my friend saw two across the street from each other in Bend, Oregon today (one matte black with a vanity plate ๐) and we decided it could be the meet-cute in some horrible Republican romcom, except of course that the only people who own them are likely the worst kind of shitty โno homoโ dudebros
ooh, or the meet-cute in a horror flick. Tesla Terror! but it's jessica biel running from justin timberlake drunk in the truck. Bringing sexy backs into you.
Yeah, they all bought them to show how theyโre โhigh value menโ (wtf does that even mean??) but it turns out none of the women they think they deserve will come with a Mike of the things. Itโs just a bunch of determined, loser dudes circling the same blocks, hoping somehow to attract Wimmen.
Well that would mean pretty much everyone in Europe since they aren't available over here - we have rules about companies not being allowed to sell death traps.
There was one parked outside my HOUSE last night, my neighbor and I were texting each other in a fury. First one I've seen, despite living in L.A. I almost left them a "take this shit back to Huntington Beach" note, but I was in a hurry.
I'm in Australia so I doubt I'll ever see one over here. They would require massive after-market modification to make then comply with Australian roadworthiness laws.
Itโs giggle inducing! Like a childโs drawing come to life. Too big, yet so impracticle, not quite shiny, weird proportions. I really hope you see one for the first time while itโs moving, just a laugh riot.
Saw one again tonight and I omgโd out loud! @dingis.bsky.social
The first car I ever did a double-take upon viewing for its ugliness was the Pontiac Aztec. I kind of feel like the Cybertruck is the modern equivalent but much dumber, much uglier and much more expensive
Torn between being relieved that they are not being sold in Australia, and disappointed that I don't have the chance for in-person mockery and vandalism.
I sadly saw 3 in one day recently. Rolled my eyes each time. Live in the SF Bay Area so becoming ever harder to go a day without seeing one. The given are the 19 bajillion regular Teslas which generally seem to function well. Rivians continue to sneak up on them though.
I hadnโt seen any at all prior to this month, but saw two over the past couple of weeks, one in NW Portland (OR) and the other in an outlying suburb. They look even more ridiculous in person, like a cosplay car, but done sloppily.
