You can find the Matrix chat room for this community here.
Rules
-
Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn't choose car-centric life out of free will.
-
No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don't use slurs. You can laugh at someone's fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.
-
Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don't post literal car fucking.
-
No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.
-
No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn't a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.
-
No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.
-
No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.
Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.

This is why the planet is fucked, you all whine that climate change is scary but then you cheer on people attacking electric cars just because Twitter man bad. You're all desperate for tesla to fail because Elon upset you, someone doing something petty that'll have zero effect on Elon but will negatively affect a regular person fills you with joy because it's a way of hitting back at the bad man. Totally childish and pathetic.
Spend that energy learning about and praising positive things, don't win by tearing your opponent down win by building yourself up.
All of the vehicles in the article were pre-delivery. As they were still owned by Tesla, it falls on the company to repair them.
I’m not justifying vandalism, but the impact to the buyer is a delayed delivery vs a monetary and PR impact to Tesla.
Ok... I'll take the bait, can you please share links that show how the Cybertruck is actually good the planet? I didn't actually read technical review about it. I mostly see silly (and sometimes fun) memes. I also recently read that EV in generals don't have the same impact as electrical bikes, e.g https://www.theguardian.com/news/ng-interactive/2024/apr/11/evs-are-booming-but-electric-bikes-are-really-cutting-emissions , but maybe I'm misinformed and this vehicle by Tesla, despite its size, it's actually helping. Can you please share a link to such review and/or studies with e.g Life cycle assessment (LCA) / ISO 14040?
PS: to clarify I don't mean articles about how it's "changing mind", I mean numerical estimations then comparison between one mean of transport, e.g non EV vs EV, or this EV vs other or this EV vs random electric bike.
Its paint. They can still drive them. Stop being a little baby.
Also, i don't know about a single nice person that bought this low poly piece of shit.
Tesla is synonymous with climate destruction and if you believe otherwise demonstrates that you have grossly bought into their propaganda.
You ... are aware Tesla isn't the only EV car company, and is also one of the more expensive ones ... right?
Their work sharing battery tech was monumental in starting the market and they've continued to really push things forward.
I understand you have an emotional response to a distasteful man but ignoring reality makes you seem totally unserious and frankly absurd.
Right, I'm the one seeing things through a funnel of "emotional response" and ignoring the rest of the EV market because of nostalgia and a sense of devotion ...
No matter what cars will be shit for the environment in some way, things like pubic transport, bike infrastructure and more walkable cities are things that actually help
