Unfortunately, the impact of an actual snowflake on a Cybertruck will irreparably damage its finish.

Snowflakes also block the Cyber trucks "uniquely" designed headlights

How the fuck did that thing ever become road legal. I think in some countries it even straight up isn't iirc.

[–] polderprutser@feddit.nl 12 points 3 hours ago

In the EU it's not street legal. In short, it fails a plethora of basic safety regulations.

Government response should be.... "While the government sympathises with your plight and considers protecting its citizens a core duty, recent events have left the government under manned and thus powerless to protect those who cheer on the downsizing of the government until it directly affects them. Therefore please accept our apologies but until such time as staffing levels allow us to focus on anything but the absolutely vital functions of government which are already more than we can handle, we will not be able to offer you any support."

Just needed to add the “sending thoughts and prayers” at the end but otherwise perfect.

Or just autoreply with a poop emoji.

"Due to government short staffing, created by the current Trump/Musk administration, we are unable to render assistance since you have a net worth of less than 100 billion dollars. We can however refer you to our private partner "Guard", Guard - the X in security, can be requested through X following an AI loyalty analysis of your Xeet history.

Once approved for Guard services you can expect one part time Guard to protect your Tesla for two total hours a week."

Thoughts and prayers, anyone?

Is the fuck your feelings crowd getting their feelings fucked?

So I guess you don’t mind having to bury it if it catches fire, because they reach insane temperatures. Or the fact that raccoons think they are dumpsters.

[–] collapse_already@lemmy.ml 1 points 47 minutes ago

Raccoons are not unique in that regard. Or maybe I'm a raccoon?

Can't deal with the free speech now, can they?

Teslas are gross

Just don’t buy a cyber”truck”? I am genuinely baffled why anyone would choose that over any other truck in America. There are so many better priced, and higher quality vehicles on the market.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 26 minutes ago

Because they want to be seen being a Nazi, but without the consequences.

[–] ramble81@lemm.ee 11 points 4 hours ago

Just wait till they vote to add it as a protected class.

Aww, poor babies.
