Lol, Finland
For having decent vehicle inspection standards like here?
Why would you even want to drive in this. It looks like one of those simplified models you'd use in a video game for faraway cars to increase performances
you WILL ride the slopmobile made by Indian engineers with the assistance of ChatGPT and Copilot
Why the unrelated picture of the cybertruck? We dont even have those here.
>>221293307Sometimes I hear about some liking their car looking a bit offensively ugly. Think about the front grilles on cars for the mainland chinese market
>>221293307>>221293362Might be a nouveau riche "look at meee" kind of thing
>>221293307kek
Teslas would be nice if their interior wasn't designed by/for iToddlers
>>221293445Their seats are allright, the rest is 90's souless scifi inspired, somebody should suggest Elon to move on...
>>221293362Some are already for sale here, not my cup of tea...
>>221293307I while ago I thought about it and concluded that the cybertruck is the perfect car for a ramming style terrorist attack. The incredibly fast acceleration and torque means you can quickly gather kinetic energy, the low center of gravity and sport type handling are good for swerwing about and maximizing the amount of targets struck. The great weight means it maintains momentum even after plowing into a thick crowd, and those caught under the wheels are surely crushed. And those sharp edges are just brutal.As a final bonus the car is genuinely resistant to typical 9mm handgun fire, meaning that police and security personell will have a hard time killing you and stopping your rampage.Just imagine crashing this thing into an open air concert venue and just going about the crowd in a spiral pattern. You could kill hundreds with this thing.
>>221293108Electric vehicles in general fared worse than gas machines this round. The explanation is that they don't have same kind of distance based maintenance plans, so people don't realize they need to fix the frame and other parts with wear tear. Many people also treat the inspection as maintenance shopping list. You drive in not expecting to pass and take the list of faults to the repair shop. That said Tesla's result was still pretty bad, probably due to its immaturity as a car maker.
I would take what he says with a grain of salt. Heavily politcized account who smears all his opponents as Russians shills. Tries to influence American politics.
>>221293445>>221293527>Tesla got mogged by Chinese EVsWhen will they learn?
>>221293108No thanks, I'll keep my Alfa 159 sedan
Political bullshit thread
>>221293605based elon making a modern killdozer
>>221293857>cars are too political!
>>221293669Likely has more to do with Teslas not really being designed for the conditions we have which will show up as a higher need for maintenance.
>>221293978European car industry should improve its carsEuropean countries should improves their economiesThis socialist way of doing everything over framing the narrative is tiresome and pernicious. No wonder economical losers like Finland and Germany indulge in it
>>221293605>ramming style terrorist attackif you want to ram and self immolate The batteries are a structural element, once any damage causes a thermal runaway and the power fails, you have precious few seconds to remove the plastic covering the emergency door release in the storage cubby
>>221294021What framing narrative? There is a test, some cars fail it more often that others. Stop projecting.
>>221294095The batteries are relatively well protected under the car. Any type of extreme damage that compromises the underbelly and the battery would likely already be mechanically crippling for a standard car, so I dont really count it as notable flaw in our terrorist scenario.
>>221294260that is not a flaw, that's a bonus
>>221294007When this was in the news many months ago and they interviewed mechanics and inspectors or something, their take was that the wheel attachments on Teslas aren't really designed beefy enough. The cars weigh a lot, and then you have the instant torque that electric motors produce
>>221294696>When this was in the news many monthsThe OP story is from yesterday.
>>221294742Must have been statistics from last year or so then, either way it was more of the same basically
>>221293558THIS is the nouveau riche mobileteslas are more yuppy adjacent
>>221293398Aren't Lamborghini, Ferrari, Porsche nouveau riche cars?
>>221295530Sport cars in general are, but even noveau rich aren't going to use lambo as their daily drive.
>>221293108why do they insist on making to stupidly squareit's like a low poly 3d from 2000s video game
>>221294146What do you mean projecting? My country is so popular, especiallly among rich Norwegians that we're trying to cap population at 10 millionWe also have people snitching on, bitching and bashing Elon Musk. But I would gladly remove them from our premises
>>221296043There is no "framing narratives" or "Elon Musk bashing" in the fact that Teslas have been doing very poorly in roadworthiness inspections lately t. different
>>221296043he's not involved in le saving America anymore, you don't have to simp for him
>>221293362I would absolutely drive one of these things precisely because it's so stupid. I have no interest in pickups or SUVs but this one is silly so it's fun. I would take it a step further and wrap it in an itasha livery
