His vehicles aren't even safe for other Dragons to ride on. Why would I buy from a company who unironically had the below answer for me when I googled from the back seat of one of their cars while Ubering and thought of that news:

Opening a Rear Door with No Power

Not all Model Y vehicles are equipped with a manual release for the rear doors. Remove the mat from the bottom of the rear door pocket. Press the red tab to remove the access door. Pull the mechanical release cable forward.

Emphasis mine. Still don't know which kind I was on, but an emergency would have not been the ideal 'find out' time. I'll avoid that by not fucking around with purchasing their cars.

as a dragon enthusiast AND and EV enthusiast, I am qualified to support your statement that the Model Y may be unsafe for dragons to mount

I recommend dragons stick with the classics

Hoarding money.

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 5 points 8 months ago

So tell me then, when is that 'fine art' sub coming to Yiffit?

[–] argarath@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Yeah dragons need that exhaust pipe after all

[–] Zink@programming.dev 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Dragons need tailpipes in order to be dragons fucking cars.

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 8 months ago

Nahhh dragons fuck cars by rubbing their dicks on them, they don’t use the tailpipe

Source: none of my bad dragon dildos would fit in a tailpipe

How the fuck did that pass road safety tests in the US? That's lethal in any event where you need to leave the vehicle in an emergency. It's essentially always-on child safety locks.

[–] gaael@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Are there mandatory road safety tests in the US ?

[–] Neato@ttrpg.network 1 points 8 months ago

Yes. There's multiple checks for manufacturing cars. The first one that would have caught this is from their design prior to sale: NHTSA: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. This would prevent such an obviously dangerous car from ever being sold. So clearly they have dropped the ball off a cliff.

If someone were to alter their car post purchase, it might be caught at yearly state inspections. These all vary by state but generally ensure that cars are road legal and not dangerous. They most often catch broken or illegally altered lights and exhaust.

Don't fix the typo, I'm enjoying the mystery.

Oooh, other billionaires, cause that one billionaire lady died.
