As much as I LOL’d and agree with the sentiment, this is almost entirely about politics, not infrastructure – the only tenuous connection is that the political shithead happens to own a car company. As such, please try to resist the temptation to post more stuff like this here.
Edit to address some feedback:
Yes, !fuckcars is political, but that doesn’t mean everything political is on-topic. If this had been about Musk interfering with CA high-speed rail, it would be unambiguously on-topic. If this had been about the harmful effects of those trucks on other road users, it would be unambiguously on-topic (although for the record, I dislike threads hating on any one particular type of car because they risk missing the point that all of them contribute to most of the problems).
But it was neither of those things. It was just pointing out the dishonesty of people who bought a particular product with a particular political connotation. The fact that the product happened to be a vehicle was irrelevant to the idea being conveyed. That makes it a good fit for somewhere like !politicalmemes or !enoughmuskspam, maybe, but not here.
It’s also a shitty, unreliable, dangerous vehicle that allows them to be on the road because Elon is the richest dipshit on earth right now.
He’s pushed past regulations and forced his shitty vehicles to be on roads all across the world, including Europe, which doesn’t have the road infrastructure to handle things like the cybertruck. It’s bypassing regulation after regulation to show up on the road as a massive eyesore.
The Cybertruck is the culmination of everything fuckcars is about imo.
IMO while the post shows a cybertruck and it is the culmination of this community, the post clearly focuses on how horrible elon musk is, which would be better suited somewhere else (even tho I vehemently agree with the sentiment)
and only 2 types of people bought these, in the west coast, there arnt many magats that bought it, but ignorant to politics asian people.
Look, a person who is incapable of taking no for an answer!
I really think that you can’t divorce the car-centric hell we are currently suffering in from the politics that made it happen.
“Fuck Cars” is 100% a political statement.
Infrastructure, famously divorced from politics
No silly, politics is when minorities.
I mean there was the whole hyperloop thing he pushed in an attempt to prevent high speed rail construction in california.
he delayed long enough for trumps 1st term elain chao to block any further funding.
Elon musk himself is responsible for so much car centric bullshit. he has his own tunnels, his own chargers, he does everything he can to stop any anti-car development, and he has the most dangerous cars out there. this is only one of them by the way, the one that has sharp hard metal corners that are meant to slice pedestrians in half, but his other cars spontaneously combust.
Infrastructure is directly reliant on politics
Controversial, but I appreciate the reasoning. I think your added nuance threads the needle well.
Do your job. Temp ban people who post low effort posts, including all image posts.

Thank you for being the voice of moderation! I bought a Model 3 in 2018, and the car itself has been great. Considering that it’s now paid off, and that it’s not okay to trash a perfectly usable resource, it would be irresponsible to replace it just to make a political statement. That said, I do have this same bumper sticker on my car 😅
In 2018,Musk was calling rescuers pedophiles for saying his “cave rescue” idea was impractical and would’ve been too little too late.
Regardless of if Musk is crazy or not, they still bought an oversized truck for nothing other than to inflate their ego.
Which is weird, how can you boost your ego with a dumpster?
More like a Trash-Co waste disposal unit.
You’d know if you had a small penis
Absolutely right
And Elmo has been a total cock head long before he performed his nazi salutes
The most offensive of these stickers i have seen is: i bought this before we knew elon was crazy.
We? Don’t drag me into this. Thia car is 4 years old.
This is the man cybertruck owners support with their purchases:
Yeah, it’s not for the workers or the idea of American built stuff. I’m sure it’s better if people buy Chinese
Tesla use BYD batteries, and they’re the real heart of the car
So… They’re already Chinese where it counts
Tesla use BYD, Panasonic, their own. American made model Y and anything else that uses the new battery form factor use Tesla batteries made in America; other cars made in the US use US made Panasonic and Tesla batteries; Teslas made in China use BYD batteries I don’t know what European made Teslas use
Tesla is incredibly vertically integrated, they are much more American than any other American car builder
Mine is Chinese, as I live in Australia which is near China and half a world from America. But I’d have thought Americans would value American made even if the company owner has bad politics
The cybertruck itself is evidence that he wasn’t in his right mind.
He was a scumbag union buster long before he “went crazy”. His parents used slave labor to mine emeralds before his company built cars. The people of this country will believe any bubbleheaded legend of a good rich guy not look him up until he shows his ass. Too little, too late.
Seeing a cybertruck in the wild is the visual equivalent of stepping in dog shit. I saw one the other day up here in Canada that was covered in maple leaves and felt massively offended
Gods I’m so happy they’re straight up not allowed here in Europe.

That cybertruck reminds me of that Simpson’s episode where Homer designed and built a vehicle at his brother’s car company.
Homer has a brother? Wild.
It took me a while to realize he was a crazy con man, to my fault, it was only when he started meddling with stuff I had some understanding. Around the same time, he was investing in movies and making cameos: Thank You for Smoking, Iron Man…
But people were already pointing that out from his time on Paypal. And you can find stuff even before that. So no,
He was crazy/con man even before Tesla.
There is no excuse. Just because there was a time that he posted rainbows and talked about climate does not sane wash his actions, it is just that he was targeting another kind of people. Just like companies rainbow their logos during pride month.
Elon never “went crazy”, he’s just a liar. And the bigger his following became the less he needed to lie about his opinions or goals.
Engineers like Thunderf00t could already prove Elon was full of shit long before it became incredibly obvious.
thunderf00t is a scientist/chemist, not an engineer, but .
Calling the rescue worker s pedophile was the mask off moment. Before that, he was trolling other rich people and promoting his Mars mission. He was always crazy, but we thought he was on our side. We wanted one rich guy on our side for once.
The issue is thinking that anyone that rich would ever be on your side.
The mentality that allows someone to get rich like that (besides copious amounts of sheer luck) is incompatible with the needs of the many. If they’re “on your side” they have a personal agenda to get out on top over their competition. You are a tool for them to exploit to ensure their infinite growth.
We knew he was not an upstanding guy long before he bought Twitter. Just not everyone was paying attention. As well I hope they enjoy their inescapable burn chamber. That thing is more of a hazard to the owner than those around them than the Pinto was. Regular Car Reviews did a good one on it.
I guess he didn’t draw the line at the salutes?
Yeah, sorry man, that doesn’t work on Cybertrucks, only the old Teslas.
Point of Sale?
Piece of Shit
