    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.

      He’s also the grandson of a man who tried to overthrow democracy in Canada and was forced to flee.

      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

        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

        My car is built in 2023 (2016 model) and has none of those “features”. The most high tech thing is a USB port.

          Ah, so no ECU? No RFID engine interlock? No braking assist or lane keep?

          I highly doubt it. Post your model. You’re 1 software bug away from a dead car.

            You might be right but how common are those? Ive yet to have a car breakdown over an ECU bug/malfunction but its a small sample size.

              Not that common, I think most places try to flash the ECU and if that doesn’t work they chuck it. I would not be surprised if a lot of software bugs get resolved as a bad ECU.

              Let’s see here.

              ECU - that has a bug and your dead in the water

              Push to start - bug in that system, and you’re stuck.

              Hill Hold - have a software glitch there and your brake is jammed on.

              Sorry bub, there are multiple system on your car where a software glitch will stop it from driving.

                Every car has an ECU, those are pretty much tried and tested at this point. Bugs are rare.

                I don’t have push to start.

                I don’t have hill hold.

                Like I said, the most advanced feature of my car is a USB charger.

    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.

        I’d expect the dealership to give it a quick detail before letting the customer drive away, even used car dealerships do that. But I guess when we’re talking about Tesla all bets are off.

        Still, the bottom corner of the film is peeling. Could have been sitting on a lot for a long time, but peeling like that after only a few test drives at most?

              Yeah, with the lack of quality and attention to detail and likelihood to trap you in and burn you alive if you crash it goes horrifyingly fast. Not any faster than your average luxury car, but more deadly

                I mean im no apologyst and i hate the guy as much as anybody, but its significantly faster than your average ice luxury car. I would never buy a tesla now, but i also am not a fan of skewing the facts to fit a narrative. The cars were shit in the beginning and are much better now. Pretty, well equipped and fast. But dont buy any of them, fuck tesla. And fuck elon especially.

                  They accelerate faster. But they lack the top speed of a lot of more pedestrian cars.
