Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.


Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.

7. No duplicate posts.


If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners.


The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.

Wait. ALL? Only 3,900 (in round #s) suc…rrr..of those vehicles have been sold?

Elon, you’re a loser.

I wonder how many were given away

[–] Cogency@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

I still pass a place in California where they have a bunch stashed. I don't think they are selling well either.

What about the faulty CEO?

Who wants to bet they apply some cheap fix and call it repaired.

[–] dexa_scantron@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

The fix is a screw to actually affix the pedal cover to the pedal (instead of just glue). So, yeah, cheap, but probably fixes the problem. (Not the next fatal problem they find though...)

The knife twists a little better when you note how few made it out of the factory.

I remember there was an interview somewhere where even Musk admitted the CT is hot garbage and there's people with money who will buy anything with a Tesla badge.

[–] donuts@kbin.social 8 points 7 months ago

They should recall it for a faulty design.

[–] sparky@lemmy.federate.cc 6 points 7 months ago

Unsurprising and it won’t be the last. This is what happens when you build a meme instead of a car.

[–] gasgiant@lemmy.ml 4 points 7 months ago

Hmmm I wonder if all the liability from their other ongoing lawsuits had anything to do with their quick recall this time🤔
