    Lol. But indeed nice of the Youtubers to put it to the test and also be honest with the results.

      I think they planned for it to fail; maybe not this fast. But there’s much more engagement bait potential with everyone loving to hate Tesla.

        The irony of people downvoting you is that they probably also love to hate Tesla, or at least what it’s become under Elon.

        I know I do. We all know Elon didn’t make shit, but he still thinks of it as his baby, that’s why I love to see these types of fails.

        You’re probably right. That’s not enough to avoid downvotes because you potentially don’t count yourself among the Tesla haters. If your comment is ambiguous to the point where people aren’t sure where you stand, they will assume the worst.

          I can handle downvotes ;-)
          It’s funny how one needs to really tow the exact mindset of a sub on lemmy or get downvoted or even banned. In some ways it’s even worse than reddit.
          For the record, I hate Tesla because of Elon. Some of the actual engineering is cool. I have a Tesla (bought before Elon went off the deep end) and quite like it. I wouldn’t buy another now.
