    Any bets they’re buying the Swastikars to use as sacrificial power sources for some kind of IED’s…

      They could be the IED. Self drive to target trigger on brake or crash… Probably just strip the cyber truck for parts and batteries it wouldn’t make it to target

    … on the rise in February and March, with Tesla leading in sales of used electric cars.

    Translation: used Teslas are now so unpopular, that only people regularly bombarded by Russia are willing to buy them (they probably dustrust Chinese cars more).

      It’s literally just “give me the cheapest car on the lot” and Teslas are bottom of the barrel

      Ukrainians have been buying John Deere tractors for years… and reprogramming them.

      No reason why they couldn’t do the same with Teslas.

      At the end of the day, it’s a unibody steel frame with some electric motors and batteries.

      Ripping out Elon’s shitty electronics and replacing them with something better isn’t going to be in the ‘too hard’ basket for Ukraine.

        Look up Rich Rebuilds on YT. He not only defied Tesla by rebuilding one from totaled Telsas with otherwise functional parts. But he also built one with (iirc) a V8 gas engine.
