This comparison is just head-up-ass silly without statistics. There are 75+ year-old Ford F-1s running around, with their original engine blocks: classiccars.com/…/1948-ford-f1-for-sale-in-presco… classiccars.com/listings/find/all-years/ford/f1 brought to you by capitalism! Even without that, any old car can be made to work if you throw parts and labor at it. This idea that “communism made a car that ran for 30 years” is completely worthless with a single example. What matters is how many were manufactured and how many of those are still functional at 5, 10, 15, 20+ years. One sample is bad statistics.

Is the Tesla a spectacle for fools? Yes, but: The first vehicle I ever owned is a truck older than I am. It still runs, and does work.(Built in USA) American tractors older than any of their operators are still being bought and sold. I gre up with ine, still fucking runs. You been to Cuba? Why is this they repair American cars older than anyone driving them, instead of importing and fixing Ruuskicars? Dumb-ass comparison XD

Comparing tech 50 years apart build for two very different purposes sure reads objectively. Also Mr. Gas guzzler over there is unfit for today’s world. And cold gas thrusters cannot be that expensive in the whole scheme of all things supercar. They also put a vacuum in there soooo.

TVs made to soviet design famously caught fire, this was before this all printed circuit board deal was perfected. they just used cardboard-like material for that, it was flammable, absorbed water over time, and there were too closely spaced traces with high voltage on them

The Lada Riva. That symbol of communism. Was just a rebadged Fiat 124. It was originally a capitalist invention that the commies took credit for.

Have you done any research in communest cars? I like shitting on capitalism as much as the next guy but cumunist cars were unreliable as fuck.

Neither capitalism or communism gives you reliable cars. What helps is good regulation for minimum warranty periods, mandatory maintenance and spare parts availability for 15+ years, interdictions of dark patterns (e.g: end user should be able to replace the headlamps, oil filter and such easily with basic tools). And also, industry standards, ODB2 for diagnostics for instance. And now, Cybersecurity and data privacy is super relevant, you don’t want OEMs or bad actors to be able to disable your car remotely.

Well… the flying car has no passenger seats, can’t be driven on roads, has a 2-3 second air supply, and takes about an hour to recharge. Doubtful
