"Ya gotta sleep sometime" "Well, I'm a real light sleeper, Childs..." It's getting tense out there! ( lemmy.world )

Well, that's fake. Nice idea, but every single picture displays signs of manipulation: Incorrect brightness values, compression artifacts (strangely stronger around the sign), mismatching perspective or difference of quality (sign is more clear than the uncensored part of the license plate below).

Plus who would possibly see a cyber truck and be like “oh okay it’s not a tesla phew”. that’s gotta be the most distinct car since like the Pontiac Aztec or the pt cruiser (both of which were also ugly pieces of shit)

It just has real heavy JPEG.

Here's a Reddit post for the Toyota cybertruck, which looks pretty legit to me. I also really love it - I can't tell if it's the fact that it's an incredibly unconvincing camouflage, or that it looks like it's trying to ruin Toyota's good name by signing it on this piece of junk.

There's also a picture of a Tesla with an Audi sticker going around, but that one was posted to Reddit two years ago so before Elon Musk went full nazi. I like that one because if I saw it in traffic I would have genuinely believed it was an Audi - I don't give enough of a shit about modern car design to notice. Maybe until it starts making fart sounds or crashes into something because the driver is occupied with the gigantic dashboard iPad. But I digress.

Not everything on the internet is fake. There's a bunch of Tesla owners out there, and a lot of them are looking for ways to communicate that driving their car is not an endorsement of fascism.

I've been considering buying some nice stickers that can achieve similar effects without destroying the car, and leaving them under the windshield wipers of parked Teslas around town with alongside a friendly note. I'm sure some people would be happy to use them.
