...then what else hasn't he adequately tested? What problems lurk under the covers in the future for Tesla owners?
The best way to thaw the door handles on a Tesla is to pee on them.
Harder for a girl.
Maybe if they stood on a box.
Their efforts to prevent global warming by driving electric cars are starting to pay off!
I’ve known girls who can pee and write their name in the snow.
They used a stick to write their name, but still, that’s like multitasking.
Here’s something I don’t have to worry about.
I guess the designers actually believed their own global warming crap.
Ha!
Elon Musk is not a Car Guy or Manufacturing guy. I’ve yet to see any Tesla that has body panels fit as well as a Chevy Cruz.
Electric cars are ego toys. Fine for those who want them. It’s their money, as long as the cars are not subsidized by the government. But the rest of us must live in the real world.
I don’t object to electric cars per se.
I object to the virtue signaling their owners/drivers project.
HEre in the snowy and cold northeast where they spread salt by the ton, I question the utility of owning such a vehicle. You get stuck in traffic because of an accident in the snow and you’re draining the battery just to keep warm. When said salt corrodes your electrical contacts and your car won’t drive, charge, or move you’ve got an expensive bill to make it road worthy again.
Tesla is based in southern California, where it rarely gets cold.
Typical California design for California.
“If Elon Musk didn’t do adequate cold-weather testing of his cherished, hyped, ego-trip project...then what else hasn’t he adequately tested? What problems lurk under the covers in the future for Tesla owners?”
Oh PLEASE - what car operates PERFECTLY in cold weather. OBVIOUSLY if these people wanted a reliable car, they would not have bought a Tesla.
Dear Ronak Patel.
Just hook up the on board wind mill solar panel array and you should be just fine.
Regards
Elon
Hard to believe a left coaster could be so out of touch.
Tesla is NorCal. SpaceX is SoCal.
“Andrea Falcone, a software engineer in Boston, tweeted a picture of her frozen handle”
We’ve all had to deal with door handles that were less-than-thawed. The REAL QUESTION is why is this woman attacking Tesla over a problem that all cars have? Is she, perhaps, trying to cash-in?
Look, peasants, at how smart and everything I am. Clearly better than you!
Teslas in Ill-Annoy have had to get a different kind of transponder for the tollways. The stock iPass does not do well on the dash/windshield, and a differnt kind is mounted in the grille.
I think the BOTTOM LINE is that some people are simply not comfortable with ‘technology’ - and is that really Tesla’s fault?
