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.

Cook also said that issues around the Cybertruck and other new car designs come about because the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards “under-specifies” safety standards for vehicle entry (commonly described in car engineering as ingress) and exit (egress). These standards should in theory minimize the risk of injury in both normal and emergency conditions by defining the highest possible level of safety design of the door, the step height, the quality of the door grab handles, visibility, and emergency exits.

“Combined with the ‘self-certification’ contract that exists between US auto regulators and manufacturers, it is effectively left up to Tesla to design their door actuation systems and any emergency-access systems related to that,” Cook said.
