I have a new Prius and my parents have a Tesla. I am very happy with my Prius but my dad is always trying to make me feel like I should have bought a Tesla and I made the wrong choice. Now he’s scared to visit me in the city because someone might scratch a swastika in his car. So who made the wrong choice again?
Toyota >>>>> Tesla
Any day

I mean listen, show me a good auto manufacturer that hasn’t been controlled by a fascist government?

Well, as of Jan 2025 that eliminates all American car brands.
As of years before World War 2, Henry Ford was a fucking nazi.
He was indeed. I was referring to all the others.

“good” already did 😉
Yeah there are some good car parts made here, but then they get installed in the worst designs and build quality since 1970s Britain.
Yep, (and even if not for him we did have Andrew Jackson once) German, Japanese, and south Korean are out too. Italy is doubly eliminated.
The Aussie auto industry when it was still going made some good stuff!
Australia isn’t real. Its a joint Chinese-new zealish psy op to make Brits do a silly accent dometjnes
You mean Ford and Holden (GM)? I love the idea of utes, especially instead of to dozers we have in the US, but their cars mostly 1960s evolved tech, until they started sticking Japanese motors in some of the Holdens in the 90s.
Yup those two manufacturers, and don’t forget the mighty Barra

Absolutely amazing unit those things,
Yeah, I’ve seen lots of Mighty Car Mods and Skid Factory about them, in the US LS engines make too much sense to bother with a L6 of any kind.
are we counting pre-1988 south korea
Yes
The Texas factory is nearly twice as big as the CA one, is where the Cybertruck is made, and is the HQ of Tesla ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I have seen Priuses with 700.000 km on their odometer for sale. Tesla drivers are lucky if they can reach 200.000.
There are Model S with over a million, but they also had multiple battery and drive unit replacements.
Meanwhile the OG Prius has a bulletproof engine and a broken battery can easily be repaired in your backyard with very little tools or knowledge required, barely more difficult than changing out a starter battery in an ICE car
Shouldn’t the plural of Prius be Prii?
Priuses or Priusii
Normally a latin word ending in -us is pluralized by making it end in -i.
Alumnus -> Alumni
Cactus -> Cacti
Stimulus -> Stimuli
Prius -> Prii
The new prius looks really nice. I sat in one recently and the headroom isn’t great, but I’m 6’4" and I was sitting in the back.
Rode in a Prius 5 deep to a wedding reception and was kind of surprised by how much room there was inside ( first gen, I was one of 3 in the back) and the torque was impressive as well.
I still see a lot of them on the road , so the build quality is probably superior to tesla junk
The Prius V is spacious AF. Hopefully they make a new version of that as well.
I’ll admit, it’s small inside. But I’m short (5’2") and my husband isn’t exactly tall (5’7"), and it’s perfect for both of us.
Even without all of that you are better off getting the Prius. It means you don’t have to deal with the utter nightmare that is Tesla customer support, It’s always worth thinking about what happens when something inevitably goes wrong.
Plus of course you can always take the Prius to a generic mechanic. But they never have pants for Tesla’s I don’t think Tesla let them out. They are like Apple in that respect.
Good god, this story is so fake that it hurts. It makes me cringe that someone would type this out.
The only thing that’s missing is that everyone started clapping.
yeah people should stop adding the entire room being interested in random conversations to their fake stories. an entire room of people doesn’t even listen to a fucking lecture that they paid for.
I read your comment out loud and everyone in my room stared clapping.
You we’re alone weren’t you? Maybe a friend or two?
Story’s fake but the swastikas being painted on cyber trucks right now are real.
My best friend has spent the past 2 years in Mongolia. He said all the herders there drive Priuses in the winter time when it is too cold to ride their horses. Apparently the Prius is the ultimate off roading vehicle in sub zero temperatures.
Even in the cities, almost everyone drives a Prius or at least something Toyota. Drop a streetview anywhere in UB and it’s Prius-land as far as the eye can see. Also tons of them in Caucasus countries. But, weirdly enough, exceedingly rare in Russia. I still wonder why that is.
Back in the day you could call someone’s iPhone a Blackberry to annoy them. Though in this case Steve Jobs is a nazi
Something tells me if he was alive today he’d be aligning with the Nazi party anyway.
He went whichever way the wind was blowing. Think Different. Like smell bad, wash your feet in toilets, and screw your business partner different.
Oh, so it’s like a Prius, but it can’t run off gas?
car brain seems powerful where these people live (I would assume the US)
YOU WOULDN’T MISNAME A CAR
The amount of ThatHappened.jpg in this thread could blot out the sun.
Its a meme, chill.
Nowadays I only admit I have a Tesla if people ask. If they call it something else I’m relieved.
Don’t diss toyotas the men in technicals will pick you up any day now
How do people know the name of car models, it makes me feel I don’t belong to this world.
Same way we knew the names of dinosaurs I guess
