I used to want a Tesla. At this point, I'd be embarrassed to drive it.
After the information that has come out about the quality control and the life expectancy of the cars, I don't want one.
I never wanted a Tesla before it was cool to never have wanted a Tesla.
Why did you never want a Tesla? They definitely seemed like the cars of the future.
Public transport is the future if you live in a city. I have never wanted to own a car.
The drivetrain is definitely one of the best for BEVs, but personally I've always hated the big touchscreen that Tesla insists on (and others have been copying)
I came really close to buying an S years ago. It’s the tech that makes it for me. Performance, sure, but I’d take a self-driving Eames lounge in a heartbeat.
What turned me off was the quality vs price. At that point, Elon has yet to fail so publicly at delivering on the tech. I knew I could pay less for a higher quality German car which would also have a more comfortable ride. As more and more came out about Tesla and Elon, I can only continue to appreciate my choice back then.
there's plenty of other electric cars
Hmm...
Coincidence? I THINK NOT! Wake up sheeple etc.
Anyway, someone should probably report this post, since it's just a promotion attempt for the Elon community (or more likely for the various Drama communities).
Definitely one of the most annoying people to pop up on here. It’s not entertaining.
Actually this post made me block that community so I'm not sure how effective their "promotion" really is.
Doesn't Elon have enough to do being CEO of 3 companies? Why is he making posts about himself on Lemmy.
As far as I can tell, he thinks that being CEO means posting on the Internet 200 times per day. I'm assuming that his board of directors lets him do it since it's less damaging than having him involved in the actual management of the company.
Just shows that CEOs really don't do shit
THIS. RIGHT. HERE.
Everything about this seems like a troll account/community, even the name of the community is a play off of 45’s cult subreddit. I would say don’t feed them/him/it, block it and move on.
That's how TD started.
It always starts off as trolls and satire, and then the plot is lost. It happened with SRS. It happened with rDrama, it happened with TD.
Did someone say Colt 45?
Oh come on, that's obviously rdrama bait.
We allowed the drama community so far. Even with the "landlord lover" shit which is just ragebait. Now this one is created obviously for the same reasons. Allowed the kids to have some fun and whatnot. But calling people "schizo" is a no-no. This was also the user that tried to stirr up the drama with Hexbear by telling others to "take their meds" which was then used against Lemmy World because we "allowed ableism".
I will ban gsa's account for a week. And we will think what will be done with the drama community. Now you have your drama 🙄
... and community blocked
Thanks for the heads up.
Looks like just the one (so far).
!the_elon@lemmy.world for people who don't use my instance.
Why do these annoying losers have to be everywhere?
I guess Twitter isn't enough of a safe space for them?
Its worse they came from Facebook
Umman Manda by any other name smell just as sweet
So are we just going to ignore the fact that your alt is a mod in that community?
Huh. How'd you figure that out?
"Clever Clover" aka gsa377@shitjustworks, and one of the mods for that community is gsa32
They really didn't try too hard
So it's just one person? Lol
Thanks for linking it. I just made sure to block it.
No offense but you're a moron to take any of this serious. It's so very clearly satire.
Or maybe this post is satire as well and I'm the idiot.
That's how you trigger, troll or scam people, get in their blind spot so they don't think but have emotional response.
OP is a mod of that Elon comm. He's clearly drama baiting.
Another mod of that comm is also commenting in here, but they're taking it seriously.
The entire thing is stupid.
The fediverse is made up of too many chronically online people.
This is surely a troll. You'd be better off not giving it any attention.
Block and move on
I've been maintaining sanity by telling myself that community is just an elaborate satire.
Uh isn’t that a massive satire account? Why is it so goddamn hard to tell these days.
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.
