Water got into the battery. Well that sounds like it is squarely a fault of Tesla and its QC or R&D. Who tf builds a car, with a battery, doesn’t make sure that the battery and all other major components are IP68 rated for “full immersion up to a meter or more for 30 minutes” ?

Its a CAR. We have Fords to cross. And some RAIN fscked it up??!!

QC

That’s implying they have one at all!

Viking_Hippie ,

The official QC policy from Musk himself is “don’t”

Gotta save that time and money

He probably thinks QC is a bit ‘woke’ and thus dismisses it out of hand.

Viking_Hippie , (edited )

Nah, it’s because he’s obsessed with getting cars out the door as quickly as possible to shorten the waiting list he’s always hearing about.

Coupled with fact that he doesn’t care about the safety and happiness of people whose surname isn’t a perfume ingredient.

dukatos ,

It makes no sense…

Viking_Hippie ,

It does when you’re a narcissist who cares a lot about your own reputation and how endless waiting lists are tarnishing it and not at all about the safety and happiness of people who have already given you their money.

Teslas are very pretty and quick, but this welding is symptomatic of their overall build quality: https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/273f1f21-dda1-483f-8b0e-6d22dd9c0fd3.png https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/8fb9c0a5-12d7-4c01-aff8-b5c74eb97ef2.jpeg https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/010af789-1a4f-4588-83b6-4d118f6f409c.jpeg

Holy shit

elmicha ,

The second car here is a Tesla, and it still runs at the other side of the ford (but we don’t know for how long). But I agree, driving through rain should not damage a car.

HughJanus ,

It didn’t get fucked up by rain. They drove it on heavily flooded roads, according to Scots from the area.

Myself and about 3 million other Tesla owners can attest that they are not perturbed by rain.

dukatos ,

Well, it is a SUV. Why not?

HughJanus ,

Why not what?

I think it’s important to mention that this isn’t an issue EVs have but an issue Teslas in particular have. They seem to have a really bad build quality from what I hear.

vzq ,

It’s the remote workers.

frshmt ,

Battery was installed over zoom and the call dropped before the insulation part

HughJanus ,

an issue Teslas in particular have

I suppose you have evidence of this “issue” with Teslas?

The article this entire post is about…

HughJanus ,

This post is about a single vehicle that was most likely driven in deep water, but even if it wasn’t, is not indicative of an “issue Teslas have”.

Thorny_Insight ,

With that money I could just buy three more trucks like the one I already own and take a week long holiday to Europe.

joshhsoj1902 ,

Where on earth are finding decent vehicles for under 8k??

Unless your current truck is 10-15 years old and has over 250k km on it…

Thorny_Insight ,

My current truck is 15 years old and has 250k km on it.

LemmyIsFantastic ,

Yes pieces of shit old cars are cheaper than new nice ones. How terribly observant of you.

ribboo ,

Yes working old cars are cheaper than piece of shit new ones. How terribly observant of you*

LemmyIsFantastic ,

Yes Teslas are pieces of shit.

Kecessa ,

Eh… Yes?

Thorny_Insight ,

What makes it a piece of shit?

LemmyIsFantastic ,

Interior, garbage touch only controls, shitty build quality, beta features. The only thing it does well is the drivetrain.

Thorny_Insight ,

You don’t even know which truck I have so how can you criticize its interior? Same applies to build quality.

Touch only controls and beta features? There’s literally no even a screen in it and all controls are done by physical buttons and knobs.

LemmyIsFantastic ,

Oh your truck? Because you priced it at 8k. It’s absolutely a piece of shit.

machinin ,

I think the person was talking about the Tesla.

Didn’t they have already issues with water on the Model 3 bumper? Still remembering seeing my first Tesla Model S… Worst bodypanel gaps I’ve ever seen on a new car

    I don’t even believe the story happened.

    Got any more sources target than carexpert.com.au lmao

    If you had bothered to read the article before deciding the story didn’t happen then you wouldn’t need me to link you to the original source as it’s linked in the fourth sentence. Yet here we are…
