    This doesn’t look like a car nor a truck it’s a combat vehicle. Seriously, who’s impressed by Elon’s shooting and steel ball demonstrations? In what kind of failed state do these Tesla customers live? With a tank hull for a frame and sharp edges all around this looks like a serious safety hazard for passengers and especially pedestrians outside the car.

        dont tell dale that gasoline goes bad in 3-6 months, ethanol blends in 4-6.

        unless someone fires up an oil refinery no one’s driving shit.

        After a year or two, it would be easier to get an off grid system going than finding or making fuel a modern vehicle would run on.

      Hummers were a thing. I can easily see those same people buying this.

      Are you not aware of people in general? MANY think it’s “cool as fuck” and those demonstrations bought them more than any sales tactic other car makers use. Imagine the stereotype of cavemen going “strong thing good, make woman want me, me want strong thing,” and you got a good idea of a disturbing large part of humanity. That shit works extremely well for a lot of people.
