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.

Tesla Cybertruck Deliveries Held Because the Pedals Are Falling Apart: Report (www.thedrive.com)

The issue stems not from the pedal exactly but its aluminum plate cover, which can slide up while driving and wedge itself in between the pedal and the plastic bulkhead. When that happens, the cover pins the throttle nearly flat to the floor and keeps it there even after you lift your foot off. Holding the brake pedal down fully will override the throttle position and allow the truck to stop, but once you let off the brake, it's back to full throttle. So drivers will have to shut the truck down once they get it stopped.

That's terrifying. Especially a vehicle with this much mass, this much power, and this many razor blade side panels.
