"We need to cut costs! Why are we spending extra to drill these stupid holes all over the vehicle?"

"Sir, that's a drain h—"

"Yeah, I don't care what they are, I want them gone, or you're fired."

The problem is you aren’t thinking like a billionaire. When your Nazi truck catches on fire when it rains and kills your customer, the company gets to sell a new Nazi truck to your customer’s child. That doubles every sale and potentially triples once the grandchildren are of driving age.

Jesus Fuck.

I had to look it up.

It actually does void the warranty.

So not only are you not allowed to sell them (your own property) within the first year of buying one. But you also can't take it through a carwash?

And you have to pay $80k starting for one?

Man, I already thought the people who owned them were dumb. But holy fuck. Why would you do that to yourself?

What about if it rains. Or like…you clean it yourself??

Hanlon's razor says this is stupidity, but I love the thought of a malicious engineer.

Is the entire frame just cast aluminum!? It legitimately looks like he had his rocket engineers build this one.

You can't get more disparate inspection/maintenance schedules than aerospace vs. Automotive.

Not enough Jpeg ! I can kind of make out part of the image.

I'm sorry, I'm normally on your side on this issue but calling it a "swastidumpster" is tasteless and makes you look bad. even if you want to liken it to a dumpster please use the correct term, which is a dumpstika.

ROFL what brain damaged morons designed this shit?

Did y’all see the bit about the space x rocket being less effective of the oldest rockets made. Calculation error means it can only take up 400 tons of the 1000 it supposed to. No way to fix it. NASA did it better.

Good for the american criminals, I guess, since the police departments using Teslas might be prone to shorting out on pursuits during heavy rain, I guess.

W Freedom (to commit crimes).

Until a few years ago, every $500 Tesla door handle had over a dozen contact switches, motors, microprocessors, and other points of failure, all exposed to moisture and thermal cycling.

Now they just have 2 motors, a couple hall effect sensors, and a microprocessor encased in plastic so they're 10x cheaper to make and don't fail nearly as much, but still cost $500.

Maybe the people who bought one should complain to a consumer watch dog agency.

Oh, wait. Do those even exist anymore?

You can't take those things though car washes? I heard you can only use touchless, but that's probably even more water than a brushy one.

I love that for every bozo who bought one in Florida now the we're about to enter hurricane season in a few months.
