Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I agree with you 100%, but your example doesn’t work. There IS a mechanical way to open the door. There’s a concealed handle near the window controls.

Still won’t buy one because the quality is shit and Muskrat is a shitbag, but if you’re gonna hate, hate for the right reasons :)

[–] Coreidan@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago (2 children)

No my example is perfect. And you used the right word to describe it.

CONCEALED.

Ok so maybe the owner knows about it. Not every body who rides or even drives the car is going to be the owner. There are a lot of extenuating circumstances.

You shouldn’t need to be instructed on how to open the fucking door when there is a power failure. It should be intuitive. It’s intuitive in literally #every single car on the road today except for teslas. Oh no. If you are driving in a Tesla you better be briefed ahead of time where the concealed door handle is incase of an emergency and if you don’t happen to know where it is then I guess you’re fucked.

No thanks. I’d rather just buy a car that isn’t designed by brain dead idiots trying to make a buck off a stupid gimmick.

[–] LrdThndr@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

100% fair. And I agree with you dude. It’s a STUPID fucking design.

But to say there isn’t one at all is disingenuous and detracts from the 100% on the nose argument you’re making.

[–] set_secret@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

actually if we're talking about the Model 3 it's not concealed it's extremely obvious. most people try to pull that instead of pressing the button to open the door.

idk if it's concealed on other models?

[–] Coreidan@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Either way opening a door shouldn’t be confusing. This is part of the problem.

[–] guacupado@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

This is part of the problem.

Sounds like a personal one.

[–] diannetea@lemmy.ml 15 points 2 years ago (3 children)

In an emergency when you are panicking and haven't practiced opening it tho? If you even know where it is?

I would be surprised if even half of tesla owners know where the handle is

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Knowing what I know now at this very moment, I would preemptively practice emergency exit from a Tesla ASAP. Practice regularly like we would practice fire drills in a house.

[–] LrdThndr@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nah, you can’t do that bruh. It’s only for emergencies. In fact using it can damage your door. It’s a STUPID fucking design.

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Yikes, that's awful. K I'll stick with my Mercedes, am no longer remotely envious of teslas anymore.

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

My passengers find the emergency release all the time.

Been in one a few times. Had zero idea that was there.
