It’d be such a shame if it caught fire.
But then, Chump never drives anyway so…
🤷♂️ 🤷♂️
Proving, once again, what complete fucking idiot he is! <car catches fire behind him >
Hearing Trump talk about how the car has ‘computer’ (during the news conference) made me think back to a news event with George H.W. Bush in a supermarket, seeing a grocery barcode scanner for the first time.
Same kind of inquisitive and excited response from both of them.
Trump did a supermarket thing while out doing his disinformation circuit, and the owner guy was trying to explain things to him and you could tell Trump had never grocery shopped and then quickly lost interest and tuned the guy completely out.
The McDonald’s fries thing was also amusing when he learned “how fries were made” and that they put them in a basket and not scoop them out by hand lol.
Fucker Carlson shopping in Moscow can be put there too since he is another head of the MAGA hydra.

They could have let him learn that the hard way, but no.
Bobbing for fries might sound more like fun to him.
You know, Don, when a man potato and a woman potato love each other…
Imagine if everyone in the world would just say “fuck no, I am not cooking for you” and the billionaires would die of starvation because they don’t know how to do. Hilarious.
Okay but were they actual recalls or just OTA software update “recalls”
https://www.familyhandyman.com/article/tesla-cybertruck-recalls/
Honestly , I wonder how they got 37 and what they are. My guess is that most were really small software updates like you said. With that said, here is the list of the ones that I heard about. Out of the 6 listed, 5 were exclusive to the truck, and it looks like 5 of the 6 were actual recalls.
I’m not sure how people are ok with that, considering the price and how awful the reviews are about how it’s built and drives. For comparison, I have now owned 5 cars in my life and had a total of 3 recalls. The total cost of the 5 cars combined is 26k, and that’s over 25 years. My one and only point is I can’t believe people are willing to throw 90k at a car full of problems when 90k should be buying you a well-built luxury car with peace of mind.
Most likely bought with taxpayer money.
Russian taxpayer money, yes.
Pay? Why would he pay? Does he ever pay for anything?
I gladly pay you tomorrow for a Tesla today.
Free scrap metal is free scrap metal
he sure as shit doesn’t pay for his crimes.
It’ll be auctioned off for $10M to an anonymous Saudi buyer.
Honestly, I’m not even mad they’re squandering their money on stupid bullshit.
Except it isn’t stupid bullshit. They are giving the money to musk so that they can get something they want done. This also gives musk more power as he’s able to buy more people.
Anonymously at an auction?
“Anonymously” at an “auction” was the intended implication, I believe. Where in actuality someone is just paid a lot of money in a manner that is harder to trace, and has an air of plausible deniability.
Omg you’re right, I completely forgot that was a thing for money laundering. Damn. My mistake!
“Donald. I will pay to make you President but you have to give me access to all admin information and buy a car from me.” E-Lawn.
I doubt if he paid for it, or if it’ll ever be driven.
All good. It can totally drive itself.
Tesla has a chance to do something funny here.
This car was probably bought using US government money.
It was most definitely bought using your tax money.
No it wasn’t. It was Russian tax money.
Putin’s manservant bought the car using his hidden slush funds.
“Bought”
If this were a movie, (that I was writing) The car would glitch and lock Dumpster inside, then burst into flames. He would push the panic button, then look through the smoky windows at fElon laughing demonically, while Dumpster lights-outs coughing and railing against the betrayal, and injustice of it all.
Fade to black. Cough
No seriously please get this script hammered out and get an animator
Pushing the panic button would be cross-wired to make the fart noise.
Would be even better if elon were in there with him
Post credits scene will be fElon taking a seat behind the desk in the oval office.
Which suddenly also burst into flames and cut to black almost immediately.
Which fades into POV held tied in a carriage with a blond man telling you you’ve been trying to cross the borders…
What’s weird is that Presidents aren’t allowed to drive themselves. Secret service is no doubt impounding that new car until he’s no longer their problem.
They can, just not on public roads.
Biden drove an electric Ford truck on a closed lot.
Obama drove Jerry Seinfeld’s car on the White House grounds.
He actually said this on camera, that he wouldn’t be driving it. But then, he said that he hadn’t driven in a “long time”…
I don’t think he has a driver’s license.
He did have a drivers license and was shown driving in 2014 on a video that his wife posted. The license expired in 2020. He probably didn’t renew it, since ex-presidents are also not allowed to drive, so he hasn’t been allowed to drive since 2016.
That’s code for he never learned to drive. Whatever polite bullshit you’re used to from other politicians isn’t happening here, so you can safely assume the exact opposite of what he’s saying.

$90k is nothing for these people.
You have any clue how much Trump is stealing from tax payers? The dude is making a fortune off being president.
That’s like an hour of playing gold for him
Ever wondered if this tariff yes tariff no spiel is just stock maipulation?
just for a second, now it’s canon
They’re shit cars. Let’s please stop pretending they aren’t. The build quality is abhorrent.
Yes, they had the cool factor for a while, and yes, I feel sorry for (some of) those who got caught up in something they didn’t want to be caught up in. But also, the writing has been on the wall a long time, and build quality issues have been public knowledge for about as long.
You get what you pay for.
You get what you pay for.
At $90K, no you most certainly don’t.
The majority of the cost is stupid tax
Do you have a source for that?
Also we should note that Tesla paid $0 income tax on $2 billion income in 2024. And Trump axed the tax rebate to help people buy EVs.
Dumb tax as in tax for being dumb. I was joking.
I think “stupid tax” is the more common verbiage, I’ve updated it
Ah, that makes sense. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
Personally I think “idiot tax” works better.
“Stupid” and “dumb” being adjectives that could also be describing the tax itself, rather than the person paying it, is ambiguous. But “idiot tax” clearly says, to me anyway, “a tax on idiots.”
Ah yeah good point
The phrase “idiot tax” is also used to describe people who buy lottery tickets.
My buddy found blue painter’s tape where there was supposed to be wire conduit and screws when he lifted up the carpet on his. You may note that blue painter’s tape is intentionally designed to be temporary and dissolve away after a few weeks, which is much less than the expected lifespan of AN ENTIRE FUCKING CAR.
I had a coworker who bought a used one five years ago who said it was great having the first owner do all the repairs.

Right, but you gotta admit, older Hondas are made of steel. Figuratively and literally.
Webster’s updated “literally”. It now includes the definition “to add emphasis”, since people keep using it incorrectly. They update the dictionary to reflect current usage, so I get it, but it still makes me sad.
Mark my words, it’s going to happen again with “objectively”. I see stuff like this constantly:
This art piece is objectively good
That’s not what’s objectively means?
All words are made up.
If this sort of thing didn’t happen, you would just have claimed that seeing the dictionary entry makes you not hungry. (Original meaning of sad in Old English, cognate with German satt which still has this meaning.)
There are probably some cases were words changed their meaning from positive to negative. (I know there are in German)
Contronyms are words that hold two opposite meanings
