I find his suffering amusing.
i mean. Seriously. who shells out that kinda dough for the downpayment on a vehicle that wasn’t even in production, by a company as shitty and inexperienced in truck-making as Tesla; whose car line has (almost) always been plagued by shitty QC… ???
Like I don’t know that I’d worry too much about buying a car- even a new model-design- from a reputable car maker (Toyota, Honda. Subaru. you know people who have… a certain kind of reputation…)
The truck is so ridiculously over engineered it makes the Teslas seem pragmatic. it’s so heavy that it can’t even take a normal off road loading, or it’s suspension craps out. it can’t go off road, can’t hill climb. the truck-bed in the back is practically inaccessible. The thing was designed for asthetics- and those asthetics have more in common with a 5 yo’s conception drawn in crayon on the back of a napkin than an actual vehicle; and the form-over-function approach has severely crippled the thing.
Oh. and they didn’t even give it a clear coat. so. you know. that overpriced scrap metal is going to rust.
(actually, I’m a bit surprised scrappers are stripping it already…)
And perfectly reasonable in this case.

I feel like the Homer-car would probably be better.
If anyone seen this and still think they NEED to preorder this crap, they deserve to get musked.
This is fucked up, you know that’s right? This person didn’t hurt or intend to hurt anyone, they just wanted a vehicle.
And no one did get hurt.
But he’s still an idiot who made 2 very large purchases of the same product without doing any research on the quality of the vehicles.
Even with reputable car makers it’s always better to wait until they’re a few years in so they’ve worked out the worst issues.
Buying a car before it’s even finished is really only a thing you do with exclusive supercars, and in that market you know you’re going to spend a fortune maintaining the car going in.
sure.
but it’s not like you’re going to lose a finger trying to close the door. Or, get the accelerator pedal stuck to the floor… or like, virtually any of the issues that have plagued the
adultover-grown-kid-version PowaWheels.
