All-out war between fanbois and the hate crew in 3...2...1? I wish there were a forum were decent discussion about Tesla would still be possible but wherever (HN, Reddit, Ars Technica, ...) you look, it always ends the same way. Any recommendations, maybe?

Arse Technica is a vortex of hate, purposely mind you. Twitter and Reddit are good as long as you use the Mute/block buttons to weed out the crap from both sides.

It’s better to not read them. I usually try to debate and clarify to people who clearly don’t know what they are talking about how the actual cars work and etc., but the amount of bull crap that haters post in articles like this is so ridiculous that it isn’t even worth reading the comments. They are still stuck hating the CEO, regardless of the company’s achievements, so it is useless to try to debate.

  The problem is that you do not know on first sight if they are just misguided or actually malicious. I remember a few names of the worst offenders that I just ignore now but it sucks anyways. Edit: Using Stylus, the following solution is possible to highlight the names of selected people (the list needs to be updated when you want to add someone): a[href$="username1"], a[href$="username2"], ... { color: darkred !important; } Hiding the sub-thread in a similarly easy way is not possible though, due to the nature of the tree.

A forum where this is possible would be highly exclusionary, nothing like Ars Technica or Reddit or HN. Those forums handle simple disagreements in a decent, typical way but there is no way to have a balanced, thoughtful discussion with cultists. Elon Musk has cultists.
