In the slomo at 6:30ish, can anyone more versed explain what was happening? It looked like the fuses were all lit but nothing happened, then some flame ball from the left came and everything just disappeared. Just curious of the mechanics of that.
Arguably buying Tesla is the worst thing you can do for environmental sustainability if you have to ask permission from a car company to replace a defective battery they made after only 1,500km then not get any warranty on it.
The right to repair implications alone are staggering. And the insinuation that someone doesn't care about the environment because they refuse to subscribe to this new trend of limiting consumer rights and requiring subscription services for the "right" to operate a product you already own comes off like a shill.
You can virtue signal in your Tesla that you'll have to pay a monthly fee to use soon enough. Don't expect any sympathy from me when AWS goes down and the DRM in your car is willing to let you freeze to death in the cold because your car won't move. Or Tesla decides to suspend your account because you got your tires replaced at an unauthorized shop.
While you overdo it a bit, I can only agree. Every story of a company making replacements unnecessarily difficult and costly or forcing subscription 'services' for what should be regular features narrows for me the field of possible EVs to buy.
We plan to get are first EV. This and other stories are giving me serious doubts about buying a Model Y. My heart wants to go for the Telsa, but my pragmatic head is saying stay away and go for the Audi E-Tron.
