I can no longer tell what is and is not satire.

Is this a joke? What else could be under that tarp? It even has a little flap for the plug.

I feel my ability to understand satire is being attacked by reality.

And I checked the comments and its a mix of musk riding:

"I don’t understand how people get so easily manipulated into hating someone that has done so much to change our life’s. Elon is great man and is doing great things for our country and uncovering so much corruption and honestly he needs more credit"

or thinking this is a joke:

"That’s not hiding the fact that there’s a swastikar under it"

PunnyName @lemmy.world - 9mon

That actually looks better. But it's still a swastikar.

CHOPSTEEQ @lemmy.ml - 9mon

It’s crazy how much less offensive it looks. I’m shook.

Not beating those "low-poly" accusations

JokeDeity - 9mon

Gotta love the fact it's on a flatbed. Wonder which of the dozens of possible ways it broke down.

"I don’t understand how people get so easily manipulated into hating someone that has done so much to change our life’s. Elon is great man and is doing great things for our country and uncovering so much corruption and honestly he needs more credit"

That's got to be a Musk alt

Why does he feel uneasy, the windows are unbreakable.

77
M0oP0o - 9mon

I always thought that was a weird challenge to issue. And why would you want unbreakable side windows? To frustrate a rescue?

57
dirtycrow @programming.dev - 9mon

I’ve never thought of it that way, lol. Tech Bros must just say and do whatever they think will earn them the most praise and money. I think that is why they raised that because it was being marketed as an “ultimate truck” even though when it panned out it was the complete opposite.

18
PunnyName @lemmy.world - 9mon

Oh, it killed a CEO. And sister-in-law to Moscow Mitch? Nice.

M0oP0o - 9mon

A wild story that seems to have been forgotten.

jonne @infosec.pub - 9mon

Elon has this thing in his mind where the world will turn into some apocalyptic dystopia like that Futurama episode where Fry freezes himself for another 1000 years. That's also why he put a bio attack mode in the Model X.

And now he's doing everything to make sure the world actually turns into that.

16
stoy @lemmy.zip - 9mon

The bio defense mode is just a HEPA filter from what I can tell, my Seat Leon has that which I often activate in tunnels during winters as studded tires are creating a lot of concrete dust.

10
jonne @infosec.pub - 9mon

Yeah, no doubt it's probably not a wise idea to take a Model X into a WWI battlefield.

mle - 9mon

He's currently working quite hard on making that dystopia future a reality unfortunately...

Billiam - 9mon

Uhh, if you were the kind of enormous asshole that Elon Musk is, would you want to ride in any unarmored car?

14
cheers_queers - 9mon

probs because Tesla owners are getting their cars vandalized lol

4
M0oP0o - 9mon

Yeah now no one will know whats under that tarp....

(do they think people do not have object permanence?)

10
PunnyName @lemmy.world - 9mon

Ideally with cans of brake cleaner. On the paint and clear coat. Brand them, like Brad Pitt in Inglourious Basterds.

4
Zier - 9mon

It's something that comes in handy when you covertly rob a bank. No broken windows. No one will ever know it's you.

3
dohpaz42 - 9mon

I heard if you wipe it with a microfiber cloth it would shatter.

3
M0oP0o - 9mon

That is the windshield, they claim the side windows. (you know the very opposite way most would want, like a cursed wish)

4
IsThisAnAI @lemmy.world - 9mon

Do they prevent spray paint?

Why is the answer to Elon always some half cocked response that ignores reality.

0
EpeeGnome @lemm.ee - 9mon

They don't exactly prevent breakage either. They actually shatter with just slightly more force than normal vehicle glass, it's just that they take quite a lot more impacts to actually penetrate through them.

reddig33 @lemmy.world - 9mon

Spending all that money on an automobile, and not bothering to park it in the garage.

44
M0oP0o - 9mon

Wait, that place I put all my junk too good for outside but not good enough for in the house is for automobiles?

29
zero_spelled_with_an_ecks @programming.dev - 9mon

The garage only has space for two of my vehicles when empty anyway. Besides, how else are people going to keep tabs on how my project car is going? They need to know when it finally has wheels.

12
noseatbelt @lemmy.ca - 9mon

A friend of mine just bought a Toyota tundra and it's too long to fit in his garage. Honestly I never would have thought that'd be something you need to check first.

17
Djfok43 @lemmy.world - 9mon

Omg that's so sad.. what will he do now?

