Plus who would possibly see a cyber truck and be like “oh okay it’s not a tesla phew”. that’s gotta be the most distinct car since like the Pontiac Aztec or the pt cruiser (both of which were also ugly pieces of shit)

It just has real heavy JPEG.

Here's a Reddit post for the Toyota cybertruck, which looks pretty legit to me. I also really love it - I can't tell if it's the fact that it's an incredibly unconvincing camouflage, or that it looks like it's trying to ruin Toyota's good name by signing it on this piece of junk.

There's also a picture of a Tesla with an Audi sticker going around, but that one was posted to Reddit two years ago so before Elon Musk went full nazi. I like that one because if I saw it in traffic I would have genuinely believed it was an Audi - I don't give enough of a shit about modern car design to notice. Maybe until it starts making fart sounds or crashes into something because the driver is occupied with the gigantic dashboard iPad. But I digress.

Not everything on the internet is fake. There's a bunch of Tesla owners out there, and a lot of them are looking for ways to communicate that driving their car is not an endorsement of fascism.

I've been considering buying some nice stickers that can achieve similar effects without destroying the car, and leaving them under the windshield wipers of parked Teslas around town with alongside a friendly note. I'm sure some people would be happy to use them.

For the other two sure, but buyers should have known better by the time the cybertruck came out. I have no qualms judging a cybertruck driver

por que no los dos

Proles don't hurt proles.

CT owners aren't proles tho

Sell it to who? Is this a game of hot potato?

I think a lot of people are in really deep from 2021/2022 car purchases and will lose their ass if they sell it.

I also think 99.999 percent of people will have next to no reaction seeing a model 3 or whatever on the road because they are common traffic.

My guess would be that people putting these badges on their car think it's funny.

lmao who's buying a cybertruck in these days

Could pass as a Mazda 6 from the rear if you didn't look too close.

I had to look really closely cause I really thought it was a Mazda.

I gotta say the cybertruck one is so hilarious and desperate I'd spare it my rage

Naw man. It's a Toyota Trondra. Don't mess with it.

I'm pretty sure the truck one is fake. If it's not they managed to pull off making it look like they pasted it on in windows xp mspaint like a pro. 🤣

Other brands have a universal charger, Tesla has a proprietary one

Even if they didn't, you generally recharge in your house where hopefully not everyone can see your stuff.

It was only very recently that other car brands started adopting Tesla's ports. Probably most non-Tesla EVs won't be found at a Tesla charging station.

With that said, is it really that uncommon for EV owners to not have a charger at home?

Try searching for badges instead, i'd sugest a mazda one.

Somehow both anti-fascist left wing activists (paint, scratch, protest) and anti-ev right wing reactionists/"car enthusiasts" (scratch, cord cutting, gas pump-sucking circle jerking). Yet, Teslas keep selling and people keep buying, despite getting attacked from "both sides". I think it's a great example showing the general population does not give a fuck. The apathetic population outnumbers the voting population. The nearsighted self-interested demographic (tax, rebate, and fuel incentives) prevails over the shouty demographic.

It's vocal minorities all around.

I'm a pro-ev general vehicle enthusiast. I'm surrounded by Teslas. I can't knock Tesla for putting evs on the road. I'm still waiting for the real manufacturers to get up to speed. At least we had some good PHEV options?
