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.

So the failing part in question is a cover on the pedal, which is just the worst, god awful, below dollar store quality design and I'm shocked there wasn't any adhesive or better yet, thought on how to have the part fail gracefully or remain stationary w/o adhesive. This is shockingly bad construction.

To be clear, that's how many they sold.

The Ford has sold around 25,000 F-150 Lightnings and Ford is considering that to be a failure.

Not very surprising. I've built more visually appealing cars with Lego when I was 5.

That's not an indictment of their popularity because there are a shitload of preorders, but they've only delivered a few thousand because they don't have the production capacity.

  1. It does almost none of the stuff Elon promised it would do.

My comment was directed at the F-150 but it crosses the same lines as the Cyberdump

Oh woah, something designed by the demands of a moron in a suit turned out to be a bad product!? Oh my god, oh my god, this changes everything!
