But the car did not catch on fire, which is a win. How long will his Tesla be off the road? Waiting for repair parts etc?

VICTORY!

Small damage can total evs if the battery pack is jostled enough so there is that :)

And how much will it cost? I’ve read that they are crazy expensive to repair.

‘accidentally lifted up from his seat.’

I’m guessing he leaned over to let one rip....

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Although cars are typically left in neutral while going through the carwash, the outlet alleged that Dillon's was not, after he 'accidentally lifted up from his seat.'

Ok, I am confused.

How does "accidentally lifting up from your seat" knock your car out of neutral?

And what does "accidentally lifting up from your seat" even mean?

Taking your hands of the steering wheel can cause adverse results as well, I’ve heard. Saw this on the internet, “No, of course not. Actually, you only need to keep your hands on the wheel in a Tesla if you want the car to continue moving forward.”

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Despite causing 'minimal' damage, an insider revealed that 'at least one person complained of discomfort, so law enforcement was called to take an accident report.'

I was always told to get an accident report or else your insurance company could try to deny the claim.

I see what you did there!

“Dillon is best known for portraying Johnny ‘Drama’ Chase on HBO’s hit series Entourage”

I guess this little reporter isn’t old enough to remember the movie Platoon which Dillon had a key part in....or smart enough to do proper research.....the movie won multiple academy awards and I would guess is much more influential than some trash in hbo.

I have never listened to his podcast. I dont think I have ever listened to any podcast for that matter. I didnt ‘see what you did there’ but I googled and now I get it. I guess thats what FR is good for, expanding our knowledge base even if only trivially. :)

“accidentally” — LOL. Sure.

[P.O.E.]

One cheek sneak

[ProtectOurFreedom]

You are obviously not qualified to be a journalist or a reporter!

[Still Thinking]

Prolly broke the seal on the battery and let in a teaspoon of water so it’s a $75K fix or whatever, like the guys in France that went over a bump on a rainy day.

“...this sparked a fender bender”

“Sparked” is the very LAST thing you want to happen in a Tesla!
