Looks like it's 3D printed, that thing ain't gonna survive long attached the way it is. Wont be long until it breaks free and ricochets into the windshield of whoever is driving behind that shitbox. Edit: it's a wireless chastity belt.

Now you might say, how on earth did they get grip shifters on a set of road handlebars? Easy peasy, the handlebars split in half and are held together by the stem

According to Elon bootlickers online, this was a lie put out by Reuters (because it made the stock go down) and the cheapo Tesla is still coming as announced at earnings (naturally, this is true because it made the stock go up)

Adding to Tacoma Chat: Tacoma was infamous in the area as one of the smelliest cities around due in part to its paper mill and rendering plant. Everytime you would drive by on I5 you would get a mighty whiff of that nastiness. They are trying to clean it up now, but for decades that place smelled of rotten eggs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aroma_of_Tacoma Really does show that whoever suggested the name for the Toyota truck really never even been there.

Well it probably is much easier to source electricity than gasoline 10 years after the apocalypse. Just search for houses with solar panels. Farms that produce their own bio diesel are much fewer and harder to spot.
