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.

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.

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.

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.

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>

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!

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).

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.

Democrats have been screaming from the rooftops for 10 years, and they screamed loudest during the 2024 campaign. Even today, after two months of insanity, people aren't ready to hear what they have to say. The country is still sleeping comfortably. Many believe Republicans are "good for business" or that "Democrats are just as bad" as Republicans. Those attitudes might be changing, but we're not quite there yet. Sadly, many people can't see the suffering of others unless it affects them directly. And that might be happening soon. They might be ready to hear it then.

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.

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.

I want the Democrats to be out in front of cameras every single day talking about what the fuck is going on.

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.

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.
