The autopilot speeding up to kiss the Subaru is a boring repeat of every Tesla video. The airbag not deploying in a 20mph crash is a new fun twist. Although not completely unprecedented after reading up a bit on airbag standards.

35 I think is the minimum an airbag is required to deploy.

I don't understand this poo poo. There has been HUNDREDS of people posting videos about the roofs leaking, but Tesla can't be bothered to at least put a drat host at the end of the line to make sure the roofs don't leak?

I know I know, the answer is always incompetence.

That thread is good for that one goon who was a Tesla fanboy, bought a M3, had life happen, and is now being perma-hosed by non existent replacement part to the point he’s getting lawyers involved to get his car fixed.

he still loves the car, though :lol:

that’s me.

As I said, the car itself is fun to drive, although I really like the Volt and want a Polestar2. The company itself is horseshit.

I have a T8 in my XC60 and I really like Volvo's electric engine implementation. The Polestar 2 looks awesome!

And holy poo poo I just checked in on the Polestar 1 wow that looks amazing.

The 2 is going to be my next car. I have had 3 Volvo’s in my life and I have loved them all. my 2011 S40 has close to 300,000 miles on it and still runs strong. Gave it to the daughter a year ago and still no issues. just basic maintenance.

Happy Noodle Boy posted:

Didn’t want to namecall but sorry you’re going through that poo poo. It’s really hilarious to see from the outside. I’ve been looking at EVs for close to a year now and I keep going back to the Ioniq. It looks real nice and has pretty much all I’d need and the range is plenty for what I’ll be be using it for.

It is hilarious, don’t worry. If the 3 had been made by a competent car company, it would probably be the best EV ever made for years running. It also wouldn’t have terrible quality issues and bumpers that fall off I. the rain lol.

also computers straight up arent progressing in performance nearly as fast as they used to so there genuinely isnt as much of a reason to upgrade these days.

rofl, I had my lawyer send them an email saying I was going to lemon law the drat thing because of the fender issue. The body shop called me a few hours later saying Tesla gave him a tracking number.

In short, if you want your fender, you have to spend $100 for a lawyer to send an email.

If the wrong fender arrives, I am going to not be surprised.

I like how they can't choose between the "this is fake, summon feature doesn't go fast enough to do this kind of damage" and "well it was summoned and no driver hence no reason to deploy airbags"

Airbags don’t deploy below 35MPH. on all cars.

Got the car back finally:

Things the body shop did right:
- Body panels align better
- Paint looks decent

Things they did badly:
- They "buffed" the new paint and now it's hologramed to poo poo and back.
- They missed a scratch on the review mirror.


Other notes:
- The car still fun to drive because electric is fun to drive.
- Automatic headlights are still absolute horseshit.
- My 2011 S40 has less road/wind noise than this thing, holy hell I forgot about how bad the 3's are with road/wind noise.



I'm going to call the body shop to see if they will fix their shoddy buff job, and then I will put it on the market.

One other thing: I find the S40 more fun to drive because I can flog it and it's light and small. I think I am going to get a 2014/2015 V60 Polestar.
