thought so.
Crossposting it here since I found the original tweet instead of the censored version.

Pretty sure that the most environmentally friendly car (even w/r/t climate change) is the one you already own. It just uses up so much resources and pollution to build a car, better to just use the one you have till it can't go any more.
But then you wouldn't be able to express your individuality through consumer choices!
Changing a compressor isn't any harder than changing any other part of the AC. The cost in parts it almost always below $200, including incidental things like new refrigerant. The main thing that makes it a pain is you need the right equipment to do it right. You have to use a vacuum pump to suck out all the air before you introduce new refrigerant. Any moisture left in will cause corrosion and eat at the seals, and then you will have a leak in a few years.
If you don't do it with the proper tools, you will still have working ac for a few years, and then leaky AC for a few more before it needs fixing again. Completely worth it on cheap junker cars you don't expect to last another decade.

Imagine YOUR child being taught humanities by an Elon stan.
TSLA and Doge investor
well, there it is. twitter is just an endless stream of pump and dump scams
Teslas are still shit for the environment
Consuming can't solve a problem caused by consumption.
Consuming can’t solve a problem caused by consumption.
Bullshit. I buy a new Tesla every year just to do my part.
consumption can't solve a problem caused by bourgeois overproduction*
unless you vote with your wallet :liberalism:
consuming is taking climate action and the more you consume the more climate actiony it is
may I make an addendum?
Consuming can't solve a problem caused by production.
I think it's important to stress the productive end. People hear "consumption" and think they are being chastised just for existing in a society.
Either this woman lying on her son, or her son has successfully guilt tripped his mom into getting a Tesla. Either way, not a normal family
Also, even if you can make a flimsy case that Teslas help the environment, it's all irrelevant because cars in general need to be rid of. Car ownership is only set to exponentially increase, so any emissions gains are going to be wiped out by the amount of pollution being emitted by mining. And that's the best case scenario
:desolate: slowly realizing that these are probably real, delusional people in this twitter.com thread is probably the most depressing thing I've seen in a while. Dear god. These people are fucking insane.
Teenage me was initially a Bazinga brain but for one reason: "Look at Elon Musk, he's making environmentalism cool! Now maybe people might start giving a shit! He released his patents to the public! AND he supports same-sex marriage!"
Then I turned 18.
Imagine The Truman Show. Global phenomenon, all of earth tuning in 24/7, people forming weird parasocial relationships with the characters. The whole thing. BUT it takes place on Mars. And instead of Truman being a sympathetic victim, he's all of the worst people you know. Anyone with too much dog money and not enough sense. They're all in an extremely complex environment akin to building a base in Antarctica where any mistake can kill them all. Simultaneously, they have to figure out how to make a libertarian utopia while hundreds or even thousands of people are permanently separated from everything they knew. Total psychic fuckin' chaos. The mayor is a White South African with a capital W who currently runs Willy Wonka factories for cars that fall apart. His employees are grouped as those who hear slurs 100x per day and those who finally get to say slurs but can't form a union. He can't be voted out because the town thinks he's a benevolent god and so does he.
plus the gravity isnt right, so your bones get weaker everyday. And it cost $1million/kilo for supplies and they take 2 years to arrive, with 10% chance they just crash into the side of the planet when they do.
can't keep terra in terra form, so let's try terraforming something two years of hard vacuum away
My old boss said he wanted his son to grow up to be the first governor of Mars :cringe:
Lol, the first person in charge of Mars will be Elon's head in a mech suit or a stressed-out corporate puppet. There won't be democracy there.
