Screenshot alone doesn’t do the video justice. Watch this guy fucking obliterate the Tesla.

I don’t know why I thought he was going to shoot it
I think the initial camera POV down the barrel did it. I felt the same way lol
Same. I was honestly excited
I do love this but I wonder where did they get the Tesla from, not bought new I hope?
Donated by the owner
https://cybernews.com/news/tank-crushes-tesla/
“The car’s battery was removed and the vehicle made safe before it was crushed, the group said. The Tesla had been donated by an owner who said they were “appalled” by Musk’s public support for far-right movements in Europe.”
Hell yeah 💪
“get in loser, we’re gonna tussle with some teslers.” Or something like that. Umm who is Ken Turner?
who is Ken Turner?
98 year old WW2 Normandy veteran who carried a piece of tank in his neck for 50 years according to BBC
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0j2s9cq
I can’t find any reporting on where he got the tank from but there’s a museum in the Midlands and another in Surrey with plenty of working WW2 era tanks - it wouldn’t have been too hard to rustle one up. I’m betting it’s this one, it’s the largest.
Ah, thanks for the context. Leads me to ask, from whence did he acquire said Sherman Tank, and the aforementioned preflattened tesla? Everytime I use that word in this context I think of Nikolai Tesla, rolling in his grave.
It wasn’t pre-flattened. Watch the video

Edit to add Youtube link
Was it not preflattened moments before Ken rolled over it with his Sherman?
Nope
Edit I’ve just rewatched the video 3 times and I can’t fathom where you’re getting that idea from. It’s a normal model 3 then it’s a model 3 with a tank on it.
If you really think there’s shenanigans then post a pic highlighting where you think you can see it
Immensely based man, I hope he’s correct
Oh can we please please please flood twitter and that stupid truth social with this video?
This guy is awesome squared
As the UK bows to fascists. Jesus Christ.
Don’t be distracted by the what-if’s, should-have’s, and if-only’s. The one thing you choose for yourself - that is the truth of your universe.
You feed the pig before slaughtering it
I hope I’m like this guy when I’m 98.
Yours will be the
drilltank that pierces the heavens!At risk of shameless self promotion:
I added the BF 1942 intro theme into it after seeing it last night.
… The timing lines up surprisingly well, imo, at least for the duration of the original vid.

(Also I have no idea how video editing works, taught myself Shotcut last night rofl)
I realize now that I want to drive a tank over stuff. You think they’ll let me? 😊
Is that a Tesla in the background?
Where is the video of this?
Video is posted in the thread, and yes that’s a model 3 about to be crushed by a sherman tank.
I like the message, but it’s a bit like those snowflakes shooting Budweiser beers after their inclusive commercial.
Whether impossible or laughable, we continue to walk the path of men!
Yeah, but those are snowflakes with big mouths, small brains and tiny balls. This guy served in WWII and fought (and possibly killed) actual Nazis so yeah, I’m giving him a giant pass for his giant balls
Fucking hell, you’re right. I think the spectacle and clear political message of it (and that message not being fucking stupid) differentiates it enough in my brain. But yeah, I just laughed at Man Breaks Product From Company I Don’t Like.
To be fair, the message not being bigoted and braindead does a lot of the heavy lifting. One was “don’t make my beer gay” the other is “don’t give fascists a chance”. It’s not even a competition.
That’ll teach another billionaire who owns businesses what happens when they try to take over the world Brian.
The United States supported the German War effort through capital and direct involvement, as well as the Catholic Church, who funneled Nazis into America to work on the rocket program. Also, South America. And then there were stay behind armies and people that just got away with their crimes all to fight Russia. We did not defeat the Nazis. We absorbed them in order to continue our imperialist aims and to weaken Russia. We absorb the Nazis into our Rocket Program. Russia won World War II. They defeated the Nazis. America is an imperialist, capitalistic empire, and fascist are the useful idiots of empire. We never defeated fascism. It is a byproduct of capitalism in crisis. Learn about Operation Gladio. People speak so boldly over things that they know nothing about. You might not like communism, and communism in Russia might not be communism, and Russia might have been imperialistic, but I think we need to talk about things in an accurate fashion. This is low level thinking this meme. Also Russia, China, and America Are all capitalist countries we’re entering in the age of imperialism and techno fascism. It could be argued that there hasn’t been any real human progress. Also, neoliberalism was an attempt at unifying the world under free market capitalism. It was an attempt at stopping all of the wars, and there was a time for peace, a generation or two, and now that time is over. You’ll either lose your mind or it all makes sense eventually. If you’re willing to learn.
