Thanks Jeff.

A good reminder.

Corvettes are fast.

Mustangs are fast.

Camaros, fast.

But when you want the fascist car on your block, there’s nothing like the Tesla Model SS.

Joanne Beck's avatar

uggh a swasticar was in my office parking lot this morning. Made me want to pull out my middle finger stamp and plant it right on the hood.

Jeff Tiedrich's avatar

I recently drove alongside a cybertruck on a highway. it was the first time I'd seen one in the wild. good lord, they're so cheap-looking, like they're made of spray-painted carboard

Walt Svirsky's avatar

When President Elmo unveiled his cybercuck, he danced around his stage before his adoring enablers, proud as a peacock. As he prepared to demonstrate the “bulletproof” qualities of the mobile dumpster, his drooling accomplices watched in awe when he lightly struck the nearest window and smashed it to smithereens.

Jayme Wolworth's avatar

And just like that, Tesla stock is up almost $20 today. If they think MAGA is going to be buying Elon's cars they are sadly mistaken,

Trump manipulating the stock market is against the law somehow, but "his" DOJ or SEC will never say a damn word about it. Corrupt to the core.

Anne Whitney's avatar

MAGA pleebs can't afford to buy these cars anyway. The stock dip was because of his own brother and two board members dumping $100m +? I'm looking for a genuine cratering and shareholders to be pissed and asking to replace him as CEO. Short of that I'll just conclude all these market shifts are deliberate manipulations of the market by their board.

Sköll's avatar

The couple of times I saw one in my neck of the backwoods, it was a wealthy Republican driving it to his ski resort condo. I know everyday MAGAs would not buy it.

PJ Schuster's avatar

Hope he gets stuck in the snow with it sometime

Eileen's avatar

The corruption intensified overnight. Absolutely disgusting.

Bikracer's avatar

MAGA is buying his cars. I live in rural San Luis Obispo county in CA and several people in my neighborhood have Cybertrucks.

Joanne Beck's avatar

It looks exactly like a dumpster!!

Munchygut's avatar

I call it the DePlorian.

Marla's avatar

I favor Wankpanzer, my own self.

Barbara Morgan's avatar

Perfectly 😂✌🏻💙

Diane J's avatar

We have a dumpster in my apartment complex, it looks better than a Tesla and would probably sell better if equipped with a motor, brakes and lights.

Janine Johnston's avatar

I’m up ⬆️ in a couple hours if you’d be down that is iiuuuuuuuuuuu I’m

Sköll's avatar

I remember seeing a Youtube video of a MAGA idiot firing a bullet into his own cybertruck to test its bulletproofness. A hole appeared in it and he went oh nooooooo

Cheri Collins's avatar

I'd forgotten that! 😂🤣😂

Martha's avatar

They look like a kid’s soap box derby car made from sheets of plywood.

Jan Moon's avatar

Exactly. When I first saw (a picture of) one I thought it was only half unpacked from the crate and they saw how ugly it was and just walked away. Is it really what they look like? I'll take and Edsel. Or a Studebaker. Or a Henry J.

Douglas Paul Truhlar's avatar

The great but maligned Henry J. I can see it in my head. Car companies had to do a lot of consolidation back then, all 3 and the Hudson are now gone.

Jan Moon's avatar

And for explosion on demand, let's' not forget the Pinto.

Marlene Lerner-Bigley (CA)'s avatar

YES! Reminds me of an episode from the old Spanky and Our Gang series where the kids made their soap box cars.

Susanna J. Sturgis's avatar

Calling that thing a truck is a perversion of the word. Real trucks should rise up in opposition. Dump trucks should back up to it and bury it.

Kimmy's avatar

My trusty Tacoma is so offended by anyone calling that monstrosity a truck!

Anna B's avatar

As I posted on another site, I saw a post about the time it first came out that referred to it as a 'sports futility vehicle.'

Karen Livolsi's avatar

My favorite so far! To be fair, so many hilarious descriptions to choose from!

I live in the Pittsburgh suburbs.

I haven’t spoken to my Tesla owning fascist neighbors since before the election. I keep a Ukrainian flag and a 6ft metal sunflower sculpture in my front yard (just so everyone knows where the Livolsi’s stand in this coup).

