const_void ( @const_void@lemmy.ml ) 61•1 year agoNo idea why people keep buying cars from this guy. Fuck this moron.
Scrubbles ( @scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech ) 77•1 year agoI’m in the EV market right now, looking for a good commuter car, and Tesla went from my #1 spot to one of the last options. It’s amazing how well he tanked that whole business. Luckily there’s a ton of
competitioncheaters now Duamerthrax ( @Duamerthrax@lemmy.ml ) 30•1 year agoA conservative was talking at me a few weeks ago about how much he loved how Musk was pissing off the libs and about how he’s a shrewd businessman. I asked if he would buy a Tesla and he said never. He didn’t have a response when I told him Musk doesn’t sound like a good businessman.
thisbenzingring ( @thisbenzingring@wirebase.org ) 11•1 year agoWhat is at the top of your list? I’m leaning towards the Ford Mach E with awd but have only looked deeply at half of what is available. Tesla is at the bottom of my list also
Scrubbles ( @scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech ) 16•1 year agoMach e is up there. Currently number one spot is the Hyundai ioniq 6, it looks like a direct competitor to the model 3. Nissan leaf and I think Honda are in the running too. Idk gotta start test driving to really know. I’ll still test drive a model 3, but from what I hear and see I probably won’t go for it
Ophy ( @ophy@lemmy.nz ) 8•1 year agoThe Ioniqs are absolutely sexy vehicles, they’re at the top of my list too!
OccasionallyFeralya ( @OccasionallyFeralya@lemmy.ml ) English4•1 year agoYeah Hyundai in general recently has knocked it out of the park with their design language and the ioniqs are some of the best in their lineup
blackluster117 ( @blackluster117@possumpat.io ) English2•1 year agoI just need them to make the N Vision 74 happen, and I’m 100% on board.
OccasionallyFeralya ( @OccasionallyFeralya@lemmy.ml ) 2•9 months agolate as hell but yes please the N74 is one of the most gorgeous cars to come out of this decade
Rexios ( @Rexios@lemm.ee ) English3•1 year agoI was in the same boat as you having the Tesla be my dream car until all this Twitter shit hit the fan. My roommate has an Ioniq 5 which I liked so much I got an Ioniq 6 as soon as it came out. I absolutely love it.
GeminiFrenchFry ( @GeminiFrenchFry@lemm.ee ) 3•1 year agoMy friend bought a 22 leaf last year and from what I know, she loves it. It definitely took some getting used to! We still normally take my car on road trips, though.
Venutian Spring ( @Venutianxspring@lemmy.fmhy.ml ) 2•1 year agoMan those Ioniqs look so good in person too. I’m considering buying one for my wife next year, if I can convince her to get ride of her beloved Prius
CalcProgrammer1 ( @CalcProgrammer1@lemmy.ml ) 4•1 year agoMy parents got a 2021 Mach E and they love it. I’ve driven it a few times. I’m eyeing one for my next car too, though I’ve also been interested in Hyundai’s offerings. I’ve never wanted a Hyundai in my life but their new EV lineup looks pretty compelling.
thisbenzingring ( @thisbenzingring@wirebase.org ) 1•1 year agoIm not sure I could own a car with such an ugly tail end lol… ::Shudder::
degrix ( @degrix@lemmy.hqueue.dev ) 4•1 year agoI’ve had my Mach-E GT for two years now and it’s been very reliable and very comfortable. There were a couple of small hiccups early on, but I can’t see going back to non-electric cars. Would definitely buy it again!
smallerdemon ( @smallerdemon@lemmy.ml ) 10•1 year agoDid you see they are cutting cost by removing all right-side driver cars from production and still selling in those markets with an included reaching arm for things like badging in? Hilarious.
Holzkohlen ( @Holzkohlen@feddit.de ) 1•1 year agoJust include a reaching leg thingy as well then you can drive from the right side too. Musk, if you do this I will sue you for “cheating”.
fidodo ( @fidodo@lemm.ee ) 4•1 year agoHe chose to get cocky right when competition caught up
packadal ( @packadal@beehaw.org ) 1•1 year agoI honestly don’t get it.
Why is his (mis) management of Twitter a factor in your car choice?
Not to say he’s a good guy or a genius or anything in the Elon musk circle jerk, but the CEOs of the other car companies are not angels last time I checked.
They’re just more private about being dickheads.
I’ll soon be in the market for an electric car, and I’ll look at Tesla’s on their own merits, not at the last screech if a man child complaining about the very system that got him stupidly rich.
billygoat ( @billygoat@lemmy.fmhy.ml ) 1•1 year agoIdk, from what I heard he barely spends his time with Tesla these days due to being preoccupied with twitter 😂
I have even forgotten he is in cars business, more news from him when he is manipulating crypto prices
Contend6248 ( @Contend6248@feddit.de ) 3•1 year agoWhat grinds my gears the most is that every fucking manufacturer sucks at software and usability so hard it hurts every time. I rather have bad UX than bow to this moron though.
circuitfarmer ( @circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org ) 60•1 year agoI wonder if this guy is interested in touring the Titanic wreck
Contend6248 ( @Contend6248@feddit.de ) 8•1 year agoI would hope that company stays in business, making the world a better place

