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.

Before anyone asks, the chart in the article demonstrates that used Kia prices have fallen 6.7%. Tesla is at the top of the chart with 28.9%.

You have to wonder how much of the fall in resale value is because of Elon’s antics tarnishing the brand.

I know I went from wishing I had a Tesla to knowing I'd be on the fence about it if offered one for free today.

Don't be on the fence, silly, that's an opportunity!

Quickly fix all the tiny little issues that you could easily fix (misaligned glue, not fully screwed in shit, etc.) and then sell it to a Musker as a model personally sent to you from him to prove the cars don't have build quality issues (make a fake tweet DM from him or some shit, he'd totally do something like it) and sell it for a 30% markup

Then get yourself an actually decent car with the money

Pretty terrible considering the ongoing Kia theft scandal. Four times worse than a car you can steal with a USB cable

Kia should send former customers Tesla decals as an antitheft device.

that only affects the lowend vehicles that has no push to start, of course if you do have a push to start, the worry is someone will break into it anyway thinking it's an easy steal.

someone will break into it anyway thinking it's an easy steal

Which is exactly what happened to my Kia

There's a free repair now that stops the method from working, but it won't stop dumb kids/criminals from breaking your window and trying anyway.
