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.

HAHAHA, I just bought it too. I bought one that has a flashlight built into it.
I remember that Adam Savage words when he simulated a car going into the water and how he described it as the worst thing that has ever happened to him. He said he was blind because his eyes stung when he opened his eyes underwater because the water was super dirty from how dirty the interior of the car was. Even when he could open them up, it was very dark. So that's why I'm thinking a flashlight would be a good idea too.
I bought this one. Its in Taiwan, but I'm sure you can find this somewhere on amazon. https://shopee.tw/%E5%80%8D%E6%80%9D%E6%B1%BD%E8%BB%8A%E5%AE%89%E5%85%A8%E9%8C%98%E8%BF%B7%E4%BD%A0%E5%AE%89%E5%85%A8%E9%8C%98-Pro-650mAh-%E7%B7%8A%E6%80%A5%E7%8E%BB%E7%92%83%E7%A0%B4%E7%A2%8E%E5%99%A8%E7%AA%97%E6%88%B6%E5%AE%89%E5%85%A8%E5%B8%B6%E5%88%87%E5%89%B2%E5%99%A8%E6%95%91%E7%94%9F%E9%80%83%E7%94%9F%E9%8C%98%E5%88%80%E7%89%87%E5%B7%A5%E5%85%B7-i.1168298290.23563972335?xptdk=b478e6e6-3f53-40ac-95d5-1faf867227bd
Ideally you want to break the window before the water has filled the cabin. The more time you have to get out, the more likely you are to survive. Going into deep water in the middle of winter is probably a death sentence, even if you get out, unless you're close to somewhere you can warm up.
Ideally you roll down the window as soon as you can before the car's electrics shut down. Then you move to break the window. Then you wait until the car is depressurized to open the door.
If you go into the water and upside down and hanging from your seatbelt, this might be extra difficult.
Maybe someone can invent a product that detects if your car has been submerged and your door unlocks and windows automatically open instantly using waterproof backup batteries. Someone would become a thousandaire.
