Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for February 07, 2025

I think it looks like something a giant would use to shave with.

Until I saw one with the back roof off, I couldn’t figure out why it was called a truck.

If they have a bumper sticker that says, “MUSK and trump are GREAT”, Goat and Pig will want to do the same thing.

Oh please. Those things will fall apart if you just use a screwdriver to pry up the panels.

Or just spray it with some salt water. It’ll rust so quickly it’ll go like a reverse Tin Man.

One of my neighbors has one. I would have saved some cash and bought a F-150 Lightning. You know, an actual truck from someone who has made them for decades.

The funniest thing is that they don’t work well in cold weather. It messes up the electronics and they don’t function. They have all kinds of issues!

I today paid $860 for a external transmission filter change on my Corvette (required at 7500-8000miles) I didn’t know about it and it is only covered free in the 7500-8000 mile range. I have 8300 miles on my car

Everytime a friend of mine sees one, he gives a Hitler salute to the driver. I reminded him that not every owner is a National Socialist like Musk is , and that when they bought said vehicles, Musk hadn’t yet gone Nazi.

Saw a meme Thursday with a photo of a Cybertruck for sale, and a guy asked, “Is this still available?” After the seller replied, “Yes” the first guy wrote back, “Not surprised”

They did forget to make sure its batteries don’t explode, that the electronics aren’t fried by going through a car wash (or a flooded road), and how to make it work well enough the the warranty doesn’t need to expire within the first 40 miles of driving it.

A crowbar would take care of that. Punch away!

You either love them or hate them!

I want one to Make My Garage Great Again!

No one can think of everything. If you’re lucky and / or smart you may think of enough.

MAGA, MAGA, MAGA, MAGA, MAGA, MAGA, MAGA, MAGA.

Please leave the political comments at home.

There is a reason that they were designed with bulletproof glass.

As ugly as Musk (rat )

Ever since November tesla sales have been down. Hmmm, wonder why…

Maybe not, but there are a few nifty things you can do with a spray can…

That big tank is flimsy as all get out. But why would I want to punch them in the head? I want to laugh at them for buying such an expensive piece of garbage that is as ugly as any vehicle has ever been.

The build quality of a YUGO but with none of the charm.

Not See Ugly Truck.

Do they come with a gun rack?

Then there’s the video of something going up to a cybertruck thinking that it was a Dumpster.

Since they got rid of the comments on the editorial comics, I can see them doing the same for any comic they deem rabble-rousing.

I am indifferent toward people who drive cybertrucks.

Just don’t collide with me and we’ll get along.

I like the claim that they are as quick as a Porsche while towing a Porsche. But, just to be clear, I am not a fan of the vehicle.

That thing is almost as ugly as Musk’s heart.

Wait until he gets out, THEN punch him in the head!

People have always bought ugly cruddy cars. This is nothing new.

Where there’s a will, there’s a way to punch someone in the head.

One odd looking vehicle. One of my ski buddies has one. Pretty unimpressive as far as purpose/function is concerned. Takes up too much space in the parking lot, too :D

They could not be uglier. or more useless as a pickup truck.

Slightly off the subject, and non-political, did you know there has been a Tesla Roadster orbiting in space for the last five years?

CNN: — It’s now been half a decade since SpaceX turned heads around the world with its decision to launch Elon Musk’s personal Tesla roadster into outer space, sending the car on an endless journey into the cosmic wilderness where it’s expected to remain for millennia to come.

As of Monday, February 6, the cherry-colored sports car has officially been in space for exactly five years.

At the time of its anniversary, data estimates show that it had completed about three and one quarter loops around the sun and was positioned about 203 million miles (327 million kilometers) from Earth, according to the tracking website .

I would expect Goat to be supportive of electric vehicles.

As you can see, these trucks are preventing a second Civil War.

Apparently, the stainless-steel skin was too strong for an explosive device to do much damage so Tesla has announced that the skin will be made thinner going forward. Still scratching my head over that one.

They look like a giant doorstop….

Boycott Tesla

I saw one yesterday and it appears to be impractical just by its layout and load hauling ability. I like my HEMI RAM for work, and my Hybrid SUV for all other driving.

I wonder what those who deride the Tesla truck think of Hummers. Just curious.

When I see Tesla’s “Truck” on the road I laugh at the driver who paid a fortune for a POS truck. They don’t work in the cold, they have issues if they get too wet, and if you think you had sticker shock when you bought the truck, wait until you find out what their resale value is.

Is it about trucks or Elon? What about the domestic three pickups that are so big they don’t fit in parking places, they block the sun, and the driver can’t see 10 feet in front of them.

nonsense! if there is a will, there is a way, as extreme as it may be needed to do so. :D

I have seen one of those trucks. I had a good laugh and went on about my business.

The driveable dumpster! looks match quality!

I’ve never wanted to punch someone in the head because of what they’re driving. On the other hand, the way some people drive their whatevers can trigger thoughts of violence.

Its main design goal was to be noticed. They got that part right.

The new name is Swasticar

Couldn’t have said it better myself

They can’t stay in that ugly monstrosity forever.

