It's all marketing for his pot shop.
How bad at you at selling weed are you that you need to do this?
This isn’t what gets me into a dispensary a second time.
Feeling like I can ask a dumbass question, get a coherent answer, and they will have product in stock at the promised price; gets me in the second and subsequent times.
Hypothetically, of course, but no different from the local booze warehouse, really. My loyalty is to the place where I asked someone “I see you’re out of x, what’s similar?” And they a) tapped out because it wasn’t their area of expertise and b) connected me with the person who could provide options and talk about that particular niche ad infinitum.
Don’t be flashy if you run a dispensary, just know your stuff and educate your staff.
be on weedmaps (or whatever your state uses online), have your stock up to date, and most importantly, don't just sell by the 1/8.
He may have paid a coked up publicist to get all this going.
He doesn't like negative attention and is too dumb to realise that was the only thing that would happen by buying such an obvious "I'm dumb and a dickhead" statement piece.
Scratching a stranger’s car is never okay.
It is strange and striking that climate change activists have not committed any acts of terrorism. After all, terrorism is for the individual by far the modern world’s most effective form of political action, and climate change is an issue about which people feel just as strongly as about, say, animal rights. This is especially noticeable when you bear in mind the ease of things like blowing up petrol stations, or vandalising SUVs. In cities, SUVs are loathed by everyone except the people who drive them; and in a city the size of London, a few dozen people could in a short space of time make the ownership of these cars effectively impossible, just by running keys down the side of them, at a cost to the owner of several thousand pounds a time. Say fifty people vandalising four cars each every night for a month: six thousand trashed SUVs in a month and the Chelsea tractors would soon be disappearing from our streets. So why don’t these things happen?
Because the law drops the hammer on them BIG time.
Hell, activists use to spike old wood trees marked for clear cutting back in the day. This would cause the saw blades foresters would use to explode in their face,, in fact George Alexander, a millworker, was severely injured when a saw blade shattered after contact with a tree spike and cut his jaw in half.
His name is Jason Alexander, he only played a character named George.

I'm in the minority of people who really like the design, I just wouldn't ever consider buying anything from Tesla.
Oh, it looks cool, you're not wrong. It's just a shame it's apparently shit.
In a sucker for the low poly aesthetics.
It's sad that literally everything else on this thing is a dumpster fire
he really should not have bought Twitter that is what I think pissed people off the most

The aesthetics are nice in my opinion, I wish there were more distinct and unique vehicles out there.

I'm certainly not nearly as much of an Elon hater as most of this site, but even I think that thing looks like crap.

It’s probably the worst car design to date. Also, prone to rusting
Well there was this....

Simpsons didn't quite predict it 100% this time
Well, it looks like someone that works in low budget movies had to build it for a scifi flick

If you drive a douchemobil, you shouldn't be surprised when people think you're a douche.
Carter tells the paper he has never been a fan of the limelight, somehow forgetting what sort of attention a massive, angular truck would garner him.
Lmao dude bought the fugliest car ever made and didn't think twice about that decision
and later,
He knew the truck would be an eye-catcher in Maine. But he wanted it for its uniqueness.
“It’s so ugly it’s cute. It’s like a French bulldog,” he said. “I don’t think it’s the most attractive car in the world, but it’s different. And I like to be different.”
