    I don’t hurl insults at Tesla owners. If they’re dumb enough to stick to owning a car more likely to explode than a Pinto while not even having the panels line up correctly on a $40k “luxury” car, then there’s no pox I could wish on them worse than what they’re already signed up for. dumpster-fire

      LOL oh no, these panels are slightly askew and it’s fixed for free immediately. The horror… what have I done to myself?

        You paid money for it, so you must downplay bad, even dangerous, things about your purchase. so-true

          You obviously have no experience with the cars and are posting one-off issue articles from years ago.

          Believe it or not, I am quite happy with my purchase.

            Sunk-cost fallacy intensifies

            You want to banish your doubts soooo badly that you keep jerking it on the FuckCars section of this site of all places. Why are you even here besides the usual Tesla “look at me look at me” validation cravings?

        I love day one patches for my games instead of just having one that works

          The car worked fine with a misaligned panel. Not sure what you’re getting at.

This community exists as a sister community/copycat community to the r/fuckcars subreddit.

This community exists for the following reasons:

  • to raise awareness around the dangers, inefficiencies and injustice that can come from car dependence.
  • to allow a place to discuss and promote more healthy transport methods and ways of living.

You can find the Matrix chat room for this community here.

Rules

  1. Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn’t choose car-centric life out of free will.

  2. No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don’t use slurs. You can laugh at someone’s fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.

  3. Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don’t post literal car fucking.

  4. No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.

  5. No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn’t a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.

  6. No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.

  7. No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.

Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.
