Simply buy a cybertruck and put a generator in the back that's constantly running to charge it.

That would still make them cleaner than a diesel ICE truck. Since the generator can continuously run at a constant rpm where the engine burns the fuel efficiently. So that would also generate the least particulate matter since the burn would be cleaner.

There is a Canadian company called Edison who will retrofit a truck into a hybrid. They add two electric axle engines and convert the IC engine into a generator to charge the batteries.

Are you suggesting they drive... a hybrid?!

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

As long as you keep the generator running when you're driving it's just an externally located internal combustion engine.

[-] Dultas@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

So an external combustion engine.

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

No the combustion occurs internally in the externally located engine.

[-] 0ops@lemm.ee 2 points 3 weeks ago

My head hurts

There are videos that walk through how to "de-pussify" (or some other misogynistic term) cyber trucks to make them run on diesel. I don't know enough about cars or cyber trucks to know how valid they are.

[-] naught101@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

That's hilarious. I'm guessing it would end up about as structurally sound as this

[-] EstonianGuy@lemm.ee 18 points 3 weeks ago

Compromise, buy the tesla but destroy it so no one can drive it

[-] samus12345@lemm.ee 15 points 3 weeks ago

Like most of them could afford a Tesla.

[-] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

Cash advance services see 800% profit with this one weird trick!

[-] ZJBlank@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

One weird truck*

If they sold the kidneys of their entire family, maybe.

[-] flightyhobler@lemm.ee 13 points 3 weeks ago

I was wondering about this earlier today. How to they reconcile "Elon is God" with "Electrification goes against my fReEdOm"?!

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 weeks ago

Easy. You are allowed to drive an electric vehicle as long as you drink two full cups of leaded gasoline a day.

[-] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 weeks ago

Where do electric cars fit into "drill baby drill"?

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 10 points 3 weeks ago

I think they should go for it and buy the 21st century Pinto. No one, not a soul, is laughing at them. I swear.

[-] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

Hey now, the Pinto at least had to be in an accident first before it would blow up.

[-] Transtronaut@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 3 weeks ago

How long before Tesla's next car has a combustion engine?

[-] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 weeks ago

They will still find a way to make exhaust pour out the back

[-] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, after the batteries explode.

[-] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 weeks ago

Teslas are already very good at emitting plumes of smoke without their help, tyvm.

[-] RoamingWanderer@mander.xyz 1 points 3 weeks ago

Or making them overly loud and obnoxious for no reason

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Judging by the effects of the market on Tesla stock, I really don't think this is the struggle that the meme suggests it is.

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Leftists be like

[-] DrunkEngineer@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Thanks to pollution credits, Elon gets paid regardless of whether they choose to drive an EV.

[-] vegantomato@lemmy.world -2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Click both, get a hybrid

spoilerPeople on the internet who obsess with left-right politics are a psyop, including maga grifters who think discourse about the environment is a lib-thing.
