…and paper that says “Enjoy the rust, swasticar” on the windshield
Seen in Prague-Karlín, about 30 m away from that other mildly vandalized vehicle. Looking up the licence plate, the owner’s full name seems to be Igor Norton Tesla Slovák and it’s the first Cybertruck in the country, so he must have spent lots of money importing it and modding it (and bribing officials?) to pass registration.
Yes, Prague is inexplicably car-brained for how dense the public transport network is.
Phil Mason, aka Thunderf00t, is a US expat at the Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague and most of his last 80 videos are about criticizing Musk. I wonder if he ever encounters a Cybertruck (there have been multiple for quite a while) and films it up close, it would help if he stopped reusing footage so much.
Wait what?
No, go back, revoke registration, EU mommy help!!!
There are some in Germany too -_-
Edit: for show only, unlike this one
Weird how these two nations accomodate cars so much despite all the public transit they already have (they rank #2 and #4 in the world by rail network density).
Switzerland as well. Because it isn’t up to standards, they’re driving on “temporary licences” … Which they perpetually renew
Czech & Germany both have a lot of car manufacturing going on too (like proper cars I mean), even if the culture is sadly slow to turn to public transport (heavy propaganda), they should be proud enough to (culturally) reject bad cars (especially expensive ones).
Funny how probably all Cybertrucks in this country are in Prague, the most liberal city (it probably helps that there are lots of chargers and EVs get free parking). I have seen another but I was too slow to get out my phone; it was carrying something like a grill as part of a restaurant’s ad campaign I think. I only took this picture, which is useless (the truck is roughly at 50.082N, 14.418E):
This water trolling and other shenanigans are bound to keep happening despite the owner displaying a surveillance warning on the dashboard.
As for public transport in the Czech Republic: Communists luckily kept most trams and regional rail operating, unlike most of the West. Many people could not afford cars and would use public transport because they had to. After privatization, cars became affordable but public transport would not start meaningfully improving until the mid-2000s. Now we have almost world-class transit again - most vehicles are comfortable, service is frequent and decently punctual, and the price lists make sense in almost all of the regional integrated systems (NOT YOU, IDSJMK) but the people (and lots of politicians) are slow to change.
Trams are the best!
I really hope eastern cities keep them while continuing to cut out/prohibit cars.
Imagine a city looking like a huge public park with teams.
(What I actually want is an old forest with unintrusive buildings & trams, where humans can quietly coexist with old/unmoded nature communities, ofc sacrificing a lot of the current culture, like walking around with a loudspeaker for some reason.)
Yes, though times, speedrunning to the 'murikan model with no future goal in sight (except wealth concentration ofc). Eastern European counties lost a lot after the transition for some really short-term gains.
Pics or it didn’t happen. Pics of the thing being operated on the road. I don’t want to believe. ಠ益ಠ
i feel this emoji
Yes, I’ve seen two reports with photos, but it’s very important to note that they were not on regular license plates! Only some interim/test-drive plates.
I sure hope those oversized jrbrge bins don’t spread.
