    Implying the vast majority of their voter base can even afford Tesla’s.

    The ones that do would have to forgo owning a huge lifted truck which I guess would also be a benefit.

    It’s still not going to even come close to bail Elon out of the situation he’s in on account of so many big export markets now refusing to buy his shit, so he’s fucked regardless. No-win for him, all-win for us

    Click both, get a hybrid

    People on the internet who obsess with left-right politics are a psyop, including maga grifters who think discourse about the environment is a lib-thing.

    Judging by the effects of the market on Tesla stock, I really don’t think this is the struggle that the meme suggests it is.

    Making choices in the “free market” of capitalism:

    • A car that will destroy your health, community, planet, etc.
    • A fascist car that will destroy your health, community, the planet slightly slower, etc.

    Remember: Without a car you will live in poverty and isolation at best.

      Its always good to note that roadways and parking- like trains, electricity, sewers, drinking water- are a public design choice made by politicians and are choices with consequences that affect everyone.

      There are videos that walk through how to “de-pussify” (or some other misogynistic term) cyber trucks to make them run on diesel. I don’t know enough about cars or cyber trucks to know how valid they are.

      That would still make them cleaner than a diesel ICE truck. Since the generator can continuously run at a constant rpm where the engine burns the fuel efficiently. So that would also generate the least particulate matter since the burn would be cleaner.

      There is a Canadian company called Edison who will retrofit a truck into a hybrid. They add two electric axle engines and convert the IC engine into a generator to charge the batteries.

    I was wondering about this earlier today. How to they reconcile “Elon is God” with “Electrification goes against my fReEdOm”?!

    The ultimate irony would be for them to start buying up EV. Now if there’s any way to get them to think they’re pissing off the libs by enacting reasonable environmental, gun, and LGBTQ/women’s rights we’d be on a roll.

      They aren’t. Because there is no American left with any power.

      Everything is polarized between “I affirm your identity as you die in a cardboard box under a freeway due to market forces” extreme right(D) and “get into the fucking gas chamber” Fascist®.
