ELON: I'm here to disrupt a monopolistic industry that for too long has shut out the private consumer. SpaceX will soon be launching its nuclear weapons program, and I'm confident we will be able to bring the innovation, creativity and efficiency of private industry to this long-stagnant field.

Every one of his mindless fanboys on twitter and reddit uses "what have YOU done??" as if it's some definitive Own or checkmate

Also I was in providence today and I drove behind the very first tesla I have ever seen out in the wild. The driver wasn't very good.

Our Lord is very disappointed in each and every one of us. Mars Ticket Status: REVOKED

Having all your fanboys tell you "haters gonna hate" over and over is a surefire way to avoid any and all constructive criticism

Musk is a non-engineer who attempts to do engineering, so it makes sense that he would think to use non-plumbers for plumbing

Found a friend of a friend defending Musk on facebook.

quote:

Elon Musk DOES pay his workers a living wage...he pays $17-$21 an hour which is lower than the average car manufacturer wage ($29.04), but every employee gets insanely good stock options. With the stock options, it actually is projected to equal out to more than the average.
He doesn't really make money off of what he does. Due to california state law he is forced to pay himself $37,000, but other than that he gives any money to research and his company.

Bolding mine.

so uhhhhh Tesla just got a credit downgrade from Hold to Sell based on accelerating order cancellations. And there's a bunch of rumors all over the place about inflated production numbers, just like the whistleblower is alleging. Apparently like ~10000 of the vehicles reported as produced or 'factory gated' never showed up anywhere and are totally MIA....?

:yikes:

Oh yeah well what have YOU done?

Vancouver has electric buses running on suspended power cables, with an arm going from the top of the bus, kind of like how bumper cars keep charged.

This is how the green line of boston's subway works.

I’m going to answer this as though you are a real person who is frustrated with their car rather than a troll.

It's darkly amusing to see all these people like "So I got my Tesla, and it's an awesome car (aside from the multiple extremely dangerous malfunctions less than a month after purchase)!"

You must preface all forum posts with unconditional praise for Musk and Tesla or you get banned.

Also, the rear doors? In the event of a power failure the only way to open them is to take off the speaker grille and pull on a little wire.

My friend has a DSLR camera with a broken screen on the back. Unfortunately Nikon put all the manual controls on the screen, in the software level, so you can't really do much unless you replace the screen. If it had knobs or other physical buttons for this purpose it wouldn't have this issue.

Tesla thought this was a good idea.

You must have been using the steering wheel wrong, muskrat. I've found that putting small slats of plywood between the dashboard (which is wonderfully nonfunctional) and the steering wheel should resolve this issue, and I'm completely okay with my $100k car being that way.

Hint: you can pop the hood if you remove the glass from the ceiling light and unscrew the bulb halfway.
