> [@EinsteinsHund](#): > > Spiegel pointed out two reasons for these figures: dated Tesla models not longer competitive with new models by their competitors, and most importantly, customers refusing to do business with an outspoken fascist. That Tesla hasn’t really introduced new mainstream models, aside from the Cybertruck, amazes me. Googling, the Model Y was available from January 2020, so five years ago. ---

You should talk with [this guy](https://youtu.be/OjJxL5eGJO8?si=5-wGG5I_uNYZ5GKv), although I doubt either Marc Tarpenning or (especially) Martin Eberhard have any interest in returning to what Tesla has become.

> [@solost](#): > > I came up with the design in fifth grade This is down someplace in the double digits of things that piss me off about Musk: We can’t just enjoy the Cybertruck as the stupid kid’s drawing, low-poly, retro-future, ugly toy come alive that it is. Instead it’s too wrapped up in his incel smelling toxic masculinity to just be another quirky car. Though, without Musk we wouldn’t have it at all, which would be even better. Let the engineers at Tesla build the best pickup they can, and it would probably be great. ---

I wonder how that would look if it were done with Tesla’s stylized “T” logo. If you still got the effect, that would be better. ---

Not real well. To make a swastika the three legs of the T-shape need to be the same length. Unlike the actual letterform T which is typically 1-1/2 to twice as tall as it is wide. Rather than twice as wide as it is tall. The Tesla logo is about 1.5x taller than wide. The curved cap of the T would _really_ not work. It’d be pinching off the ends of the legs of the negative-space swastika. And the curvy nature of the whole thing would clash with the brutalist angular simplicity of the Nazi symbol. As an aside, in looking closely & analytically at the Tesla logo for the first time, I just now noticed that it represents a segment of a rotor and a stator, the two main sub-assemblies of an electric motor. Very clever of whichever artist came up with that. **[Tesla logo - Google Image Search](https://www.google.com/search?q=Tesla+logo&hl=en&source=hp&uact=5&oq=Tesla+logo&sclient=img&udm=2)**. ---
