I see you are only attracted to mimicking Elon Musk symbolism in one-line X media platform fashion when you approach symbolic systems. Everything is entertainment mockery to you: VW hippy busses are pro-Nazi symbols, LOL LOL LOL. The echo-chamber is inside your brain, only able to repeat what horrible leaders have conditioned your mind to parrot. In this case, Adolph Hitler values and Elon Musk values into Twitter-length X simulacra response on Lemmy media platform in April 2025.
"That such remoteness from reality and such thoughtlessness can wreak more havoc than all the evil instincts taken together" - Hannah Arendt
You can take the Twitter users off of Twitter, but you can't take the Twitter out of their brain. 8 whole words of parroting symbols.

“For when I speak of the banality of evil, I do so only on the strictly factual level, pointing to a phenomenon which stared one in the face at the trial. Eichmann was not Iago and not Macbeth, and nothing would have been farther from his mind than to determine with Richard III 'to prove a villain.' Except for an extraordinary diligence in looking out for his personal advancement, he had no motives at all… He merely, to put the matter colloquially, never realized what he was doing… It was sheer thoughtlessness—something by no means identical with stupidity—that predisposed him to become one of the greatest criminals of that period. And if this is 'banal' and even funny, if with the best will in the world one cannot extract any diabolical or demonic profundity from Eichmann, this is still far from calling it commonplace… That such remoteness from reality and such thoughtlessness can wreak more havoc than all the evil instincts taken together which, perhaps, are inherent in man—that was, in fact, the lesson one could learn in Jerusalem.” ― Hannah Arendt, Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil
I almost bought one too, but something about the car (id7) didn't work for me. I hope they can improve it before my current car breaks down.
What was it? I'm curious!
Mostly a feeling, but I think it's due to the control/media systems being too complex. Too much stuff.
I absolutely hated that the car picked up something we said as its control words and told us that it didn't understand what we wanted. Bit of a dystopic moment, especially when it happened right when I was trying to figure out how to work the car.
That AI stuff just 100% positively MUST be opt-in.
Did this not happen before? Or was it just a few countries I remember reading about? I don't see how BYD won't surpass both in the next 10 years with the way investment has gone for China vs VW.
VW will always have the advantage of being from Europe. Tesla's decline has shown how much politics can influence people's purchase decisions. I know many people wouldn't consider buying a Chinese car, myself included, even while acknowledging that they're pretty good from a technical perspective.
Byd dealerships are just starting to pop out of the ground. They are not in full swing in Germany, yet. Will be interesting when they fully ramp up their sales.
In The Netherlands too, they run big billboard ads and tv commercial like all established companies do.
Cars are a funny thing, they tend not to be logical purchases
