Sculptor Chavis Mármol has never owned a car, but that’s never inhibited his drive. Earlier this month, the 42-year-old Mexico City-based artist (who travels largely by bicycle) dropped a nine-ton replica of an Olmec head onto the roof of a blue Tesla Model 3 in a crushing display posted to Instagram on March 11. Mármol told Hyperallergic that his intention was “to satirize the Tesla brand and its creator.”

    Hrm. It took six months to make so it’s unlikely we could deploy this strategy at scale but I praise the innovation.

      we could probably mold the olmec heads to help shave off time, but i think you’re right in that we will have to make due w swasti-car stickers. lol
