A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
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 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.
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.)
But do they all validate the inner toxic masculinity needs?
Yes but how many of them are Blade Runner's car?
The movies always made me fall asleep. But in the book, the cars could fly.
The cars fly in the movies too?
Like I said, the movies always make me fall asleep. Maybe I fell asleep before that part.
Sounds like a super power: just put a movie on when you go to bed 😅
The flying car is within the first 5 minutes of the first blade runner movie iirc?
lol yeah I was just thinking it’s like the very first chapter in the book. Which I haven’t read in like 30 years.
Blade Runner spinners look way better than the swasticar.
Pssst, don't let Elon hear.
All cars in Seattle travel at 30mph or less during morning and afternoon traffic.
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!
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.
Whereas the Hummer alluded to a military superiority
Uhhhh....you have seen the H3, right?
When people refer to "the Hummer" they almost always mean the H1
Absolutely. Just wanted to point out that the H3 exists, and everything after H1 implies nothing more than too much money.
I didn't buy my EV for sustainability reasons, I bought it because it was the most cost effective and convenient commuter car for my specific driving profile.
The sustainability is just a nice bonus for me that I don't care too much about.
It's simple to understand. Just look at the company's stock value since the CEO outed himself as a Nazi.
Funny, but I prefer Swasticar bc Deplorean is trading on the cool factor of DeLoreans
Wankpanzer is also pretty good.
Does not have to be Before Christ.
I don't like that, the Delorean is exponentially better than the nazicar in every way.
The delorean could go forward in time.
My favorite is Incel Camino.
Nazi clown car.
When this baby hits 88 miles per hour, it sends you back to apartheid South Africa.
We would have also accepted “Failblazer”
Fun fact: Every month something else falls off these things, or they find out a spring shower disables the electrical system, or...
Doc doesn't have to get it to 88mph to travel Back to the Dealership
Doc ~~doesn't have to~~ can't get it to 88mph, ~~to travel~~ Back to the Dealership in limp mode!
Makes me glad that Bob Gale is preventing any new Back to the Future movies from being made, 'cause you know that someone in Hollywood would have tried to make a Cybertruck time machine otherwise.
21st century pinto
Fun fact: these are actually more explosive than Pintos
How about Derploreans? I liked cyber rust though, living in salty winter roads territory.
Funny how living where trucks are actually useful in the winter has kept the washing tubs to a minimum. Between the two factors I only saw my first one in the wild this month. It was black in a vain effort to look cool lol
I would drop the "r" and roll with Deplorean for all the deplorables driving them.
We gotta go forward, forward to the past!
That twitter car
Maga mobile?
Bad name because the DeLorean is awesome and this car sucks.
