The Swastidumpster has the Best Armored Windows

I thought this was aneurysm posting for a minute.

Bet they did it themselves

Spends 100k on the ugliest car ever produced. Literally cannot string a sentence togather. Has reproduced.

His problem is that he's stringing too many sentences together.

5 years ago I would have called the guy writing the message a bot

Now I know for sure that he not, because he is less intelligent than a bot.

I'm probably being prejudiced here, but I'm a little irked that someone who won't put a coherent sentence together is complaining about the persecution of their $100k Nazi vehicle.

At least in the US people routinely get predatory loans for cars with super long terms to make the monthly payment lower. A base model cybertruck is "only" like $70k so at 7.3% APR and a 7 year loan you can get that down to $900 a month, which is still a lot of money but some people make bad financial decisions of this level all the time, and I would imagine the people who would buy a cubertruck are more likely to be in this group than not.
- The US car market sounds absolutely wild, I have zero interest in owning any modern car long term due to how expensive it would be to fix once its out of warranty and after 7 years its going to be worth fuck all so I would have ate the entire purchase price plus interest.
  
  I believe the most common way in Europe for private buyers of brand new cars is PCP, so the purchase price is offset by a guaranteed future value for the car at the end of the deal (usually three years), which the finance arm of the manufacturer is on the hook for. If its worth more you sell the car on and make a "profit", if its value is less you hand it back and you lose nothing.
  
  I have done the latter with multiple cars and it costs the financing arm thousands in each case.
  
  Sure I never own the car, but I really don't want to, and this enables me to only pay at most the depreciation of the car during my ownership period.
  
  Obviously buying used and running it till it drops should be cheaper, but that's complicated by cost savings of fuel vs. EV charging costs, the ever increasing repair costs as you start to age out simpler older cars, and other increased running costs such as insurance.
- That's horrible. 7 years is almost the average length of ownership in the US.
OK, it’s not just me then
- Well its at least three of us now
To be fair, people like this are more than likely paying $1000/mo for 8 or even 9 years at absolutely dogshit APR. They’re getting fucked from both ends on these things.
- For that kind of money, they should have gotten an RV. Then they could at least live in it if they need to.

What the fuck are they on about with the USB?

Teslas have a Sentry Mode that enables recording of all the cameras when the car is locked and a USB flash drive is plugged in.

The car can also record clips when you do things like honk the horn, as a way to try to capture relevant video before an accident etc.
- Sooo, if you break in to a cybertruck just make sure you steal the flash drive?
- Sounds stupid but I've seen trams whose computer interface is a Java app on Linux booting from an 8GB M-SATA drive with cameras recording to a 16GB USB thumb drive. It's mounted in a bracket that prevents disconnects due to vibrations but the electrical connection is indeed regular USB.
Some features require you to use a USB drive (for example, Dashcam, Sentry Mode and Track Mode, if equipped,) that meet these requirements:

Is this English?

Live in UK, can confirm, the English can barely speak it, typing is often a bridge too far

I can write better German as an A1 than this person can speak English, even though they were born in America, and lived to be in their fourties, with no other auxillary language to their know how

I’m German and my English is more coherent when I’m stoned than whatever OOP word-vomited into existence.

Is this cyberstuck@lemmy.ca or aneurysmposting@sopuli.xyz?

Yes

TF is that word salad?

It's tossed, sir.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Did JD Vance give this guy a stroke too? While he was writing?

Allowing a child to ride in one of those things should be a criminal offense

But they’re the only ones buying them!

Oh my god, that's awful - his genes are continuing...

Anyone wondering about the writing, that person might not be a native English speaker.

Edit: I'm saying this as a non native speaker btw

Possible. However as a non native English speaker myself, I kind of take pride in making sure I'm understood, and grammatically cromulent.

And i've seen multiple people apologizing for their English, then having a better vocabulary and grammar than most native speakers.

Of course some people can barely make a sentence in a second or third language. It's quite possible. I'm really bad at making coherent sentences in German, even after many years of studying it. But in my experience, non native speakers tend to be careful about this.
Anyone wondering about the writing, that person might ~~not~~ be a native English speaker

That makes more sense honestly.

People communicating in their non-native tongue tend to be more precise (if clumsy) in order to get their point across more clearly/with a greater success rate.

If I had to guess, native English speaker or not, this person prob speaks English most of the day every day, it's just what it is.

Pride in not causing mass aneurisms aside, communication for some people is just really hard & takes a lot of energy (and not communicating bcs of that is depressive), so y'all better don't be shaming that.

Now - wondering how someone can break a car window (that doesn't have any applicable certificates to that point), that is def weird.
Nah this is how people I went to high school with write. For some people, writing is apparently kept in an entirely different part of their brain from normal speech and they can't just write the way they talk, it's just pure stream of consciousness.
