…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.

    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.)

    After privatization, cars became affordable but public transport would not start meaningfully improving until the mid-2000s.

    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.
