Opining Tesla will in fact make millions of cars each year and dominate the industry is acceptable - actually encouraged (with reasoning), as it provides a nice balance and perspective against our admittedly skeptical slant. It is acceptable to put whatever title you want on original content Shitpost images that are memes/photoshops/etc intended to be humorous.Д¤) No mindless, pro-Elon 'Tesla will rule the world' fandom. The moderation team will curate Shitposts so that no more than a few are on the front page at a given time. Posts about the automotive industry in general must be accompanied by a comment from OP explaining how it relates to Tesla.ДЄny post that does not meet the requirements of Rule 1, but is related to Tesla's sister companies, Elon Musk, or Tesla fan(boi)s, must be flaired as TESLAGENTIAL, or it will be removed.Дў) Meta posts discussing the subreddit itself need to be pre-approved by a Moderator, and will be flaired as such.ДЈ) Posts whose intent is humor (not information or discussion) must be flaired as a SHITPOST. The latter is all too common in forums with polarizing topics.ДЇurther, all moderator activity is recorded and publicly viewable here.ДЎ) Posts, both text and link, must relate to Tesla or the EV or AV market space in which they compete.

This serves two purposes - it allows the community a chance to provide feedback on the action, and it prevents a covert censoring of the discussion by removing dissenting opinions without notifying the community the action was taken. As such, any ban or equivalent moderator action is announced publicly. One of the core values of r/RealTesla is transparency. Positive views on the company are not only accepted, they are encouraged - but only with data to support claims made. We aren't 'neutral', we are generally quite dubious of the claims made by Tesla and their leadership, and have some fun at their expense.

If you're interested in discussing the polarizing, ongoing soap opera that is Tesla, but not looking for an echo chamber of circlejerkery, this is the place for you.
