Hummers were a thing. I can easily see those same people buying this.

This doesn’t look like a car or a truck it’s a combat vehicle. Seriously, who’s impressed by Elon’s shooting and steel ball demonstrations? In what kind of failed state do these Tesla customers live? With a tank hull for a frame and sharp edges all around this looks like a safety hard for passengers and especially pedestrians outside the car.

Are you not aware of people in general? MANY think it’s “cool as fuck” and those demonstrations bought them more than any sales tactic other car makers use. Imagine the stereotype of cavemen going “strong thing good, make woman want me, me want strong thing,” and you got a good idea of a disturbing large part of humanity. That shit works extremely well for a lot of people.

Wood gasification, people will be driving it’ll just look like the Beverly hillbillies come to town rather than madmax.

Maybe a handful could cobble together a steam powered vehicle like they made during the early days of cars, and drive around at relatively low speed on anything that will burn?

That’s not entirely true. I’ve fired up my bike with two year old gasoline in the tank, and larger quantities will last longer than the 3l that was left in my tank.
JudahBenHur@lemm.ee 11 months ago
yes, there are some variables, and if you had old gasoline, adding fresh on top is 100％ the right hing to do. It dilutes it into the new, more combustable fuel

We’ve been watching the Last Man On Earth and my family is getting sick of me pointing that out.

That show went downhill for me really fast.

After a year or two, it would be easier to get an off grid system going than finding or making fuel a modern vehicle would run on.
