How bad did Musk fuck this up? Enough for us noggies to join the side of swedes AND danes..I hope to see the finns join in too.

I've lived here for years and have just heard "noggies" for the first time. Is this pejorative or playful in most contexts?

[–] neidu@feddit.nl 8 points 11 months ago

That's our N-word. It's not offensive if we're the ones using it.

The weird part is that none of teslas employees are part of this strike in any of the countries...like, why are they not participating in this!?

[–] tb_@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

I believe those workers aren't part of any union

Hahah. You make it seem like we don't do this often.

[–] neidu@feddit.nl 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Shhhh, keeping up appearances. Can't let them stinky continentals know.

[–] Ab_intra@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Indeed not. They need to think we're at war 🤣

How popular is Tesla along the common population right now ? If you say you are going to buy a tesla tomorrow, how much are you frowned upon by your relatives/neighbour/etc ?

I'm curious how the strike is impacting the brand with the population, outside of unions.

It's fairly common, you'll see plenty of Tesla in Norway at least.

I could have ended up with Tesla if I could earn a car before Elon ruined his public persona. Now I'm definitely not getting one. But I do think anyone will get much negative feedback. I'd probably advice them to avoid one, but they are still better then it comes to software, most cars are shit at that.

I do hope a potential strike helps change their image more though.
