Tesla forums awash with spam as mods take an unscheduled holiday

Owners and fans of Tesla cars seeking support on the company's forums are instead being offered love in all the wrong places. "Where's the webmaster?" was the plaintive cry from user Larry as the Tesla community was hijacked last night by spammers selling a variety of products likely not approved by CEO Elon Musk.

Why? That looks appropriate

Thank you for this most useful information.

May I interest you in some herbal supplements while we are here and I am reconfiguring P3nizP1llChimp?

[Anonymous South African Coward]

good, will give those spammers some other place to peddle their pills then, and leave the rest of us alone.

While in auto-drive mode

At last, we can gladly appreciate the internet at its best while the car has been set to self-driving mode and the 60" windshield monitor is spewing ads and pr0n.

Are we sure...

It used to be people buying sports cars were compensating for extremely small manhoods. Does the same apply to battery operated pleasure devices?

[Anonymous Coward]

Re: That sandwich is an abomination...

McDonald's unleashed a video once of how they film the burgers for their ads. One of the tricks was that you have to deliberately misstuff it in order to display all the yummy goodness inside. Given the look of the picture, the same technique seems to be at play.

Ponzi Event Horizon approaching !

[James Hughes 1]

Bloody hell, there's always one.

Not a ponzi scheme.

the company of other battery-powered buddies

Sounds to me like the new advertisement program at Tesla successfully targeted everyone hanging out with Bob*. A **job well done!

*BOB = Battery Operated Boyfriend

With anything related to Musk, I recommend that you choose the red pill.