Not many cyber trucks around here, but we’re polluted with Tesla cars.

I have noticed the neighbor’s Tesla is in their garage for days on end now. I’ve seen it a handful of times since President Musk took over the Treasury. I consider it a symbol of hate, corruption and contempt.

Hannah's avatar

We had a 1998 or was it 1989, Tacoma. The small one. It was worth more than twice what it cost new. Loved that little truck.

Susanna J. Sturgis's avatar

It was probably a 1998. Rationale: My 1988 Toyota pickup was before Toyota pickups had model names. The T-100 came later, and the Tacoma and the Tundra came after that. Just looked it up: the T-100, a full-size pickup, was introduced in 1993, the Tacoma in 1995, and the full-size Tundra in 1999. Tacomas and Tundras are ubiquitous where I live, but for the last 15 years I've been driving a 2008 Subaru Forester. <g>

Walt Svirsky's avatar

I do my best to pull up alongside those cybercucks so I can point my finger at them and laugh and laugh and laugh.

Wendymae's avatar

I see them several times a week in south FL but would never do that as I'm scared of getting shot. They are the most hideous thing on the road for sure and I assume everyone in one is a major asshole.

Dave Drell's avatar

Remember how everyone trashed the Hummer? its was this giant truck used by suburban wives to go to the grocery store and hit about 8 miles/gallon.

This seems twice as bad

Marla's avatar

And a lot of them had rhino bars over the headlights.

Yannow, for all those rhinos running wild in the suburbs.

Susanna J. Sturgis's avatar

I'd forgotten about the Hummer. The local Suburbans and Expeditions have the same demographic and probably get about the same mpg.

Ellen Jannol's avatar

They seem to be everywhere here in SoCal. Ugh they are the most stupid looking things I've ever had the bad luck of seeing.

Marlene Lerner-Bigley (CA)'s avatar

They’re creeping up here in Northern CA too. I have seen too many of them for my liking. Ugh

Ethereal Fairy's avatar

A safe assumption here, I saw one at my local Home Depot I couldn't help but think it's like the initial Hummer phase ugly, blocky, and looks like crap. Also think it looks like the car in in the old sci-fi movie "damnation Alley".

Anna B's avatar

The covered 'bed' is too small to carry much of anything. A relative's neighbor bought one and then found that he couldn't carry his bicycle in it. Probably not much you could buy at Home Depot would fit either. Certainly not lumber.

Diane Findley's avatar

An actual stainless steel dumpster.

Munchygut's avatar

There are lots of articles about raccoons mistaking them for dumpsters.

Carl Babcock's avatar

There is one here in Iowa City, and yes, it looks like a 7 year old drew the plans, and it was made in a recycling plant. It is driven by some 50 something dude who looks like he is having a mildly late mid-life crisis.

Ethereal Fairy's avatar

That's a safe bet, you can see the testosterone leaking out of them, never to return.

Karen Livolsi's avatar

Soo funny Ethereal fairy Natalie!😄😅😂

You always make me laugh!

Ethereal Fairy's avatar

That was my impression of the balding, dad-bod guy, with his young son, when he got out of it. He was not an impressive specimen of manhood.

J.R.'s avatar

Trump’s blatant Hatch Act-violating infomercial reveals part of what a $300 million donation can get you these days. The cybertrucks are ugly as sin and useless except as a rolling virtue signal; nevertheless, several haunt our neighborhood these days, one festooned with spray-painted forest camouflage and red radiation warnings. Like Project MAGA 2025, laughable, but not in the least bit funny.

longtimebirdwatcher's avatar

Really, where do you live? We're in Berkeley, and we rarely see them on city streets, as in never.

J.R.'s avatar

Live outside of Louisville, KY, near Valhalla Golf Club. Upper middle class, very white, and MAGA infested.

Patricia Williamson's avatar

I live in California and see a few cybertrucks. I see a lot of Tesla cars here. I don't know why anyone would want a cybertruck, unless, its "look at me."

