Rules
1
POSTS MUST BE ABOUT TESLA, EV, OR AV
POSTS MUST BE ABOUT TESLA, EV, OR AV
Posts, both text and link, must relate to Tesla or the EV or AV market space in which they compete. Posts about the automotive industry in general must be accompanied by a comment from OP explaining how it relates to Tesla.
2
META POSTS MUST BE PRE-APPROVED
META POSTS MUST BE PRE-APPROVED
Meta posts discussing the subreddit itself need to be pre-approved by a Moderator, and will be flaired as such.
3
SHITPOSTS ARE LIMITED AND MUST BE FLAIRED
SHITPOSTS ARE LIMITED AND MUST BE FLAIRED
Any 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 a Shitpost, or it will be removed. The moderation team will curate Shitposts so that no more than a few are on the front page at a given time. This restriction will be relaxed on the weekends for - you guessed it - Shitpost Saturday and Shitpost Sunday.

NO ELON WORSHIP
NO ELON WORSHIP
No mindless, pro-Elon "Tesla will rule the world" fandom. 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. But gushing over the greatness of Elon, isn't allowed - Reddit has enough of it already.
5
ALL LINKS MUST INCLUDE THE ORIGINAL TITLE OF THE CONTENT
ALL LINKS MUST INCLUDE THE ORIGINAL TITLE OF THE CONTENT
ALL LINKS MUST INCLUDE THE ORIGINAL TITLE OF THE CONTENT - even crossposts within Reddit must not change the original title. Titles that are (for some reason) in all CAPS can be de-capitalized to avoid eye trauma.
Links to tweets must be the text of the tweet itself (or a truncated version thereof).
Links to forum posts must also contain the text of the forum post headline. If there is no headline, the top (OP) post must be quoted in the link title.
No self-posts with only links.
6
SITES BEHIND PAYWALLS MUST HAVE TEXT INCLUDED
SITES BEHIND PAYWALLS MUST HAVE TEXT INCLUDED
Any link to content behind a paywall (including Seeking Alpha) must have the entire text of the article included in the comments. Failure to do so will have the post removed.
Articles from restricted sites must be cleared with moderators in advance of posting.
Current restricted sites :
-
Zero Hedge
7
DON'T BE AN ASSHOLE
DON'T BE AN ASSHOLE
The following behaviors in the comment section will lead to warnings/bans, and removal of comments :
-
excessively criticizing users, moderators, or r/RealTesla. Constructive comments should far outnumber attacks on others
-
any comment made that implies or presumes that a given user or the sub in general is long/short TSLA stock; generic references to "bulls" and "bears" is ok.
-
using the word FUD non-ironically. It's tired and meaningless.

Only informational screen captures (order pages, etc) can be posted as non-Shitpost images.
