Tesla Motors’ Devastating Design Problem

[TheWraith]

35. I didn't write any comments on the guy's blog.

But thanks for the ad hominem attack and shilling accusation, it shows you've got nothing else to work with.

This has nothing to do with the condition of the car from Tesla, it has to do with the use of the vehicle by the end user. "Running out of gas" is a completely false analogy. This isn't about "running out of gas" or normal use, this is about anywhere from 1 to 5 users who managed to, by way of complete ignorance about their vehicles, damaging them. If you can't be bothered to know even the first thing about the hundred thousand dollar car you just bought, you have no sympathy from me any more than I'd have sympathy for someone who went out and bought a BMW and drove it around for a year not knowing that it needed oil changes. And you know what? I'm sure you could find 5 cases of that over the last few years, too. And yet because they're an electric car company, Tesla takes the blame for stupid people doing stupid things to destroy their cars. And yeah, you can bet your ass there have been plenty of BMWs and the like which suffer catastrophic failures from idiot owners not maintaining them and thinking they're magic. It's not really that hard, actually.
