Tesla recalls 120,000 vehicles over potentially faulty doors that could open in a crash::Tesla is recalling Tesla Model S luxury sedans and Model X SUVs manufactured in 2022 and 2023 due to the vehicles’ failure to comply with U.S. government regulations.
Even ignoring bizarre stuff like this, it’s priced like a Jaguar and has the build quality of a Yugo. I say keep sharpening.
Well, I wouldn’t buy one…
That’s a walk the other way issue not a pitchfork issue.
I disagree. It’s tantamount to fraud and you better believe people have died because of it.
People have died because of the price gouging? Im no musk fan boy but this echo chamber of nonsense with you people just makes this community seem completely ridiculous. Car companies have been selling crap with high price tags since cars were a thing.
No, because of the bad build quality, obviously.
For some reason, “fast, shoddily built and weighs two metric tons” isn’t great for avoiding faults that sometimes lead to fatalities.
Maybe think for a second more before you start ranting about someone else being ridiculous 🙄
The comment was bout the price / quality differential. Anyway, what data are you looking at that the build quality affects safety? I have only seen high safety ratings and build quality being about panel lines and interior material complaints etc, not safety.
For example, below is the kind of welding that passes muster at Tesla. The Tesla quality assurance as instituted by Musk himself is “don’t. It makes the wait lists shrink more slowly”.
Would you feel safe accelerating 0-60 in under 4 seconds in two tons of badly assembled steel? I sure wouldn’t!
Well, I’m more of a math and data kind of guy. I don’t drive a Tesla and likely never will but Tesla has exceeded safety test rankings beyond the vast majority of other manufacturers and has received numerous top accolades from very reputable safety sources. They may skimp on cosmetic quality, but their track record does not suggest they have on safety. But say what you want, my point here is that this is an echo chamber of nonsense and you will surely find the support you crave here.
Those were all in the beginning when they were new and trying to impress the world. To say standards have slipped since then is the understatement of the century.
Never trust a guy who says “I’m not a fan boy but” and then repeatedly brushes all criticism of what he’s pretending not to fanboy over as “echo chamber nonsense”. 😂
Especially not after him repeating PR talking points almost word for word for what would have been at least two paragraphs with better formatting 🙄
And the 0-60 of a Koenigsegg at 1/20 the price, but also electric and potentially economical to drive.

A Koeniggsegg handles much better and is well-built, though. It’s meant for the track and it does that well.
In contrast, a Tesla Model S is an unnecessarily quick and overpriced family car with a dubious safety record due in part to having the build quality of a Yugo.
