EVCast humor: Hitler versus Tesla
Click above and scroll down to watch the video
Usually, we'd save a video like this for an "It's Friday" post, but considering that it's only Monday and we don't want to sit on Hitler EV humor all week (imagine the smell), may we present "Hitler's EV Dilemma"? Brought to you by our friends over at EVCast, the oft-remixed scene of Hitler from the 2004 movie Downfall (Der Untergang) - see also Hitler's tirade about Watchmen, the housing crisis, etc. - has Hitler pretty peeved about the Tesla Roadster price increases. EVCast's Bo Bennett calls the video just another EV shenanigan, but we know there are a lot of people who were not happy with Tesla's move. All we hope is that today, this video will cheer up your lunch hour a little bit. Check out the video (slightly NSFW) after the jump.

See? Hitler aint so bad! hahaha, all he wanted to do was save the world one roadster at a time.
p.s. kudos for the big breasts part. "I'm sure hitler still likes yours breasts."

That is so hilarious! That does kind of describe us. We are so helpless (myself included) because we don't appreciate how simple it is to build a basic highway speed electric car. ...or how difficult it is to add all the bells and whistles, like ac, in car tv, 0-4 seconds 60 mph, 400 mile range ((for daily commuting))...
On one hand we have high school-ers building street legal highway speed ev's with short 25 mile range. On the other hand we are having to reinvent the wheel using a different paradigm because we are legally bound not to use the Chevron (Panasonic) NiMH battery system or anything that too closely mirrors it that could give us 100 mile range. So to take the long road we have to recreate the whole road around and pay for it through the...nose.
Sorry Mr. Hilter, Tesla is really cool and among the neat ev cars. But you are going to have to pay for not valuing simple answers earlier. (Of course you could always invade the homes of Toyota RAV4-ev owners and confiscate their cars because they work fine!)

Somehow it's not funny at all, if you understand German. Since it's the original audio he is talking about something completely different. Writing new subtitles just doesn't work for me, would be a lot funnier if he was actually saying those things from the subs.

This is in bad taste

I also think this is in bad taste. Using mass-murderers to make fun makes their horrors diluted in the end.

I still think the one where his car was stolen is the best of other 50 million versions.
"What about an S2000?"
"Are you shitting me?"
"But the HP per L ..."
"Fuck HP per L! My lawnmower has more torque!"
Oh lol, good times.