2
Cataphract @lemmy.ml - 9mon

you just gotta have a friend drive it in rrreeeallllyyy fast.

2
IsThisAnAI @lemmy.world - 9mon

Park in front. Use it for storage or a workout area or something.

Djfok43 @lemmy.world - 9mon

He can rent it.. to someone.. to live in.. LOL (if legal of course)

the_weez - 9mon

But then his neighbors won't see how much he owes the bank!

Brujones @lemmy.world - 9mon

I mean, have you seen these things? It's entirely possible the monstrosity doesn't fit in the garage!

6
IsThisAnAI @lemmy.world - 9mon

Most trucks won't fit in an older garage build.

1
kameecoding @lemmy.world - 9mon

You say it like that's fucking normal and it's just too much for my European brain

2
IsThisAnAI @lemmy.world - 9mon

It is normal here. We have more space in general but even my outback is almost too big for my decent sized garage. Modern cars and trucks are just big.

1
coaxil @lemm.ee - 9mon

It's that thing really that long??? Jesus fuck

37
SkyezOpen @lemmy.world - 9mon

Pictures don't do them justice at all. They are hulking monstrosities in real life and it just doesn't really come across in pictures.

33
coaxil @lemm.ee - 9mon

Yeah crazy, this is the first time I have seen one and gone fuck that's stupid large. And at least here in Australia they won't pass our laws so I'm unlikely to ever see one. The thing just gets worse every time I look towards it hahaha

8
kameecoding @lemmy.world - 9mon

While it doesn't pass the laws in Europe either I have seen news article about one being imported into my country under some special loophoole law.

Billiam - 9mon

I don’t understand how people get so easily manipulated into hating someone that has done so much to change our life’s

  1. Not all change is good, you dimwitted simpleton.

  2. It's lives.

Shit, I forgot about "swastikar", I kept shouting "Nazi Car" at all the Teslas in DTLA today.

That thing is stupid big. Or he is a really small man, which could be the reason he bought that.

You guys need to see his fb page. He’s clearly rage baiting and it’s working great for him

✺roguetrick✺ - 9mon

Man don't put a loose cover on it like that outdoors, it'll scratch the finish and cause it to rust! Oh wait, I guess it does that anyway.

7
taiyang @lemmy.world - 9mon

I wonder if you can apply something adhesive under the tarp and let it just sit overnight. There so many terrible things you can do under a tarp quickly and without anyone even knowing since the cameras are convered up.

7
Bytemeister @lemmy.world - 9mon

After sealing up cracks and drafts in my house, all I can say is one can of spray foam can cause unimaginable frustration.

Ziptie the trigger and chuck it under the tarp.

15
Boomer Humor Doomergod - 9mon

Take the trigger off and whack the valve real hard, like you dropped it off a shelf. Spray foam will get everywhere and it’s impossible to stop.

Ask me how I know.

Bytemeister @lemmy.world - 9mon

I know how you know.

dohpaz42 - 9mon

I mean if I were foolish enough to buy such an ugly, hideous, disgusting pile of garbage like the cyber “truck”, I’d be too embarrassed to admit it too. But then again, I guess if I were foolish enough to waste that much money, I’d be too foolish to feel shame.

6
prole @lemmy.blahaj.zone - 9mon

Yeah I'm just imagining the feeling I get when I order a graphic tshirt with something nerdy or funny on it, then I get it and I'm like "I can't wear this shit in public, I'm a grown man! WTF was I thinking?!" but times 100000

2
IsThisAnAI @lemmy.world - 9mon

Or you just never had the money in the first place. I'm willing to bet it's always been the latter.

dohpaz42 - 9mon

I'm willing to bet it's always been the latter.

A fool and his money are soon parted.

collapse_already @lemmy.ml - 9mon

Why did someone put a car cover on a dumpster?

5
livingcoder @programming.dev - 9mon

Given that "existing outside" is harmful to it, I'm guessing that the covering is basically required.

5
Sam_Bass @lemmy.world - 9mon

perfect example of the disconnect

Kualdir - 9mon

He is the king of Telsa ragebaiting, he's looking EXACTLY for your reaction and has been doing so for years.

Elgenzay @lemmy.ml - 9mon

Yes it's clearly satire

4
JokeDeity - 9mon

Don't look at comments, at least half of them on any given social media now is from a bot. A bot designed specifically to create "engagement", or in other terms, sew division through vitriolic discourse.
