so every time one of these stories comes out, the musk stans pop up to go "you only report on this because it's tesla, no other manufacturer gets this kind of scrutiny!!!!"

has anyone done the math yet though? even if problems with teslas get over-reported, surely by this point it's becoming obvious that they have a greater number of serious failures than other cars?

you'll note that at no point was it an option to put the car in neutral and push it out of the intersection, like you would do with literally any other vehicle. to the extent that the cops just started directing traffic around it

could also be partially that there are like seven dollars in Michigan and four of them belong to car executives so I doubt there are many teslas here anyway

the rest belong to the devos family so maybe that's who posted that

when i got rearended by the dude that totaled my 325 it drove the battery into the rear tire, rendering it immobile

a state trooper came up and yelled HEY WE GOTTA GET THIS THING OUT OF THE FAST LANE
i replied "She's dead, boss. Wanna push?"

and that is when i got to see a state trooper line his push bar up with my bmw and rev up and just bulldoze it out of the way into the median

it was super badass and i cannot wait until it is SOP to do this to $75,000 electric value-sedans with Tesla badges on them. oh god theyre going to sue the cops lmaoooooo

please refer to page 52 of the online manual pdf. only the year old version is correct not the new one though so you'er going to need to torrent it. it will instruct you which tools are required to remove the tools to remove both rear tires. carefully squeeze your friend into a postion under the car and apply 500 pounds of forward pressure to the 5/8" rear seat mounting rivet. it will be difficult, they will surely gently caress up and die. we're sure you'll be able to learn from their reckless mistake and get it first try though.

there was an ad during football where two coaches sat in the back of a full sized pickup and yelled FIFTY SIX HUNDRED POUNDS! LETS SEE EM PUSH IT and eight linebackers slowly nudged it a few feet

i genuinely don't understand why teslas can't be put into neutral without power. it's a goddamned electric car. with no power it should just coast like a skateboard

sure this is A Concern but "car without power should be movable by normal tow truck/determined pushing" is (or should be!) way more important

if only the car company CEO didn't believe in safety third

(I helped a coworker push his electric car 2.5 blocks to get it from where it had lost power to the company parking lot once, it was actually the most fun I had at that job. Pushing very heavy things that roll pretty well is very satisfying exercise IME)
