I'm swastisure he doesn't give a fuck. This is peak slacktivism, on par with sharing a meaningless chain post on Facebook.

[–] Sculptor9157@sh.itjust.works 7 points 19 hours ago

This leads to a "I don't even know who you are..." moment in OP's grand future confrontation with elon.

Shitty cars, shitty company, ketamine addled fascist prick owner.

Still no “Full Self Driving” after claiming “soon” back in 2015…

I mean, the model 3 and Y would be great cars if it weren't for Elon. Tesla, SpaceX, and the whole world would be much better off without him.

Edit: also I'm not talking about FSD, I think it's bullshit and will continue to be bullshit for the foreseeable future. I like to drive my car.

Until self-driving tech is good enough that you can safely not have a human behind the wheel it isn't really anything other than a toy.

As soon as you can remove humans from the equation you can have automated trucks, without even the capacity for a human driver, that's where the real future is, not in owned vehicles that will always have, by definition, a driver in them anyway.

if he kept his promise of self driving and an economy model we would all be very uncomfortable right about now.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 3 points 23 hours ago

Oh he gave specific dates. And yet people still haven't ridiculed him off the public stage.

Great. That way you won't hear it, when the SS sneak up on you.

Who has Elon growing a toothbrush mustache on their bingo cards?

A musktache if you will.

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 17 hours ago

He'll need to get hair transplants first...

Elon Musk isn't a Nazi, FFS.

... Nazis could make cars.

[–] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 4 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

VW means people's car. Making nice cars is a socialism, apparently.

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago (4 children)

VW means people's car.

That’s not wrong, but Volk is more nuanced than that. Think somewhere between folk and ethnicity, so it’s still fascist.

[–] pumpkinseedoil@mander.xyz 3 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Not entirely true

Substantiv, Neutrum [das]

  1. durch gemeinsame Kultur und Geschichte [und Sprache] verbundene große Gemeinschaft von Menschen "ein freies, unterdrücktes Volk"

  2. [ohne Plural] Masse der Angehörigen einer Gesellschaft, der Bevölkerung eines Landes, eines Staatsgebiets "das arbeitende, werktätige, unwissende Volk"

  1. Many people who're connected through similar history and culture, "a free people", "a suppressed people"
  2. [without plural] Members of a society, the inhabitants of a country, "the working people", ...
[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

No, it’s definitely not a comprehensive definition, I was going for the meaning in context of VW. The correct response to pedantry is pedantry, though :)

[–] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 1 points 15 hours ago

Yeah, you are right.

Ah, he's the Elonazi of cars.

[–] Tyfud@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago

He's a cheap American imitation Porsche family.

Do they come in reich hand drive?

[–] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Fair. I’ll stop calling Swastikars Swastikars, or was it Swasticars? I think it’s Swastikars.
Anyway, someone cooked up the word Hakencruisers and I really loved it.

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Wankpanzer is pretty good too.

[–] mke@programming.dev 5 points 14 hours ago

Better, I'd imagine.

"Oh, here comes a hakencruiser..."

"A hack and what?"

Versus "look at that fucking wankpanzer. Fucking wanker." Can't go much simpler than that.

[–] daepicgamerbro69@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago (7 children)

The Nazis didn't use the 'Swastika' per se, they used a specific type of swastika called the hooked cross or hakenkreuz. Calling the Nazi cross a swastika brings confusion and disrespects many cultures where the symbol has a meaning diametrically opposite to that of nazi ideology.

[–] Tin@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

I've been practicing dharmic religion for many years. Swastikas are used pretty heavily in dharmic spirituality to represent wisdom, or divinity, or the sun. I understand and have even used the symbol for its intended meaning.

The symbol the Nazis used is a swastika. It's okay and correct to call it one.

[–] Metz@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago

You make a very good point that i have not considered yet. Thank your for bringing this to attention.

It just looks like it reads swasticars, if you look closely it really just says romancars but is a little autistic.

[–] dditty@lemm.ee 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

There are stickers as well. Absolutely don't put them on swasticars.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 10 points 23 hours ago

Oh man on the paint? That's just rude.

On a cyber truck or late model year...sure. But the ones that bought new before it was obvious how much of a shitheel Musk is...back when the Tesla stood apart as the electric car? Leave those guys alone. Or at least just inconvenience them by putting it on glass.

[–] Bahnd@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

Do be careful, those vehicles are covered in cameras. Arnt dystopias fun! /s

[–] Stomata@sh.itjust.works 1 points 15 hours ago

Somehow this car looks like Trump

[–] Speculater@lemmy.world 8 points 23 hours ago

Interesting that swatsicars didn't show up in Google searches. I guess we have to keep searching Google.

[–] snek_boi@lemmy.ml 1 points 17 hours ago

First time I use Google in years. I'm sure they will readily suck my data, in this case my search for "Swasticars".

[–] TodaviaTyler@lemmy.world 4 points 23 hours ago

I am mildly disappointed that we didn't go with SwastiKKKar.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 4 points 23 hours ago

I'm do my best to stop swatzicars. Forever.
