    Buy a ugly vehicle that looks like a third graders drawing to be seen. Now being seen is a liability. Too bad so sad… I’m not sad.

      Insuring it will be an absolute nightmare. The insurance companies dont care if you bought it cheap.

      I’m sure ya could find someone in Louisiana who would buy one, at the very least it’d be fun to shoot at a gun range.

    Bought the car just to get attention and you’re getting the attention. I don’t see the problem. You got exactly what you wanted. It’s a fuck ugly car that’s shit quality. You bought it just because you wanted to be noticed. Well, play dumb games, win dumb prizes.

        More like, idiots destroy our cities and towns with their giant wankpanzers and then they cry like babies when people fight back.

        If you don’t want people to destroy your swatzicar then 1. don’t buy a nazi vehicle and 2. Don’t buy a truck with the highest traffic fatality rate of any vehicle. Your freedom of self expression ends where your choice kills other people

    From a purely legal perspective, I’m curious if the contract would hold up in court, considering there is a concerted campaign of vandalism against the cars.

    Elmo was visibly A Problem well before launching this drug-fueled mockery of engineering. It sounds silly for like five minutes after learning about it. Then you see one in person and it’s just… eugh. Who buys this shit? Who buys this shit in spite of the aggressively public figurehead being a fucking Nazi?

      Yup. I have pity for owners of Tesla from pre-2018. There were some pretty problematic things before that, but that year, with his violations of SEC orders to not do security fraud, and his heavy projection onto that hero who saved the kids in the cave, is the last time they could have any benefit of the doubt.

    This is actually a friend’s car. I haven’t commented on her post because it would be something like “I’m surprised my (model 3) hasn’t been vandalized but I wouldn’t blame the person who did it”.

      I recently saw a model 3 with a bumper sticker that said “I bought this before Elon went crazy”

      Might be worth the investment in the coming months lol.

        I bought this before Elon went crazy

        I wonder how many people actually mean that, and how many people use it to protect their nazimobile from damage. Because he went openly crazy 7 years ago this year as far as I’m concerned. This isn’t just a “since he owned Twitter” thing.

          He started his descent but most people weren’t aware. Nobody isn’t aware now, and anyone that still defends him would rather complain about snowflakes than put that bumper sticker on their car.

            Yeah, I knew something was wrong with Musk after the Thailand diver incident, but I didn’t know that Musk was a completely evil Nazi pos until he got involved in the 2024 election

          Google search results on election night showed that hundreds of thousands of Americans didn’t know that Biden had dropped out of the election until they went to vote.

          People are not nearly as informed as you think they are.

    Sorry, no sympathy. I have some sympathy for the Tesla owners who bought theirs years ago before Musk went completely mask off. But Musk has been an overt Nazi since the first cybertruck was released. Do you know what you call an Apartheid baby that platforms and massively promotes Nazis in the name of “free speech” while censoring other voices (see ‘cis’ as a slur). You call them a Nazi. Musk has been dealing in overt racism, malignant transphobia, and eugenics for years now. If you simply didn’t care about this, and still gave that many $100k of your money? I’m sorry, but you just gave $100k to a man you knew was a Nazi. You’re a literal Nazi sympathizer. Or, at best, you’re a person who cares so little about fighting Nazis that you will willingly give the nation’s most prominent Nazi a hundred grand.

    So yes, it is absolutely is fair to judge people who bought a cybertruck. They’re Nazi sympathizers. I don’t know if I would personally engage in such vandalism. But if I was on a jury with such a case before me, I would certainly be practicing jury nullification. Some paint or flat tires is a fraction of what a car like that deserves. That thing should be burned to ashes. That is what should really be done to Nazi symbols like the cybertruck. Here in 2025, if you are driving a cybertruck. There is no way for you to have that vehicle without having every chance in the world to see buying it directly supports Nazis. Every cybertruck is already a rolling swastika.

      I’m doing research on stainless steel art - what would you say is the most effective house appliance for staining it? Particularly the same stainless steel the swasticar is using.

        Muriatic acid will etch and corrode stainless quite effectively.

        You should wear gloves and glasses when messing with the stuff. Don’t breathe the fumes, they’re chlorine.

        I would think that a small paintbrush with the acid in a plastic cup would work well for any slogans you might wish to write on sheets of stainless.

      Your brain is already full of lead and plastic if you could have such a unbelievably ignorant position, so please see a doctor and get help.

    Easy fix, get four signs and hang them in the windows on each side. Have it say "Elon Sux - I hate nazis - ~please don’t vandalize my car~ "
