The original ad was "you wouldn't steal a car", the "you wouldn't download a car" phrase is a meme
Oh yeah, still dumb, which is why it got memed. They compare a lot of physical theft to downloading movies but like shoplifting a movie and downloading a movie are obviously different things, nevermind stealing a car
This isn't the first time I've seen someone eat this particular onion. You hate to see it.
You're right, but the reason they otherwise wouldn't have paid for it is, in a lot of cases, the price. They otherwise wouldn't have paid full price for it, but they possibly would have bought it for some amount less. For example, if I think a game looks interesting but it costs too much, I'll pirate it. If I like it and later it's on sale for a price I think is reasonable, I'll buy it.
Price isn't the only reason, but it is a major one.
Convenience is definitely one of the biggest factors too.
Honestly it's hilarious to think about how piracy dropped when the first few streaming services came out, but once every company made their own service with exclusive content, it shot back up.
I've always hated how I was born too early to 3D print all the illegal drugs I want on some super advanced molecular printer. This is the future, and this future includes SWAT teams shooting your dog at 2 AM because you downloaded schematics to print Ketamine.
if we could download cars they’d have draconian EULAs and we could lose access to it for not fully enjoying the ads or some shit
Please don't give Tesla any more bad ideas.
I’m getting a car repack
You download a car, it is faster and more efficient, and the radio only plays demoscene music.
I can’t let myself even dream of such a utopia, because life would be so bland and empty without living in it.
In this scenario someone would have already come up with an open-source creative commons car that you could edit to fit your specific needs as a driver.
One of the best dunks I've ever seen on those commercials

I 3D printed a piece for my arm rest, it had two compartments and one would never latch and dump all of my shit everywhere so i had a guy make me a piece. I asked him if we could just 3d print the rest of the car and he said we arent too far off. Mentioned some one actually made a car using an industrial sized one, but also mentioned it looked like shit.
One day!
