NoSpotOfGroundTesla pulls out all the stops as Cybertruck sales grind to a halt
No thank you. I don’t want a swasticar.
I’d love to have one of those new production old style beetles. But we can’t buy them here because our govt sucks donkey dick.
You mean this style of beetle?
I don’t like cybertruck just wanted to point out the awkward history of WV
I know exactly what I said.
Flying SquidThe massive, massive difference is that the VW Beetle wasn’t a shitbox for rich people. It’s okay to say that once in a great while. the Nazis, despite being horrific in most ways, did have an idea that wasn’t bad and this was that. The VW Beetle was an affordable car and if something went wrong with it, you could probably fix it yourself with only a small amount of automotive knowledge. You really don’t even need to give Hitler credit for that considering he basically just told Ferdinand Porsche to do all the hard work.
Not so much the Cybertruck. It was Elon’s baby from the beginning and he took a very close personal interest in it.
The Cybertruck is a bad idea. Even for rich people. It’s been demonstrated over and over again.
Cybertruck = Homer car
Except the Homer Car actually worked properly. It just looked stupid and had stupid “features” no one wanted but Homer.
The Cybertruck isn’t even that good.
I liked the homer car. Massive trunk space, 360 view, small A pillars. And having the kids separate so you aren’t distracted by them. Only negative is you can’t look back.
The lack of a roof is a big negative too. There have been experiments with bubble-roof cars before and it’s not fun to be in a plastic bubble when the sun is overhead.
Importantly, the success of the Beetle came after the Nazis. They built the factory using confiscated union funds as well as having people pay instalments for cars which they would never get, built two or three Beetles, then switched production over to war-time production, Kübelwagen. After the war the unions effectively took over the whole plant… and also bought a couple of farms to make sure workers and families had enough to eat. Most of that is gone now but they still have their own butchery, VW part number 199 398 500 A is a saussage.
this is beyond amusing :D
But they also scammed people into spending money on a Volkswagen that they never delivered and took the money to support the war effort.
