I keep asking myself why I still see Teslas out on the road. Like who tf is still buying let alone owning one of those trash dumps? Like seriously.
What's even more stupid is that I keep seeing ads everywhere for Musk's stupid ass Star Link. Why is anyone in their right mind even bothering to take his ads? JFC. They have one job but they can't even stand up to corruption.
I just saw a cyber truck with a temporary tag on it , meaning the asshole bought it less than 30 days ago. At this point it’s a deliberate choice
My wife's distant cousin or something who we see at some holidays bought a cybertruck a few years ago and actually had a party for when he brought it home. At said party he was planning on taking people on rides but something happened and it wouldn't start. So he drove it home, parked it in his garage, tried to suck his own dick and instead got a very expensive paper weight. Last I heard it was still just sitting there because it would cost too much to fix and he was fighting with the company, but still singing praises.
There’s a ton of them out there. Lotta idiots, lotta people who only care about themselves.
I have a T3 from 2021. Still drives well. What am I going to do? I wouldn't buy another Tesla as musk is a dick, but it's a good car.
My parents use starlink from their off grid house in the middle of nowhere - it's the only way to get decent internet there. Not sure what ads you're talking about, but I generally avoid media with ads.
Yes, right? I still have discussions about this. Teslas aren't so bad and so on. Wtf.
For the ad companies, money is money. They'll run any ad that pays. Hell, Google runs porn ads on YouTube on the same videos they force to self sensor so much even a puritan would say to lighten up a bit.
The absolute best case scenario: someone wants an EV and used Teslas have hit rock bottom prices due to people selling them.
But at this point, people by a Tesla because they want to lick Musk's taint.
So many people suck up the ads and think Teslas with "autonomous driving" are the car of the future. They look up to them. I just don't get it.
Because cars are expensive and electric vehicles last quite a long time.