Marlene Lerner-Bigley (CA)'s avatar

So you obviously heard about the tragic accident that occurred in Piedmont where young teens were in a cybertruck, right? The driver was had drank what they think was at least 8 alcoholic beverages before getting into the car. The cybertruck crashed and all of the teens were trapped inside. A friend of theirs was following them and he hopped out of his car, frantically ting to break windows and unlock the doors. He was able to save one of the passengers. The rest died. Now the NTSB and the police department forensic investigators are searching through the truck’s records (think black box) to see if Tesla should be charged. I vote yes!

HI2thDoc's avatar

IKR? For $300M, drumpf shoulda bought a whole fucking fleet

Carl Babcock's avatar

There was discussion those rolling dumpsters being armored and used in the military, because why not give an incredibly lucrative defense contract to someone who works for the President?

KP Johnson Austin, TX's avatar

correction: "...an incredibly lucrative defense contract to a nazi who works for the nazi in chief."

HI2thDoc's avatar

Luckily that contract was cancelled

Ole Anderson's avatar

He did ‘buy a whole fucking fleet-$400 Million worth of these Lemons for the military.

Grift much?!? Under Biden the military put out a $4 million bid for mid size electric vehicles for testing.

The orange shit stain changed the order to Tesla only and upped the purchase to $400 million. And tried to backdate it so it looked like Biden did it. Some Fraud so necessary for a successful Grift.

Eileen's avatar

That is so off the charts corrupt. Why is that not front page news every day? Well, we know why. Because Donny crimes so often and so in public they can’t keep up with them and he knows it and doesn’t care. And then he has some plausible deniability bullshit that slows them down even more.

J.R.'s avatar

Undoubtedly, every cultist will take the infomercial as a call to buy cybertrucks, or else.

shee-rah's avatar

With what money? Maybe they were fired by DOGE.

Peaceful Mary T.'s avatar

I saw one for the first time in person on Monday and was surprised at how ugly and really big and clunky they look! Geez, no way would I want to be seen in one of those things.

HI2thDoc's avatar

Read a review that said the sight lines in that POS are terrible, so if you are behind one, give it a wide berth. When they change lanes, they may not see you. And they are monstrously heavy, so they will demolish another vehicle in a collision.

shee-rah's avatar

I’d like to see a demolition derby between two Muskmobiles.

Charles Austin's avatar

It wouldn't last very long.

Anne Whitney's avatar

It offends any aesthetic sensibility. For real. Saw one crossing a road in an upscale rural area and laughed. At least the previous white guy midlife crisis cars were a Lamborghini or some sweet Fiat or Triumph convertible. Something 😎. These things are proof that stupid is as stupid does.

Stephen Schiff's avatar

Inter alia, the appearance of the cybertruck documents the engineering stupidity of Tesla. All those hard corners are stress magnets, failure locales in the event of a large load (or crash).

Personally I think Skum instructed the design team to rank obnoxiousness as the primary aesthetic criterion.

HI2thDoc's avatar

I've said it before: I believe those who buy these butt ugly thingies are attention-seeking males who love musk, crypto, Joe Rogan, and wish they were more successful with women.

DuduLovesBubu's avatar

All that's missing in their life is a fleshlight shaped like a cybertruck.

HI2thDoc's avatar

Haha! Marketing idea! Tell Felon 47

Nightmaher's avatar

Every time I even see a Tesla I mumble what a fucken asshole they are.

longtimebirdwatcher's avatar

Three years ago these people were the hippest people in the California.

longtimebirdwatcher's avatar

They were not spending money on gas and oil fueled transportation, so of course they were more intelligent and hipper than most car buyers. Now the only good thing about it is that muck pays for their charging. I think most of the commenters here do not understand why EVs are good, but it has to do with helping to eliminate the climate crisis. But you could always buy other EVs, which it is what my family did. If you're still driving a gas fueled car, I can't help you and you shouldn't smirk at early Tesla sedan drivers. Those Tesla truck drivers could have bought Rivian trucks, which you see a fair amount of around the Bay Area, as opposed to those Tesla things.

Nancy Potter's avatar

And now, nothin' will class up your single-wide like parking an $80k Tesla in front of it.

