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.

I don't know why anyone would get in a tiny tunnel to be driven around in a Tesla. It doesn't even sound worth it for the novelty. And it can't even self-drive through a closed loop apparently.

That's ignoring the fact that Tesla batteries, when they malfunction, are capable of making a fire most fire departments can't handle and now it's blocking your exit through a tube. This is a death trap waiting to happen

They are really sketchy about it too. Ther was thei incident in germany where a tesla burned out. When it finally extinguished it landed on a junkyard, and they send a tesla technician to disconnect the battery to make it "safe". After that, no one was alloed to see the wrecked car anymore because telsa spend a pretty penny to the junkyard to just hide it somewhere.

To be fair, this isn't just Tesla batteries, any lithium ion or lithium polymer battery will be har to put out.

Great. An even bigger problem than it just sounding generally unpleasant. Thanks, Elon. Can't wait for the "hilarious" tweet when 12 people die in the tunnel fire.
