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.

I might accept the manual transmission since you have to be a bit more engaged to actually make the car drive but the rest? Nah man. A modern car that isn't self driving but has lane assist, backup cameras, and auto brakes is going to just be inherently more safe.
A tesla where people are napping behind the wheel? Obviously a bit too far with tech that isn't quite there.
Agreed.
Here in the EU my insurance gave me a rebate for every safety feature, and that's not charity, simply them looking at the statistics. A lot of this stuff is now also legally required on new cars.
Fixed that for you.
I disagree with back up cameras, seems people don’t have any special awareness anymore and just stare at that screen, but maybe with those monster trucks it can help some.
Spatial* and back up cameras are infinitely better than craning your head around back and forth and staring through a tiny back window, needing to hope that there isn't an object below bumper height.
Just because something is on a screen doesn't make it worse.
That's fair.
