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.

Interesting choice to be made by Tesla: recall and change the parcel shelf or remove the middle seatbelt in the back.

Another option available to Tesla is removing the rear-centre seatbelt and re-certifying the Model 3 as a four-seater.

The latest Honda HR-V small SUV introduced in 2022 was certified in Australia as a four-seater as the Japanese car giant chose not to invest in engineering a top-tether point for the middle rear seat – and instead elected to remove the middle rear seatbelt.

“Another option available to Tesla is removing the rear-centre seatbelt and re-certifying the Model 3 as a four-seater.”

Which, if you purchased the vehicle needing or wanting a 5 seater, should make it not fit for purpose under Australian law and require a refund.
