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

      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
