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.

It's actually surprisingly hard to get a lithium cell to catch on fire from simply physical damage. You need to break it very specifically, and crushing them flat with a fucking tank will just shatter them before anything serious happens.
The reason that it happens so much due to damage is because there are a LOT off cells, and if someone damages the pack, there's a point between total destruction and no damage where it's just the right level of damage to cause thermal runaway reaction. The other reasons are manufacturing defects, and shitty charging, which are WAY more common than physical damage.
