    Pretentious quasi-profound music, check.

    Pretentious lifestyle model douchebag protagonist, check.

    Mysteriously empty roads and landscape that every lead-brained :grillman: expects for themselves but has perpetual road rage in real life instead of accepting he was lied to, check.

    Whole Foods shopping style of greenwashing, check.

    WHAT THE FUCK IS MOVEMENT THAT INSPIRES AND WHO WAS PAID MILLIONS TO COME UP WITH THAT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

    Not even an electric car lmao. The green-washing has gotten so intense recently. Every single awful thing now has green-washing campaigns for it. Coca-Cola has ads about how renewable its plastic bottles are (reminder, plastic is basically not recyclable, even in the parts of the country that actually have recycling, which is like nowhere).

    :agony-shivering:

    And they're just allowed to do this insidious psychological manipulation with no repercussions or pushback from anyone. Every car ad is also like this where it's out in nature and has an "eco" vibe, despite being completely the opposite. Just another way this country is irredeemably evil and disgusting.

    YouTube comments on the ad are fun :comfy: .

    this is the latest version of that Pepsi riot ad, completely devoid of any functional meaning besides looking like a slick 'reel' that an 'influencer' would post to show off how great they are

    to top it all off, the car is not fuel efficient in the slightest, not electric or even hybrid, just your standard ICE SUV that gets at best 27 MPG

    Ugly car too. Apparently you also need to use capacitive touch to switch between infotainment and AC.
