Rules:

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.

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.

it could've caught fire on its own, it's a tesla.

you should've known that when you bought the car too, before you knew about the nazism.

Yeah ICE cars catch fire 61x more often than EVs.

Facts are important. We want people to switch to EVs. Spreading falsehoods because it helps your own side short term is wrong.

no we don't. we want people to switch to public transit

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago

No. Both can be true.

ICE cars are filled with gasoline and function by blowing it up, the risk is clear. EVs should not be catching fire.

Also yea, I want people to use public transportation, actually. And I want villages to return, not these horrendous sprawling “small towns” where, despite having less stuff than my Montréal neighbourhood, it’s a huge pain to get anywhere and you need a car at least simply because too many jobs that could be remote aren’t.

just to clarify I'm not talking about "EVs". I'm talking about teslas. they're famously prone to catching fire.
