UK must try harder.

List of stuff that I can't accept from a vehicle:

If it's created by a Nazi
If the gear selector is on a touchscreen
If the blinkers are on a touch button
If the wipers are on a menu on a touchscreen
If it has no support for Android auto or carplay
If it requires a subscription for something that is already present at moment of purchase or is done locally by the headunit
If the doors don't have a mechanical unlock from outside or inside (no, the mechanical unlock from inside it's too hidden to be considered, in case of emergency nobody will be able to find it before being burned alive - even in a hidden room game they don't hide levers under rubber mats in drawers)

If it’s created by a Nazi

Leon didn't create it. He just bought the company. But for me, Nazi ownership is a bigger deal anyway.

Means that too many people are still buying teslas though.

My friend has one. When I saw her I asked if she knew there was dog shit on her drive. She came out and asked where. Wasn't hapoy when I pointed at her tesla.

Attaboy, make her regret it every second you’re around

[-] Species8472@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 6 days ago

When she asked you if you think that was funny, did you reply with "heil no"?

[-] Corporal_Punishment@feddit.uk 4 points 6 days ago

Lol she didnt ask.

She just called me a dickhead

Off-topic, but...

it occurred to me the other day that Tesla (the actual person) has been exploited by Edison in real life. A century later his name is exploited yet again by another "genius inventor". I just feel bad for the guy.

[-] Paranoidfactoid@lemmy.world 45 points 6 days ago

No worries! The stock price keeps going up, so it doesn't matter how many cars Tesla actually sells.

[-] kubok@fedia.io 32 points 6 days ago

Oh dear. How sad. Never mind.

[-] Tja@programming.dev 12 points 6 days ago

My heart goes out to Musk....

[-] MehBlah@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago

I wonder has that super genius figured out it was his fault yet? Just kidding he is a narcissist. They never blame themselves for their problems.

Musk fucked around and found out.

[-] Regrettable_incident@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

TBF I'm pretty sure that cheap Chinese EVs are a pretty big factor here. Of course, all the nazi shit doesn't help.

[-] Digit@lemmy.wtf 17 points 6 days ago

Yaaaaaay.

Does this mean we can get the real "Tesla"s soon?

Nikola Tesla style tech, not Tesla Corporation style tech. Emanipatory tech, not rentier tech. Spaceships for everybody, not cars and rockets for the rich enough.

No? It doesn't mean that? Aw.

Stupid reality!

[-] OleFoFa@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago

I'd like to see this article's sources for the Norwegian sales number. Unfortunately, most other sources point to an about 40% increase in Tesla sales here last year. I generally like my country's adoption of evs (I'm on my third), but the fact that the muskrat keeps selling cars in norway massively bugs me :/

I see more BYDs in my country's streets.

[-] Reygle@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Good. More please.

[-] LoafedBurrito@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

I need articles like this to make me feel just a slight bit of joy with all the absolute insanity going on daily in the US.

Rules:

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
