      this bot is a moderator and iirc pulls posts directly from reddit. it might be a Chinese bot that posted it in Reddit, but not on Lemmy.

          I mean they sell a shit-ton of cars, so I don’t think it’s that surprising. Telsa also gets posted like crazy. Less bots, and more people who are excessively attached to the brand probably.

          They’re probably trying to make a push into the US market. I agree the number of posts about them over the last week or two has been ridiculous but they’re probably spamming and astroturfing the shit out of reddit which the bot is picking up on.
