Just remember: Tesla vehicles are surveillance machines, and the cops have access to facial recognition software, so I will not be surprised if whoever did this is caught.

    Ok so I am in no way saying you should do this but there’s 360 cams on them so wrap up warm and run away battery fires let off lots of nasty chems so make sure you don’t stand near a burning one for very long.

    The funniest part about Teslas being on fire is that they just have to let them burn to the ground because the battery can’t be put out.

    what do you call 4 cybertrucks on fire?

    • a good start

    • a garbage fire

    • a clustertruck

    • a mystery as to whether they just burst into flames on their own tesla style

    So every cyber truck catastrophic failure is now an act of vandalism? Didn’t we know these things caught fire randomly and spontaneously from their history? How far will weak business leaders go to prop up their crappy public parasitizing products?!

      Unfortunately lithium batteries have been really unstable recently. It is just a fact of life. Nothing could be done about this.

    The cops’ facial recognition tech: palantir.

    Peter thiel’s most wide spread project. Peter thiel, the man who funded JD Vance. Peter thiel, the man who became a billionaire with (f)Elon at PayPal. Thiel, the man who decides who is invited to and what subjects are discussed at the bilderberg meetings.

    Also, balaclavas and ski masks, my friends. And walk differently from your normal walk. Gait detection is also a thing.

    I find that being incinerated has made the one depicted in the article considerably prettier. At least it has both curves and some color now.

    Didn’t Elon Musk do this by releasing a shitty product that keeps exploding left and right? When four explode at the same lot, you know you’ve got a safety issue on your hands.

    Back in the early days of Tesla when they still had the only cool car they ever made, the roadster, they were so proud of their near fireproof battery with lots of smaller cells. I never heard about a Roadster fire, and the first few model Ss were the safest cars on the road. I guess Elon’s “fire everyone and save money” strategy took a few years to show through.

      The whole: savest car on the road is kind of a bs claim to begin with. They were very “safe” because they are so heavy and the battery is so low that it’s near impossible to flip over. You colt take an “unsafe” car and weld 200kg on the bottom of the car and boom, suddenly it doesn’t flip anymore.

      Remember he came in after they already existed, was just an investor that demanded he be retroactively called a founder. All their tech up to the CyberCuck were iterations on the original, (sans his corner-cutting you mentioned, which was also terrible).