Richard Von Busack's avatar

You got keys? Because it needed racing stripes

James Starr's avatar

here in La La land Ive been noticing swasticar owners removing the T emblem badge off their vehicles...no replacement, just bare nothing which I think speaks very loud !

MargaretT's avatar

Same here in Chicago suburbs. I spotted a debranded Tesla driving in front of me recently. At least it looked like one, and then I spotted the T emblem on the sloped underside below the trunk. (Apparently illegal in some states to completely remove a vehicle's identifying information?)

James Starr's avatar

debranded ! I like that...

Douglas Paul Truhlar's avatar

I love it so it’s then a generic ‘no label’ unbranded and shameful like Fruit Loops in a plain bag. My brother in law was permanently brain damaged due to fruit loops.

Teddy Gingerich's avatar

Because no one will know it's a swastikar of it doesn't have that fucking emblem. Riiiiiiiiiiight.

James Starr's avatar

it's symbolic ! Thought smart people would see that. Oh well

ooh...a middle finger stamp! I want one too!

Charles Austin's avatar

Does that ORANGE MESS have a DRIVERS LICENSE ?? I doubt it. He couldn't pass the test..practical or written. He can't read. Who would pass that MORON..maybe if he bought the damn thing..like his college degree...teeheee

HI2thDoc's avatar

Or pay someone to take the test for him, as Mary Trump said in her book for the ACT or SAT so he could transfer to U Penn. Notice that he never sued her for libel.

SeekingReason's avatar

No…felon-seditionist rapist can’t drive. He can just sit his ass in a car and look stupid, as usual.

Rich people don't need no stinkin' driver's licenses -- they've got chauffeurs and flunkies to drive them around.

Patrick Daniels aka Cromulent1's avatar

Know well of this George, thanks for the reminder!!

Nancy Potter's avatar

That's why he has to give it to his granddaughter. I'm sure the insurance premiums for a 17-year-old driving a cybertruck are more than most mortgage payments.

Mary A. Rose's avatar

Does he even know how to drive?

Lee Ann Vindasius's avatar

Elizabeth Schulz's avatar

1969 Road Runners are likewise fast and LOUD - with a Meep-Meep horn. Have one in our 'extra' garage (added on just to give it a safe home). All original VIN No's, papers and all. First brand-new car my husband bought with his Army discharge pay, coming home from Vietnam.. Oh, I could ride in it when we met but wasn't allowed to brush or comb my (then) waist-length hair. I didn't put up with that crap for very long, although he did keep it pristine. Had it gussied up a few years back so it looks as though it came off the showroom floor. ALL eyes turn to look when it's out for a turn around the block, wide smiles and applause on the Highway as well. It'd leave either of those teslas in the dust as it does any pumped-up magat trucks with their confederate flags.

Kathleen Weber's avatar

Hakeem doesn't matter today!

We are coming up on a Senate vote that will provide one of the few chances to throw a log in front of the Trump runaway train. Forty-one senators need to vote against a six-month CR which will give Trump an unfettered 6-month pass to smash more things. A one-month CR will give multiple chances to expose Trump as a bunch that is ignoring congressional budgets. It will also provide clear evidence that will support intervention by the courts.

Hakeem has already taken the Golden Sombrero....struck out ALL 4 times whilst standing there with the bat immobilized on his shoulder. He's a disappointment.

Write letters of support for Canada, Europe and most importantly Ukraine. Unless we use our voices to protest and protect those that need protection, we haven’t done enough, period!!

MargaretT's avatar

Actually the Illinois Democratic Representative, Sean Casten, from my district has been actively pushing back, and he has not been badgering constituents for donations. However, Reps carry less clout than my state's Democratic Senators, who seem to only focus on fundraising. Or when the Senators are working on legislation, the request fundraising for that. I must be missing something, as in I think they are already paid for doing their jobs, i.e., legislating. Some of the publicity might be considered campaigning and not "legislating" but nothing I could give them would really help.

Mary Greenwald's avatar

They are MSNBC complaining about Ukraine, etc., but vote AYE for Trump's stooges. Bunch of GRIFTERS.

