    These fucking guys paying six figures for a dirty, broken, uncharged cybertruck. I mean seriously, they’re REALLY gargling Elons balls, this is insane. I wouldn’t take delivery of a fucking Corolla if it arrived like this, let alone a car the cost of a small house.

      My first car was a Corolla that was older than me and practically free. Apart from having to change the battery a couple of times over the years I never had a problem keeping it running. Now 10 years after getting rid of it I’d still choose to take it back over one of these stupid things.

        My silver 1986 Toyota Corolla manual transmission sedan, which I inherited from my mom in 1998 or so, was my favorite car I ever owned. I miss it. I drove it for years until the tire rod snapped and I smashed into a parked car.

          A tire rod snapping is no joke. An 18 wheeler flipped over outside of my workplace on Monday because of that. Nobody was seriously hurt, fortunately. It took hours to get it cleared up.

    Good lord, reading some of the comments on this article made me lose braincells. Musk sure is owning the marxist libs with these fucking leaky refrigerators on wheels.

    Idk, something just irks the hell out of me when people are like “50% battery is actually good bro, it’s the perfect storage level for lithium bro”. It’s not in storage anymore, it’s being delivered.

    ICE cars are shipped with a quarter tank or less, but they are never delivered without close to a full tank. The fact that the Tesla dealer didn’t spend the $1 of electricity or the half hour washing it down is just plain rude. And yet, people are still defending this shit as if being abused by big daddy musk is their life’s greatest goal. Absolutely mind boggling.

    Destin, Florida

    Arguably the best beaches in the continental United States. Absolutely lovely area. My wife and I planned to retire there…then Trump came down some escalators and the once merely annoying, always complaining “conservatives” lost their fucking mind. In 2023, we finally sold everything and abandoned the area.

    This guy bought what he deserved.

    Gotta figure something like that would be covered under a lemon law, though sounds like dude is letting them go through the motions.

      This was my first thought. It’s not a warranty issue. You delivered a broken product. In the old days that was referred to as a lemon.

      I don’t have a problem with the buyer giving Tesla a chance to do the right thing, which they clearly refused to do, but at the same time, this isn’t the end of this story.

      Tesla has so many fanboys with their heads shoved so far up elons ass that they can taste what he’s eating. Those fanboys, I’m sure, will say everything about how Tesla is right etc, but the legality of this has been long established.

      Any lawyer worth their salt would advise Tesla to settle this by any means necessary, because going to the courts will very likely be much worse. The only way they could possibly “win” when it comes to court is to draw it out for long enough that the prosecution runs out of money.

    At this point, with all this information out there, if anyone goes out and buys a Tesla it’s their own damn fault (and Tesla’s, of course).

    Sorry, we don’t cover things we’re responsible for in our warranty.

    We don’t cover things you’re responsible for either, by the way.

      Responsibility? What’s that? No politician is held responsible for anything. Why would shit for brains think any different?

      All Musk had to do was shut the fuck up and not be such an egomaniac and they’d be fine, but apparently that’s just not an option.
