Update I found the OP https://twitter.com/SnazzyQ/status/1434936396096028674
The people that buy these things tend to be really like.....domesticated. You have to live somewhere where there are tons of them to know exactly what I'm talking about, but it's like the same energy as the Capitol residents in the Hunger Games
just off in like their own Disney reality
"I know the quality of the overpriced product I bought is garbage, but that's okay because the company that made it is known for quality and they're my best friend."
I love how all these dipshit Tesla owners pat themselves on the back for "saving the planet" when having an electric car has only a negligible effect on the environment. Yet they could spend the same money or less on solar panels like right now and actually make an impact. But you can't slap bumper stickers on solar panels and drive it to Starbucks so.... fuck actually doing something, let's all pile into my super non-efficient, made like shit electric car.
Most environmentally friendly way to purchase a car is to buy a second hand car with good fuel mileage, reliability and safety, and drive it for as long as possible until it falls apart basically. But that's not cool and fancy, so let's buy brand new Teslas everybody!
Even if you don't give a fuck about cooking the planet, it's also unshockingly the most cost efficient way to drive a car, as well.
"But all the other PMC's will make fun of me for driving a second hand econobox! What ever should I do!!11"
I mean newer cars do tend to be safer, but you can find recent used cars (like built in the last 10-15 years) with 5 star euro NCAP safety ratings. Just need to do your research
Pretty much every major manufacturer has a "pre-owned" certification they'll attach to used cars that are in good condition and have low mileage. I think a lot of them are cars that people lease when brand new, but then return after 1-2 years. Knocks the price down and you get assurance that you aren't buying a lemon, something that's been through an accident and has rags for airbags, etc.
Not as cheap or environmentally friendly as getting a 2010 Corolla or something, but easily better than buying new if the concern is safety.
Just look for something with side airbags. Check the seats for SRS tags and the A pillar and under the steering wheel.
If it's got bags in all those places it's a perfectly safe car for most accidents.
Toyota avalon with LPG conversion yeehaw
Literally took it as a hand-me-down from dad and drove it to 400,000km before i fucking totalled it when someone cut me off
It's kinda wild how as time progresses, you see less and less mid-late 2000s cars selling on the used markets and tons of 90s and 00s cars still.
I guess a lot of people could just be driving their later model cars into the ground, but it honestly feels like the ones right before everything was hyper technologied up are sticking around forever.
I've had good luck with Honda and Mitsubishi so far
My last lancer lasted until 175k when it got stopped by an f150 lol
hahahah i fucking knew that some dipshit would twist a post like this to an opportunity to spread misinformation promoting ICEs
https://www.carbonbrief.org/factcheck-how-electric-vehicles-help-to-tackle-climate-change
Please tell me in what world is buying a brand new Tesla more environmentally friendly than buying a second hand car. Of course electric engines are much, much more efficient and environmentally friendly than ICEs, I never claimed otherwise, but that doesn't account for the rest of the car, and the resources needed to build it. Nevermind no one can afford a Tesla anyway.
Also the whole point is though that when you buy a second hand car, a new car is not being manufactured, so it eliminates that blue manufacturing bar at the bottom of the graph from the equation. And how many Tesla owners will actually drive their car for 150 000km/94 000 miles before buying a new car, which is the measurement the study is using to measure lifetime emissions? Not much, these people get a new car every two years like it's a smartphone or something.
There are plenty of post 2003 vehicles with no surveillance and repairability issues. My 2014 Mitsubishi is basically a monkey wrechable shitbox with a hacked together Bluetooth headunit.
I decompiled the firmware for it and it's literally so poorly coded and designed that I'd be amazed if they managed to get anything out of it lol. It literally ships with emacs installed because whoever built it never pulled that package from the final build lmao
The dude in the tweet literally talks about his "other Tesla". They buy the newest model whenever it comes out.
Same here, but do you really think your average Tesla owner is going to hold onto a car for that long. Especially when Tesla releases a new model? These people are like cultists for Elon Musk and Tesla
above is incorrect on two accounts, and this comment identical to fossil lobby talking points. i expect much greater diligence in consumer-centered carbon politics from this site.
Again, your article is measuring the emissions over the course of 150 000km/94 000 miles. How many Tesla owners, do you think, are going to drive their cars for that long before buying a new one? I can tell you now it's not many. And the whole point in the argument of buying a second hand car is that there is not a need for a new car to be manufactured. The whole point is that your average Tesla owner (not EVs in general, Tesla) is not really doing much here.
:cringe:
Interesting article, but what a trash way to talk to a comrade. You're not on reddit.
