A Facebook group for Cybertruck owners is full of videos and photos of passersby and other drivers flicking them off, leaving notes that say “WHAT’S ELON’S CUM TASTE LIKE?,” and “NAZI CAR,” and people kicking their cars, throwing slices of cheese at it, etc.

You forgot no safer than a ford pinto.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

Like 13 times less safe than a Ford Pinto, and ~50x worse (for fires) than another EV.

Oh, the Pinto, with it's missing gas tank design, and later rebranding as the Ford Mustang after killing so many in a firey death. Gotta love the Pinto...

Edit: to be clear, I'd rather drive it than the boxy Prius wannabe.

Dude, what did the Prius do to you?

[–] 01189998819991197253@infosec.pub 1 points 15 hours ago

The boxy Prius wannabe? A lot. The real Prius, nothing. It's a rather nice vehicle, actually (not the box).

It'd be funny if true but the Pinto sold for longer than the Gen II mustang, they just looked similar

Aw man! The colloquial history was wrong. Sorry about that, mate. The pinto took design factors from the Mustang Gen I. After the Pinto failed, the Mustang II took design factors from the Pinto. However, the colloquial history of one being a reskinn of the other is utterly wrong. Good story, though haha
