I don’t understand the market for the Swastikar. You need to love Nazism, believe that global warming is real, and be able to finance a 100K vehicle. That’s a Venn Diagram with an incredibly small center circle.

The recalls and potential to be burned alive inside also have to be ignored.

You also need to be clueless about off-road and towing capabilities. I see an odd similarity to this car as the Hummer brand in the 2000s. It represented some sort of gluttonous American superiority at the time. Whereas the Hummer alluded to a military superiority, the Cybertruck now alludes to a BigTech superiority. It's all the attempt to buy yourself an identity.

You need to... believe that global warming is real

No you don't. There are plenty of chuds who like higher-end electric cars just because they're extremely fast.

Yeah but you dont need a Tesla. There are so many cool electric cars now.

[–] devfuuu@lemmy.world 4 points 16 hours ago

But do they all validate the inner toxic masculinity needs?

[–] grue@lemmy.world 7 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

Sure, but if they meet the parent commenter's other two criteria (loving Naziism and being able to finance a $100k vehicle), especially the first one, why would they pick some cool brand when they could have a swastikar instead?

(That downvote isn't from me, BTW.)

Yes but how many of them are Blade Runner's car?

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago

The movies always made me fall asleep. But in the book, the cars could fly.

It's simple to understand. Just look at the company's stock value since the CEO outed himself as a Nazi.

[–] BlemboTheThird@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 day ago

I think it's way simpler than that. Has to be, these people are dumb.

A lot of people worship money, and, well... car made by richest man. That mean car good! Buy car!

Conditions a and b line up well… no belief in global warming required to buy your favorite billionaire’s shitty tonka truck.
