Unfortunately, the impact of an actual snowflake on a Cybertruck will irreparably damage its finish.

Snowflakes also block the Cyber trucks "uniquely" designed headlights

How the fuck did that thing ever become road legal. I think in some countries it even straight up isn't iirc.

[–] polderprutser@feddit.nl 20 points 2 days ago

In the EU it's not street legal. In short, it fails a plethora of basic safety regulations.

us has very lax laws on it. it can cut a deer in half, plus its a charcuterie cutter.

Government response should be.... "While the government sympathises with your plight and considers protecting its citizens a core duty, recent events have left the government under manned and thus powerless to protect those who cheer on the downsizing of the government until it directly affects them. Therefore please accept our apologies but until such time as staffing levels allow us to focus on anything but the absolutely vital functions of government which are already more than we can handle, we will not be able to offer you any support."

Just needed to add the “sending thoughts and prayers” at the end but otherwise perfect.

Or just autoreply with a poop emoji.

"Due to government short staffing, created by the current Trump/Musk administration, we are unable to render assistance since you have a net worth of less than 100 billion dollars. We can however refer you to our private partner "Guard", Guard - the X in security, can be requested through X following an AI loyalty analysis of your Xeet history.

Once approved for Guard services you can expect one part time Guard to protect your Tesla for two total hours a week."

My xeets are like a 7 or 8 on the Bristol stool scale what do I win from the gubmint

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

how much are they on the MOHs harndess scale.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

They're a No on the MOHs scale

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 21 points 2 days ago

Can't deal with the free speech now, can they?

[–] PeteWheeler@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

So funny. What do they think will happen or change?

Even if this is passed, nothing will change. Also, pretty sure the whole 'attack on cybertrucks' is 90% online. So I recommend they just touch grass.

There's a dude who owns a swasticar a few streets over, and I've noticed I'm not the only one to flip it off when I'm going by. But that's about as aggressive any attacks are getting around here

[–] AmbiguousProps@lemmy.today 13 points 2 days ago

Aww, poor babies.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 24 points 2 days ago

Thoughts and prayers, anyone?

[–] kane@femboys.biz 17 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Just don’t buy a cyber”truck”? I am genuinely baffled why anyone would choose that over any other truck in America. There are so many better priced, and higher quality vehicles on the market.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

when i was near one upclose, i thought they were taller, im guessing they are wierdly shaped.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago

Because they want to be seen being a Nazi, but without the consequences.

[–] ramble81@lemm.ee 13 points 2 days ago

Just wait till they vote to add it as a protected class.

[–] hopesdead@startrek.website 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

So I guess you don’t mind having to bury it if it catches fire, because they reach insane temperatures. Or the fact that raccoons think they are dumpsters.

[–] collapse_already@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 days ago

Raccoons are not unique in that regard. Or maybe I'm a raccoon?

[–] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 15 points 2 days ago

Teslas are gross
