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.

MODERATORS
Depends on context.
If we're talking purely car wise they are pretty decent. The build quality is a bit iffy sometimes but the ride experience is decent.
If we're factoring in price then no. It costs like 40 to 50k USD and even with rebates and ev programs thats way too expensive. Should be closer to 20k to 30k IMO, especially since BYDs would cost around that if they could be sold in the US (probably never happening though)
If we're including branding baggage of elon then doubly no cause my god that guy is an idiot. He could've been the Tony Stark of the tech world back in 2017 or so when everyone thought he was a decent person, but I guess it's too hard to hide his true colors
From everything I've heard, they are mediocre vehicles at best, but I wouldn't buy one even if they were the best car on the planet, at an affordable price. Musk is a monster, and an existential threat to humankind, and I'm not supporting him in any way.
Pretty much. As a car they are fine, they have some nice touches but overall they are a solid 6 out of 10. Introduce the factor of who you fund by buying them and they become a 0 out of 10 car.
