Scratching a stranger’s car is never okay.
It is strange and striking that climate change activists have not committed any acts of terrorism. After all, terrorism is for the individual by far the modern world’s most effective form of political action, and climate change is an issue about which people feel just as strongly as about, say, animal rights. This is especially noticeable when you bear in mind the ease of things like blowing up petrol stations, or vandalising SUVs. In cities, SUVs are loathed by everyone except the people who drive them; and in a city the size of London, a few dozen people could in a short space of time make the ownership of these cars effectively impossible, just by running keys down the side of them, at a cost to the owner of several thousand pounds a time. Say fifty people vandalising four cars each every night for a month: six thousand trashed SUVs in a month and the Chelsea tractors would soon be disappearing from our streets. So why don’t these things happen?
I think it says more about the personalities on each side. ICE loving climate deniers are aggressive by nature.
Can’t say I agree. For example, if someone hits you with their car? It’s ok to scratch it.
Edit: The downvotes on this are fucking unreal, imagine being upset that the person you just mowed over scratched your car. Fuck right off with that bullshit.

Are you 12?
Or do you just see every unfortunate occurrence as personal victimization?
“I don’t like attention.”
– Guy that gave multiple interviews about all the attention he is getting.
Not only did he get an unpopular truck, but he still uses Reddit. This guy is 0-2. What’s next?
He uses Twitter. Probably watches Televised News
Anyone that supports muskrat is an automatic pos in my book. He’s an evil degenerate.
I’ve never liked that nickname, just because muskrats are pretty cool and don’t deserve to be brought down to that shithead’s level.
You’re right it’s a disservice to the glorious beings that are muskrats. How about we just call him… sir shitstain nazi mckfuckface?
I’m in the minority of people who really like the design, I just wouldn’t ever consider buying anything from Tesla.
he really should not have bought Twitter that is what I think pissed people off the most
Think he didn’t really have much of a choice given his public comments, and the fact that to lay folks those comments were credible because he has the resources to follow through.
If I posted “BRB, buying Twitter and taking it private,” it would be a joke. But coming from someone who already has a crazy amount of money, positions in companies, etc., and who knows or should know the ins and outs of securities law…
That was an ill fated statement that he should never have made and probably expected to be taken as a joke. Don’t think he expected the Twitter board to take the chance to cash out and call it good, either.
For someone with that level of impaired judgement to be running companies…. Jeez, how do I pull that off? I can rant publicly, I just don’t know the magic incantations that being in billions.
Hope that MFer gets meme stocked, shorted, and pump and dumped. As we’ve seen again and again, it doesn’t take all that much to do those things.
Am abs against the meme stock crowd, they are straight up bad actors, but might be able to do some good here.
This is getting out of hand. Like it went from a few jokes to straight up bullying and being toxic to people who didn’t do anything
Seriously, risking charges just to lash out at a billionaire by attacking someone using their product is absolutely crazy. It’s unhinged even without the risk of charges, especially of all the things to attack an electric vehicle - do people not remember how we’d dog on the manchildren that did similar things to prius?
Last trump election there was huge push online to make the right as uncivil as possible. It seems like this round its the left because talking to a lot of these people are reminding me of what it was like speaking to the right pre election.
They’re intentionally supporting Elon, so yeah they are
I mean is it really a truck?
There needs to be a way to validate if something is a truck.
Like, if you can’t put a 2x4 in it, is it a truck? Is an el camino a truck?
IF a cybertruck is a truck, is a Pontiac Aztek a truck?
Per the legal US definition, almost every SUV is a “light truck”, including my 1999 Subaru Forester…
iirc, that is bc your Forester is an SUV that uses a truck chassis underneath, whereas the otherwise extremely similar Crosstrek uses the Impreza chassis so is more of a high “car”. But that could change over the years and I’m not really a car person so don’t quote me or anything!:-P
His Forrester is built on a Legacy chassis; it’s a four door sedan with a little lift and a bigger body shell on top.
Thanks for the correction. I see now, it’s a larger car chassis - so as @empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com said, that’s not a “truck”, light or otherwise, at all!?
I did a search and found this article suggesting that it is a historical (hehe, some might say… “legacy”, eh?:-P) naming scheme, based on fuel economy:
The U.S. government uses light-duty trucking as a vehicle class for the regulation of fuel economy by enforcing the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards. The light-duty truck class includes pickup trucks, sport utility vehicles (SUVs), vans, and minivans.
Since light-duty trucks are typically used for utility purposes rather than personal use, they have lower standards for fuel economy than cars do.
nope, not a truck in any sense of the word. granted I use it like one, lol, but it is very much a light passenger car chassis.
