Is the "love the car" some shibboleth among Tesla owners? It always pops up in posts where they describe all the tings broke and wrong with their Teslas (especially the Deploreans). They are absolute suckers for accepting their 100k trucks being pure lemons.

It's sad to see.  At this point there are several EVs out there at the same price point or better that are objectively better cars.

The state of American politics right now makes me sad.

Sorry to all wattm'ers getting caught up in this shit, even if you voted for it or not.

At what point do we start seeing politicians (and other influential American's) giving the nazi salute then the audience saluting back? Unfortunately it feels like it wont be long.  Then you know that shits really gotten out of hand.

Im not a praying person but my heart goes out to the people of Ukraine who are caught up in all the ongoing war atrocities, and have to deal with Trump and Musk's cluster fuck allegations and politicizing.  The mind truly boggles at what their end game visions are.  It's going to harm EU/UK - US relations hard in the long term which is an awful thing for the world in general. 

Makes me feel angry, insignificant and useless. 

DOGE Staffer Known as ‘Big Balls’ Reportedly the Grandkid of a KGB Spy

So anyway, a former KGB agent’s grandkid who seemingly did not have to undergo a background check has unprecedented access to sensitive State Department data. That’s just a thing that is happening now. Is it a big deal? I have no idea. It’s just one of those details that you hear and you’re like, “Yeah that sounds like a likely thing to happen with these guys.”

Well, at least the AfD just lost the German election. So much for election interference efforts by Musk this time around.

i think this sentiment is building in the minds of the kinds of people who would do some crazy shit like this.. but tesla spends a couple million a year on security for him so i don't expect that that type of maladjusted person who'd do this kind of thing would be successful.
