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'd buy an XPeng or a BYD
Why? They are only marginally better than a Tesla. And the software of the dashboard is designed for Chinese people who like UX and UI that look like the Aliexpress or Taobao website. Really unintuitive. Not to mention the post sales service is about as bad as the post sales service on your Huawei phone. I’d rather buy a KIA.
Because price point.
I can get the top of the line BYD performance sedan for less than half the price of the Tesla and Kia dont do a 500hp sedan.
I wonder how much longer it will be until the board of directors of the various companies he's involved in start a serious revolt and push to get him out of the company?
I was considering Starlink
Not anymore
Tesla's are defective garbage.
I avoid Teslas because a Tesla will last maybe 5-6 years. A Civic will probably last longer than I even want to own it, to the point that it may be the car I die in if I don't sell it.
I don't think Tesla has to exactly meet those demands, but halfway would be nice.
My 2000 CRV won't fucking die. It has 265k on it, and half the electronics don't work, but it starts every time, the AC & heat work great. It leaks oil like a sieve so about once every 2 months my 'reminder' light (oil) starts blinking in corners, so I pour some more in and the thing just keeps on. It'd be nice to get something newer, but I kinda promised myself that I'd drive this one into the ground, and don't really want to take on another car payment anyway.
The best electric car currently is the Volkswagen ID.7. I agree with Musk. Buy it.
/previously Tesla Model 3, now the ID.7
In reality, the average person doesn't care and doesn't follow news about Elon.
My pillow car!
It's interesting that two of his proposed three options are "hate" or "like." It seems like most people would have said "hate" or "love."
No real chads would buy a shitty Tesla car, because real chads has old cars
