An engineer at tesla said this was a cosmetic issue and to stop complaining.

Also some excellent customer service for a $100,000 vehicle,

It is a cult.

Oh it is real.

That is insulting to parade floats.

Some features require you to use a USB drive (for example, Dashcam, Sentry Mode and Track Mode, if equipped,) that meet these requirements:

I am pretty sure that that is the melted inside.

Hey! That is a massive insult to the build quality of the green car!

To be fair, if I spent 60% of a house on such a useless vehicle, then I would probably need a lot of support too.

(In case the link expires, it links to a real estate listing costing 243,500 CAD or 171,000 USD. Meaning that the Swastdumpster would cost 58.4% of a rather nice house located here)

how tf are these things insurable

That’s the neat part, they aren’t.

or even in compliance with federal motor vehicle safety standards?

Because American standards only focus on the safety of those inside the vehicle, they also assume that the manufacturers make the frame out of something at least a little stronger than wet tissue paper.

They always do.

At this point, people really should know better.

People should have known better before the Swastidumpster started fulfilling orders.

Amazing, Got so far and then realized their mistake at the last moment.

This absolutely deserves it’s own post.

How harsh are the penalties for using your phone while driving over there?

Very very light.

9. What is the fine for distracted driving? The fine is $172 for this offence. This amount includes a fine of $150 plus the 15 percent victims’ surcharge. This fine is in keeping with the fines for other traffic violations.
10. Are there demerit points for this offence? No. It is felt that the dollar fine will encourage drivers to focus on driving. Drivers that exhibit what is deemed to be more serious or risky behaviors could be charged with ‘driving carelessly’ under the Traffic Safety Act. The penalty for the existing ‘driving carelessly’ offence carries six demerit points and a fine of $402. If a driver does commit a moving violation while engaged in one of these activities, or any other deemed as a distraction, they could receive two tickets - one for distracted driving, and one for the moving violation.

Demerit points

(I am not American, but I have had the displeasure of seeing one up here)

I’ve hauled more with my bike.

or cargo bicycle

I have hauled way more in my cargo bike.

Oh wholeheartedly agree, I live in Alberta and the number of pavement princesses that have effectively vestigial beds here is absolutely ridiculous. I have even seen quite a few of these very normal limousines here:

It looks even more ridiculous in person, nowhere close to the one Swastidumpster I have had the misfortune of seeing, but still ridiculous.

Also:

The Kei truck has the longer bed.

It is not a flex to carry less than I can on my cargo bike.

That’s the Swastidumpster in a nutshell.

The brakes completely disable the motor, that is when the brakes work.
