According to some (now in power):
States have Rights only while the States conform. (See the Governor of Maine's "I'll see you in court" to Trump?)
Much like Speech is Free so long as it conforms. (The Washington Post continues to find out.)

Guys (and Gals), hold on now. Sure, it's a recall for all Cybertrucks, but don't overreact! I'm sure an over-the-air software patch is incoming to fix this issue!
(That's a joke.)
Right. Just because sometimes we have to accept something, doesn't mean we have to like it.
(Though the other commenter implied people commonly or always angered by fact, but then we have nothing to talk about.)
"This disaster has rung a big alarm for Sino-Metals Leach and the mining industry," [says company directly responsible.]
Yeah, no it hasn't. This isn't the first mining dam to fail with consequences. It won't be the last. No one at that company is losing sleep over this.
Both mines have now halted their operations after orders from Zambian authorities, while many Zambians are angry.
Gotta let it die down. Placate the masses. Then back to business as usual.
Realistically, this makes no difference.
Denying Tesla the sale of a second car to a second person makes no difference because they already got the first sale of the first car? Pretty sure Tesla would prefer to sell two cars instead of one, and get the profit directly. There is an assumption here that the original buyer (who sold the car) went and bought another Tesla, which is in conflict with the other poster saying people should sell their Tesla (as it move away from the brand).
The only ones who will buy Teslas now are conservatives and they will buy new ‘just to show support for Musk’.
So, let them. It's still not getting Tesla what they ultimately want -- money -- long as the original owner doesn't buy a Tesla themselves.
Subscriptions might be an argument that Tesla could still profit, but then the question is where/how do they profit more from ownership?
The GMC Hummer EV Pickup Truck has entered the chat.
205-kWh capacity battery [three times the size in a crossover], still gets only 275 miles [2023 version].
Money can't buy you happiness. But it can damn well enable it.

2020: "I can't believe they fell for that. Oh, well, they chose better next time. Let's give them a chance."
2024: "...Yeah, they're just fucking dumb. Countless countries would have loved a chance to get rid of a shitstain like that without needing a violent revolt and the United States just... invited him back into office. Just... so fucking dumb."
May the Lord Flying Spaghetti Monster keep you and protect you, good sir.
Funny thing was they introduced the "filter out subreddits you don't like" feature just before all that... and I was against that feature. Echo chambers were already a thing, why introduce a feature that'd only make it worse? Then /r/the_dick came along and they were the only subreddit I tossed into that feature because you know what, a broken clock really is right twice a day.

"R-Word" is a ridiculous over correction. It demeans the reason why "N-Word" exists. We collectively said the N-Word is out of bounds because it's the very least anyone can do given historical events that continue to resonate to this very day (god dammit). Now the Internet thinks "R-Word" is a good idea. Why? The word is "Retard." It's okay to say retard. What's not okay is demeaning people by calling them any derogatory term, and blacklisting words thinking that will somehow correct the problem is the height of hubris -- as if there are no other suitable replacements. It's an attempt to take a shortcut to a societal problem. It is, in a word, retarded (you can look up the definition in a dictionary and see it's an appropriate usage).
