The owner of a $155,000 Tesla Model S Plaid told the Elon Musk-focused outlet Teslarati that he received a call that any car owner would dread just days after dropping off his vehicle for service in Plano, Texas.
The man, identified only as Jeff, said he left his car at the Tesla Service Center in Plano on Aug. 24 and was contacted by the service center on Aug. 30.
According to the report, the Tesla employee said four words every car owner dreads: “We have some bad news.” Then he added, “Your car was totaled.”
Jeff, understandably, couldn’t believe what he was hearing. “I thought it was a joke,” he told Teslarati.
“I found out very soon it was not a joke.”
Jeff said that when he arrived at the service center the next day, he was greeted by his black Model S Plaid. The passenger rear door had been crushed inward, and its airbags were deployed.

Nah, to an EV owner, the four worst words you can hear are “Your battery is kaput.”
That was 5 words, not 4...
FTA: “‘I just got a call from Tesla, a clone of my Model S Plaid is on the truck heading for Texas as I text you today.’”
C'mon man!
Nevermind.. I guess they were talking about the second part of the conversation.
“According to the report, the Tesla employee said four words every car owner dreads: “We have some bad news.”
We have some bad news.......that’s FIVE words.......must be that NEW math......SMH
I was anticipating the four words to be: “Your Tesla Caught Fire”.
They gave him a new car exactly like he had.
You really can’t ask for more than that.
He chose... poorly.
I would respond with a few words of my own...."You owe me a new car".
” We have some bad news. Your car is totaled.” = 9
LOL. That’s what I thought too.
“Your car was totaled” is 4 words.
“Nah, to an EV owner, the four worst words you can hear are “Your battery is kaput.””
Which almost never happens.
What an ugly messy pile of clickbait and waste that website is!
P.O.S.
Your car just burned!
Your car is toast!
Your ride’s in smoke!
Bring a trailer, fast!
No matter what business you are in there are going to acccidents and mistakes. The keys are: How many, and how does the company respond.
As far as responding, looks like Tesla is owning up the what happened.
I missed it myself.....I still blame the way it was written.
