Enough Musk Spam

For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.

No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.

Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.

Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.

Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

Anyone who owns a car should install a life hammer. Doesn't matter if it's a Tesla or an old clunker.

That was helpful. Thanks for sharing that story.

This is something that can be addressed with owners, but what about passengers? Should they be carrying one around?

How 'bout Tesla just makes fucking mechanical door handles again?

And you'd need a jackhammer for a cybertruck

Teslas were never meant to be functioning vehicles. The whole point is the cool factor, them being "drivable" is an afterthought.

Every Tesla has an emergency mechanical door handle. On some models, the rear passenger doors do not.

Huh. It's almost as if I already said that.

And linked to the instructions for the Model Y.

And already pointed out that they're well-concealed which is not what you want for an emergency.

Almost.

Seat headrests can be pulled out and the metal guides used in a pinch.

Not on a Tesla, fixed headrests on 3 and Y.

On a Tesla, it seems like explosive bolts would be the way to go.
