Am I the only person who gets embarrassed by osmosis whenever one of these things is around? It's not even my vehicle and I am still embarrassed by it.
PS: So many of these ridiculous things around me ATM.
86I wanted one back before we knew what they looked like.
I still wanted it after based on specs and price once it was announced.
When it came out smaller, less range, twice the price, and slathered in the stink of everything musk has done since 2019, I can't help but shake my head in disappointment every time I see one. Absolute disaster compared to what could have been.
18Don't forget how they quietly abandoned the unique chassis design.
13Yeah, and it's odd, the little changes they had to do to make the concept into a production model took a vehicle that was right on the cusp of being too stupid to be cool (couldn't blame someone who thought it already fell on the wrong side) and pushed it straight into rusty Pontiaz Aztek territory.
A safety bumper here, a road-suspension height there, add a few dashes of munufacturable glass and some cost cutting, and it's just... frumpy. Even apart from Elon revealing the true scope of his crazy to the world, this is a miss. I also assume most concept photos avoided the "I'm bored now let's finish it and go home!" rear angles of the design.

I'm embarrassed to be in the same reality and timeline, let alone the same space as one of those things
18I saw one for the first time ever recently and it looks even worse in person than in pictures. I have still, mercifully, only ever seen one.
11There is a red one where I live.
Red.
Looks like it stole its mother's lipstick. Worst one yet.

I saw one IRL omw home and I burst out laughing at how stupid it looked. Didn't stop laughing till I got home.

it's the electric homer. without the class.

What does osmosis have to do with anything?
1I think it looks cool

A middle finger might imply that you have "haters" who are jealous of and you have the satisfaction that you are "pissing people off".
A thumbs-down implies that people think you're a fukkin' loser, with no other implications.
👎 > 🖕
57In my opinion your comment is spot on.
I still like to imagine roman times. Thumbs down at the driver in their colossal pedestrian death machine.
Historians are not really sure though in which direction the thumb should point for the kill, but certainly keep it away from the frunk.
Edit: English grammar is hard.
10What about double-jerkoff?

A thumbs down is also non-aggressive. The middle finger is escalating and can be considered provocation. Thumbs down is just an expression of disapproval. It's less inflammatory and cuts deeper.
43My wife and I both use the "thumbs down" method. It's funniest when we're both doing it to some ass-hat, while riding together.
It often de-escalates the person though, as if they don't know how to respond. They usually just make angry gestures and mutter (probably obscenities) to themselves, but their rage usually chills out a bit. It's almost like you make them aware of how childish they're acting

It’s so much more powerful. Expressing disappointment.
25I throw them a jack-off sign. I mean no beating around the bush, they bought the Wankpanzer.
21That car is even more embarrassing than someone taking a picture of themselves giving a thumbs down.
20The person that owns that probably craves attention and a thumbs down or up gives the a rush.
16This is the way
16Oh look, it's a Cyberfridge.
11No, that's extra and it doesn't even fit in the """frunk"""
4I just call them what they look like, dumpster trucks.

Yea, but I feel like if I give the annoying local church who always sets up a forced-birth protest spot on the side of the road a thumbs down instead of a flip off when I pass them they might think I'm agreeing with them or something
7Very relevant, lol
4Abby Normal said what now?

When someone cuts me off in traffic these days I just give them a big thumbs up.
4We're not angry we're just disappointed.
3If Man Getting Hit by Football was a car, it'd be this one.
