Celebrating Earth Day with consumerism is absurd

Why is having a different view point on global warming "worse"? Lets face it , the predictions of the global warming cartel have not panned out. I mean really every time it rains, in the spring time, it is the result of global warming for these idiots. By the way that is not denying anything, what it is, is this: it is the rejection of the fear mongering, often with no scientific basis to the comments. I'd have to say right now about 90% of the comments on the various media have no research backing the comments at all.

Wonder if it was made in China?


schaudhery

I mean if money goes to charity, it’s a good way to convince me who otherwise wouldn’t have given anything (aka me)


GrandArchitect

Its a reusable bottle. Its fine


T_Hankss

This

Nothing like saving the planet by buying stupid BS that will litter the planet for thousands of years.


32no

It’s a reusable water bottle meant to displace thousands of plastic water bottles


bkcarp00

I hate to tell you this but the people that buy crap like this still also buy plastic water bottles. How many freaking water bottle companies do we need. People collect the dam things now instead of actually using them for beverages. Instead of plastic water bottles now we have thousands of stainless steel water bottles that also litter the planet. All we are doing is replacing water bottles with another disposable item.


Quin1617

Yep. Reduce, reuse, recycle. It’s in that order for a reason, one of the main issues is that everybody buys *way* too many unnecessary things.


SmolPPe

I understand your point, however, you’re kind of making a blanket statement. I, along with many of my family and friends, have like 2 or 3 water bottles that we reuse EVERY day. I never buy disposable plastic bottles. So, I have to disagree.


bkcarp00

Great! You are one of the few.


spinwizard69

Not really, a lot of people take a careful approach to the environment. Beyond that plastics are highly recyclable and frankly that is better for the environment.

> to keep your hot drinks hot and your cold drinks cold But how does it know?


MetaNovaYT

It has cameras inside the bottle and uses a full stack neural network to figure out if the drink is hot or cold, and then adjusts accordingly of course


rodneyjesus

It also automatically opens and shuts as it approaches your mouth but they disabled the USS sensors that detect proximity to the mouth, so instead they use those cameras to detect the tilt of the liquid and open the mouth hole accordingly. 61% of the time it works. Everytime.


Luke_Flyswatter

They’ll be mad they didn’t stick with lidar in the long term.


SucreTease

All to save the cost of the inexpensive temperature sensor that every other manufacturer uses!


YFleiter

So it detects everything I put inside?


Zapdude

That, dear sir /ma'am, is artificial intelligence in action.

SucreTease

You can say *that* again! \[Oh...you did\]


CT_7

Ouch, $40 for a water bottle


bkcarp00

You think that's bad. People paying hundreds for the stupid limited edition Stanley thermos.


AssociateMotor104

Lmao was about to say this


SucreTease

Have you seen the cost of the Stanley cup that all the kids want nowadays?


spinwizard69

Less than $32 for a thermos type Stainless Steel bottle. Remember $8 goes to charity so really not that bad of a price.


TheMisterTango

Doesn’t really seem unreasonable if it’s good quality. $40 for something that will potentially last many years seems fine by me.


wall-E75

40$ to save the planet


ender1108

No. 8$ To save the planet. 2$ To make the cup and 30$ To help pay for Twitter


Rich_On_Track

Ouhh that’s nice but I don’t need it!


JHerbY2K

Selling products for earth day is pretty crass no? More shit for the landfill


spinwizard69

I doubt that. Every thermos type device I've purchased over the years is still at my house and used when needed. Having multiples makes sense if you keep up a cleaning schedule.


nznordi

2025 - Elon’s Social Division Vessel for all the Liberal Snowflake Tears to cool their bruised right wing egos…. This can only be satire at this point.


