The car thread ...

[1 CAT FAN]

While the Cybertruck's banning is unlikely to have a major impact on the overall EV uptake in any of the U.K.'s countries, it could continue to hurt Tesla's overall European sales, which have been declining at a sharp rate in recent months....

A better decision than some stupid leftist attempt to use a molotov.

The Elon fuckups just keep compounding:

Tesla customers shocked after uncovering truth about 'new' vehicles they purchased — and it's part of a discouraging trend

Tesla customers have serious concerns about receiving vehicles that have deteriorated from months of outdoor storage, as one Texas buyer discovered when they learned their "new" Cybertruck had been sitting in a lot since January....

Opps. Otoh, I don't have any sympathy for people who are still buying Teslas, especially Cybertrucks.

I dove by the local Tesla dealership a couple of days ago, must've been ten cybertrucks on the lot.

Never seen that before.

IS IT A BIRD? ‘Car embedded in building AGAIN’ – Shocking moment vehicle smashes into newly repaired roof of veteran’s hall a 2nd time
Watch the shocking car crash in our player

THIS is the shocking moment a car flew through the air and smashed into the roof of a local veteran's hall for the second time in just three months.

The Clay-Ray Veterans Memorial Hall in Excelsior Springs, Missouri, was still repairing its roof when a driver lodged their vehicle in it again.




... Locals first spotted a car lodged in the roof of the hall back in February

But just three months later on Wednesday morning, a driver suffered a medical emergency at the wheel causing their vehicle to fly off the road and become embedded in the exact same part of the roof....

Shocking footage shows the moment the car goes airborne before colliding with the roof of the building scattering debris everywhere.

The engine can be seen being launched out of the car due to the impact and disintegrating as it hit the ground near the building's flagpole....

"If that engine comes out I couldn't imagine how a human wouldn't come out of the car if he wasn't wearing a seatbelt," Lt. Ryan Dowdy from the Excelsior Springs police told the outlet.

Driver Corrie Wright, 56, who was later identified by cops as an Excelsior Springs resident was able to walk away from the crash to an ambulance.

He had suffered a seizure at the wheel at around 7:20 am local time which caused him to veer off the road and crash into the building, family and police reported.

Wright was volunteering for the Good Samaritan Center and was on his way to drop off food when he had the seizure.

He suffered minor to moderate injuries and will not face any criminal charges as a result the Excelsior Citizen reported.

Posting to Facebook, the veterans organization said, "Here we go AGAIN!! Round 2."

Locals joked in the comments asking, "Have yall considered putting a 'No Parking' sign up there?"

Another suggested repairing the roof and adding in a ramp "that redirects cars back onto the road like a loop-de-loop kind of thing"....
