    Making choices in the “free market” of capitalism:

    • A car that will destroy your health, community, planet, etc.
    • A fascist car that will destroy your health, community, the planet slightly slower, etc.

    Remember: Without a car you will live in poverty and isolation at best.

    Implying the vast majority of their voter base can even afford Tesla’s.

    The ones that do would have to forgo owning a huge lifted truck which I guess would also be a benefit.

    It’s still not going to even come close to bail Elon out of the situation he’s in on account of so many big export markets now refusing to buy his shit, so he’s fucked regardless. No-win for him, all-win for us

    Simply buy a cybertruck and put a generator in the back that’s constantly running to charge it.

      That would still make them cleaner than a diesel ICE truck. Since the generator can continuously run at a constant rpm where the engine burns the fuel efficiently. So that would also generate the least particulate matter since the burn would be cleaner.

      There is a Canadian company called Edison who will retrofit a truck into a hybrid. They add two electric axle engines and convert the IC engine into a generator to charge the batteries.

        With all the ICE cars in use, I would love to see hybrid retrofitting go mainstream

      There are videos that walk through how to “de-pussify” (or some other misogynistic term) cyber trucks to make them run on diesel. I don’t know enough about cars or cyber trucks to know how valid they are.

        That’s hilarious. I’m guessing it would end up about as structurally sound as this

    Judging by the effects of the market on Tesla stock, I really don’t think this is the struggle that the meme suggests it is.

    I was wondering about this earlier today. How to they reconcile “Elon is God” with “Electrification goes against my fReEdOm”?!

    I think they should go for it and buy the 21st century Pinto. No one, not a soul, is laughing at them. I swear.

      Hey now, the Pinto at least had to be in an accident first before it would blow up.

    Thanks to pollution credits, Elon gets paid regardless of whether they choose to drive an EV.

    Click both, get a hybrid

    People on the internet who obsess with left-right politics are a psyop, including maga grifters who think discourse about the environment is a lib-thing.

      They aren’t. Because there is no American left with any power.

      Everything is polarized between “I affirm your identity as you die in a cardboard box under a freeway due to market forces” extreme right(D) and “get into the fucking gas chamber” Fascist®.