Declan's avatar

The Democrats don't know how to evolve....they're still running campaigns like it's 1986 (when the went supine for St. Reagan) while the right wing has hundreds of think tanks/policy factories, own ALL the media ecosphere, have had billionaires allied with them & joined the world's despotic autocrats.

Who is going to enforce the Hatch Act? Oops, the executive branch? What do you want Democrats to do? Storm the Winter Palace? This was another flood the zone moment.

Susan Niemann's avatar

What do I want the Democrats to do? Plenty. I want them to speak out, maybe hold a press conference at least once a week, call this bullshit out. I want them to stay in front of the American people and state facts, educate and inform. I want town halls where Republicans wont hold any. Secretary Pete would be an outstanding choice to do this. I think there is a lot more they could do than they are currently doing, which is staying silent. The people will "eventually storm the winter palace."

Michael Guenon's avatar

Bernie has town halls. Crockett, Stansbury, Raskin, Murphy, et al have been speechifying in Congress and elsewhere. Bob Dylan said it, “Don’t follow leaders, watch the parking meters.” My wife and I attend protests, have removed ourselves from FB and IG, and detoxing from Amazon. Where we live, it is easy to shop local and small businesses. We have a Costco and Target, one good and one bad. Yes, Demo leadership is worse than useless. When you have a regime breaking all the rules of democratic governance with impunity, what does the establishment opposition do? New game. They have mastered the mediascape. We have to start at ground level.

Bernie...yes. He's getting positive response. Crockett, Stansbury, Raskin, Murphy...all excellent!

I want the Democrats to be out in front of cameras every single day talking about what the fuck is going on. They seem to be following James Carville's idea of staying quiet and letting the Republicans hang themselves but that is not working. It only makes it look like the Democrats have nothing to offer and are just going to let all of this happen so they can stand back when our country collapses and say, "Told ya so"? It will be way too late then.

I did get an email from Jamie Raskin suggesting that everyone send a FOIA request to dodgy to obtain any information they may have on you from all of their digging around. Flood them. Here's the link:

I guess I havent heard that screaming. This is a critical time when the "screaming"/educating needs to happen. We're about to lose it all. Schumer and Jeffries need to step aside. I'm convinced that Pete would be a perfect t choice to field questions, state facts, and provide logic. I guarantee that when social security checks fail to hit bank accounts, there will be a revolution.

Walt Svirsky's avatar

I agree, Susan. When the fascists in charge fail to produce our regularly scheduled SS checks, heads will roll. Mortgages and rent will go unpaid. Shelves will go bare and the maggoty MAGATS will all get a “FAFO certificate.”

insert_something_creative's avatar

I agree with this, but staying silent now makes it look like we were overreacting when we screamed for the last decade. It damages their credibility with the less-engaged Americans and makes us look like we're either full of shit or spineless. I get the impulse to let people touch the hot stove and I agree with it, we just need a lot more visibility for the ones who are taking this seriously (not Jeffries and Schumer).

I'd also like to see them articulate an alternate affirmative vision for the country. People are hurting and it's just going to get worse. Talk about universal healthcare, free child care, housing, and the fact that immigrants have made this country a superpower. Diversity is a strength, not a weakness. Talk about all the things we could have if we taxed the billionaires and disbanded the oligarchy. Bernie does this to an extent, but it's not enough. People want something to believe in.

I also want to see them hammer Republicans that the only reason they are cutting Medicare, Social Security, Medicaid, etc. is so they can provide even more tax breaks to the richest assholes in this country.

Sharon Hudnall's avatar

Union leaders need to get off their fat asses and condemn this bloody mess under Trump/Musk and their enablers in Congress and on the Supreme Court. Manufacturing and service jobs in this country will crater because of turd's rollercoaster tariffs. Not to mention savings and retirement accounts.

It doesn't seem to matter whether it's the Hatch Act, Emoluments Clause, rape, fraud, treason or whatever the crime is being committed. Emperor Anus Lips the Only continues to keep on crimin as promised and nobody in Congress gives a flying fuck. However, if Biden even pulled a tiny bit of this crap, the GOP MAGAs and media would've lost their shit at an epic level. We have to wonder, how much more of this shit circus will be allowed to continue without anyone even batting an eye?

