Or sparks fire, considering it’s Tesla

Europeans don’t want to drive a Swasticar? Why? Did something happen to make them dislike Nazis for some reason?
LouNeko@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Looks at my VW
*Erika intensifies*
Bdtrngl@lemmy.world 4 months ago
At least the current vw CEO isn’t openly a Nazi and they make good cars; unlike muskrat and his swasticars.
humanspiral@lemmy.ca 4 months ago
Turns out that siding against voters interested in human sustainability, and pro oil extortionist conservatives bent on climate and human destruction is not a good EV marketing strategy. I have an MBA… AMA

Also doing a nazi salute in front of thousands of people with full blown media coverage.
Justas@sh.itjust.works 4 months ago
WWII might be a distant memory for Americans, but most of Europeans have been to historical sites of Jewish genocide.
ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Doing a nazi salute while making the Mussolini face, no less!
humanspiral@lemmy.ca 4 months ago
ADL supporting Musk’s salute, made US media/Zionist CNBC anyway ignore it. Germany doing the projection stunt on Tesla factory had more EU coverage. Social media, even reddit, is just starting to censor Musk anger now. Though, old people who casually think what mainstream media tells them, would go “media told us that ADL said he never did it, and they would never profit from anti semitism”

Honestly people would have to be basically mad to buy tesla now, same with twitter etc.
I sympathise with people who starling is the only option but yeah I’d rather go without.
bitchkat@lemmy.world 4 months ago
I recently bought a camper van and was planning on getting starlink so I can work from the road (not full time). I guess I’ll have to make sure I’m not off the beaten path on work days and stick to Hotspot.
FabledAepitaph@lemmy.world 4 months ago
This is the way. I wish more people would accept what is quite literally only minor inconvenience in the name of starving these insane companies. We honestly have it so good in most of modern society, and some things are just totally optional imo.
Thanks
Teknikal@eviltoast.org 4 months ago
Yeah sad thing is I can understand Starlink being the only option for some people, so yeah I wouldn’t blame you for using it.

Elon Musk should have his wealth forcefully redistributed
rottingleaf@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Doing a from-heart-to-sun salute tends to hurt sales in UK and Germany, who woulda thought. The stereotype about French is that they don’t care and might even like it, but maybe this is also about build and design quality.
bzah@discuss.tchncs.de [bot] 4 months ago
You may want to read the text before commenting nonsense, the French are not pleased either. | Sales are crashing in France, Germany, and the UK | In France, sales of new Teslas fell by 63 percent
I don’t see what justify your attack, it seems unnecessary to attack people based on their nationality. Yes, we do have a far-right issue in France, but it’s pretty much the same as everywhere else in Europe and there is still a resisting left here, not all hope is lost. Also, regarding your comment below, the white flag stereotype for France comes from 2003, when the US and allies invaded and destroyed Irak, but for once France stood against the US imperialism.
rottingleaf@lemmy.world 4 months ago
It’s a joke, it’s supposed to be grotesque. Grotesque is usually different from adequate to reality.
That’s first, second, my comment does incorporate the fact that the French are not pleased either. You may want to improve your skills of processing two-sentence comments.
Oops, this one is four sentences, I guess it’s going to hurt.
ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 4 months ago
the white flag stereotype for France comes from 2003
It actually comes (unfairly) from the French army mutinies of 1917 and (also unfairly) from France’s surrender to Hitler in 1940, in addition to their not joining in the fun in Iraq. All of which obscures a prior thousand-year history of kicking the shit out of people.
Regrettable_incident@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Yeah, fascism seems to be flourishing all over. I’ve never got the impression that France was any worse than anywhere else though.
Regrettable_incident@lemmy.world 4 months ago
You know it was the French revolution that popularised the guillotine as a means of dealing with wealthy elites?
But yeah I don’t see how Tesla is going to ever repair the damage to their image, unless they can kick musk out and that doesn’t seem likely.
rottingleaf@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Make a product line of electric guillotines? And dogfood with Musk.
Anyway, the French revolution is not considered a one-sided success.
drmoose@lemmy.world 4 months ago
The TSLA crash going to be glorious, can’t wait.
SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 4 months ago
The stock has been overinflated for years, it’s a grift detached from reality.
The stock market is now literally just a rigged casino where 90%+ of the stocks are owned by the rich.
PhAzE@lemmy.ca 4 months ago
No one wants to drive a swasticar.

“Europe and the UK” did they move the UK to another continent, or did they mean the EU?
Presently42@lemmy.ca 4 months ago
So, I hate to be the breaker of bad news, but the UK has left the EU 🤷 Don’t shoot the messenger
whatsisface@sh.itjust.works 4 months ago
EU != Europe
Europe is a continent. The European Union is a group of countries in Europe, no longer including the UK.
toofpic@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Read the comment. EU - maybe, but not the Europe,how do you leave a continent?
echodot@feddit.uk 4 months ago
Yes but not the continent despite what certain people would like
Neon@lemmy.world 4 months ago
You know exactly what was meant.
Professorozone@lemmy.world 4 months ago
You see there was this little thing called Brexit…
essteeyou@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Oh right, is that when they moved to a different tectonic plate?
rottingleaf@lemmy.world 4 months ago
The UK is technically on a few islands, one can use Gibraltar to argue, of course, and historically English crown did possess lots of land in Normandy, Anjou, Aquitaine and even Flanders, also that union with Hannover, but ahem.

