Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Oh well, what can you do? Rome is pretty hot this time of the year.
Who knew Teslsas would set on fire in hot temperatures.
Well I have a pretty good idea of what the cause is...
its fine the cars committed suicide
DDR Announcer Voice: "Good Good Keep on going!"
Burn a few and get a little satisfaction. Burn some more and you get some more satisfaction. Burn 'em all and you get complete satisfaction.
Did anyone bring a fiddle?
...but investigators are exploring multiple causes, including arson.
I think it's quite telling that they're likely considering the strong possibility that these wonderous marvels of cost-cutting may have just spontaneously lit themselves ablaze without help, at rest, in a parking lot.
For a majority of other vehicles, that'd be an absurd conclusion. But Teslas contain a baffling amount of greed-motivated engineering and numerous fire incidents. It isn't talked about enough and I see more of these things by the day. There has to be some kind of "reputation management" going on.
Either way, remember kids! If you see someone setting an unoccupied swastikar ablaze...
No you didn't.
There's a plausible case where either a very stupid OTA software update or a faulty charger could in fact cause a bunch of them to catch fire at once.
I bet all these fires are of the result of Elon Musk remotely catching them on fire. Which means two things. One he is losing money and needs a insurance payout. Two he is planting these as false flags in order to further trump agenda. They already want to label anyone who even vandalizes a tesla as a terrorist. Musk is doing this and its fucking terrifying how trump reacting.
"Engage Insurance Protocol X!"
When in Rome...
BTW, which Rome? Like, I'd assume Italy, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was another Rome.
Edit: confirmed that it's Rome, Italy via other articles.
maybe it was Nero?
Rome fiddled while Tesla burned. :)
Oh so sad.
/s
New Olympic sport just dropped.
Expect more of this.
Why would the WOKE libs do this?
Oh this in Rome? Do they have woke libs?
Tarrifed Teslas
the ~~years of lead~~ years of lithium have started
And nothing of value was lost
That's not true. The materials used to make those could have gone to something much more productive.
They already were wasted by making teslas
The lithium should burn to lithium oxide. So it should still be recycled to recover most or almost all of it.
Opportunity costs.
Always enjoy these headlines 🍿