A lot of them are the same type of people who will upgrade to the newest model or upgrade every few years too. Totally undoing any of the so called environmentalism they pretend to care about. I mean Tesla itself is a horrible polluter, so I don't even agree with claims they are good for the environment for the most part. They've defrosted places, they've literally dumped toxic waste into waters and grounds among dozens of other things.
not only that, but: www.blackenterprise.com/black-ex-tesla-employee-awarded-more-than-1-million-after-company-fails-to-stop-supervisors-from-calling-him-the-n-word/amp/
Yeah, there is other people out there with the same exact story-- this is still an ongoing thing! And they fired a guy who complained about racism, nothing happened after months of reports so he emailed Musk and within the week he was fired. Musk's response was so dogshit, he told him to grow a thicker skin! And after he was fired he had to walk home miles cause he was no long an employee so they wouldn't let him use the shuttle to get home
I enjoyed this reply
“but for ___, it’s good” is something you should be saying about a particularly fresh mcchicken, not an expensive car
They somehow managed to paint the fucking tyres. On a 54k car. I thought GM was bad, but holy crap what is this? What the hell happened to American manufacturing?
Not blaming the workers of course, but what is Elon smoking?
What the hell happened to American manufacturing?
I've definitely said this before about Burger Kings Spicy chicken. One time the patty was so overdone it was hard to chew so I cut it up with a knife and ate it work a fork cause I was so hungry lol
Gonna find a cheap 3D printer and make some Telsa decals, slap them on some used vehicles picked up from auction and list em on ebay just to see what would happen.
Wtf are those panel gaps a 20 year old Toyota Tazz is built better than that pile of kak
Is that paint spray on the bloody tyres? Unbelievable.
Also the model Y starts at 54k USD now, so yeah. 54k USD for that.
I checked their website to see the price and the whole thing just screams silicon valley techbro in the worst way possible. Like I thought they were trying to sell me a MacBook or something at first. But no it's a car. At the price starts at 54k, without any of the extras. Our bud on twitter here probably paid 60k+ for that. Unbelievable. Do people really fall for this marketing?
It's just so weird. This kind of stuff hasn't really arrived in my country yet. No Teslas here
60k without tax and registration. Assuming Tesla doesn't charge him extra so that he could get his vehicle earlier. And he wouldn't be getting federal tax credit either.
So the second cheapest car they offer. And people wonder why no one thinks that Tesla is a serious solution to emissions and climate change. No one can afford this shit!
A VW ID.4 is cheaper with similar storage capability of an SUV. You get tax credit for it in the US. Both state and federal. There are plenty of options for an electric car. Even from the Koreans. But Tesla fanboys only buy it for the fact that it's a Tesla and they can be smug about it.
TFL Car on YouTube bought a Model Y and the rear door handle which if you know, isn't the traditional pull type, stopped working. They had to call the Tesla mechanic again and again to repair it when it stopped working. There's no inner latch to open it either and the emergency switch for the rear door is hidden away at the bottom of the rear door behind the front passenger. The reviewers(the channel owners) and some of the comments were still saying it's not that big of a deal like lmfao you're dead if you need to exit the vehicle immediately and the door won't open.
"But does it accelerate to 60mph in under 3.5 seconds? Checkmate losers!"
I searched and the Tesla model Y actually does do it in 3.5 seconds. The Volkswagen ID 4 does it in 6. But why the fuck does a family SUV need supercar acceleration? Recipe for accidents
"Sounds bad but for Tesla it's good"
So um...what the fuck does that say about Tesla's quality?
Marx failed to take into account how far absolute shitbrains would simp for capitalism
To be fair, feudal peasants never simped for their monarchs this hard...
I'd return a PC case if it had misaligned panels, why do Tesloids put up with this?
The number of people who would willingly eat Elon's shit is greater than zero and that will haunt me forever.
It does make me feel better. :sicko-wholesome:
Thank you, comrade :heart-sickle:
Idk but I think it has to do with the cuckification of the average capitalism enjoyer
i guess you gotta rationalise it somehow after you spent like 60k usd on a shitty car
It's wild he can stick a whole finger through it, like that is really fuckin bad, how in the world is that even remotely acceptable is beyond me. It's guaranteed to have water damage as soon as it rains
It’s guaranteed to have water damage as soon as it rains
That's not rust, it's the patina of a naturally aged Tesla™
No, that's a good thing, because it will incentivize me to get the next model sooner rather than later.
Someone needs to remake this with a cantaloupe for botanical accuracy
in the future musk inhabits all things, including fruit.
Imagine spending that much money on a car made in a tent that isn’t some sort of boutique sports car that is expected to fall to pieces as part of its inherent “charm”.
In the thread he posted he spent $400 just to be able to use his garage door opener with the Tesla lol
Luxury car brand Tesla doesn’t even have CarPlay, it came out 7 years ago :melon-musk:
40000 for a lithium coffin that will burst into flames if left in the sun for an hour
