Sadly, I have been born without a sense of aesthetics, so I actually kind of like the colour. Still, cannot defend the choice of car it is on, or the "01" - which I am uncertain what it is there for. (Attempt at racecar aesthetics? Sports reference I am missing? "I am #1" posturing?)
Dukes of Hazzard is a 70s tv show that featured rednecks that drove around in a car that had the loser confederate flag painted on it.
Running shine and tricking cops. How does the demographic for this show love to lick cop boots so much?
They need to rebel against someone and the powers that be figured out how to redirect them towards a more convenient target.
Then they're no longer good ol' boys and they're meanin' harm. They're not beating all you ever saw and they're laying down for the law since the day they was born.
Probably the white supremacy support for the Confederacy that they have in common bringing them together

Oh, seems like I have been thoroughly missing what this is in reference to. My streak of tastelessness remains, as I do still genuinely like the colour, but I have to say, the reference does not work on a car like the Cybertruck, even if it had no other issues. It's a fundamentally different type of car, it feels like weirdly and randomly mashing things together.
It's such a niche american show that went off air before most people on lemmy were born
I mean there was the movie too but...
I would like to chime in and say that I too liked the color, and was unable to pick up on the reference.