I became a subscriber. I called to ask him to not support the bill and he did it. Not on account of my call but probably because many of us took the time to call.

Hey Greg, thanks, for this. Let’s spread the word. ✌️

Complicit much?… (can’t think of many other explanations but then maybe I straight up lack imagination) :/ ???

Where do you live, Susan? I hate to tell you, but until two months ago, the T was the most popular car in the Bay Area. We even have a pale pink one on our block. One of my husband's best friends has three of them. He won't get rid of them because it costs muck money every time he needs to fuel up at muck's little charging stations. We see many every time we go somewhere. However, we have solar on our roof (since 2016) and my son fuels his 2016 Bolt off the roof. Hasn't paid for gas in nine years. My husband fuels his 2024 Equinox that he started leasing last summer off the roof too (he figures the cost of the lease is the same as the gas for his old Acura.) Gas here is about $5 a gallon. We saw a muck truck on the freeway the other day, but they're rare, we saw a Rivian too, and we see at least one if we're driving in the South Bay or San Mateo County. Fun fact, AI/spellcheck doesn't recognize Rivian. Probably a majority of Democrats in the Bay Area are driving Priuses or Teslas, except for outliers like us that prefer cars made by American manufacturers.

Susan Niemann's avatar

I see them in Philly when I'm there but in rural NE Missouri.... no. The driver would be laughed out of the county! 😂😂😂

longtimebirdwatcher's avatar

Isn't that because they don't believe in electric cars, only in gas and oil?

Susan Niemann's avatar

Probably. This is Ford and Chevy country.

Dave Drell's avatar

Yeah, Missouri used to be a reasonable state with many blue politicians….

Susan Niemann's avatar

Claire McKaskill was wonderful. We miss her. Hawley is a Nazi. :(

Maybe it's because they are butt ugly and not a real truck.

Who cares if orange cat turd is upset? I don't really give a fuck. I just want him to die along with all the other feces in the litter box.

That cant happen soon enough. 🙄

The only reason I watch the news is to see if he's dead.

Kay-El's avatar

1. This radical left lunatic will never buy any of Elump’s Match Box toys. Sue me, asshole, I’ll keep my old Honda until I die or it does.

2 Props to the AP reporter. It’s about time someone held Leavitt’s feet to the fire. Now can other outlets follow suit since that wall’s been broken?

Susan Niemann's avatar

My Toyota has 92,000 + miles....and I'm driving it till the wheels fall off. Elon can fuck all the way off with his ugly shit cans.

Kay-El's avatar

Right? Mine has over 100,000. I suspect the kids will inherit it someday. 😂

T L Mills's avatar

Cripe, Kay-El...Your Honda is probably good for another 150,000 miles. I had a Honda CRV and I had well over 240,000 miles and she was still going strong when I sold her. It made me sad--I drove that car for 13 years.

Kay-El's avatar

Mine’s a CRV too. I’ve also had it for 13 years. I had a long commute when I was working and that car never let me down.

Tails's avatar

My husband had a CRV with 145k miles on it. We gave it to our son who's been driving it for the past 3 years with no issues. We bought a Honda Odyssey last Sept and love it.

Kay-El's avatar

My daughter is trying to talk me into getting a used car so she can have my CRV. She does field work, has taken it a few times and says it’s a champ.

T L Mills's avatar

Wow, Kay-El...same story here! My CRV had been made at the Swindon Motorworks in England so I always called her the Duchess--she was a champ, too. I had a commute of 42 miles one way and I often worked a 4p to midnight shift which had me driving around the backroads of Maine at 1 am. the Duchess never let me down--and when I put Arctic formulation rubber tires on her--I could drive through ANYTHING, including glare ice roads!

Kay-El's avatar

Love it! I had a 50 mile round trip (but no snow at that time) and drove some scary canyon roads to avoid the freeway. Never worried.

Rick Calegari's avatar

My reliable Highlander has over 122,000 miles and the Forerunner I drove was over 211,000 before I sold it. I wouldn't drive one of Smuk's shit wagons even it was for free.

