Cyberwindshield: $1200

Cyberwindshield wiper: 3 months backorder

Making a Nazi supporter cry: priceless

I heard the horse cock of a windshield wiper is almost irreplaceable because it's 4 feet long and in limited supply.

You're not technically wrong since they were just early to the party with driver assistance & Lane departure warning/avoidance systems, but since the USA made those types of systems mandatory for all cars in 2023, most vehicles 2023+ will now have a similar cost.

for context the windshield of a big ass semi truck costs between $65-225 or just 18% at worst or 3% at best
and they're pretty large too

Oh so all that “first principles” design their CEO likes to talk about really just means “reinvent the wheel and sell the prototypes to customers at prototype prices?”

Huh, who would have thunk it?

For the cybertruck? The design of the others are mostly reasonable, I would assume every replacement part for the cybertruck is much more expensive since it's so fucking ridiculous. I've never had to replace a windshield fortunately so I don't know how much they normally cost.

Which is really upsetting, because that was a good movie and the SNES game was great.

Can't be any elected official, the waiver only applies toward a specific group.

ALL OF THEM AND THE PERPETRATORS WILL BE HUNTED

no, the footage will not be released, you'll just have to trust the department.

0s of them

yeah sums up the vibes on this post. of course fascists are gonna use rhetoric like this to make themselves look good.

what we need is more destroyed teslas and punched nazis.

ohh I see it now...

Cheese? only use American and only in extremely hot areas.

The real joy is using slices of bologna.

Or, if you want to go hard, get some sponges and soak them in acetone. But that's not for Cybertrucks. They need lemon juice and salt. Just mix up a batch and fill a squirt gun.

It's only rich people who can boycott Teslas (poor folk wouldn't afford them in the first place) so it must be pardonable to boycott! Problem solved!

I didn't

About ⅓ of eligible voters voted for someone else.

About ⅓ of eligible voters voted for him.

About ⅓ of eligible voters didn't vote at all- either because they didn’t want to, or were unable to.

He won by the slimmest margin in decades.

So WE didn’t vote him in. A majority of voters did (by the slimmest of margins). But a lot of that can be attributed to misinformation, foreign (Russian) influence, oligarchs playing the system, and so on. There was a massive influx of campaign cash for him in specific states (from people like Musk).

Of the ⅓ who voted for someone else, the majority of them voted for Harris, and are absolutely miserable with the outcome. The bulk of the eligible American voters you meet on Lemmy probably fall into that category. When you come to them and say “why did you vote him in office?” You’re not asking the right people.

Many of us didn't. In fact, many people didn't vote for anybody, and that was a major part of the problem. These people, usually single issue voters, thought they had the moral high ground by not voting between bad and worst.

Trump received the same number of votes as last election, but Harris received significantly less than Biden did last election. Harris wasn't good enough for a lot of Democrats, and they thought not voting and letting Trump win was better than tossing their morals aside on a single issue.
