Lol. Lmao, even.

You’re much better off selling the fucking thing at that point instead of continuing to put the lives of you and your passengers at risk in a death trap. this-is-fine

  • this is the kind of thing that you need when you have built the vehicle yourself from an $800 kit that is not allowed on public roads… it should not be a recognizable phenomenon on a $80,000 luxury vehicle.

    The fucking zip tie holding a keyring to the steel cable…

    As if the Tesla situation couldn’t get dumber, the owners really bring it home.

    Also… do you think these people tell their passengers about it whenever they get into the car? Or are the owners assuming they will have the capacity to explain it in the moment of the crash/fire?

      I can just imagine a Tesla owner inviting a friend or family member to be a passenger, just so they can brag about the car while they drive on the interstate, and then casually mentioning the DIY rip cords, making the passenger instantly regret that they didn’t set up a will before they got in.

      We’ve reached the point where there are a few decent options in the space, Lucid has a thing where they give you a huge rebate if you trade in a Tesla while buying one of theirs which is funny.

    Elon explaining his Super villain Ozymandias plot:

    And with this software update, all the Teslas in the world will lock themselves, incinerating the occupants inside and establishing a world free of chuds!

    Don’t the cars have a secondary release built in for if the powered opening doesn’t work? Or is it just every single other car with power doors that has that and not Teslas?
