Rules:

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.

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.

Oh dear ! Must be those batteries spontaneously combusting. I remember when that used to happen to Samsung phones a while back.

Germans can be depended upon to do the right thing.

What do you call it when half the Teslas in a showroom are on fire?

Were they really set on fire, or did their batteries just explode? This could very well be another case of the new and improved Pinto spontaneously going off.

At what point do the board members and shareholders fire Herr Musk?

[–] ShittyBeatlesFCPres@lemmy.world 33 points 18 hours ago (3 children)

Well, one of the board members is his brother and the rest are loyalists so probably not until a shareholder revolt.

That's fine. Let him run it into the ground. No skin off my nuts

Hence the car sales show at the White House, generating some PR to pump up the stock. It worked, for now.

are they not afraid of being labeled terrorists and blackbagged to Guantanamo?

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 56 points 18 hours ago (9 children)

No, because they live in a country with rights.

Poor quality lithium batteries.
