I think I finally reached my breaking point with reddit (about time). Earlier this month the humorless admins of /r/teslamotors banned me for posting a video of my custom charge port cover. A day or so later I mistakenly posted on the sub using my secondary account. That’s on me. The /r/teslamotors admins gave me a permaban and reddit gave me 7 day site ban. I can take my lumps so whatever.

However, apparently I commented today on /r/teslamotors using the account that received the permaban. Dumbass reddit gave me another 7 day site ban for ban evasion. WTF? Either a software bug allowed me to comment or /r/teslamotors lifted my ban for some reason.

Neither of those constitute ban evasion IMHO. I’m also tired of using old.reddit.com in phone browser since they killed apis.

        I’m not, so I guess I’ll contribute to evening that population out now that I’m here.

      It’s not like there aren’t vocal anti-Elon/Tesla/EV people on reddit. I wanted an EV and didn’t consider any other vehicle because of the range and charging network. My car is almost 5 years old and we’ll see what’s out there in another 5-10 years.

        Yeah, I saw that on Reddit too. It just seems like here there’s a lot of people who jump on anyone for even wanting an EV here. A lot of folks think that bikes and public transportation are viable solutions for everyone’s daily needs. It feels like a lot of people here think that since EVs aren’t a perfect solution, that we shouldn’t consider them at all.

          I have an ebike too but that doesn’t get me everywhere. EV works great for me. Almost 5 years old, over 90k miles and no complaints to speak of. Thanks for the heads up.
