Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.


If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)


  • If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS


Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.


Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...


Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.


This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.


6. Defend your opinion


This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Maybe it’s the retro-futuristic style or reminiscent of sci-fi and cyperpunk, but I genuinely really like the design.

I would never buy one due to the MYRIAD issues plaguing the stainless steel body, interior build quality, or give Tesla money. But still a cool looking car, if nonfunctional truck.

This isn't a concept vehicle, it's the Cadillac Celestiq. Got to test drive one once; feels great, handles great. Emphasis on "rich" Shadowrun villain though. Lucky for you, if you have a spare 350K lying around, it can be yours today! Promo article of a Cadillac Celestiq, GM's luxury station wagon EV

(obligatory fuck GM, they as a company are personally responsible for this car-dependent hellscape we live in, for the destruction of many communities, and of course they are happy to provide luxury vehicles for the wealthy to navigate it as painlessly as possible. This is not an ad and my knowledge of this vehicle was acquired involuntarily. The least I could get out of it was a turn at the wheel.)

Also, consider this an official petition to bring back (affordable) station wagons (yes, that is what this is) in the EV age instead of bending over backwards to get any sort of useful range out of trucks (including the ones masquerading as SUVs.)
