These memes about Russia’s hideous new ‘Tesla killer’ EV are *chef kiss*

Russia has a brand new electrical car idea design from the Moscow Polytechnic College that was revealed on social media earlier this week. It’s referred to as “Amber,” and whereas we all know mainly nothing about it from a technical perspective, memes of the… unlucky wanting EV are already proliferating on social media. And so they’re fairly, fairly, fairly good.

I wish to be clear: We’re not taking any political stance on this car, which is undoubtedly a byproduct of fairly extreme sanctions on Russia internationally proper now. We’re additionally conscious that the majority of those memes are written in Ukrainian, which is… not shocking! However no matter geopolitics, I believe we will all agree on one factor: It is a very unlucky wanting piece of design. Now, a variety of some Amber Memes.

There are extra over at this Ukrainian information website, and I definitely suggest taking a look. There’s additionally a publish overlaying the information in a much less tongue-in-cheek method at Auto.ru.

Extra significantly, the Amber is a preliminary design, and apparently the ultimate car received’t appear as if this idea. Although, that’s fairly apparent, given the seamless entrance physique panel could be nightmarish to supply and change. Additionally, as a result of it seems to be like a fish dressed up as a bread van for halloween. The ultimate model of the automobile will allegedly be labeled as a “massive quadricycle” when it enters manufacturing someday in 2025.

However wow, who thought this even regarded good as an idea? Even in case you instructed me it had 500 miles of vary and will drive itself utilizing solely a Pentium III and an previous closed circuit safety digital camera, the Amber is the visible definition of “no thanks, I’m full.” I’m positive there have been uglier vehicles, however one thing concerning the concept of driving this factor round simply makes me unhappy — like opening a can of Pringles and discovering they received all moist and congealed right into a vile potato slurry. The Amber is like turning on a TV that solely shows interlaced video. It’s like strolling right into a Mexican restaurant… in Scotland. It’s like getting an electronic mail that your FedEx package deal is prepared for pickup… on the distribution heart. It’s like biting right into a heat Klondike Bar. Okay, okay, I admit: That final one would possibly simply be my very own private nightmare.

Anyway, in case you’ve ever puzzled what a Volkswagen Golf would seem like if it melted 70% of the way in which right into a Energy Wheels, at the moment’s your fortunate day.
