    He…he can’t help you. He’s the nepo baby of people who owned blood mines. He doesn’t actually know anything useful. Or care about you.

      Mentioning this on Twitter might bring it to his attention and since this is bad PR, he might expedite the complaint so that it gets fixed sooner. That’s probably the thinking here. I’ve seen it happen with companies before

        More accurately, he’d ban you outright for daring to “lie” about his products having flaws

        The worst bug I had on my car had the onboard computer not starting, and the screen remaining black. It meant I had: no GPS, no music, no backup camera, and no parking sensor.

        But apart from that, the car was driving perfectly normal, and all the other features were working as expected.

              i never experienced an ecu bug before.

              OK, that’s a sample size of one, not very useful. Most Tesla owners never experienced an ECU bug either. I’ve never had an ECU bug in any of my own cars, but last year I had a rental car from Opel for a few months while my car was waiting for a replacement transmission to get shipped, and in the few months I had it I experienced an ECU bug once, where the car refused to be put into gear, and the only way to fix it was to disconnect the 12v battery and reattach it

              It’s a fact that modern cars get more complicated electronics every year, so ECU bugs leaving you stranded will get more common every year also

      I mean the guy too, the first logo on his stupidly pretentious website on where he’s been “featured” is fox news. Glad to see his car shut down on him straight off the lot

    Elon deffo banned him 🤣🤣🤣

    On a real tho bare people hating on Tesla once Elon got into politics, a lot of those people praising Tesla before that. EVs were always a shit idea in general, and he’s been a fraud since day 1. There’s more to life than just politics.

    I guarantee you if he supported Obama’s campain a lot of you sheep would still meatride Elon like all of Trump’s cult members are.

    21 miles and screen absolutely covered in dust. These things must be sitting for ages and not selling. Not even a wipe down from the Tesla store.

      If you look closely at the second image, it looks like it still has the peelies on it. Those things are dust magnets.

      As with most electronics, the most likely times for failure are shortly after manufacture and years later after use. Failures in the middle are generally rare, hence the warranty.

      There are components where quality testing can only give a pass/fail so there’s no way to know that it barely passed until it fails shortly after.

      This isn’t unique to Tesla, or even EVs. This happens with nearly all electronics. Many things can be tested more thoroughly and have lower quality limits set above what’s actually required, but some stuff just can’t be tested like that ahead of time.

      And there’s always just real life. They could have driven it home and parked near to a packrat who decided that a wiring harness looked like a good snack overnight. The car can’t tell that a rat ate the wiring, it will just give generic errors for whatever isn’t working right. Is that likely? No, but it is possible, and not something we would be able to tell from screenshots of the generic error screen telling the driver to schedule service.

      The first image says the frunk is open. I’d imagine that would trigger a pull the fuck over message