Susan Niemann's avatar

They are built to run! I drive back and forth to Philly from Missouri and this car seems to thrive on it.

Douglas Paul Truhlar's avatar

I have a Torota Prado equal to the Lexus Prado and the tax on it was 50% you could call it a tariff in Costa Rica but it’s part of the deal here. There is LAFTA Latin America free trade agreement cover all thing traded amongst about 6 countries and they make almost anything imaginable.

Peaceful Mary T.'s avatar

My 2008 Scion xB (made by Toyota) just rolled over to 105k yesterday and runs perfectly. It looks like hell (peeling clear-coat, oxidized paint, and some cracked weatherstripping due to all this lovely California sunshine) but she keeps on running! No fascist-mobiles for me!

Susan Niemann's avatar

Hide the peeling and cracks with Fuck Trump bumper stickers. 😂😂😂

Wendymae's avatar

I had a Rav4 with 180,000 miles and mechanically was still going strong. I only sold it because the upholstery and vinyl were starting to fall apart. I sold it to someone who ships older vehicles to Africa and I like to imagine that over 10 years later it's still going strong somewhere.

HI2thDoc's avatar

2000 Camry with 155,000+ miles, this on an island. Toyota 4 cylinder 5S-FE very reliable. No engine repairs ever. Never even had to repair or recharge the A/C in 25 years.

You could be dead and buried by the time that Toyota.

I'mwe have 2 subis with almost 200 on each, one is 2001 and the other is 2005, no plans to buy anything new if we can keep them running. 🤞

SeekingReason's avatar

I bought a Tesla 3 before Elon went Nazi but I now have stickers & window cling stating my anti F-Elon sentiments. He didn’t even invent Tesla, so he is destroying the work of those who had the brains to do this. F’ing pathetic!

Kay-El's avatar

Yep. I know a few people who bought them before Elump went full Nazi. No judgment.

good thing this ain't twitter where I'd get another time-out for talking hypothetically about slappable faces (forget her feet)

Musk is such a dumbass , and now Donald ( who doesn’t even drive a fucking car ) now owns a Tesla and then tries to tell the world that illegally boycotting Tesla is wrong and criminal. Time to STFU Donny ShotSwizzler. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/it-has-been-a-bad-week-so-far-for

Joanne Beck's avatar

Boycotting anyone who supported this circus parade is a good deed done.

Ann Anderson's avatar

Has Donny EVER driven a car? Hell, no. Driving is manual labor. That's for the little people (unless it's a golf cart, that's allowed.)

Michael Guenon's avatar

And on to putting surfaces aka greens

Stephen Brady's avatar

But only where he is allowed to drive the cart on the greens...

Terri Nighswonger's avatar

I’m am sure frump would not have the ability to drive a car. 🚙

Douglas Paul Truhlar's avatar

This will be all over very soon, don’t worry China will win in a landslide their new releases will dominate!

Dave Drell's avatar

He would fail the drivers road test at the

DMV.

Dotty's avatar

You have to be able to read to take the driving test (or at least understand rules) he can't do either ,so he'll only be able to drive around the WH building. And since those vehicles are fire traps ....the doors only open with the battery working ... And let's not get into how many people have burned up inside their faulty vehicles ...we can only hope ....he succumbs to being a another victim of his own demise . Dangerous people don't care about putting a safe car in others hands . The sale and money is all that counts .

Toronto is very familiar with Tesla death traps. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/fatal-crash-four-dead-lake-shore-cherry-1.7361751

We also got the Trump Tower here to change it's name many years ago.

I doubt that Donny has a driver’s license. He’s always been a chauffeured bubble boy.

Wendy The Druid 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🌈's avatar

This is likely true. I cant imagine he would be bothered with driving anything greater than a golf cart.

Brilliant on noting that Tax Payer money paid for that Tesla.

Fascists drumpf and skum gonna make it like E Germany in the Cold War, where the ONLY car the masses (who could scrape together enough) could buy was a POS called a Trabant, with 40s-50s era design. Most of them had a 2-stroke engine. In an automobile. Notice that the Commie Party apparatchiks drove Benzes that they bought from evil capitalist West Germany.

