I'm pretty sure I watched a very persuasive infomercial from our president on why we should buy them.

This is obviously due to the liberal media brainwashing consumers not to buy them.

OR...

It's produced by a Nazi.

It could be that this vehicle has averaged a major recall every 60 days since release.

Gas pedal detaches itself for spontaneous fully automated joy rides.

It looks like what happened if oops all polygons fucked a roll of tinfoil.

It rusts, the panels fly off, and if you take it through a car wash it'll total it.

It hasn't lived up to any of the hype or range estimates stated.

The trailer hitch is held on by the polycarbonate (plastic that went to college) frame, so enjoy causing a massive traffic fatality while towing (even within the recommended towing capacity specs).

It's 14 times more dangerous than the Ford Pinto which was on the market 3x longer and became synonymous with explosions.

Lastly, it's become a way of explicitly telling the world I have a $100,000 truck and a $10 brain.

He's not a Nazi, he's just a far-right, authoritarian, ethnonationalist, pretending to be a champion of the working class.

Wow. Post-production quality control. Such dedication.

I bet detachable gas pedals make them easier to replace.

Probably saved a lot of money in design by not having to pay a bunch of liberal artists.

Those are sacrificial anodes. They're supposed to rust. The panels are ablative hull armor designed to mitigate damage to the unibody and distract rival drivers, thereby assisting in escape. It's nice of them to incentivize water conservation.

Gotta keep the other car companies guessing.

That's a randomized defensive countermeasure.

No risk. No reward. Being this awesome comes at the risk of being a danger to oneself and others. That's a sacrifice many drivers are willing to make.

The dancers at the club really like it. I think one of them is falling for me.

(Just guessing that's how that conversation goes)

You forgot that it looks so much like a dumpster raccoons will try to break into it

plastic that went to college

Thanks, I'm really appreciating the afterlife
