"I bought a ZYBERTRUKKK because I care about the environment" excuses have never sounded more hollow.

talked to a couple who has one of the first year Teslas, the battery has lost a good portion of its range capacity and they are worried they won't be able to resell it for much

This is going to be a problem with all electric vehicles, which makes it that much worse that we refuse to make anything affordable and we’ve essentially banned China from selling theirs here.

I love the hot-swap design where the batteries are modular and replaceable. "charging" is swapping your battery for a fully charged one. I read somewhere that some cities in China have been using this for transit buses

Are they one of those who bought a Tesla as "an investment?" If so: lol. lmao, even.

There was that one bazinga brain who sold a bunch of his stuff and bought a cybertruck for that reason, then had all the problems cybertrucks have had. Still loves the truck though.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