Landrin201 ( @Landrin201@lemmy.ml ) 54•1 year agoIt’s not cheating to hire the workers you unceremoniously fired to save money asshole. It’s called capitalism.
Then again, every super wealthy capitalist doesn’t actually want capitalism. They want feudalism, where nobody else is allowed to compete with them and if someone makes them angry they can banish them from society without trial.
float ( @float@feddit.de ) 18•1 year agoUsually they don’t allow competition, this one is a bit special because it involves two billionaires and it’s basically a show-off. The regular case is: they buy any potential competitor in an early stage and let it die. The 5% of the start-up CEOs that don’t just take the few hundred millions will face a nasty attack where they steal employees or do some negative marketing or whatever sabotage fits.
Radioaktvt ( @Radioaktvt@lemmy.one ) 39•1 year ago“Competition is fine” says the guy that was born into wealth and was given a huge leg up in life. Although, I really hope they duke it out in court with Meta just so they burn through piles of money needlessly.
Stan ( @Stan@lemmywinks.com ) 3•1 year agoI’m thinking their lawyers are already on retainer and being paid anyway? The money they waste will be taxpayers funding the court system.

AlexWIWA ( @AlexWIWA@lemmy.ml ) 28•1 year agoWelfare queen, that relies on government subsidies to run his business, accuses other billionaires of cheating in the market. Hilarious
🌴 𝓣𝓸𝓾𝓻𝓲𝓼𝓽 ( @tourist@community.destinovate.com ) 25•1 year agoAs if there’s any secret to Twitter that any person couldn’t figure out, we’re talking about 280 character messages. I hope they both just cancel each other out.
The Cuuuuube ( @Cube6392@beehaw.org ) 1•1 year ago“Implement twitter” is one of the most common programming practice problems. The complications of Twitter are how it scales to meet load (which Elon has clearly demonstrated he does not understand, given how many times he’s broken the site by “turning off unnecessary microservices”). Decent chance Threads not only doesn’t use Elon’s alleged special secret sauce, and further more likely uses a much more technically advanced special secret sauce
FrankTheHealer ( @FrankTheHealer@lemmy.ml ) 21•1 year agoI’m sure Meta’s lawyers are shaking in their boots lol
Wait, didn’t he buy his way into Tesla and then forced out the previous CEO or something?
Yeah read the same stuff, it is his way to become innovator :)
MadMaurice ( @madmaurice@discuss.tchncs.de ) 19•1 year agoWhat part of it is supposed to be cheating?
Contend6248 ( @Contend6248@feddit.de ) 16•1 year agoWhat is the context of his tweet?
interolivary ( @interolivary@beehaw.org ) 46•1 year agoElmo is angy that Meta hired the employees he fired (or who quit because Twitter’s a fucking dumpster fire) to build a Twitter-like service.
jdeath ( @jdeath@lemm.ee ) 33•1 year agocan we not drag elmo’s good name through the mud? i understand it is to dunk on elon but elmo is a wonderful character from my childhood and my four year old daughter loves him also. i just don’t think it is fair to elmo

Duamerthrax ( @Duamerthrax@lemmy.ml ) 6•1 year agoGive Wizards of the Coast enough time, and it wont be.
redditmigrant ( @redditmigrant@infosec.pub ) 8•1 year agoIn the letter sent to the Zuck by his lawyers it’s stated that ex-Twitter engineers still have access to Twitter trade secrets, which doesn’t make much sense for people that haven’t worked there for months. This means that either he is basically lying or Twitter is not able to secure itself because they probably have also fired the people in charge to do so
EvilColeslaw ( @EvilColeslaw@beehaw.org ) 3•1 year agoIIRC some of the employees who still have company-owned computers, etc have tried numerous times to return them with no response from Twitter. Like you said probably because those people were fired as well.
