Embarrassed Teslas Drivers Buying Huge Numbers of Anti-Elon Bumper Stickers

People who own Cybertrucks might as well fly giant Trump and Elon flags. Fuck every single one of them.

I call them Cyberbacks. They aren't trucks they are bloated hatchbacks.

Because I bought a $60k car in 2018 that still works fine, and replacing a fully functional vehicle is a huge expense to undertake.

Because people either don't care or don't care enough to pay more for another EV

He left trumps orbit last time he was president because Trump withdrew from the Paris Accord.

Now he doesn't give a fuck about that or similar things.

He's definitely more crazy / things changed.

I dont remember a time where I both knew of him and thought he was a sane or rational person.

Cybertruck with a cardboard box over it, full Snake.

Debadging Teslas is definitely a thing. Back when they were rare, nobody could clock the model without the logo.

warthog shell for the cybertruck.

It could be this generation’s Lamborghini Fiero mod.

Yep. Elons always been a massive piece of shit.

The idiots who've spent the past decade slobbing all up and down his knob have just willfully turned a blind eye to it cause they subjugated themselves to his derranged cult of personality, that was built all around the idea of his "saviour of humanity" bullshit with regards to his stupid rockets and electric cars.

Along those lines, the sticker shop from the story has since come out with one that says "I bought this before we knew Elon was crazy."

I'm just glad Tesla costs more than I can afford. Makes it very easy for the vast majority of us poor plebes to continue to not own one.

I so wanted a Chevy Bolt though.

I always knew he was crazy, but I never thought he was “kill democracy” crazy. It’s a spectrum.

This is often my thought process when I have to interact with a big company. If I never did any business that would benefit a bad person, I’d basically have to live in a hut in the woods.

However, there are degrees. For years I was sure a model 3 performance would be the perfect next car for me, but now like many people I don’t think I’ll ever be able to stomach owning a Tesla. The Musk connection has blown way past being embarrassing, and now buying one of those damn cars feels like supporting or at least accepting some horrible parts of humanity.

It’s not even a matter of hurting Musk’s bottom line, even though that would be nice. It’s about self respect, trying to put positivity into people’s lives instead of negativity, and being able to look my kid in the eye when he’s an adult and remembers the fucked up years we’re about to endure. I want absolutely zero to do with normalizing fascism and bigotry, even when it comes to something so mundane as the logo on my car.

This ^^

All the CEOs are assholes. The American car companies should’ve collapsed, but instead took a bailout and wasted it. The American consumer benefited basically nothing from the bailout.

Yeah, not all people who do bad things are equal. I can't think of many worse people in this world than Elon, and his husband Donald Trump.

Exactly, why even try? Just give up and say fuck the world.

The rescue divers were the first real public turning point. He has always been crazy, but he tried really, really, really hard to project a cool-uncle, anti-establishment persona online before that.

I think he eventually just realized he was rich enough to stop caring and so he stopped pretending.

Teslas have been sold since 2005

I'll always remember how surprised most of us were when he turned out to be a shitbag while those kids in Thailand were stuck in a cave. I had no opinion on him until then.

Some people never heard. I see a lot of people accusing people of not listening, but for the first couple years I heard anything about Musk I didn't hear any negatives. I wasn't looking him up, I'd just see a joke or meme, and since I didn't care much I probably didn't even go into comments. I think the first real negative news I heard was the sub pedo incident.

Maybe the Model E Model 3 S3X thing, but at worst I considered that an immature joke and didn't think much further about it, nor heard anyway say anything seriously negative about it.

I mean... the subscription is just for internet service and it's really cheap. But yeah, I get it. It's quite dumb that they don't just support the standard because "they're different"

Not defending Tesla, but standalone Android Auto/CarPlay units are a thing and work in every car. They even make devices designed for Teslas that connect to the existing screen. Or you can stick with a standalone that matches the interior of the car.

Never understood why people complain about sound systems in their cars, when it's one of the easiest components to replace (other than your tires or an air filter, of course). All you need is a screwdriver, a wiring harness, and maybe a mounting kit (depending on the car). I have yet to run into a vehicle that couldn't have its stereo upgraded or replaced, even modern ones that are integrated into the vehicle. (Look up a device called "Maestro".)

Problem is, most Telsa owners still have cars that have many good years left in them, and buying a different new or pre owned EV will be a hit to the pocket book. Especially after selling a rapidly depreciating Tesla.

I get why people are saying “fuck it, I’ll put a sticker on it.” Selling and buying a new car isn’t a thing many people want to do at the drop of a hat. I

We might be neighbors

They will once people start putting swastikas them

So where do you think that car goes when you sell it?

Why do they buy cars? To make political statements or to pollute less?

They'd wear it around their shoulder if it was light enough.
