this is the most devastating review of anything i've ever seen
Scary Whitta @garywhitta· 1d:
Imagine if your printer was also your car. That's what owning a Tesla is like.
How about the shit quality control (another ref) for starters, not to mention the broken promises (approaching false advertisement at this point). Oh and don't forget the battery fires (oh, but don't worry!! Phony Stark told us that only 0.01% of teslas have ever caught fire. Only 200+ times using goodcarbadcar, phew!!! )
Your singular anecdote about having no issues is certainly indicative of the actual situation, yep must just be bad headlines
Yep my uncle who recently retired from the auto industry, as an engineer, dished out some truly scathing critiques of Tesla, both the products and the company. They have a long, long way to go, and unfortunately one giant ego to interfere with everything. Kind of a joke really.
Granted he worked for Toyota, so the bar on quality was extremely high...
Even an econo-shitbox won't need repair for the first 2 years.
Just showing up to defend his own purchase and not doing it in a particularly convincing way lol
Do you think that every time a gas car gets on fire it makes it to the headlines? Have you heard about selection bias?
Just saying, ICE car fires aren't as dangerous as battery fires.
One burns faster, WAY hotter, and is harder to put out.
It burns much slower, not faster. That's why it can burn for so long. And it has to be put differently. It's like saying a grease fire is harder to put out because you can't pour water on it. You can easily put it out by covering it, tho, same as battery fires.
Ignites faster, is what I meant.
Also not many fire stations have the ability to put out electrical fires, so yes, it's harder to put out.
Ignites faster? A cigarette or just a static spark can Ignite gas fumes, you need to do pretty catastrophic damage to a pack for it to Ignite...
... Are you purposely being dense?
Light an ICE and EV vehicle on fire. See which one you can sit in the drivers seat longer for.
EV, because it burns slower
Yeah. .01% seems small, but that means that out of every 10,000 Teslas sold, one of them has already caught fire. That's a ridiculously huge number
