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.

Moreover, with the Model Y in particular, not all vehicles come with manual releases for the rear doors, as Tesla warns in the car's manual. It's unclear if the Model Y involved in the crash was equipped with the emergency feature.

Ok but they didn't open the front doors either. This is an argument of "the emergency latch is not clear enough", pretending there is no match is a losing argument

Oh shit I guess I lost to your superior logic. Wonder why all these people keep dying, then.

Because the emergency latch isn't easy to find?

If someone currently owns a Tesla, you want them to know a latch is there. That's how you stop people from dying. Not by lying that it doesn't exist.

When you're dying if smoke inhalation the subtle difference between "hard to find" and "not existent" door latches doesn't matter - they're effectively the same.

What the fuck are they doing over at Tesla to make it hard to open a door in an emergency

I didn't know there was such thing as a mechanical latch and I've been a passenger in a tesla. Stop blaming the victims
