I thought this was aneurysm posting for a minute.

[–] ABetterTomorrow@lemm.ee 8 points 2 days ago

Bet they did it themselves

Spends 100k on the ugliest car ever produced. Literally cannot string a sentence togather. Has reproduced.

[–] RapidCatLauncher@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 days ago

His problem is that he's stringing too many sentences together.

[–] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 135 points 3 days ago (3 children)

I'm probably being prejudiced here, but I'm a little irked that someone who won't put a coherent sentence together is complaining about the persecution of their $100k Nazi vehicle.

OK, it’s not just me then

At least in the US people routinely get predatory loans for cars with super long terms to make the monthly payment lower. A base model cybertruck is "only" like $70k so at 7.3% APR and a 7 year loan you can get that down to $900 a month, which is still a lot of money but some people make bad financial decisions of this level all the time, and I would imagine the people who would buy a cubertruck are more likely to be in this group than not.

[–] tankplanker@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (2 children)

The US car market sounds absolutely wild, I have zero interest in owning any modern car long term due to how expensive it would be to fix once its out of warranty and after 7 years its going to be worth fuck all so I would have ate the entire purchase price plus interest.

I believe the most common way in Europe for private buyers of brand new cars is PCP, so the purchase price is offset by a guaranteed future value for the car at the end of the deal (usually three years), which the finance arm of the manufacturer is on the hook for. If its worth more you sell the car on and make a "profit", if its value is less you hand it back and you lose nothing.

I have done the latter with multiple cars and it costs the financing arm thousands in each case.

Sure I never own the car, but I really don't want to, and this enables me to only pay at most the depreciation of the car during my ownership period.

Obviously buying used and running it till it drops should be cheaper, but that's complicated by cost savings of fuel vs. EV charging costs, the ever increasing repair costs as you start to age out simpler older cars, and other increased running costs such as insurance.

[–] markovs_gun@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Bear in mind this is almost entirely caused by the stupidity of the American consumer. You can also lease cars like you're describing, and you can also buy a used Honda Civic for under $20k that will last you forever and you can get loans on more reasonable terms. People just don't do those because they see they can get a really nice car for an "affordable" monthly price and get stars in their eyes.

That’s called a lease here, and you don’t actually own it. You are basically renting it long term.

To be fair, people like this are more than likely paying $1000/mo for 8 or even 9 years at absolutely dogshit APR. They’re getting fucked from both ends on these things.

[–] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

For that kind of money, they should have gotten an RV. Then they could at least live in it if they need to.

[–] SolarMonkey@slrpnk.net 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

But it has tent mode! You can’t set it up easily and you can’t use the power while plugged in but it’s totally a camper!!!

That's another hilarious part. People have been sleeping in minivans and SUVs, and pickup beds for a long time. How did they manage to make it worse? I'd rather spend a night in a Grand Cherokee than that nonsense.

5 years ago I would have called the guy writing the message a bot

Now I know for sure that he not, because he is less intelligent than a bot.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 23 points 3 days ago (2 children)

What the fuck are they on about with the USB?

[–] IphtashuFitz@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Teslas have a Sentry Mode that enables recording of all the cameras when the car is locked and a USB flash drive is plugged in.

The car can also record clips when you do things like honk the horn, as a way to try to capture relevant video before an accident etc.

[–] neomachino@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Sooo, if you break in to a cybertruck just make sure you steal the flash drive?

[–] yuri@pawb.social 4 points 2 days ago

Sounds stupid but I've seen trams whose computer interface is a Java app on Linux booting from an 8GB M-SATA drive with cameras recording to a 16GB USB thumb drive. It's mounted in a bracket that prevents disconnects due to vibrations but the electrical connection is indeed regular USB.

Some features require you to use a USB drive (for example, Dashcam, Sentry Mode and Track Mode, if equipped,) that meet these requirements:

Live in UK, can confirm, the English can barely speak it, typing is often a bridge too far

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 19 points 3 days ago

Clearly the owner is as masterful with critical thinking as he is at expressing his thoughts.

[–] OmegaLemmy@discuss.online 21 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

I can write better German as an A1 than this person can speak English, even though they were born in America, and lived to be in their fourties, with no other auxillary language to their know how

[–] accideath@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago

I’m German and my English is more coherent when I’m stoned than whatever OOP word-vomited into existence.

Did JD Vance give this guy a stroke too? While he was writing?

[–] justsquigglez@lemm.ee 22 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Allowing a child to ride in one of those things should be a criminal offense

[–] i_stole_ur_taco@lemmy.ca 22 points 3 days ago

But they’re the only ones buying them!

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 17 points 3 days ago

I don't know how they broke in

Probably just threw a baseball at it.

[–] systemglitch@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

No car/truck window on earth can stop me for more than ten seconds max. In reality it only takes as long as my foot kicking through the window.

I have a 100% success rate kicking windows out so far.

They really are not made to withstand that kind of force when delivered properly.

[–] real_squids@sopuli.xyz 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I'm pretty sure they use laminated glass all around, so you're better off using one of those hammers or rings that concentrate force on a single point

edit: theoretically of course

Oh my god, that's awful - his genes are continuing...

[–] totallyNotARedditor@lemm.ee 7 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (3 children)

Anyone wondering about the writing, that person might not be a native English speaker.

Edit: I'm saying this as a non native speaker btw

[–] pedz@lemmy.ca 16 points 3 days ago

Possible. However as a non native English speaker myself, I kind of take pride in making sure I'm understood, and grammatically cromulent.

And i've seen multiple people apologizing for their English, then having a better vocabulary and grammar than most native speakers.

Of course some people can barely make a sentence in a second or third language. It's quite possible. I'm really bad at making coherent sentences in German, even after many years of studying it. But in my experience, non native speakers tend to be careful about this.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Anyone wondering about the writing, that person might ~~not~~ be a native English speaker

That makes more sense honestly.

People communicating in their non-native tongue tend to be more precise (if clumsy) in order to get their point across more clearly/with a greater success rate.

If I had to guess, native English speaker or not, this person prob speaks English most of the day every day, it's just what it is.

Pride in not causing mass aneurisms aside, communication for some people is just really hard & takes a lot of energy (and not communicating bcs of that is depressive), so y'all better don't be shaming that.

Now - wondering how someone can break a car window (that doesn't have any applicable certificates to that point), that is def weird.
