Let us not forget that the goddamn thing can brick if you don't put it in "car wash mode" before going through a car wash. π€¦ββοΈ
They're also literally death traps.
If the battery pops, starts burning?
You now have to scramble to find the extremely awkward hidden emergency manual door release.
Because the main door handles, both internal and external, are fucking fly by wire, they rely on the electronics, they're not directly mechanical.
Oh and the 'bullet proof glass' that makes up the windows... well its not very bullet proof, but it is significantly harder for a human to break than normal car glass.
Like this guy is unironically lucky he did not drown and also burn to death at the same time.
Yeah i don't get it. Like, if you can't even give your car a standard, everyday wash without it either bricking or rusting, and there are stories of people being fucking trapped in them due to electronics failures, why the ever loving fuck would you drive it into a goddamn lake you fucking troglodyte?!
I really don't think any car ever has been as rock solid of indicator of 'I am a mentally impaired douchebag with far more money than sense'.
Like... sure, pick your class of car that's just wildly unnecessary, pick your brand of car that's actually notorious for incredible maintenance costs, pick your model of car that's just plauged by recalls...
Cybertruck trumps everything as the ultimate poser douchebag vehicle.
Surely this didn't just happen. Surely the article is from checks image... hmm, yesterday you say. Well.... I, uh, yeah.
Maybe the guy was feeling trapped in his lease and saw an opportunity to break it and sue Tesla for false advertising?
Take that, libs
You don't actually wash your car every day do you?
Who suggests that?
The person I responded to, that's why I asked them.
No, that is not the l correct. An "everyday wash" is a simple/standard wash, not one you literally do every day.
Then they shouldn't call it that
This is basic language use and completely correct. Language is full of things that, taken literal, mean something else and there is no way to avoid that, given that language constantly changes.
I never said it was incorrect, just unclear.
Is this a joke? FFS....
I wish it was.
It's not necessarily permanent, but imagine not being able to use your car for at least five hours after a standard cleaning because you forgot to switch it into car wash mode.
That is just⦠special.
