Kinda funny
When I was younger we moved around a bit and at some point I made a friend who was also a little weird like me
And his dad drove a car from the vid above! Not the Tesla but a hearse(edited!) and it was funny!
Everyone was always talking about it and no Tesla could top it for sure
He was a tattoo artist so it fit
@stux love love love this. If they came in Electric i would get one. My husband and I are really loving the Bolt EV right now. And loved our old Leaf too. It would be hard to go back to a gas car. But i always wanted a hearse. Once a year our local Victorian cemetery, Laurel Hill does a hearse show https://laurelhillphl.com/event/hearse-show/
There are some really tricked out hearses there. The cemetery itself displays theirs which is Purple!
@stux if you buy the first vehicle, you'll likely soon need the second.
@stux feels like the lady with the Hearse would be on Mastodon or would fit in very well here.
@crowbriarhexe Does that mean you will become my grandma? 
@Lazarou @stux
Hearse here we come! Which I guess is generally true for everyone at all times, but very specifically different in this case @stux the swastikatruck is more like an El Camino that mated with a refrigerator and is definitely not a truck. The interior is cheaper looking than my Chevy sonic and no mention of the doors locking crash victims in their burning death trap
@BLTpizza @stux I like how even the woman calling it a "Cybertruck" called the bed a "trunk".
It is a low resolution hatchback, with a truck like plastic bed liner under a low angle hatch that closes vaguely like a garage door. It is a mishmash of bad and poorly executed design ideas dictated to a scared engineer with no autonomy, told to "do it or you are fired", with basic safety standards ripped out as "unnecessary".
Will be taught at university for centuries as "how to kill a car company".
@Urban_Hermit @BLTpizza @stux Given all the shoddy workmanship, it's surprising that anyone buys them. Or do they all have to be ordered, so the buyer gets theirs sight unseen?
@analogfusion @Urban_Hermit @BLTpizza @stux
Tesla can barely give them away at present. They're all under a recall notice.
@analogfusion @BLTpizza @stux it is hard to demonstrate in a dealership how to die in a fire because all 3 types of doors are locked electronically and will not unlock automatically when the power goes out.
@stux Wow it even has four wheels. Unique features all around.
@zaicurity @stux yeah, her pride at the existence of a glove box is just.... !!
WHY @stux wow. Amazing, thanks for sharing.
I saw in the thread that the comparison is with a hearse. Could you consider adding something like “while another woman excellently demonstrates how a hearse has the same features” to the alt-text. Maybe even add the bit about the coffin as a prop, so non-sighted people can also enjoy this?
@stux Oh hell yeah!
@stux Besides, it's always a plus to know who's the cooler, non-Nazi person.
@stux I wonder which woman gets the middle finger 30 times a day?
Matera the Mad@stux but can you chop carrots and wieners with your hearse? 
@stux "You look like a total badass driving your kids around in this"
@mdstevens0612 @stux Correction: "You look like a total ass driving your kids around in this."
@Karen5Lund @mdstevens0612 @stux yeah that line...oh lady, the badass is the other lady in a hearse blasting Dragula you poor deluded suburban white bitch with terrible taste.
@foxydonuts @Karen5Lund @stux The other lady could have blasted Sabrina Carpenter in a 2006 Corolla and still have been more bad ass. The swastikkkar is perhaps the least bad ass vehicle ever made, rivaled only by Ford F150s driven exclusively to the minimall and back
@mdstevens0612 @Karen5Lund @stux 
you are so very on point with this. The Nazi dumpster wagon is so bad on every conceivable dimension and metric.
@foxydonuts @mdstevens0612 @stux A few hours after I wrote that, I was on my way to a local museum and on the walk between the bus stop and my destination I saw *two* Cyberfucks parked on the same block, just one (normal) car between them. Made my eyes hurt. It felt like I'd somehow walked into an early video game with badly rendered graphics.
@Karen5Lund @mdstevens0612 @stux And there it is! I -knew- some one would have already made that comment (or one like it) by now! Soooo true!
@cjpaloma @mdstevens0612 @stux I was surprised someone didn't make it before me.
and the kids get all that social interaction with their friend’s moms flipping them off!
@stux it's a great car until one of the kids runs into the sharp corners
@sotneStatue @stux That's what they call cutting corners.
more likely one of the sharp corners runs into a kid
@stux music choice is chef's kiss
@stux The struggle to open the glove compartment is the realest thing. And the fake one is just…let’s slow everything down for 1/3 the space!
The “there’s so much space to put stuff in!” is just so laughable. Congrats, you made the car 40% longer to get the trunk space of a minivan in a less accessible way.
“I have plenty of room!” says the woman, with 2-3 inches of space while sitting as compactly as she can while the carseats are jammed up under the driver’s elbow.
@stux Even before Ghostbusters I seriously thought about buying a hearse just for the shock effect. I got as far as designing plans for bench seating around a coffin which would of course open up into a full wet bar.
@stux Of course, I was 18 at the time...
@stux@mstdn.social A hearse is the word you're looking for 
@ducky aaah!
@stux you know Mastodon is extremely transparent when it comes to edited posts? there is no need to add it in the post (i'm just writing this because people tried to weaponize editing, even though everyone can still read the original version, if they really want to. So I want more people to know 
)
I hope it was the e-type Jag hearse from Harold and Maude
@stux I knew of a guy who drove one and was going to set up a sound system using a coffin lined with speakers and a foam “body” inside that helped with controlling vibrations. I sure hope he did it.
@stux There’s someone in my city who drives a tricked out hearse. They have a human-sized skeleton riding shotgun with them too 
@stux its a Cadillac hearse with a Miller-Meteor body from the 1950s, widely seen in USA movies whenever a hearse is featured. In Europe we tend to use converted Mercedes or similar size station wagon, and a hearse can often be got quite cheaply as a used vehicle with relatively low mileage (it is unlikely to have been driven hard, but might suffer from the usual problems that affect a car mostly used for short journeys, although nothing that can't be relatively easily fixed)
@stux The “death car” is called a “hearse.” When I was a kid I remember a friend of my sister who had a hearse that he had hopped up with a high performance engine, mag wheels, etc. It made a statement.
Hearses and cybertrucks have different design goals, though.
A hearse is built to transport dead people, inside. 
A cybertruck is designed for dead people OUTSIDE.
What they have in common is that everyone around feels uncomfortable.
@Saupreiss @RandomCanuck @stux The four people who've died in Cybertruck fires so far might disagree with that "outside" part. 
@Saupreiss @stux Ya missed the point.
1) hearse is the correct name for a “death car” in the context of the original post, and
2) I mentioned hot-rodded hearses and chose to illustrate it with a couple of pictures.
@stux
You mean a “hearse”?
As the Wankpanzer is a death car in itself ^_^J
@dzwiedziu @stux at least in a hearse, you're dead *before* you get put in the car
