“Sculptor Chavis Mármol has never owned a car, but that’s never inhibited his drive. Earlier this month, the 42-year-old Mexico City-based artist (who travels largely by bicycle) dropped a nine-ton replica of an Olmec head onto the roof of a blue Tesla Model 3 in a crushing display posted to Instagram on March 11. Mármol told Hyperallergic that his intention was “to satirize the Tesla brand and its creator.””

Jalopnik:

"This may still come as a surprise to a lot of you, but the Tesla Cybertruck sucks. Not only is it bad at being a truck, it's also a bad vehicle in general. I mean, you can't seriously tell me you'd rather buy a truck that can be bricked by a simple car wash instead of a Rivian R1T? Really? I don't remember any Rivian owners complaining about body panels flying off their trucks while driving, but that's absolutely a thing with Cybertrucks. In fact, body panels flying off has become enough of an issue that Tesla has paused Cybertruck deliveries for now, Electrek reports."

👀 😂

Oh Lord, we should have known if we didn't. The Wankpanzer is basically an Apartheid era enforcement truck, except with sheet metal falling off.

#Musk and his fans aren't even proper fascists, they're parodies of the fascists they *want* to be. 🤦🏼‍♀️

The intention should be taken completely seriously, and we should also laugh in their faces.

Onward, #TeslaTakedown!
