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.
Not to mention you might be a passenger and have no idea about any of this in the first place
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:
- Hope your model Y is equipped with a manual lever.
- Assuming you are still alive (see (1)) - Remove the mat from the bottom of the rear door pocket.
- Press the red tab to remove the access door.
- Pull the mechanical release cable forward.
I hope your kids and passengers paid attention to the training video you had them watch.
It actually depends on the model, it may be under the seat, behind the speaker, in the door pocket. It's insane.
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.
This is the whole reason we have strict building codes for door hardware. Locks have to be able to open in a single action, and room with a larger occupancy have to have panic devices that can open the door just from falling on them. The panic devices were invented after a major theater fire killed a bunch of people thanks to their stupidly-designed fancy locks that nobody could figure out how to open during the panic.
Anyone who owns a car should install a life hammer. Doesn't matter if it's a Tesla or an old clunker.
On a Tesla, it seems like explosive bolts would be the way to go.
Seat headrests can be pulled out and the metal guides used in a pinch.
Not on a Tesla, fixed headrests on 3 and Y.
This is something that can be addressed with owners, but what about passengers? Should they be carrying one around?
How 'bout Tesla just makes fucking mechanical door handles again?
Every Tesla has an emergency mechanical door handle. On some models, the rear passenger doors do not.
Huh. It's almost as if I already said that.
And linked to the instructions for the Model Y.
And already pointed out that they're well-concealed which is not what you want for an emergency.
Almost.
And you'd need a jackhammer for a cybertruck
Teslas were never meant to be functioning vehicles. The whole point is the cool factor, them being "drivable" is an afterthought.
Some cars use laminated glass side windows that can’t be broken by those tools.
That was helpful. Thanks for sharing that story.