Sharon Hudnall's avatar

As shitty as Russian cars are, you can bet Putin's ass is chauffered around in a bulletproof Benz and he'll never see the interior of a Tesla.

My favorite LOL moment was when Leavitt scolds the AP reporter for questioning her “knowledge” of economics after telling him that tariffs are a tax CUT for Americans. Only the best! Krasnov hires only the best people! 🤣🤣🤣

Kathy J's avatar

I had to verify it, but she got her bachelor's degree in communications and politics. She is not an economist. The gall of that foolish twat. I had heard about her run for Congress in 2022. Still, I had to refresh my memory of some unsavory details. I will copy what I found for anyone interested in understanding more about the "upstanding character" she possesses. (I find sarcasm eases discussing these wretches). Per Wikipedia: "In 2022, Leavitt faced a Federal Election Commission complaint from End Citizens United alleging Leavitt's campaign and treasurer illegally accepted campaign donations over the legal limit and never repaid her donors.[24] In January 2025, Leavitt disclosed in 17 amended campaign filings $326,370 in unpaid campaign debts she had failed to disclose for several years.[24] Roughly $200,000 of the debt was composed of illicit campaign donations made in excess of campaign finance limits she never paid back, in violation of campaign finance laws. " All of these people are sewer clowns, every damn one of them.

But he hates electric vehicles right? Drill baby drill. One of the only possible upsides of this shit show is that you are awash in material and we get to revel in your brutal takedowns of the buffoon in chief and his clown car of side kicks. You are crucial to our sanity. There’s also the perverse pleasure of watching them screw themselves - repeatedly. It’s a gift (again perversely) that keeps on giving. You can call up the memory when you need a smile and a pick me up. One of my favorite replays of late is the clip of Zelensky playing rope a dope with MTG’s latest, stupid she is, new boyfriend. In the midst of an ambush by trump and vance no less. It was a master class and it gives me a boost. Like your daily doses of whoop ass.

longtimebirdwatcher's avatar

All magas hate EVs. Gas, oil, and air pollution are their things. I see from the comments that most of the people here prefer, gas, oil, and air pollution, not to mention their consequence, the climate crisis, to driving EVs. If my family can do it in the Bay Area, on low incomes, I guess our priorities are more survivalist than yours. Don't think the Bay Area is going to save you. We don't get warnings for our major disaster, earthquakes. We have to be prepared all the time. Now I understand why democrats have the leadership they do. Boy, this has been a disappointing morning.

I LOVE my non-Tesla EV. Best purchase I ever made. My solar panels charge it. I will never own a gas powered car again

Jeff, I’m so confused.. Yesterday our King was selling cars from the WH lawn…. So what’s next? Selling gold sneakers from the Oval? Or perhaps Donald’s bit coins from the WH library? Things just keep getting weirder and weirder. Another point from Russian TV the other night courtesy of Julia Davis..seems the hosts of their version of “The Five” call our director of Intelligence “our girl” “is she really a Russian agent?” Finally EU is targeting Red States on the issue of tariffs, just like Mexico and Canada. Hey MAGAS… how do you like the new world order now? Best to all.

Walt Svirsky's avatar

Is it time to discuss Karolyn’s Leavitt? She has been in place for a mere 6 weeks and she has already put Sean Spicer to shame. This gal is the Princess of Prevarication. She not only lies with impunity, she does it with MAGATY gusto.

Yep, and just like Sarah Silvertongue Sanders before her, she's an exhibitionist Xtian

I'm not surprised he hasn't noticed that little bit of (mostly water) Minnesota that sticks up into Canada—but then again, Minnesota has always gone blue so he never looks at it.

Gina's avatar

I'm concerned about the part of Canada (southern Ontario) that sticks down into the US, and which could be easily annexed via one of those straight lines

Dina's avatar

Canada could retaliate by annexing that little bit on MN—but then Minnesota wouldn't be the furthest north of the lower 48 anymore.

Some wit on the Internet called Trump the highest earning car salesman in America, when shortly after the commercial on the lawn, Musk gave Trump's PAC $100 million dollars.
