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.

musk inflates numbers to match his ego.
many, many, people canceled their preorder when they discovered he’s a fucking asshole.
several orders of magnitude more got tired of waiting and canceled because it too long to come out (also the base price went up by 20k,)
It turns out to be one of the least reliable, worst made cars on the road at any price.
Still uglier than an NFT.
And it’s the only Tesla designed by Elon Musk. The fraud bought his way to fame.
I love how you can tell exactly how it went down just by looking at the thing. Elon wanted a ton of specific and basically contradictory things, which led to a ton of compromises being made and corners being cut just to get it "done," and the result is a literally flaming pile of shit.
Kinda feel bad for the engineer that had to bring a toddler's drawing of a car to life but also fuck man, have some dignity. I'm sure his resume is good enough to go somewhere else if Elon fired him for telling him to pound sand.
I have a colleague who knows someone working at Tesla. Apparently Musk would walk the floor and declare "this isn't cyber enough, make it more cyber" like the awful client in every freelance webdev joke of the last 30 years.
I'd be so tempted to tell him "cyber this, jackass" while flipping him off and walking out if I were there...
Bu but he knows more about manufacturing than anyone else alive right now! I laughed so hard when he said that, I dislocated my jaw.
The fact that it got a million pre-orders after he shattered 2 invincible windows on stage would have been a warning about the future of this place. Hindsight and all I suppose though.
That’s not all they inflated.

i remember it was 5 years before the cybertruck came out, when he showed the video and pics of the design, it hasnt changed since.
