Compromise, buy the tesla but destroy it so no one can drive it

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 18 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Like most of them could afford a Tesla.

Cash advance services see 800% profit with this one weird trick!

One weird truck*

How long before Tesla's next car has a combustion engine?

[–] Petter1@lemm.ee 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Maybe they will run on trumps “clean coal” lol

They could exclusively charge at those superchargers directly powered by fossil fuels https://www.sfgate.com/centralcoast/article/tesla-interstate-5-supercharger-power-plant-18343119.php

I was wondering about this earlier today. How to they reconcile "Elon is God" with "Electrification goes against my fReEdOm"?!

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 months ago

Easy. You are allowed to drive an electric vehicle as long as you drink two full cups of leaded gasoline a day.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 months ago

Where do electric cars fit into "drill baby drill"?

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I think they should go for it and buy the 21st century Pinto. No one, not a soul, is laughing at them. I swear.

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

Hey now, the Pinto at least had to be in an accident first before it would blow up.

The ultimate irony would be for them to start buying up EV. Now if there's any way to get them to think they're pissing off the libs by enacting reasonable environmental, gun, and LGBTQ/women's rights we'd be on a roll.

Judging by the effects of the market on Tesla stock, I really don't think this is the struggle that the meme suggests it is.

Making choices in the "free market" of capitalism:

  • A car that will destroy your health, community, planet, etc.
  • A fascist car that will destroy your health, community, the planet slightly slower, etc.

Remember: Without a car you will live in poverty and isolation at best.

Its always good to note that roadways and parking- like trains, electricity, sewers, drinking water- are a public design choice made by politicians and are choices with consequences that affect everyone.

Third option: Blame Soros or Biden

They do not have to be Registered Nurses.

[–] DrunkEngineer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Thanks to pollution credits, Elon gets paid regardless of whether they choose to drive an EV.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 1 points 2 months ago

Buy a Cybertruck; convert it to an ICE vehicle.

Leftists be like

Click both, get a hybrid

spoilerPeople on the internet who obsess with left-right politics are a psyop, including maga grifters who think discourse about the environment is a lib-thing.

[–] Petter1@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

😆 I think most people here didn’t get the joke

I think it is a good one
