      I mean, the model 3 and Y would be great cars if it weren’t for Elon. Tesla, SpaceX, and the whole world would be much better off without him.

      Edit: also I’m not talking about FSD, I think it’s bullshit and will continue to be bullshit for the foreseeable future. I like to drive my car.

        Have you seen the Xiaomi SU7? Cheaper, faster, arguably much better looking…

          I live in the US and they’re not available. Also I’m reluctant to buy anything with cameras and an internet connection from China as long as the CCP is in charge.

        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.

      VW means people’s car. Making nice cars is a socialism, apparently.

        VW means people’s car.

        That’s not wrong, but Volk is more nuanced than that. Think somewhere between folk and ethnicity, so it’s still fascist.

            No, it’s definitely not a comprehensive definition, I was going for the meaning in context of VW. The correct response to pedantry is pedantry, though :)

            In German spoken since the nazis used it as a propaganda term it has taken on a different connotation. The denotation of “Volk” may be “people” in some senses, but “Menschen” fits much better for most uses of people. “A people” is “ein Volk,” but “people” is most commonly used as the plural of “person,” which would be “Mensch.” “Volk” has an ethnic connotation, which the singular meaning of “people” has, but the plural does not.

    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.

        Better, I’d imagine.

        “Oh, here comes a hakencruiser…”

        “A hack and what?”

        Versus “look at that fucking wankpanzer. Fucking wanker.” Can’t go much simpler than that.

      Oh man on the paint? That’s just rude.

      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.
