A Tesla Cybertruck owner says there is a concerted effort to publicly shame people who drive the all-electric truck. He recounts several instances where people pointed and laughed at him while driving his Cybertruck.
When they only made the S, and they were super rare space age tech, Tesla was kinda cool. Now they make road going appliances, and the owner is a terrible person.
that’s as modern as I’m willing to tolerate in a car. If it has a touch screen, then I’m personally offended and whomever designed that vehicle should be flogged.
Rivians are silly. Much less silly than the Cybertruck but still excessively large and heavy with pedestrian-murdering front ends, among other gripes like not having a glovebox or a power button
I don’t know why there aren’t any small pickups. I used to have a proton jumbuck, little two seater pickup. You could get a ton of wood in the back and it was the same size as a car so you could park it easily. Really useful little thing, but you don’t seem to get them anymore.
I used to want one. They were super cool, but much like Volkswagen(sp) the era where Nazis owned them sucked.
Now I want a Rivian.

Even back then, they were shitty, closed-source spyware-boxes.
what car from the last 15 years isn’t, though?
I abhor Tesla and their nazi CEO but to think any other automaker is any better with regard to privacy or openness?
There’s a reason all of my cars are more than 15 years old.
I don’t blame you at all, though there are definitely some tradeoffs
I’m ok with needing to keep an 8track collection instead of CDs if it means that my car won’t report my every sneeze to Ford or whothefuckever.
Upvote for thinking modern cars have CD players

Yeah but that isn’t/wasn’t really unique to them
Yes, but most people don’t give a shit about that.

People who own pickup trucks but don’t need them for work should be sent to live on the pacific garbage patch.

Ford Maverick and Hyundai Santa Cruz are the closest things available in the US now.
IIRC it is due to how taxes are related to size and weight classes of trucks in the US
I’d love something the size of a 90s S10

All I want is a LHD Kei truck.
+1 for the creative punishment of idiots.
They seem neat, but I’d like to experience their UI first. If it’s as awful as the Teslas I’ve ridden in, then nah.
Also, want a front-end winch.
two colors: Old NAZIs or new NAZIs
