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 mean yeah... They are ugly as shit, have stupid fucking interiors and some serious QA issues, but to this day Tesla makes one of the most solid EV drivetrains on the market. The Model Y was the global top-selling car for a reason.
The reason is the hype, though. Consumers are not rational, and the Chinese EVs were blocked out, too.
I mean, no, not really. They were fine 20 years ago when for a brief time they were better and cheaper (due to being heavily subsidized) than pretty much anything else on the market, and the free supercharger network was pretty much the only way to charge on the go. They've since been vastly surpassed, and have only decreased in quality as you admit. They're definitely not great cars anymore.
Have you ever driven one? You wouldn’t say this if you’d ever driven one. They suck ass. Steering like a tank, gravelly acceleration… I’m surprised more people don’t talk about this. I was genuinely shocked by how miserable they are to drive, because most cars are kind of the same.