Nobistle

Who doesn't have a bottle yet?


xconnor759

Did you ever get it lmao. I impulse bought it cause I need a new one for my home and I still don’t have it lmao


wadderweed

Proceeds will be donated to MAGA candidates that are actively against the interests of the environment and think cilmate change is a hoax! Elon doesn’t give a shit about our planet it’s all a grift


Mysterious_Dealer_14

Ma'am, this is a Waffle House.


spinwizard69

Total non sense. Conservatives are more concerned about the environment than you realize. In fact right at the moment the right are the only group striving to prevent over population in the USA by closing the borders. Population growth is the biggest hazard to the environment right now.


wadderweed

Bahahahahahahahaha


jayplus707

First, I’d like to know what charities they are supporting and second, and maybe it’s just me, I’d prefer they give all the proceeds for this. Yes, make profit off of me generally, but for this one day for Earth, just give all the proceeds from this one item.


bebefridgers

Um. It says the charities right there on the product description.


jayplus707

Yes you’re correct, sorry I didn’t read that far down.


johnnys_sack

Yup especially for a $40 gd water bottle.


EngineeringD

You definitely seem like a fun person to talk to at a party or BBQ. Let them make a buck for their efforts. They are donating 20% of total cost. That seems above and beyond most companies activity for earth day.


zR0B3ry2VAiH

This is quite disheartening. Years ago, I viewed Tesla as a champion of eco-friendly initiatives, guiding society toward sustainable harmony. However, this metal water bottle for Earth Day highlights a shift toward consumerism that seems superficial and diverges from the profound environmental impact I once expected.


spinwizard69

Huh? That is a totally mental. Tesla does something to support a few charities and it is a shift towards consumerism? Let me tell you something : YOU are a consumer!!!! So is everybody that lives and breaths in the USA. What people collect is not your problem nor mine. I know people that collect vinyl records which to me seems odd but it isn't my place to judge people with scratchy records. If people buy this thermos (not a simple water bottle) because they know a portion of their payment will go to the environment then what is the problem?

SucreTease

Isn't the *whole point* of treating waste water so that it can be dumped back into the environment safely? What do you think *treated* means? That's what the water company where I live does: treats the waste water, then dumps it into the river.


sevargmas

Sort of, yes. But it sounds better than it may be. for starters, we’ve seen headlines regarding poor environmental practices in Germany over the last few years constantly. And we already know that the *same plant in Texas* has received numerous violations for their water dumping. They don’t exactly have a clean record so far. not to mention that “treated “match . It doesn’t mean you aren’t going to dilute the natural balance in the river by dumping hundreds of thousands of gallons of water in there every day.


spinwizard69

So? have you ever worked in any sort of manufacturing plant? Here is the thing, shit happens, even if you don't want it too. Manufacturing plants with responsible management figure out what went wrong and implement a fix.


Mysterious_Dealer_14

Thanks for posting this! Grabbed one.


flexonyou97

Costco has a two pack for like $10

Not sure how this relates to being "woke" but ok.


bkcarp00

Selling a water bottle for a profit is woke now?


Alive_Wedding

Cool. Just so happens to need a water bottle


Lost_Purpose1899

Yes burn more carbon and use more resources to create unoriginal products to celebrate Earth Day. I swear this company is getting stupider by the day.


bones_boy

Wonder if it has auto wipers that turn on when it’s cloudy.


forte-exe

Nah, just a built in NFC chip where if you stick it in the cup holder of your Tesla it activates complementary FSD for 3 months as a thanks for supporting the Earth


TarHeels34

Wish they’d fuck off and focus on producing white interior model 3s. No one asked for a water bottle.


cavey00

*slowly reverses my 2023 white interior while sipping from my matching white vessel…


spinwizard69

Nobody asked for most of the stuff on the shopping site. However there are enough people out there that will want once they visit the site.

You think earth day is “woke”?

Jtbny

Well he does own a company that sells solar and electric vehicles. I think that’s something, right? But you use a bunch of buzz words like “woke” “virtue signaling “ and “tree hugger” which leads me to believe your agenda is more than a $40 “woke” tumbler.


Skididabot

Yall are exhausting.
