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.

Some of these cases may be down to user error, since most Teslas come with manual release levers.

"Teslas have a massive design flaw that doesn't make opening the fucking doors obvious like it has been for 100 years"

Your car is on fire. The battery is burning so you have no fonctioning doors.

In the panic of your flesh getting pretty hot, you gotta remember "use the manual release lever".

Yeah, no fucking shit that it happens.

In the panic of your flesh getting pretty hot, you gotta remember “use the manual release lever”.

If you're in the front seat.

If you're in the back seat you:

  1. Hope your model Y is equipped with a manual lever.
  2. Assuming you are still alive (see (1)) - Remove the mat from the bottom of the rear door pocket.
  3. Press the red tab to remove the access door.
  4. Pull the mechanical release cable forward.

I hope your kids and passengers paid attention to the training video you had them watch.

Yikes! That's a service latch, not an emergency release.

Yeah - and as somebody reminded me in another thread it's because you can damage the window by using it.

It's such a well-designed car.

if the car is burning in a fire I think window damage isn't my biggest concern lol

The reason it's "hidden" is to prevent it from being used when the car is NOT on fire.

It's a well-designed car.
