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.

Pretty sure anything on that truck is expensive to replace

Save yourself a click, the blade is $75.

That doesn't seem so bad since there appears to only be one.

Regular blades are like $25-$35 but you need to buy two.

Pro tip, in most viper blades, the rubber part can be easily replaced without the rest of the assembly.

It's less than the headline would have you believe actually.

“YOU CAN HAVE A NEW WIPER BLADE IF YOU BUY TWITTER I MEAN ‘X’ FROM ME”

I worked for a guy with a tesla in june. I think he's still waiting for a replacement window.

Poor little rich guy.

That's expensive, but not outrageously so.

Bear in mind, you would only need to replace the blade most of the time.

Everything about it is overpriced, but I don't think you'll be too upset to replace a wiper for $165 if you spend $60,000 on the truck to begin with.

That’s just the cheapest one that’s even less worth buying, too. Not even AWD.
