World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I think that's a big part of it, but even putting him and all his BS aside, they haven't really done much innovating in years. In the mid '10s it seemed like they were making big gains in manufacturing and following up the success of the Model S with the X, Y, and 3 as well as developing the gigafactory and things like the powerwall. Since probably 2019 though, they've just been spinning their wheels and stagnating on things like autonomy and building the Cybertruck with no real gain to show for it.
I imagine it won't be long before he's ousted though as it provides a convenient scape goat for everything along with shedding dead weight who's main appeal previously was being outspoken online and "a disruptor" before everything turned to right wing politics.
The guy deserves all sorts of crap for the way he runs his mouth (and so do we all for putting him on that pedestal), but come on ….
Since 2019
Sure the vehicles look similar but there’s still huge innovation …… except that Cybertruck. If ever there was a good time for them to just let something drop to obscurity, it would be when that had so much trouble and Rivian and Ford beat them to release
Yeah because heat pumps are new technology. It's a reversible air conditioner is what it is.
I like how you're touting that as a good thing when it was stupid as fuck.

Not all innovation succeeds and this might not, but what other car company would even try? Innovation is about being willing to try things that are new and different, even when it fails
Things that don't work are not innovation. Stainless steel that rusts is certainly not innovation.
Not a musk fan, but all these rust problems could have been avoided if the buyers just ponied up another $5,000 for a clear coat.
Even though it's a really crappy money grab, technically the rust problem isn't tesla fault per se.
It's not Tesla's fault that they sell a car that rusts unless you pay them extra?
I mean it's teslas fault they're cheap skate assholes, but it's technically your fault you didn't buy the clear coat. It's not like the option wasn't there.
I honestly figured people who bought it like that were going to apply their own finishes to it, not just let it rust. It's not like stainless steel is actually stainless.
I suppose the fact they bought the damn thing in the first place should have been my first clue.
No it is not your fault. You should not be expected to buy a car with the expectation that it will rust immediately unless you pay thousands of dollars more. That's essentially saying you're going to have something broken unless you pay extra.
The 48V system and the binder Tesla sent to other auto manufacturers of how to finally do it is a great example. Videos I've seen on it made it seem really really cool, hopefully other manufacturers follow suit
Check's in the mail 😉
Are you talking about the m3 performance? That is just a model update.
