Enough Musk Spam
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.

Your car is on fire. The battery is burning so you have no fonctioning doors.
In the panic of your flesh getting pretty hot, you gotta remember "use the manual release lever".

I hope your kids and passengers paid attention to the training video you had them watch.
It actually depends on the model, it may be under the seat, behind the speaker, in the door pocket. It's insane.
Yikes! That's a service latch, not an emergency release.
Yeah - and as somebody reminded me in another thread it's because you can damage the window by using it.
It's such a well-designed car.
if the car is burning in a fire I think window damage isn't my biggest concern lol
The reason it's "hidden" is to prevent it from being used when the car is NOT on fire.
It's a well-designed car.
This is the whole reason we have strict building codes for door hardware. Locks have to be able to open in a single action, and room with a larger occupancy have to have panic devices that can open the door just from falling on them. The panic devices were invented after a major theater fire killed a bunch of people thanks to their stupidly-designed fancy locks that nobody could figure out how to open during the panic.
