This community exists as a sister community/copycat community to the r/fuckcars subreddit.

This community exists for the following reasons:

You can find the Matrix chat room for this community here.

Rules

  1. Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn't choose car-centric life out of free will.

  2. No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don't use slurs. You can laugh at someone's fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.

  3. Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don't post literal car fucking.

  4. No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.

  5. No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn't a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.

  6. No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.

  7. No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.

Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.

Elon sucks, but vandalizing someone else's property because of him isn't cool.

Elon Musk haters have vandalized dozens of Tesla Cybertrucks being held ahead of delivery at a parking lot in Florida.

Literally the first sentence of the article. The owner isn't going to take this loss. Tesla will.

[–] Tangentism@lemmy.ml 15 points 4 months ago

Those owners are only going to have them for about 4 hours after delivery when the truck will die for a multitude of reasons anyway!

[–] Hildegarde@lemmy.world 41 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Vandalizing cybertrucks before delivery is cool. Laws are not the arbitor of coolness.

[–] theacharnian@lemmy.ca 34 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I don't know. Vandalizing luxury cars finds me morally indifferent. I'm not going to argue for vandalizing them but I simply can't get myself to care enough for the poor souls whose "cybetrucks" need a new paint job.

[–] MeThisGuy@feddit.nl 3 points 4 months ago

the stainless (but not rustless) paint job?

[–] lukecooperatus@lemmy.ml 27 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Anybody who buys one of those vehicles is someone who sucks also. Fuck em all.

[–] InternetUser2012@midwest.social 16 points 4 months ago

I'm not going to judge a human by the vehicle he drives. BUT, if I was to, it does seem the BMW drivers traded in their cars and bought Tesla's.

"There's no such thing as ethical consumption under capitalism so fuck everyone."

There's a difference between buying something because you need it, and buying something to signal you are part of a fascist cult - and let's be honest, no one buys a cybertruck because it's a good vehicle for any purpose.

[–] uis@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

and buying something to signal you are part of a fascist cult

There is difference between rich not knowing where to spend the money while signaling that you are rich who doesn't know where to spend the money and signaling being part of fascist cult.

I’m not sure why people seem to think that sentence says “purchases are beyond reproach,” but it doesn’t. Two things can be unethical with one being much more obviously worse.

[–] TheObviousSolution@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago

The problem is having a clown as a CEO for a brand that keeps making people hate him in a very PR visible way. Other car brands don't get graffiti'd.

[–] Dirk@lemmy.ml 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Vandalizing the environment isn’t either.

[–] InternetUser2012@midwest.social 0 points 4 months ago

Yet here you are posting on the internet using all those vandalizing products right?

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world -3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

True. Although the value likely went up, so maybe not actual vandalization...

[–] InternetUser2012@midwest.social 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

They're worth a lot at the moment, but very soon the value will tank and all these founders editions are going to be worth at least 30k less.

[–] Tangentism@lemmy.ml 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

A substantial number are turning into paperweights within hours of delivery so their value has already tanked

[–] InternetUser2012@midwest.social -5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

They haven't though, try and buy one.
