it’d be a neat idea if cars actually regularly had to interact with projectiles! y’know what cars DO have to interact ALL THE TIME?

I don't know how anyone thinks buying a Tesla, and in any way supporting the guy supporting the Nazis in the EU, is acceptable.
Other nazis and those who won't admit they are nazis are okay with it.
This ☝️. Even buying a BMW, VW, or Porsche (former Nazi conspirators) probably isn't as bad as buying a Tesla from a current-day Nazi
This is what I don't get. BMW, VW, and Porsche are all companies that supported the Nazis. Assuming that 99% of all employees at those companies when they supported the Nazis are no longer working there, what does it matter that they supported the Nazis? BMW, VW, and Porsche aren't a real person each. There's no Mr. BMW going into a secret mountain lair snickering while rubbing their hands together. It's really just a name for an economic system. The people all change like the boards on the ship of Theseus. And it wasn't BMW's, VW's, or Porsche's fault for not having just ethics. The entire country was taken over by Nazi's. Surely the people that resisted were removed or punished. Maybe some employees pulled a Schindler and protected people as best they could. Others tried that CIA sabotage manual shit that's hilarious. Some were all about Nazis. But, none of those people are there anymore in any effectual number. In other words, BMW is just a name as I understand it. Is there something I'm missing? Do we need to rename it to something else so that suddenly the root essence that supported the Nazi's is removed? While we're at it, do we need to rename Germany/Deutchland or shame them until they change their name?
I agree with many of your points. My last car was a BMW and I currently drive an Audi. This article from 2022 about David de Jong's book Nazi Billionaires goes into pretty good depth about this

Why the fuck would someone be deluded enough to think this attribute of a vehicle is important enough for any established manufacturer to even give it the courtesy of a thought.
Adding something nobody asked for, for no reason, that nobody would ever be in a situation to find it useful only underscores just how impulsive and idiotic of a poseur Musk is. Though, I guess if I was some Nazi cunt, I might add "bullet-resistant transportation" to my list of requirements too.

Imagine making a social media account just to rusty trombone a corporation
This looks more like desperation. An "investor" desperately trying to keep themselves afloat.
I mean, aim for the windows?
My mother in laws car looked like that after a heavy hail storm, this is not a gun being used lol. What a pathetic publicity stunt.
They re did that stunt at release. They changed it up to gingerly throwing a tennis ball instead.
Everyone should watch the Top Gear Hilux episodes, and ask if a Cybertruck could go through that.
Some YouTubers have beaten up more modern trucks too.
Some youtuber got a wankpanzer and, I think, an f150 to do "durability tests" with. Since the actual point is to create internet content, and the creator might kinda like elon for some reason, it's obvious that the tests and their results are ridiculous. It's like:
"Oh, no! The cybertruck's frame snapped off! There goes your trailer! The air suspension broke! The stupid tablet became a disco party of red warnings! ...but the f150 couldn't jump 5 feet into the air, and also the door has a hole in it from when we used explosives, issues which the cybertruck doesn't have. So they're neck and neck, really."
whistling douche bag
Yeah I saw that one, TBH that guy has major ADHD (which I can sympathize with).
This guy is in to Telsa. Like enough to make an account for them. Odd.
There was just stronger wind picking up some pebbles...
This was done with a hammer.
Perfect for the mall ninja crowd
Pity it can't hold up to a guy tugging on the bezel with one hand
that just means you need to bring a bigger bullet
