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.

These cars a made for the immanent apocalypse and you will see who has the last laugh.
You can probably attach chainsaws and shit to it but you need an app to open it (the app won't work after the apocalypse)
Everyone is talking about electricity going down but the real problem will be the Tesla DRM servers going down.
on one of the IASIP podcasts Glen Howerton who plays Denis on IASIP tells his story on how he got his Tesla stuck in a parking garage, because there was no signal there, so he couldn't use his phone to open it, then called a tow truck after buddying up to the parking garage attendant, but that they couldn't do it, because the size of the tow truck to lift the heavy tesla couldn't fit into the garage.
it also inspired an episode in the latest season, brilliant stuff, how stupid it is.
I will def. have the last laugh: with no electricity (because remember, apocalypse), owners will starve or suffocate as they can't even open their doors DAYS before i die of radiation induced cancer, laughing
Electricity is easier to source than fossil fuels; solar panels, wind power, you could even burn wood and use a steam turbine to make it
Could just get a diesel and learn how to work it. There will always be stuff to burn.
A Mercedes g class would survive longer than that truck.
My 35 year old Samurai has already survived longer. And it has just as much cargo capacity.
Suzuki Samurai are the best way to move on snowy roads, only the Panda 4×4 is better on account on the narrower tyres
There are reasons why even the fucking base models of the G class are still trusted by the world's militaries.
Oh sure, but just wait until they find out the apocalypse also means no electricity...
I remember the power in the eastern half of my state being knocked out because of an ice storm. I remember that a lot of gas stations were closed, because the pumps run on electricity.
Yes and no. The pumps are just pumps.
If you didn't have to meter it and tie that to a credit card, you could pump the gas with a hand pump.
Not to mention for civilization to collapse a hell of a lot of people have to die; which probably means environmental collapse; which means the oceans are dying; which in turn means there's no oxygen being produced because the keystone species (phytoplankton, algae, etc) are mostly dead or switching to toxic modes of energy production. This means that everyone is dying, no matter if they have an ugly DRM controlled polywagon or not.
You should look into how past civilizations collapsed. They collapse quite quickly without a lot of mass death (beforehand, I mean).
Past civilisations weren't even close to industrialised, nor did they span the entire globe. The closest was the Roman Empire of course, and they just sort of faded away over the course of a few thousand years if you count Justinian's Byzantine Empire as a direct continuation.
Our present situation is much more dire, with global consequences for reasons you are likely already aware.
You probably want to read a bit of Tainter.
Why? I'm talking about the collapse of environmental systems that support the life of every oxygen breathing species on the planet, not anthropology.
Maybe you walked into the wrong conversation by mistake then.
Solar panels won’t just stop working, you know. I have a solar generator. Takes forever to charge but it does get power.
Listen to your heart
No you listen to your heart.
go watch "Dennis takes a Mental Health Day" IASIP
Okay mate
