy because it’s a way of hitting back at the bad man. Totally childish and pathetic.
Spend that energy learning about and praising positive things, don’t win by tearing your opponent down win by building yourself up.
Its paint. They can still drive them. Stop being a little baby.
Also, i don’t know about a single nice person that bought this low poly piece of shit.
Ok… I’ll take the bait, can you please share links that show how the Cybertruck is actually good the planet? I didn’t actually read technical review about it. I mostly see silly (and sometimes fun) memes. I also recently read that EV in generals don’t have the same impact as electrical bikes, e.g https://www.theguardian.com/news/ng-interactive/2024/apr/11/evs-are-booming-but-electric-bikes-are-really-cutting-emissions , but maybe I’m misinformed and this vehicle by Tesla, despite its size, it’s actually helping. Can you please share a link to such review and/or studies with e.g Life cycle assessment (LCA) / ISO 14040?
PS: to clarify I don’t mean articles about how it’s “changing mind”, I mean numerical estimations then comparison between one mean of transport, e.g non EV vs EV, or this EV vs other or this EV vs random electric bike.
@VirtualOdour @return2ozma @fuck_cars
The tyre extinguishers are more worth your while to support:
https://tyreextinguishers.com/No matter what cars will be shit for the environment in some way, things like pubic transport, bike infrastructure and more walkable cities are things that actually help
All of the vehicles in the article were pre-delivery. As they were still owned by Tesla, it falls on the company to repair them.
I’m not justifying vandalism, but the impact to the buyer is a delayed delivery vs a monetary and PR impact to Tesla.
Tesla is synonymous with climate destruction and if you believe otherwise demonstrates that you have grossly bought into their propaganda.
You … are aware Tesla isn’t the only EV car company, and is also one of the more expensive ones … right?
Their work sharing battery tech was monumental in starting the market and they’ve continued to really push things forward.
I understand you have an emotional response to a distasteful man but ignoring reality makes you seem totally unserious and frankly absurd.
Right, I’m the one seeing things through a funnel of “emotional response” and ignoring the rest of the EV market because of nostalgia and a sense of devotion …
They missed a trick by using paint, when a spray of salt water would have done the job at one more subtly and more permanently
Spraywatering with salt
while at the same time by-design cloaking it as pure bad quality could actually cause way more longterm damage than a little bit of paint.
on the other hand the paint could also be just a marketing strategy depending on what they smoked to get new ideas
Subtle wasn’t the intent here. But I do like your thought process here.
tesla is not elon
But they pay him tens on millions as a bonus for being an idiot
Billions. They paid him the same amount of money (as a bonus!) as Bill Gates had in total when he was the worlds richest person in 2007.
Tens of millions is drastically understating tens of billions.
The difference is literally tens of billions.
Calling him a “cocksucker” is frankly insulting to people who perform the act of sucking cock. Musk is way too selfish to perform the generous and loving act that is fellatio.
after paying him tens of millions, they did it again a thousand more times because thousands of tens of millions is billions. tens of thousands of millions of dollars. It’s an insane amount of money.
…tens of
millionsbillions…FTFY
Thats actually a better name for them than cybertruck. The Fuckelon
F.Elon.
Without justifying this really dumb act, because there’s no justifying it, […]
How about we just don’t vandalize private property. That’s a good standpoint to build on.Wow, how unbased can an article get?
Why bother trying to make something uglier that is already maximum ugly?
Made them more valuable.
This is dumb. Sure Elon Musk is a dickhead. And sure Cybertruck is a dumb vehicle that only dickheads would want to have.
But I’d rather the dickheads be driving a Cybertruck than some other massive vehicle that runs on fossil fuels.
@SpaceCowboy @return2ozma ~60% of Tesla’s profits come from the sale of carbon credits, which enable other massive vehicles that run on fossil fuels to be built. E-cars are not about “saving the planet” they are pure Greenwash which is saving the motor industry.
That’s more of a problem with how carbon credits are being regulated. Sure Tesla are being assholes for doing this, but it’s a corporation, I don’t expect them to be good guys.
But none of that changes the fact that some meathead buying a Cybertruck instead of the equivalent fossil fuel monstrosity is reducing CO2 emissions in a direct way. Spray paint the sign a Tesla corporate HQ, don’t damage a vehicle which will only have the result of someone driving a fossil fuel vehicle a little longer while the damage is being fixed.
If somehow murder became not illegal, it wouldn’t make all the corpses not murderer’s problem.
Literally the state of California would have lower CO2 emissions today if Tesla didn’t exist.
You’re assuming unscrupulous companies wouldn’t find another loophole or just pay a fine for going over the limit.
Don’t get me wrong, Tesla is shit for helping with the loophole, but it’s a degrees of bad kind of thing. Getting fossil fuel vehicles off the road does reduce carbon emissions, but Tesla was exaggerating their numbers. They should be punished for doing this, but doubling up their numbers only works if the number isn’t zero.
But this is all getting away from the fact that damaging these vehicles has the net effect of people driving fossil fuel vehicles longer. It’s a net harm to everyone.
All car companies are run by evil dickheads. Most of them just make less noise than Elon.
I bet a lot have worse opinions too, they literally conspired with oil companies to avoid fixing climate change and certain companies like vw actively put in measures to cheat emissions tests.
If you think spacex and starlink are making the environment a better place, I think you might be in for a surprise.
@Peppycito @VirtualOdour OK, so you either haven’t heard about how Starlink Could Pose New Threat to the Ozone Layer https://www.sciencealert.com/satellites-like-starlink-could-pose-new-threat-to-our-healing-ozone-layer or you believe that Unicorns are real. Which is it? Nothing the Mellon Husk does is making the “environment a better place”
You misinterpreted my comment
big fucking cap
Tesla is synonymous with climate destruction and if you believe otherwise demonstrates that you have grossly bought into their propaganda.
All private cars, regardless of the fuel source, are climate disasters.
Giant metal boxes with 1.2 people on average
They should have aimed at the non-stainless steel portion. Pretty sure you could wipe this up easy with some acetone or gasoline as a solvent.
“Yes Mr. Crowler we hear what you’re saying, but unfortunately spray paint voids your warranty.”
Don’t worry, for others they say turning it on voids warranty
@return2ozma Older Tesla’s one can give the owner the benefit of the doubt that they purchased it before Elon showed his true colours. No Cybertruck owner has that defence.
They are lucky it’s just paint.
I’m sure paint comes off ‘stainless’ steel real easy…
Vandalised? More like improved.
“It makes no sense to vandalize Tesla’s property because you dislike Elon”
Bahhahaahha. Bet.
It also makes no sense that Elon isn’t in prison but here we are.
For what?
Stock Market manipulation
If that actually bothered you then Elon is lost in a huge list, it’s painfully obvious you’re reaching at straws to justify your emotions rather than forming emotions based on an honest appraise of reality
He is in line. Very long line. Veeeeery looooong. Longer than longcat.
F_Elon is probably is future username
That’s an idea 🤔
