This website is satire and best viewed with a healthy dose of skepticism and a strong sense of humor.

what a disappointment

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 13 points 3 months ago

I'm sure they will get their fair share of people taking it seriously, even though it's satire

They should just put 😉 at the end

You just know a dealership is going to get caught setting it's own Teslas on fire. That is going to be the free space on many 2025 Bingo cards.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 9 points 3 months ago

It's actually just a convenient software update.

Download the update, start the engine, and run away

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 43 points 3 months ago (1 children)

This is the only good use of a Tesla now, IMO. Get it fully insured, then go park it in a dark alley near a popular area. It'll get torched before too long. No fraud involved with setting your own car on fire....

Then use the money to buy something that's not made by a Nazi.

Nice idea, but Teslas are jampacked with cameras.

[–] AbnormalHumanBeing@lemmy.abnormalbeings.space 40 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Teslas are jampacked with cameras.

Which will show a masked figure of weirdly indeterminate height (possible wearing hidden plateau shoes) setting fire to it in the middle of the night, how curious 🤔

I wonder what fire does to the SD card on which the camera footage is stored?

(Its only uploaded to tesla servers when the car is connected to the internet)

[–] wander1236@sh.itjust.works 22 points 3 months ago (5 children)

Are you able to disconnect a Tesla from the Internet? You could forget your Wi-Fi network, but basically every car made after 2015 has an LTE modem

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 22 points 3 months ago (1 children)

be a shame if it caught fire while you were camping in a remote location with no cell service

They're always connected via cell service, though.

That said, I'm pretty sure the antenna is stored in the right-side mirror, so if something were to happen, like that mirror becoming suddenly disconnected from the body of the car, it might disrupt that connection.

Man a shitty lining to this cloud is the kids that had to mine the lithium for the batteries into useless cars.

[–] bacondragonoverlord@feddit.org 19 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I think you're thinking of Cobalt? Lithium mainly is mined in big industrial facilities in Australia and Chile. Not like cobalt wich was in the news for being mined by hand, including with children.

However "new" Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) batteries go without cobalt and other rare earth materials (not actually rare btw). Most electric cars use these batteries nowadays including many Teslas.

Probably not the place, but Hyundai and Kia are both making some sharp looking cars right now.

[–] casmael@lemm.ee 9 points 3 months ago

Yeah the ioniq looks really nice, probs what I’d get if I was looking for something around the 60k range or whatever

Buying a Hyundai of all choices after a tesla is doubling down on shitty car choices

[–] drhodl@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

I retired during Covid, but until then I drove mercedes. When I needed a new car, the new Merc dealer wouldn't even let me onto the lot, telling me he couldn't get a car for me for 12 months. Turned out, the only new car I could get immediately, was a Kia Sportage, and that was only because someone failed a finance application. That car was actually awesome, never a single problem, but I decided I didn't like all the screens because always fingerprints, so I sold that and bought a Hyundai because I had already gone through the tech learning curve (Kia and Hyundai are the same). That too, has been trouble free all the time I've had it, and I'm about to trade to another Hyundai. Converesely, here in Australia, I hear about Honda's being crap. I think Korean cars, actually made in Korea, are actually great cars. You Americans mostly get models made locally, which to me sounds like the problem. What you are saying, is American made is shitty.

If they rely on insurance to not fuck them over, I wish them good luck. Because boy, do insurances have the capacity and willingness to fuck people over

“Sir/madam, (sadam) your conviction slowly steeling and your hands steadying themselves before you finally threw the bottle was heartening, but why did you come directly out of your own house to do it? Claim rejected.”

Eventually one of you’s is gonna try it, but forget a detail or two.

I have owned only three brands of cars with a total of four different engines. And next to my Toyotas, my one Hyundai was incredibly reliable. Made it to 300k before I gave it away to my cousin. And the only time it ever left my in a jam was a Walmart parking lot when the starter burnt out. I walked across the street, bought a new one, and with the help of a YouTube video & $10 worth of tools from that very Walmart, shit was done. I highly recommend an old sonata to any one hard up, and in need for something reliable. Mine actually had heated seats! Easily the best $700 I've ever spent! I could rant about that car for ever.

I've heard insurance companies in the Un-united Dystopia of america have stopped insuring them

Do NOT set your own car on fire. They will notice every marker pointing at you! Instead, incompetently park in a visible area that is poorly lit at night, perhaps a Trump sticker. Maybe an anti-trans or pro racism sticker! Really REALLY scummy stuff. Get a custom plate that says ''YBMC'' or something else horrid. Really egg them on. What you really want is a total stranger you have never interacted with. Police fail to identify 90% of crimes that don't have a personal motivation to known victim and perpitraitor.

Sure, but that's kind of every car manufacturer right now. If you let that limit your choice, you won't be buying anything. Depending on where you live, maybe that's better.

[–] punksnotdead@slrpnk.net 7 points 3 months ago (12 children)

Then don't buy anything.

If you want to stop shit behaviour you need to provide consequences.

Buy a used car instead, there's plenty of them.

When the new car market falls apart these manufacturers will change their ways.

But because people are unwilling to part with even the tiniest bit of convenience, prestige, whatever the fuck it is, I wish I knew, then the bad behaviour is encouraged and then you're left in a situation where the market sees there's no consequences for adding this shit to their products and they all do it.

Then everybody suffers.

Yeah DO NOT commit insurance fruad. It's a really bad idea. You will get caught. There's about 100 different ways to get caught and you won't figure out half of them, and what's worse is that the money will point REALLY big red arrows at you and if you can't defuse that attention, your doing time.

Fuck hyundai, buy a toyota like someone with a modicum of taste and intelligence.

[–] nyctre@lemmy.world 18 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

I don't think people that decided to buy an electric car will be interested in trading it in for a hybrid. Also, assuming you're in the US, because Hyundai are very good and popular in Europe. (Sorry, just noticed the username. Oh well..)

I'm sorry, I don't want to buy a brand new car from 2005.

Jokes aside, what's the point of a new Toyota? You'll have a reliable car but use way more fuel than a German diesel wagon or sedan, in the age of super high fuel prices. Toyota of course barely even makes wagons or sedans anymore. They discontinued the Avensis, brought in the Camry and now it's pretty much "buy a C-HR or RAV4 lol". Toyota's only EV so far came way too late and offers way too little to be compelling compared to what the Koreans are doing. The Koreans can't make an ICE for shit but they do know how to make a decent EV.

The only decent cars they make now are the BMW Supra and the NotOnMyContinent Land Cruiser 300. And I guess the RAV4 PHEV but that costs so much you might as well just get A BMW X5.

Echoing that the Hyundai Ioniqs are fantastic EVs with plenty of actual buttons in the console as well as fast charging speeds (the chargers themselves are the limiting factor)

[–] hesusingthespiritbomb@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago (2 children)

The irony here is that Hyundai models built 2019 - 2023 have an issue where they'll spontaneously combust.
