Tesla
This is a developing story, more details and updates are likely to come as the month progresses.
___________________________
"RealTesla" is a subreddit that discusses and shares negative/critical experiences regarding Tesla, its CEO Elon Musk, and Elon's other companies, describing itself as 'the home of Tesla discussion for those who haven't drank the Elon-Ade'. "TeslaLounge" and "TeslaMotors" on the other hand are the more 'official' Tesla subreddits and lean more towards supporting and praising the company along with sharing some issues with Tesla cars as well. RealTesla is known to frequently cross-post threads of car issues from the other Tesla subreddits.
One moderator of the two aforementioned 'pro-Tesla' subreddits, "rcnfive", has been aggressively defending Tesla and its controversial "Full Self Driving" feature, for example - - and calling that user a "troll" and deleting his post - for his car hitting a curb while on FSD.
In response to a comment about the Technology subreddit being anti-Tesla, a rather frustrated rcnfive has finally had enough:
And to a since-deleted reply to that above comment apparently criticizing rcnfive:
___________________________
Things start to take off when another user, "julp", RealTesla, unsurprisingly, to their sub. rcnfive responds in the original thread by, once again, , suggesting they should have taken control of the car sooner as it hit the curb. A RealTesla user "rideShareTechWorker" responds to the mod by stating this suggestion may not be possible given the car's fast speed at the time of the incident, but his comment is instead deleted and hidden and the account perma-banned from TeslaLounge. rcnfive locks julp's post as well. rideShareTechWorker his banned comment in RealTesla.
Users in the anti-Tesla sub react:

Another RealTesla user also got banned for effectively making the same comment to rcnfive's post:

"rcnfive" takes notice of RealTesla's involvement in the curb rash drama:
In response to a TeslaLounge user suggesting any images of Tesla curb rash to be banned to defend the legitimacy of FSD, rcnfive effectively declares war on RealTesla and other anti-Tesla subreddits and users by announcing currently-unknown changes to the pro-Tesla subreddits, :
Things will be changing. I have a working doc that the TL and TM mods can see what will be changing. A lot is coming and I will be pissing off a lot of people. I am going to be super blunt with the reddit users which we all know will not go well. The reddit hivemind will not like what will happen.
I will be downvoted to hell and back. Mark my words. The TeslaLounge will change for the better. Please give me a few more weeks and you will see a post maybe posts on what's going on. I want the old Lounge back. I want the TM comments to not be full of hate. I want dumb shit like [julp's curb rash] post to be gone from the lounge.
If anyone wants to help please keep an eye out for looking for more mods. Also use that report button if you don't want to be a mod. Reporting things helps a ton.
Have the first shots already been fired? Most RealTesla users in their thread are now saying they are all getting banned from pro-Tesla subs before even commenting in them:

in RealTesla hypothesize that "rcnfive" is actually Elon Musk, given that the mod's comments appear to have similar wording to Elon's tweets. But this has not been confirmed...yet.
More updates are likely to surface if rcnfive's "big changes" to the Tesla subs come to fruition in the following weeks as promised.

Does anybody else feel that /TeslaLounge is extremely ban-happy and over sensitive? I’ve been permanently banned from posting for posting this:
“You couldn't make this up, this kind of thing only occurs with one brand, because it's a personality cult. Nobody should treat paying customers like this. Luckily I knew full well most of the advertised features in EAP FSD exists currently and skipped those upgrades.”
For context, this was in response to another owner commenting about most of the features in EAP not working other than navigate on autopilot.
Are these people extremely fragile or is it just me? I happily post on all the other Tesla subs without this issue
I think I got an excellent deal as well. 2021 Model 3 LR AWD, 9800 miles and included FSD! $29,000. It's so clean and comfortable. I'm addicted to just sitting in it and going through all the options right now....lol. One negative is the right rear taillight has water and needs replaced. Other than that I love it so far! 😁
I checked my history and couldn’t find any TeslaLounge post.
This has me wondering, whether TeslaLounge is breaking Reddits rules, to me their behavior reeks of harassment. What’s the best way to report this to Reddit?
The Place To Post Images of Cybercucks Stuck In Their Cybertrucks. NOTE: THIS IS NOT A SUB FOR POSTING GENERAL CYBERTRUCK ISSUES OR TESLA ISSUES. IT IS PURELY FOR VIDEOS AND PICTURES OF THE CUCK TRUCK STUCK OR BROKEN DOWN. Seen a low polygon truck stuck in a situation that a real truck would cope with easily? Then this is the place to post it. Broken down ones are also permitted but top marks go to pictures of them stuck in an inch of mud or snow or sand or light gravel. You get the idea…
In the light of scores of preemptive bans of users, some questions regarding your highly unusual behavior have arisen.
It is believed that it’s healthy for Reddit as a platform to understand your reasoning for “researching” users and banning them on the off chance they say something you may disagree with at some point in the future.
This isn’t normal. Further, where will Reddit fall on this sort of preemptive suppression?
The hours spent in this yeansparently coordinated endeavor are not insignificant. This has raised legitimate broad suspicion that money, or other forms of remuneration are at play. Can you comprehensively deny this?
Given Reddit’s SEO, it fills the front page of Google often. Obviously Tesla won’t like many of the results. Can you confirm you act as standalone subreddits, and are not in contact with, nor coordinating with Tesla in any way?
The issue with the stance you’ve taken is that, simply put, it isn’t logical and it isn’t beneficial. In the absence of logic or benefit, there has to be another motivating factor.
We welcome your responses. Given you’ve admitted to monitoring this sub closely, you will have read this. So silence is of course an option, but would be one that most reasonable people would interpret as a tacit admission of guilt.
I'm curious if the bot banning is doing mass ban waves without cross checking.

The best part is that my comment could have been construed as being in support of Elon Musk on one specific point but apparently, they can't be bothered to read offending comments(?)
