I will laugh my ass off when this thing breaks down and catches on fire during their “tactical response” after someone throws a water bottle at it.
I’m going to laugh my ass off when someone figures out how to track them all in real time, and shares it on a publicly accessible website.
The first casualty of those battery fires is probably going to be someone handcuffed and locked in the back seat.
While the cop is outside after hitting update on the app.
I hope they explode
battery fires are not at all common in electric vehicles. this is propaganda
On this planet, we have a concept called ‘humor,’ which involves exaggeration and absurdity for the purpose of getting a laugh. I hope this comes to your own world someday.
repeat falsehoods often enough and people believe them, even if you originally mean them as a well-intentioned and obvious joke
Sorry… are people repeating the falsehood that Cybertrucks catch fire if you throw a water bottle at them?
no but they ARE repeating the falsehood about battery fires being likely or common: https://lemmy.world/comment/10496586
(which is something your joke implied)
Or I implied that the Cybertruck is a badly-constructed piece of shit.
you may have INTENDED to imply only that, but you did imply both unfortunately. I agree with you on the cyber truck part, but I deal with a lot of slightly more rural folks and the big fear RN with electric vehicles is somehow battery fires. which is crazy since they don’t happen anywhere near as often as gas vehicles. so I’m just trying to say we should be careful to avoid that particular cliche (the battery fire part) since it misleads people