Take away the horn and you’ve got a perfectly designed car.

Think about it…

somewhere near me someone bought one of those UGLY things. and now there are 2 near me. don’t you just hate that

Swasticars

It’s really good for stopping explosions in Vegas

What happens when you get it up to 88 mph?

I dunno, I don’t really see the excitement or fuss either way. Reminds me of the DeLorean. I do have some sympathy for people who grouse about people driving monster trucks and Hummers on the roads, but I mostly shrug that off, too.

Whoever coined the word “swasticar” is a genius!

As you all know, last summer I purchased my wife a Kia Niro EV and she loves it. Hottest day of the year, no problem. Coldest day of the year, no problem. The problem is: She has decided not to allow me to drive it. She says its her baby and I don’t clean up after myself, when I drive it. Well, she is going to get a surprise today, when I get home from the office, in my brand new 2025 GMC Sierria EV Denali. It has a 450 miles plus range and tricked out to the max. Her little Kia will look a midget. Bah hah hah.

The news last night was reporting that Tesla sales were down around 50% (year on year) in a number of European nations. That’s a significant statement.

Well, except that you CAN: remember Musk’s Reveal Fail..? OR, just Google Cybertruck Fail videos…

well, there still Lil’ guard duck and his RPG-7.

Trump and Musk are GREAT!

The Deplorean. made by Swastikar.

I just point and laugh whenever I see one.

They AGREE with Rat on something? We are in trouble.

The fascist car on the road

Watched a mechanic do a review on the Cybertruck. He mentioned that in his neighborhood, there are about five of them. Only one has not had the body panels wrapped. The brushed stainless steel panels show dirt and fingerprints very well.

That car is not a truck for hauling stuff, that’s for sure.

We can fit a double size mattress and spring together in our “tiny” SUV when we put down the back seats and we can close the trunk door, and they will not get wet if we get caught by rain, and people will not be able to see what is at the back because the windows are tinted.

That “truck” cannot do that in its back carriage. I saw it with my own eyes the people were transporting mattress and it barely fit in the back, but they had to scrunch it crossway, and there was no room for the spring.

Anywhoooo, I suppose if you are laying out around 100K for such a “truck” you are not in the hauling business…

Saw one the other day, was running studded tires, wonder what that does for battery range.

A Pinewood Derby car that Dad didn’t help with.

Not according to YouTube when one tries to occupy the same space as an 18-wheeler. As soon as the Troopers saw the flame they retreated 200 yards.

Everything ‘Musk’ is ugly.

I saw one in a parking lot recently. They are ugly as heck but cool. If the zombies or raccoons attack, I want one.

I call ’em Incel Caminos. But Swastikars works too.

I saw a bumpersticker on a Tesla that said “I bought this before he turned evil.”

One of the few cases in which I might disagree with Rat – all you have to do is wait for it to inevitably burst into flames and THEN punch them in the head when they bail out of the dumpster fire.

stupidest looking thing on the road… but when ya consider the source, what else could we expect!

when elon had the big opening show for it, I remember he had a guy throw a large metal ball bearing at one of the windows to prove how strong they are, and, of course, it cracked… been downhill ever since! (I’d like to laugh, but the way things are going with elon as acting president, it’s really not that funny anymore…)

That is one ugly vehicle. Electric cars will not be practical until they start using the fuel cell as their power source.

I want to punch Elon Musk in the head whether he’s in a car or on foot

Just spray it with water. It will come to a screeching halt.

i wouldn’t have a car that a lot of people have mistaken for a trash bin.

Is using Pottsylvanian technology, so spontaneous combustion will be happening anyway. As Mr. Big likes to say, “Is feature, not bug.”

The little ones are Swatikars, the big ones are Incel Caminos or Wanc Panzers.

They are ugly cars created by an ugly person who is drunk on his power and money.

Every tesla truck I’ve seen has dark tinted windows so that you can’t see the driver. I guess that’s because they are too ashamed to show their face.

My Hummer can beat up your Cybertruck.

Guess what three letters spring to mind after Musk_ _ _ ?

The worst part of those things is they come in colors. Every seen a yellow or green cybertruck? No? You don’t want to.

I saw one in a parking lot the other day. Not only was it ugly as sin, it looked like tin plates wrapped in aluminum foil.

They only look like a cyberterror tank. They are made of aluminum foil, cardboard and rejected Lego bricks. Rat’s bat could cave in a whole side with one swing.

Actually, it’s more like a little cardboard tank, and can be squashed by stepping on it.

It’s a shitttty vehicle done by a petulant man-child a$$hole Nazi

One good thing about the Cybertrucks… at least the owners can’t “roll coal” like the morons that drive modified diesel pickups.

To all the idiots insisting on calling Cybertrucks “Swasticars”…………

………….. what terminology do you use for the cars made by a company literally establish by Adolf Hitler, i.e. VOLKSWAGEN?

When I see someone in an electric vehicle, I wonder where the hell they charge it. I’ve never seen a charging station in my town anywhere.
