For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.

No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.

Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.

Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.

Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

If you’re even remotely in control of your senses,

Modern Car UI had evolved to all be the same because in a panic or even causal driving, it's safer to have manual or automatic shift patterns to all be the same and the clutch/break/gas pedals all in the same order. I won't touch something with a ~~knob~~ dial shifter. I shouldn't have to take my eyes off the road to shift gears or just from forward to reverse.

edited for clarity.

Why are you looking at the shifter when using it? Don't you know it's shy?
