  @Salty @KimSJ @srtcd424 @thomasfuchs Tesla Motors is a car company. It makes cars with a notably poor build quality which have doors that don't open, windows that don't seal, and batteries which set themselves on fire. I am attempting to generate humour by implying that Tesla's cars fit the pattern that was identified above. @Salty @KimSJ @srtcd424 @thomasfuchs I have. A girlfriend, back when I was a kid, was obsessed with that movie (even though we were too young to watch it.) It's a good movie although I think it's irresponsible in how easily it allows itself to be misinterpreted. @passenger @KimSJ @srtcd424 @thomasfuchs Then you remember that the unnamed narrator turns out to BE Tyler Durden. He had a psychotic break because his job was to decide whether it was cheaper to let his company’s cars kill people and pay out on lawsuits or recall & fix them to save lives. About 20 years before Tesla built their first car. Or VW diesel engines, or Jeeps that squash you against your garage, or Toyotas with self-removing wheels, etc. I get it, Musk is a born-rich prick with @passenger @KimSJ @srtcd424 @thomasfuchs with Nazi sympathies and less than half the brains he thinks he has. But personally, the bandwagoning on Teslas is just dumb. @thomasfuchs @Salty ...and roofs... and steering wheels... but yeah, bandwaggonning on Tesla's killer cars is dumb. @passenger @KimSJ @srtcd424 @thomasfuchs @Salty that's the Ford Pinto history. @Salty @srtcd424 @thomasfuchs All modern cars with Engine Management that stops you driving when an unimportant sensor fails, warning lights that appear and disappear at random, drive-by-wire software with bugs that jam on the throttle, etc, etc. |
@KimSJ @srtcd424 @thomasfuchs Which one is that?
