They're very portable, so you can carry them around with you in case you come up with an idea of something to write on your Tesla while you're out and about. They stick to the surface quite well and don't wash off in the rain.

(Please try not to succumb to the temptation to write "F**k off Nazi Scum" or similar on somebody else's though like other people are suggesting. That might encourage people not to buy Teslas, which is a shame, because they're great American cars.)

While I get where you are coming from, the flawed logic is that cybertruck owners chose to support elon with their purchase well after he had shown his true colours (though tbf it has only gotten worse since then)

So comparing that to people whose only support of Russia is the fact they were born there (which is out of their control obviously) is not exactly fair

Wait so suddenly the cybertruck owners all made their purchase after elon started doing shit? When did that happen? Either I missed that memo Or there's no "logic" there you just made a giant assumption.

The comparison is people who do this are automatically lumping giant diverse groups of people together over a thing that's outside of their control. Noone who bought a Tesla made Elon act like a jackass, and if you've dumped multiple years of income into a purchase on something huge and important in your life like, oh I don't know, a car? You can't expect everyone to just sprint to the dealership, take thousands less than they paid and swap it out for a different car.

So yeah, this is small minded kyles getting emotional at their parents and punching a hole through their wall.

I'm doubtful people are buying cybertrucks if they aren't very wealthy to begin with. Changing it out for a different car isn't going to be a huge loss for them. Plus, yeah, cybertrucks only came out very recently after Elon showed his true colours.

I don't doubt it, I have financed a phone, saved up to buy fancy tech.

Tech nerds are known for going DEEP into their passions. And I think people forget that not too many years ago the public opinion of musk was very different

I don't forget that. I actually admired it when he launched a Tesla into space. Thought that was cool at the time.

But fuck everyone else who bought into it at the time right?

Hmm? How so? I'm only talking about the Cybertruck, which is a recent thing.
