The ultimate irony would be for them to start buying up EV. Now if there's any way to get them to think they're pissing off the libs by enacting reasonable environmental, gun, and LGBTQ/women's rights we'd be on a roll.

Buy a Cybertruck; convert it to an ICE vehicle.
Third option: Blame Soros or Biden
Making choices in the "free market" of capitalism:
- A car that will destroy your health, community, planet, etc.
- A fascist car that will destroy your health, community, the planet slightly slower, etc.
Remember: Without a car you will live in poverty and isolation at best.
Its always good to note that roadways and parking- like trains, electricity, sewers, drinking water- are a public design choice made by politicians and are choices with consequences that affect everyone.
Simply buy a cybertruck and put a generator in the back that's constantly running to charge it.
That would still make them cleaner than a diesel ICE truck. Since the generator can continuously run at a constant rpm where the engine burns the fuel efficiently. So that would also generate the least particulate matter since the burn would be cleaner.
There is a Canadian company called Edison who will retrofit a truck into a hybrid. They add two electric axle engines and convert the IC engine into a generator to charge the batteries.
With all the ICE cars in use, I would love to see hybrid retrofitting go mainstream
It’d be a great repair for cars that need a new engine block.
Are you suggesting they drive... a hybrid?!
As long as you keep the generator running when you're driving it's just an externally located internal combustion engine.
So an external combustion engine.
No the combustion occurs internally in the externally located engine.
The ship has been towed outside the environment.
My head hurts
They could use a stirling engine as a generator, that’s what an external combustion engine looks like.
Also a fire hazard.
There are videos that walk through how to "de-pussify" (or some other misogynistic term) cyber trucks to make them run on diesel. I don't know enough about cars or cyber trucks to know how valid they are.
That's hilarious. I'm guessing it would end up about as structurally sound as this
Implying the vast majority of their voter base can even afford Tesla's.
The ones that do would have to forgo owning a huge lifted truck which I guess would also be a benefit.
It's still not going to even come close to bail Elon out of the situation he's in on account of so many big export markets now refusing to buy his shit, so he's fucked regardless. No-win for him, all-win for us
How long before Tesla's next car has a combustion engine?
Maybe they will run on trumps “clean coal” lol
They could exclusively charge at those superchargers directly powered by fossil fuels https://www.sfgate.com/centralcoast/article/tesla-interstate-5-supercharger-power-plant-18343119.php
Like most of them could afford a Tesla.
Cash advance services see 800% profit with this one weird trick!
One weird truck*
If they sold the kidneys of their entire family, maybe.
Compromise, buy the tesla but destroy it so no one can drive it
I was wondering about this earlier today. How to they reconcile "Elon is God" with "Electrification goes against my fReEdOm"?!
Easy. You are allowed to drive an electric vehicle as long as you drink two full cups of leaded gasoline a day.
Where do electric cars fit into "drill baby drill"?
I think they should go for it and buy the 21st century Pinto. No one, not a soul, is laughing at them. I swear.
Hey now, the Pinto at least had to be in an accident first before it would blow up.
They do not have to be Registered Nurses.
Judging by the effects of the market on Tesla stock, I really don't think this is the struggle that the meme suggests it is.
They will still find a way to make exhaust pour out the back
Yeah, after the batteries explode.
Teslas are already very good at emitting plumes of smoke without their help, tyvm.
Or making them overly loud and obnoxious for no reason
Have you not heard the WRUWRUWRUWRUWRU
Thanks to pollution credits, Elon gets paid regardless of whether they choose to drive an EV.
Leftists be like 
Click both, get a hybrid
spoiler
People on the internet who obsess with left-right politics are a psyop, including maga grifters who think discourse about the environment is a lib-thing.
😆 I think most people here didn’t get the joke
I think it is a good one
