This community exists as a sister community/copycat community to the r/fuckcars subreddit.

This community exists for the following reasons:

You can find the Matrix chat room for this community here.

Rules

  1. Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn't choose car-centric life out of free will.

  2. No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don't use slurs. You can laugh at someone's fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.

  3. Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don't post literal car fucking.

  4. No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.

  5. No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn't a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.

  6. No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.

  7. No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.

Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.

My buddy sold his Y because his wife hated it and so he tells people it's because of Musk.

It wasn't because of Musk.

Because they were so great before?

"Ugh. A Ford, I know. I bought it before the nazi stuff"

Who the fuck cares. It's a tool. You don't care if the multinational corporation behind Disney World is a reprehensible child rape factory either.

This is the only time I'd accept someone calling something virtue signaling.

Tbf it’s a decent virtue to signal on

"Eat the rich" is. "I don't like the guy who profited off this car" is quite weak. I don't expect many Tesla owners to expouse eating the rich though.

The man gave Andrew Tate $50k, he sucks pretty bad

when you find out the owner of the brand you're literally flying the flag of is a fascist, and you don't make a change, it's at that point you become the asshole flying the fascists flag. virtue signaling. jesus fucking christ.

I've got no clue what point you're trying to make. Are you pro-bumper sticker or something? "Sorry I shoulda boycotted." Very helpful.

I agree, it’s self-hating garbage. Own your decisions.

Meh, I don't give a fuck. Best car I've ever owned and Musk can eat a diiiiiiiiiiiiick.
