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.

For reference, a U.S.-made Honda Civic is 70.9 inches (1800.86 mm) wide.

A Nissan Clipper Kei Truck is 58 inches (1475 mm) wide.

A pickup truck smaller than a sedan. You can't even buy them in the U.S. unless they're specially imported.

American vehicles are too big. Just way too big.

I would love one of those kei trucks for camping. Solid size and I can have a whole set up in the back. Would you happen to know if there's an American alternative? I've looked into some kei trucks and there's some cheap ones in japan but it would be a fortune to import and I'm not car savvy so I couldn't do my own repairs.

Going into decimal mm really isn't necessary for anything. No one can be that precise (except milling).

The person before me did it, and they use commas instead of decimal points, so I assumed it was a standard car measurement in Europe.

3,635 mm is not 3.635 mm. If you want it's 3.635 meters.