Pretty tall order, can’t expect that in 2025.
booberry@sh.itjust.works 4 months ago
Exactly
Neon@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Tusk?
What does Tusk have to with this?
I assume that’s a nickname for “musk” and you did not mean the polish president?
Ulrich@feddit.org 4 months ago
Not sure what you’re trying to say here. You realize VW was founded by Nazis?
booberry@sh.itjust.works 4 months ago
Yeah, and after World War II, they nearly went out of business and took decades to recover the reputation.
Pumafred9@lemmy.world 4 months ago
I believe Hugo Boss supplied the SS suits too…
werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Tesla doesn’t deserve to tarnish the great inventor’s name. Elon more specifically. But who knows, possibly the company’s management team are all mini Elons. The workers they are not at fault.
Noodle07@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Workers are desperate for a union if anything they’re the good guys too
Klnsfw@lemmynsfw.com 4 months ago
At this point, they became homonyms. Nothing more.
b161@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 months ago
Anyone still driving a Tesla needs a bit of verbal abuse.
BritishJ@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Maybe they just like the car. Not everything has to be political. Especially if they get it 2nd hand, the depreciation is huge. So someone could get a nice Tesla for great money. Doesn’t mean they like Elon or support him.
Buying 2nd hand is greener and doesn’t support him.
dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 4 months ago
I don’t know about abuse but I do judge people with Teslas purchased in the last 5 years. Before that the completion was lacking and it was less evident to most people that the CEO is a cunt, but now even if you ignore Elon, it’s just a crazy purchase when all the other manufacturers have caught up in electric and arguably produce better vehicles with less issues.

Quick Elon, sue every EU citizen for not buying your car!
kerrigan778@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Elon gonna start using the EU for not buying his cars
800XL@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Sure am glad all the car companies decided to use the Tesla charger as the standard. /s
FlowVoid@lemmy.world 4 months ago
It’s an open standard now, it doesn’t really matter that Tesla was the first. So it’s a good thing, kind of like iPhones using “Android charging cables” now.
Tja@programming.dev 4 months ago
Their news cars are more expensive and more weird than the old ones, while the competition has been catching up, so it might be that, too…
slingstone@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Good.
buzz86us@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Having competition tends to do that 🤷
rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 4 months ago
Is the manbaby gonna sue every European for not buying his shitass cars now?
SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 4 months ago
As usual, in the end the workers will pay and the owner(s) will walk away slightly less incredibly wealthy.
Frostbeard@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Read that Tesla pushes December in Norway for padding end of year numbers, resulting in a stagnant January. I think that concutive stagnant months is what would indicate how sick we are with Musk
kurcatovium@lemm.ee 4 months ago
Gimme cheap, simple and reliable EV with guaranteed 200km range and I’m sold. I don’t need bazillion of cameras inside and out, I don’t need glass roof, I don’t need always online maps for a subscription fee (obviously I have that on my phone for free already) and I don’t need 20" infotainment, neither I need 3 zone AC with ventilated seats and ballsack massage device, etc. I just want a Dacia of EV market.
SlopppyEngineer@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Microlino, Fiat panda grande, Renault 5, Citroën Ami and others. The smaller and more affordable versions are getting there.
SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Any of those in the US market?
I’ve only seen Rivians and Teslas in my parts.
kurcatovium@lemm.ee 4 months ago
Not a single one of them is available where I live. And once I checked them, they’re not really family cars I was hoping for.
WolfmanEightySix@piefed.social 4 months ago
There’s a little blue Honda EV I see at work. Looks smart as.
Mvlad88@lemmy.world 4 months ago
So Dacia Spring?
casmael@lemm.ee 4 months ago
Good news everyone!
kurcatovium@lemm.ee 4 months ago
If I was alone, this would be an option. With family, not so much. I’ve heard horrible stories, struggling to go uphill with 4 people on board, etc. And I live in a hilly area.
brucethemoose@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Coincidentlaly, throwing all this junk out makes EV’s significantly lighter.
They kinda suffer from “the tyranny of the rocket equation” since so much of their mass is “fuel.” Make it lighter, and they need less battery, which means you need even less battery to carry that battery around, less chassis and suspension weight for that, which removes more battery, and so on.
Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 4 months ago
The Aptera coming out follows this principle. It’s the only EV that’s light enough that the onboard solar panels contribute a significant boost in range.
dan@upvote.au 4 months ago
Fully solid-state batteries are just around the corner - some Chinese models already have a semi-solid-state battery, MG are releasing one this year, companies like Toyota and Honda are working on it too. The current use case is to extend range (600+ miles / 1000+ kms) but they could also be used to get similar range as today’s cars with a much lighter battery.
neo2478@sh.itjust.works 4 months ago
The fiat 500 e fits all that and it’s a delight to drive.
kurcatovium@lemm.ee 4 months ago
It’s a cool car, yes. Too small for me, but cool as fuck. Used ones are affordable, but it’s still 34k € new, which is not cheap at all.
Empricorn@feddit.nl 4 months ago

Dacia Spring. You’re welcome.

VW E-Up is cheap and really good
helloworld55@lemm.ee 4 months ago
Just wondering, what qualifies as cheap for you?
