I'll at least give people with Teslas the benefit of doubt, but if I see you with a Cybertruck I'm going to judge you.

I've started seeing the Juniper model Ys in my town. There are people who bought the Cybertruck before he was a nazi, but everyone who owns a Juniper Y was well aware he was a nazi when they bought the car.

It's unfortunate. It's actually a seemingly very cool car.

They might have made a refundable deposit on the truck, it was still refundable and Musk had shown the world he's a moron years before that.

Yeah I put down a deposit on a Cybertruck years ago. Not because I thought it was a cool car, but because it was an EV truck for $40k.

By the time they actually came out at 2.5x the price and Elon started throwing around sieg heils, it was a super easy decision to cancel the reservation.

because it was an EV truck for $40k.

You might like Telo, you can reserve one for $152 and they say they're going to start shipping in 2026.

Huh that's dope! Never heard of them before. Just watched a video of them demoing one of their preproduction trucks. Looks super practical, which is a hell of a lot more than could be said about the Cybertruck!

I've been following them for a while. You may have heard of Aptera who has some patented tech where they make curved solar panels embedded in glass. Telo made a deal with Aptera and not the Telo trucks will have an optional solar roof.

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Yeah I saw that spec option. Honestly the solar roof stuff seems really gimmicky to me. They mentioned that the battery holds 106 kWh. I don't know what the solar roof produces, but an average panel on top of a house creates something like 2 kWh per day.

So having a solar roof on your car would likely take something like 50 days of sunshine to charge to full. I mean, it's not nothing, but definitely not a practical solution for charging for 99%+ of the population.

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

On most cars it's not very useful. The Aptera is so light and efficient they say you can get up to about 40 miles per day of charge with solar panels that are rated at 700W and I think they've already verified this on their production models. I would guess on the Telo you would get about 10. Not super useful in most situations, but pretty cool.

Plenty of CEOs are morons/assholes. I bought my model 3 after we knew he was an asshole, before it became public knowledge that he was donating to the Trump campaign, but I did buy it used so that he would get as little of my money as possible. Buying a Tesla after we knew he was a nazi is on a different level.

Oh man, that’s insane and super frustrating. I would totally look the other way while someone destroys one of those.

[–] Coreidan@lemmy.world -4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I don’t give Tesla owners any slack. If it took you this long to figure out and see what a shit bag Elon is then shame on you.

He’s been in my book as a shit bag since at least 2018. What have you all been doing the last 7-8 years? Buying Tesla’s? Shame.

To be fair the Model S came out in like, 2012, and the 3 on 2017.

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

The S was in 2011, my brother has one from that year.
