        Nah, they made the voice speak english with a German accent, but it keeps messing up the directions in roundabouts.

        For some reason the GPS gets confused when directing you to take the third exit in a roundabout and keeps saying: “Take the third reich”

      I mean, the model 3 and Y would be great cars if it weren’t for Elon. Tesla, SpaceX, and the whole world would be much better off without him.

      Edit: also I’m not talking about FSD, I think it’s bullshit and will continue to be bullshit for the foreseeable future. I like to drive my car.

        Until self-driving tech is good enough that you can safely not have a human behind the wheel it isn’t really anything other than a toy.

        As soon as you can remove humans from the equation you can have automated trucks, without even the capacity for a human driver, that’s where the real future is, not in owned vehicles that will always have, by definition, a driver in them anyway.

        VW means people’s car.

        That’s not wrong, but Volk is more nuanced than that. Think somewhere between folk and ethnicity, so it’s still fascist.

          Not entirely true

          Substantiv, Neutrum [das]

          1. durch gemeinsame Kultur und Geschichte [und Sprache] verbundene große Gemeinschaft von Menschen “ein freies, unterdrücktes Volk”

          2. [ohne Plural] Masse der Angehörigen einer Gesellschaft, der Bevölkerung eines Landes, eines Staatsgebiets “das arbeitende, werktätige, unwissende Volk”

            No, it’s definitely not a comprehensive definition, I was going for the meaning in context of VW. The correct response to pedantry is pedantry, though :)

    Fair. I’ll stop calling Swastikars Swastikars, or was it Swasticars? I think it’s Swastikars.
    Anyway, someone cooked up the word Hakencruisers and I really loved it.

        Better, I’d imagine.

        “Oh, here comes a hakencruiser…”

        “A hack and what?”

        Versus “look at that fucking wankpanzer. Fucking wanker.” Can’t go much simpler than that.

      Oh man on the paint? That’s just rude.

      On a cyber truck or late model year…sure. But the ones that bought new before it was obvious how much of a shitheel Musk is…back when the Tesla stood apart as the electric car? Leave those guys alone. Or at least just inconvenience them by putting it on glass.

      Ugh… please reconsider. Many of us bought model 3/Ys years ago because they were a viable option to ditch gas vehicles. It’s bad enough that I’m stuck with this car for a while longer, I really don’t need it getting vandalized making people think I’m a fucking fascist.
