About a decade ago, Tesla rigged the dashboard readouts in its electric cars to provide “rosy” projections of how far owners can drive before needing to recharge, a source told Reuters. The automaker last year became so inundated with driving-range complaints that it created a special team to cancel owners’ service appointments.

      I’m tired of hearing about him too but unfortunately Tesla and Twitter are high profile companies. When they are in the news, he is unfortunately associated.

                Literally, no. Subject wise, yes.

                Twitter ain’t shit - people obsessing.
                Twitter is shit and so people are obsessing.

                Same thing. If it’s shit, ignore it and move on. Make your own Twitter. You never owned it, you have no right to claim it ever was or ever will be anything. You’re a dude looking from the outside in, whining.

                  “looking from the outside in”

                  Actually, no, I’m on the inside because there are certain people I want to keep up with on every platform because they haven’t transitioned out to Mastadon/Lemmy/Pixelfed/etc yet and may never. Doesn’t mean I give them significant traffic. I rarely if ever comment on T/X, and all promoters get autoblocked with browser extensions.

                  I’m minimizing engagement and benefit to T/X, which is still shit, and I have to manage it, but only until the few people I care to keep up with there move somewhere else.

      Alright, I get it when people don’t care that Twitter changed its brand name or whatever, but are we going to ignore reports about electric cars that don’t work as advertised and the company trying to cover it up, just because we keep hearing a lot about the CEO?

      News shouldn’t be treated as fads, not even by people who think they are overplayed.
