    Doesn’t it say something about how often Teslas catch fire that a dozen cars burned and their response is “arson suspected”?

      The French really do love to set things on fire though. It’s part of their national identity.

    I’m so tired of peach Mussolini and his lackey Mush that I want Tesla to burn. I would never encourage people to do it, but I get it.

    All the nazi and fascistic shit has consequences.

      I do feel bad for people who bought Tesla EVs a few years ago, before mask-off Elon.

        Before or after he called someone a pedophile for not showing deference to his idiotic cave rescue idea? He’s been publicly questionable since at least 2018.

          I guess it depends on how long you keep a car, personally I usually go for a decade.

          I don’t have a Tesla though, just a ‘little’ Skoda Yeti :)

            I’ve had my car for 15 years. Also a Yeti, I’m Ship of Theseusing it to the end times. It had new tires, new suspension, new fan belt, new battery, new rear wiper motor, new windscreen, and a new wiring harness.

            It’s also been driven into a tree and brick wall on two separate occasions (not by me). And the radio has never worked.

            It’s rather like an unreliable tank, It can plow through anything as long as you throw money at it afterwards.

        I can see your point. Buyer’s remorse is real. Although, the cyber truck is an especially easy target because of its high price, low quality, and poor styling.

          I saw one a few months ago and I don’t think any two panels were square with the neighboring panel. They were all at least four or five mm out of alignment.

          So it’s no surprise that water gets in and they catch fire, it’s not really a solid object, as much as a collection of loosely associated pieces.

    Now this is more likely to get some jury nullification going. Even more so if you can cast doubt on if it really was the suspect.

    I wholeheartedly considered anyone who damages anything belonging to either Muskrat or Turnip, including their bodies, to be a global hero.

      No. Not in the slightest. All you did was give them insurance write off.

      Cars staying with no one buying them, THAT hurts Tesla. Musk? Nah, he’s checked out since Teslas and EVs aren’t exactly something right gives tow shits about… At least until he needs another payout, but that’s not why he became a president of USA for! Infinite money.

      As far as I know, Tesla owns all of their showrooms and service centers. Sort of a point of contention between them and other American automakers that they don’t use the traditional dealership model.
