By truce agreement, Mexico feeds the front half and the USA cleans up the poop from the rear half. Both sides think they’ve got the better deal. The chihuahua is angry at this arrangement and the rest of existence, as is the way with such things.

Depends entirely on how you take it…

How can I phrase this nicely… I don’t think being on Lemmy, of all services, has a strong correlation with being neurotypical. When it comes to Fediverse users being neurodiverse, the odds are good… and the goods are odd 😆

It’s because the ocean doesn’t exist.

say that the astronauts landed in the ocean because they don’t want us to realise that there is no ocean. NASA landed on the moon and faked the “”””””””splashdown“””””””” (which was filmed by Kevin Reynolds at a soundstage on Specific Boulevard) just to keep people from realising THE TRUTH..!!!.!!.!!!.!!!!!!!!!!!

Pay attention.

Here, the fine manual: https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/model3/en_us/GUID-A7A60DC7-E476-4A86-9C9C-10F4A276AB8B.html

It would be nice if we could stick to the facts instead of making wild assertions.

For the Model 3, the front seats have a pull handle by the window control that will open the door even without power. This is in an obvious and intuitive location, and should be known to any owner who has spent a few minutes reading the manual and studying the capabilities of their vehicle. The rear seats do not have an exposed pull handle, but there is an emergency release under the door pocket liner.

Complete guides to all Tesla manual door release controls exist and are available.

The only model where the emergency release is hidden behind a door panel is the Model X, where the rear seats hide the emergency release cable behind a speaker grille.

There are perfectly fair and valid criticisms to level at Tesla, but when people repeat uninformed FUD instead of sticking to the facts it makes it easy to write off their opinions are worthless.

It would be very fair and reasonable to question or criticise:

  • Why the rear seats in the Model 3 do not have an immediately obvious emergency release.
  • Why it’s not always possible to open the car doors from the outside after a crash (IIRC they should auto-unlock after an accident but this depends on them still being powered)
  • Why all of the large windows are laminated, making it hard to break them in the event of an accident (citation needed for the Model 3, this may only be the Model Y. Also it’s for soundproofing.)
  • Why the CEO chucked out two Nazi salutes…

But saying “you have to take the door panel off first”? Incorrect and uninformed, sorry.

Assuming you’ve been diagnosed with ADHD, abusing your prescriptions like that is a very bad idea. You should consider taking some medication breaks to lower your tolerance, but most importantly seeing your ADHD specialist to review your dosage.
