Just send them all to the scrap yard, fucking heaps of junk.
Even the melted ones? 😄
Between this and the door falling off a Boeing airplane, not so sure we should be all hot to make everything in 'merica 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Worth noting that both of these companies have essentially blank checks from the government and use it as a funnel for taxpayers to shareholders who then dont pay taxes. It’s a Ponzi scheme that just happens to make airplanes and shit people actually need.
But are too scared to nationalize.
Boeing (and McDonnell Douglas before them) actually made good planes when engineers ran the show. Then, the finance bros took over.
Tesla factories are like Amazon warehouses.
It’s 18 months old and falling apart, literally.
I wonder if those protesters vandalizing Teslas know this is their big opportunity? Insurance companies insuring auto shops are fewer in number and more selective than those serving the general population. If these trucks were damaged while waiting for repairs, we might witness insurance companies altogether dropping coverage for shops. Without insurance these places will find it difficult to continue existing.
I have questions about what auto shops you think are doing recalls because it’s only Tesla’s service centers are going to be legally allowed to perform the recall (that’s how it works for every automaker). So it’s the same place they’re already going to protest (in most cases) and the same insurance. Regardless, the recall isn’t an “insurance thing per se” because Tesla the company is the insurance in this case. They will be footing to bill for any and all repairs done under recall. And more than likely the recalled vehicles won’t be sitting around the shop or lot waiting for parts because it’s up to consumers who will absolutely take their vehicle and leave if parts aren’t in stock.
It might be different with Tesla but most dealerships are independent from the company manufacturing the vehicles. Dealerships typically also run the service shop and have to carry their own insurance.
Tesla is different. They don’t have franchises. They haven’t granted them anywhere. They run what’s called a Direct to Consumer Business Model. That means they own and operate their own service centers and Galleries/Showrooms. That means it’s just Tesla Motors operating everything and carrying the insurance etc.
They do have approved third party body shops. Also mobile service vans. Not sure if this can be done via mobile service but in the past they’ve done things like computer upgrades.
Every dealer pretty much uses third party body shops. But this doesn’t require a body shop. It’ll more than likely be performed by a Tesla automotive technician at a Tesla service center when parts become available.

Could this be the worst designed car ever made? I really wish we could have a Top Gear episode on it.
James did a test drive and he seemed to kind of like it, it was on drive tribe I think.
I’m pretty sure it was on his Gin channel
Yes actually, I do recall him making a plug about his gin now that you mention it! Thank you!
Yep. He wasn’t really reviewing the nuts and bolts, just the drive experience. I didn’t get the impression he got a ton of time with it and only spent an afternoon puttering around. It felt below his standard honestly for thoroughness.
Top Gear itself was not kind to the Tesla Roadster when Clarkson reviewed it back in 2008 or whatever it was, though.
I would probably like it too if i didn’t have to pay for it and keep it and maintain it. These cars aren’t on the streets anymore in 10 years. They will never be street legal in a non shit hole country
I mean, how many times have they recalled these same, like, 5,000 trucks? This is at least the third massive recall.
Whislindiesel made short work of one of these cars, absolutely glorious
Panels on that shit are glued together, so I guess they got ahold of stronger glue.
I guess they got ahold of stronger glue.
Only because they wanted to huff it. The panel thing was just a coincidence.
Elmer’s glue mixed with Ketamine
That’s because Tesla is a data collection company, not a car manufacturer 😂
So what i gather is there’s probably a readily available solvent to dissolve the glue and make any Swasticar Wankpanzer fall the fuck apart?
You can step up the scale of solvent molecular weights until you find one that gives the desired result, but I’m going to conjecture that regular old acetone will probably be quite sufficient.
Neat. On a serious note, i do not personally recommend doing this; that shit flying off on a highway could kill somebody.
Sam: I hope there was nobody on that bus.
Max: Nobody we know, at least.
It’s called cold weather.
So, liberal use of dry ice FTW?
why would the tesla engineers commit terrorism like this
Based Tesla makes a car that vandalizes itself
Amazing. :)
Cheap piece of junk
Is this a sketch or a real interview?
Edit. It’s a sketch. I was hoping there was a real politician like that lol
You’re wishing for more idiots in this day and age?
I’m not saying it wasn’t safe, it just wasn’t as safe as the other ones lololol thanks for this
How do I know exactly what video that is without a preview and before clicking the link? 😂🤣
Because the front fell off.
I’d like to say, that’s not typical.
Also, apparently the back fell off too…

What a fucking literal rolling dumpster 🤦♂️
Max tongue weight for a Cybertruck is 1100 lbs. They put almost ten times on it before it broke. It was fun, but it’s not a valid test.
Incorrect, their listed maximum towing capacity is indeed stated to be 11,000 pounds (4,990 kilograms)
Feel free to check for yourself…
Tongue weight and towing capacity are two different things.
