    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.

      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.

      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.

        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.

    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.

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

    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

    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

      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.

      Nah this is how people I went to high school with write. For some people, writing is apparently kept in an entirely different part of their brain from normal speech and they can’t just write the way they talk, it’s just pure stream of consciousness.

      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.
