I wish the US had viable alternatives to Tesla… Most mass market cars here barely match the tech, and still want $$$.
There’s loads of electric vehicles on the market in the US with similar tech to the Tesla. What tech do you want anyway, the most useful thing that Tesla has a reverse charging which is not at all unique.
What are you talking about? Ford has better battery chemistry, Chevy has better interiors, Rivian makes a better truck, and those are just American brands.
Took Ford 4 years of production to swap to heat pump, Chevy’s tech is completely laughable it would be a 500% improvement if they just removed the screen, and did carplay only
How could you do carplay without a screen?
Frankly I don’t need my car to have a gaming system bolted to it. I prefer carplay for music and navigation, and physical buttons for climate control. I think a lot of ‘high tech’ Tesla design decisions are actively hostile to the driving experience.
Carplay can be done without a screen just add GPS arrows and track info to an HUD.
That is part of what annoys me about legacy Auto EVs they try and fail to compete with Tesla, and just give their horrendous infotainment larger screens. If I could option those away I’d seriously prefer that. I care more about what makes the car go… If I could exchange the screen for more range then that’d be for me.
Another thing that bothers me is packaging. Gigacasting just makes for a better overall car whereas a lot of legacy Auto stuff is conversions of ICE platforms.
Tesla Swasticars Model SS
The Founders Edition is a limited production run of only the first 88 units built
Edit: and it comes in 14 package variants, naturally
The GPS voice is Hitler screaming and yelling directions at you in German
Rechts. Rechts. Ganz Rechts.
Nah, they made the voice speak english with a German accent, but it keeps messing up the directions in roundabouts.
For some reason the GPS gets confused when directing you to take the third exit in a roundabout and keeps saying: “Take the third reich”
It can’t turn left… that’s why it has you take the third Reich.
And the indicators are a physical arm that repeatedly sticks straight out in a gesture similar to a Roman salute.
The orange engine light that alerts you to engine trouble is a star of david.
Shitty cars, shitty company, ketamine addled fascist prick owner.
Still no “Full Self Driving” after claiming “soon” back in 2015…
if he kept his promise of self driving and an economy model we would all be very uncomfortable right about now.
Elon was always a scam artist
Oh he gave specific dates. And yet people still haven’t ridiculed him off the public stage.
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.
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.
I’m not talking about buying one. Just comparing the cars themselves. Teslas are falling behind.
Do they come in reich hand drive?
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.Wankpanzer is pretty good too.
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.
Elon Musk isn’t a Nazi, FFS.
… Nazis could make cars.
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.
You’re wrong.
In German and Dutch it just means people.
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.
Not entirely true
Substantiv, Neutrum [das]
-
durch gemeinsame Kultur und Geschichte [und Sprache] verbundene große Gemeinschaft von Menschen “ein freies, unterdrücktes Volk”
-
[ohne Plural] Masse der Angehörigen einer Gesellschaft, der Bevölkerung eines Landes, eines Staatsgebiets “das arbeitende, werktätige, unwissende Volk”
- Many people who’re connected through similar history and culture, “a free people”, “a suppressed people”
- [without plural] Members of a society, the inhabitants of a country, “the working people”, …
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 :)
-
Yeah, you are right.
Ah, he’s the Elonazi of cars.
There are stickers as well. Absolutely don’t put them on swasticars.
Do be careful, those vehicles are covered in cameras. Arnt dystopias fun! /s
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.
Interesting that swatsicars didn’t show up in Google searches. I guess we have to keep searching Google.
I am mildly disappointed that we didn’t go with SwastiKKKar.
This looks better than the Cybertruck
I mostly agree but this is stupid
I thought so too!
It also fixes many of the issues with the cyber truck. That one has paint, it hasn’t got the stupid unified headlight, which isn’t legal in most parts of the world, and it’s a more traditional shape which means it would be easier to manufacture.
Still a swasticar though.
Looks more like a swastivan to me, TBF.
Any other company made it… I would totally want this!
…But I will not support that fucking Nazi currently tearing down my country.
C’mon bro… you in the comments… op asked so nice bro ! Please!
I’m do my best to stop swatzicars. Forever.
I’m swastisure he doesn’t give a fuck. This is peak slacktivism, on par with sharing a meaningless chain post on Facebook.
This leads to a “I don’t even know who you are…” moment in OP’s grand future confrontation with elon.
You know what, I can’t disagree.
Who has Elon growing a toothbrush mustache on their bingo cards?
A musktache if you will.
He’ll need to get hair transplants first…
AI shit. The weapon of our enemy. We don’t need it. We don’t use it.
And why would you use it to make the fugly cybertruck look cooler than it actually does? In a post satirizing it? Weird approach.
I think the point is that literally anyone and apparently even non sapient entities, can make a better vehicle than musk can.
Ai is a tool for anybody, but not anybody can use this tool efficiently yet…
