Is this really technology news?
The rules for this community say:
5: personal rants of Big Tech CEOs like Elon Musk are unwelcome (does not include posts about their companies affecting wide range of people)
Start a new community with a tighter focus, and block this one, if you don't like it 🤷♀️
yes
How is this not technology news, what does the word technology mean in your mind?
Certainly not automobile safety. This has nothing to do with technology, as in development, but is tangentially relevant being that Tesla positions itself as a technology company.
I don't see any posts here about all the other ev car companies. Technology can be technically be any progress or development, but I also don't expect to see tech posts about gradual iterations or improvements in the touchscreen operation of a lawnmower.
People come here to find out about new tech and the development of it. This is musk spam.
Last I checked vehicles are a piece of technology, and a how a kind of a vehicle performs is very much a discussion about technology. I notice that you still failed to define what it is you think the word technology means.
As I mentioned, technology can mean any development. So I didn't define it, so much as point out that a strict reading of the word is different to what people expect posts about.
Forks and knives are also a technology, but are not relevant here. If you don't get the nuance, or disagree, that's fine.
If you and others think it's relevant, enjoy, but I'm pointing out that for others, myself included, this is spam and more appropriately posted to other communities including but not limited to Elevtic vehicles communities (about 20 exist) Enoughmuskspam Cars communities (about 20 communities)
Your displeasure has been noted. Amusingly, you still haven't actually said what it is you define technology as. Surely, you can give a clear definition of what it is you think technology actually is.
I have twice showed you that my definition is meaningless, as is a dictionary definition. There is none so blind as cannot see.
If you think the safety rating of a niche car qualifies as technology news, you're in for an exciting time looking at history books.
Given the upvote ratio on the post, it's pretty clear that most people enjoyed seeing this. Maybe go do your pedantic gatekeeping somewhere else. The fact that you felt the need to write an entire diatribe about this is frankly incredible.
Lol, my answers increased in length based on your responses. My initial response was a single sentence. I'm glad other people are enjoying it. It seems to have led to some really interesting discussion.
