The two on the right would fool me

but the cybertruck? Come on

[-] volvoxvsmarla@lemm.ee 8 points 1 day ago

I gotta say the cybertruck one is so hilarious and desperate I'd spare it my rage

[-] ChapulinColorado@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

The look would have been completed if they had gone with “Totoya”:

Naw man. It's a Toyota Trondra. Don't mess with it.

[-] norevolutionsontv@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I'm pretty sure the truck one is fake. If it's not they managed to pull off making it look like they pasted it on in windows xp mspaint like a pro. 🤣

[-] Codeviper828@lemmus.org 2 points 1 day ago

How can you tell? The extra jpeg artifacts around the letters?

[-] norevolutionsontv@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

Maybe, but I couldn't really say. I mean it's a low res adjacent pic for sure, but it's just something about the lettering, I think. 😅

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 1 day ago

You gotta think we're pretty stupid to think we'll not recognize a cybertruck. We're not as dumb as you, asshead. That's why we didn't buy one.

[-] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Would be ironic if they then get targeted by a truck guy for "buying jap crap"

It's actually pretty believable as a Mazda

[-] DannyBoy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

Could pass as a Mazda 6 from the rear if you didn't look too close.

[-] TassieTosser@aussie.zone 3 points 1 day ago

I had to look really closely cause I really thought it was a Mazda.

[-] Philharmonic3@lemmy.world 77 points 2 days ago

Don't attack fellow citizens who were bamboozled. Redirect your energy towards the fuck in charge

[-] PmMeFrogMemes@lemmy.world 32 points 2 days ago

For the other two sure, but buyers should have known better by the time the cybertruck came out. I have no qualms judging a cybertruck driver

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Proles don't hurt proles.

CT owners aren't proles tho

[-] Stegget@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

por que no los dos

[-] simonmicro@programming.dev 107 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Well, that's fake. Nice idea, but every single picture displays signs of manipulation: Incorrect brightness values, compression artifacts (strangely stronger around the sign), mismatching perspective or difference of quality (sign is more clear than the uncensored part of the license plate below).

[-] ragebutt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 42 points 2 days ago

Plus who would possibly see a cyber truck and be like “oh okay it’s not a tesla phew”. that’s gotta be the most distinct car since like the Pontiac Aztec or the pt cruiser (both of which were also ugly pieces of shit)

[-] ViscloReader@lemmy.world 41 points 2 days ago

May I present another distinct car

[-] cmder@lemmy.world 31 points 2 days ago

This is the real multipla !

[-] tostiman@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 days ago

Stop, I can only get so erect!

[-] Sylvartas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago

It has more than 1000 hp btw. And breaks itself every few miles

[-] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 11 points 2 days ago

It looks like it held in a sneeze

It just has real heavy JPEG.

Here's a Reddit post for the Toyota cybertruck, which looks pretty legit to me. I also really love it - I can't tell if it's the fact that it's an incredibly unconvincing camouflage, or that it looks like it's trying to ruin Toyota's good name by signing it on this piece of junk.

There's also a picture of a Tesla with an Audi sticker going around, but that one was posted to Reddit two years ago so before Elon Musk went full nazi. I like that one because if I saw it in traffic I would have genuinely believed it was an Audi - I don't give enough of a shit about modern car design to notice. Maybe until it starts making fart sounds or crashes into something because the driver is occupied with the gigantic dashboard iPad. But I digress.

Not everything on the internet is fake. There's a bunch of Tesla owners out there, and a lot of them are looking for ways to communicate that driving their car is not an endorsement of fascism.

I've been considering buying some nice stickers that can achieve similar effects without destroying the car, and leaving them under the windshield wipers of parked Teslas around town with alongside a friendly note. I'm sure some people would be happy to use them.

[-] Furbag@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago

If you're rebadging your Tesla because you feel some second hand shame for owning one now that it's clear to anyone with eyes that Elon Musk is a literal Nazi, just sell it and buy a different EV.

[-] dev_null@lemmy.ml 40 points 1 day ago

Sell it to who? Is this a game of hot potato?

[-] galanthus@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago
[-] dev_null@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 day ago

Exactly what I thought of

[-] loutr@jlai.lu 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah, my friend is really glad he sold his Tesla last summer.

[-] JandroDelSol@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

lmao who's buying a cybertruck in these days

[-] Takumidesh@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago

I think a lot of people are in really deep from 2021/2022 car purchases and will lose their ass if they sell it.

I also think 99.999 percent of people will have next to no reaction seeing a model 3 or whatever on the road because they are common traffic.

My guess would be that people putting these badges on their car think it's funny.

[-] Geodad@lemm.ee -1 points 1 day ago

I’m glad I’m fiscally and technologically conservative. I bought my first hybrid in 2012 (after the tech had 2-3 generations to mature). I’m considering going with a PHEV for my next car, which will probably be in about 10 years or so.

[-] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 12 points 2 days ago

"You gotta recharge sometime"... You don't think other brands do EVs?

[-] wieson@feddit.org 4 points 1 day ago

Other brands have a universal charger, Tesla has a proprietary one

[-] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 4 points 1 day ago

Why does that surprise me, actually?

[-] OmegaMan@lemmings.world 3 points 1 day ago

Not really true in newer models. The Tesla charger was adopted as the North American Charging System (NACS.) Pretty much every new EV made in the last 2 years uses it, and all of them will moving forward.

[-] wieson@feddit.org 2 points 1 day ago

I'm not in north America, I think for Europe IEC 92196 Typ 2 is the norm.

[-] OmegaMan@lemmings.world 2 points 1 day ago

Ah that makes sense.

[-] Jimmycrackcrack@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago

Even if they didn't, you generally recharge in your house where hopefully not everyone can see your stuff.

[-] Xavienth@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 day ago

It was only very recently that other car brands started adopting Tesla's ports. Probably most non-Tesla EVs won't be found at a Tesla charging station.

With that said, is it really that uncommon for EV owners to not have a charger at home?

[-] theneverfox@pawb.social 20 points 2 days ago

Know what? I endorse it. Aside from the cyber truck, if you want to pretend, ok take that as "I was bamboozled". But the cyber truck.... There's no hiding that. There's no hiding the timeframe on that. You can't just call that POS a Toyota

Sorry, but that's a bridge too far. Deal with the consequences... It's just spray paint, if anything it's protective compared to the lack of any kind of paint. Take it on the chin

[-] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

The one on the top right is a Honda. I know bekcause it has the H, that's how you know it's a Honda.

[-] callouscomic@lemm.ee 7 points 2 days ago

I put Yugo on it.

[-] CreateProblems@corndog.social 5 points 2 days ago

If anyone knows where to buy one of these decals, please let me know. My parents bought a Tesla several years ago because of environmentally friendly ambitions and I'd love to get them one of these decals. I tried to Google it but "car logo decal" wasn't getting me results like this meme shows.

[-] TerraRoot@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago

Try searching for badges instead, i'd sugest a mazda one.

[-] CreateProblems@corndog.social 2 points 1 day ago

Awesome, this worked. Thank you!
