The guy writing this is obviously a bit of a crank, but the factual statements made here are pretty interesting if true, seemed worth a look for the HN crowd.
I found it fairly unreadable, but I made the mistake of clicking some of his hyperlinks and seeing that it's a pile of angry ranting for years on end. Reminds me of the Tesla short reports that used to provide the stock trading space.

The point about repairability is ripe for discussion though, although it's quite well known with Teslas. It's a wider trend as well, with contributing factors from other individual companies like Lucid and Rivian, and also a new technologies like megacasting, and design choices like centerpiece (and ultra expensive) headlight arrays. The knock on effects like rising insurance costs are also significant.

"Hundreds" as opposed to thousands sold over the years. This guy has never been in an accident with his auto ?

I do not care for Musk like the next guy, but if the repair cost exceeds the market value of the auto is junked.
