I got one recently (UK). Luckily my pals are nice people, so rather than give me a hard time about Elon, they instead complemented my car on how much luggage will fit in das boot.
- tpm 2y agoDid they indicate the amount of luggage with a raised right hand?

- palata 2y agoI would like to have stickers of Elon doing his nazi salutes, that I could put on Teslas I see in the streets.
- hermannj314 2y agoI see several Teslas a day and have never thought to associate the personal property of an individual with with the political beliefs of a shareholder of the company that makes it. I'm curious what you are compelled to do when you see a Volkswagen.
- palata 2y agoWhat I am compelled to do now, or what I would have been compelled to do in 1943 if my neighbour had bought a VW? It's pretty different, isn't it?
- hermannj314 2y agoIn 4+ years if we are 4 years into a global war, involving mass genocide, and 10s of million of dead, and your neighbor buys a Tesla, I would be fine if you defaced it with a sticker. It's not even 1939 yet. Leave the Tesla alone.
- aragilar 2y agoPerhaps stopping before 1933 would be preferable?
- palata 2y agoYou asked my opinion, I gave it. But dude, you don't get to tell me what I must think of Tesla. I couldn't care less about you being fine with me "defacing a Telsa with a sticker". Wanna talk about genocide? Read about "Gaza".
- LightBug1 2y agoAs a car enthusiast, I know that the history of VW is nuanced. And you should know that also. Right now, with Tesla, there is no nuance. It's as clear day. A meme-lord douche is currently CEO and I absolutely detest what he currently stands for. When I see a Tesla, I see said douche sieg heiling.
- rmu09 2y agoThe history of every german car maker that was around in the 30ies is "nuanced" in that way.
- LightBug1 2y agoAgreed. But it is history. For example, you'll know that it was the allies who effectively restarted VW as a practical solution after WW2 and who can be credited with its existence. Tesla is here and now. I wouldn't buy a VW before/during WW2. I wouldn't buy a Tesla now. Not making the two equivalent - but who knows where history is going. We're talking about a US government with fascist tendencies, openly flirting with a mafia superpower.
- Hikikomori 2y agoSome American as well.
- r00fus 2y agoShareholder? He's the CEO making operational decisions. Cybertruck is his vanity project. No, you don't get to say he's just a mere investor.
- drawkward 2y agoI'll help fund your kickstarter, if i get a sticker pack.

- rbanffy 2y agoIt goes from 0 to 1939 in 3 seconds!
- rvnx 2y agoWe all thought that the 88 mph easter-egg was an easter-egg for Back to the future. But in reality, it might be the other 88 (see, "what means 88 in germany")
- pavlov 2y agoAlso, the decimal ASCII code for capital letter X is 88, and Musk likes to quote the infamous “14 words” slightly paraphrased. Damn strange coincidences. I can’t believe I bought a car from this dude. Never again. (He also lied to me about FSD for years after I’d already paid for it, but now that fraud pales in comparison to all his latest insane bullshit.) I guess he just doesn’t need us, his customers, anymore now that he’s captured an authoritarian government.
- rvnx 2y agoI was saying it as a joke, but ahem, this 14 words thing is a bit concerning. I wouldn't be surprised if he sees himself as some sort of Wernher von Braun.
- tim333 2y agoHe was named after the elon in von Braun's book.
- rbanffy 2y agoI was joking that the salute he gave at Trump's inauguration was just a von Braun salute.
- seanmcdirmid 2y agoIt was technically a Bellamy salute (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bellamy_salute https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bellamy_salute), which the Americans invented and used a lot before WW2. Not that this excuses anything, it is still out of style.
- LightBug1 2y agoEaster Egg to help you out - on standard models, you can unlock Ludicrous mode by shouting: Schneil !!!
