Ignoring the senseless dribbling of the mentally disabled Tweedledumb.

Back to the TOPIC which has totally humiliated and exposed the Tweedle twins as just empty headed drongos trying to use the Gay Greeny tactics of using whatever irrelevancy they can think of and attacking the person who is so much smarter than they are. Of course these imbeciles copy the Gay Greeny style and assume they ARE RIGHT ALL THE TIME.


The TOPIC is about the unsafe Tesla heaps of junk which are a dangerous hazard to other road users. Look out for flying bits of a Tesla.

These Teslas are such unsafe rubbish you would think they were made in China.

...
Tesla 3 looks a bit sick with no wheel.


...
Oh strewth the suspension broke and the wheel fell off!!!

Here is a Tesla Model 3 in the junkyard. It has not been any major collision. The suspension on the RH side is broken. The top wishbone which is made out of (can you believe this?) plastic.has snapped off. This not good.

When did this happen? 10/01/2018

Was there a Crash? No

Was there a Fire? No

Was there an injury or fatality? No

How fast were you going? (in mph) 20

About how many miles were on your vehicle at the time of the incident? 351

The sad defeated failure Tweedledumb just won't accept defeat and keeps coming back with such trivial childish rubbish. Surely the blood clot knows NOBODY ever bothers to look at those silly Youtube videos.

Following the Gay Greeny tactic of trying to attack the person and make everything seem to be a personal issue is a well known failure.

The idiotic part is that the sick in the head Tweedledumb is actually unconsciously using neurotic projection and describing her own disturbed mind.

But ignoring the autistic neurotic deranged fool and back to the TOPIC which is about the unsafe Tesla death robots.



Now THIS is the sort of thing that sends the feeble minded Tweedle twins into a mental state of derangement:-

...


Here is another Tesla in the junkyard. It has been completely destroyed by fire.

Despite the extreme fire damage it is clear from the attached photograph that the suspension links on the RH back wheel are cleanly snapped off.

This is not because they have melted in the fire because there are two clear fractures and the wheel has gone whompy.

Another case of fragile alloy suspension parts causing a crash followed by a fire most likely to to leaking hot Glycol followed by ignition of the battery pack.

These cars are worse than the old Pinto and Corvair. They are unsafe at any voltage. Please investigate. Seething citizen etc. etc. Date of incident is an approximation.

When did this happen? 02/01/2018
Was there a Crash? Yes
Was there a Police Report? Yes
Were Vehicles Towed? Yes
Was there a Fire? Yes
Was there an injury or fatality? No
How fast were you going? (in mph) 50
About how many miles were on your vehicle at the time of the incident? 15000

Looks like the disturbed Tweedle dimwits have finally conceded defeat. Or they might be working on Ban Australia Day celebrations.

But back to the TOPIC.




More Bad News: Tesla Is About to Owe $920 Million in Debt. Will Tesla make it past this next speedbump?
Jon Christiana day ago

...
Tesla S killer robot

Debtor’s Prison
Elon Musk-led electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla has had a chaotic month. End-of-the-year figures showed that it had scaled up production dramatically in 2018, but weeks later the company announced that it was laying off seven percent of its workforce.

Now, CNBC speculates that some of those financial jitters could stem from a nearly billion-dollar debt that’s about to come due to for the automaker — a tough start to 2019 that could impact not just Tesla’s long-term chances but the outlook of the entire EV industry.

Financial Wrangling
The debt stems from a financial instrument called a “convertible senior note,” according to CNBC: basically, if the company’s stock is trading for more than $359.87 on March 1, the debt will convert into Tesla shares — but if not, it’ll owe the $920 million debt in cash.

Why’s that bad news for Tesla? Because the automaker’s stock hasn’t traded above that value in weeks, the network reports.


Adaptions
Tesla has clearly been making efforts to shore up its bottom line. In addition to he layoffs, it dropped its longstanding customer referral program this past week.

If it’s forced to cough up the debt, according to CNBC, Tesla will wipe out approximately a third of its cash reserves — a bleak state of affairs for a futuristic venture that’s struggled with certain business norms as it attempts to upend an established industry.

A New Ipswich teen who was seriously injured in a crash in Rindge last month died yesterday.

Nina Colasanto of New Ipswich suffered life-threatening injuries when a Tesla she was a passenger in went off the road, split in two and ignited into a fiery blaze on Dec. 26, her 19th birthday.

“She passed away in surgery” on Saturday, Hope Fellowship pastor Jordan Moody said Sunday morning during a Facebook Live stream. The surgery was one of many she had endured since the December car crash.

“She’s no longer suffering. There’s no more pain. There’s no more tears for her,” Moody said before leading a prayer for Colasanto.

Colasanto was a passenger in a 2017 Tesla Model X that crashed on Perry Road in Rindge on Dec. 26 around 8 p.m. Colasanto was pulled from the wreckage by friends and passersby and taken to UMass Memorial Medical Center in Worcester, Massachusetts following the crash.


The driver of the Tesla, Travis Olson, 17, of Rindge, and the second passenger, Chelsea Holombo, 17, of New Ipswich, were taken to the Monadnock Community Hospital in Peterborough with serious but non-life threatening injuries and were released.

“Nina suffered some of the worst injuries and she’d been in the hospital till yesterday,” Moody said. “She had burns and broken bones and lung problems and so many other things and yet they had been doing multiple surgeries since then and every time there was a surgery it seemed like God would encourage us – with just – it’s going well, she’s doing better, she’s doing great. And then very suddenly, within a 24-hour period really, she started to go down hill with her health.”

Moody said the doctors at UMass were “amazing” trying to figure out what was wrong with her and said the surgery on Saturday was an attempt to improve her condition and figure out what was going that was preventing her from recovering.

“It seemed like God had worked up amazing miracles up until this point and then left us hanging in some ways. And our faith is questioned in many ways,” Moody said. “And yet I’ve been very encouraged to see the amazing response from young people all in our area who knew her very well and her family that this event, and this difficulty, this hardship has not driven people further away, but has driven people closer together.”

Moody held the Facebook Live stream in place of Sunday services due to the snowstorm. Colasanto, “Bean” to her friends, was a member of Hope Fellowship Church in Jaffrey. Moody said she was also part of a church community in South Carolina. Colasanto had many friends and family members in New Ipswich, Rindge, Jaffrey and South Carolina, he said.

Moody said he first learned of her declining condition Saturday morning while attending a parenting conference at Hope Fellowship Church.

“At the parenting conference in the morning I received word that she was having a rough time and she was headed down hill on some things. We prayed for her at the parenting conference Saturday morning, all the parents prayed together. And then some prayed throughout the day. Many people were hoping she would continue to rebound, that she would get better.”

Moody said Colasanto’s mother, Christina Bassett, asked him to express her thanks to the church family for helping them through this and continuing to help them through this difficult time.

“She was full of joy. She had many friends in many places as were are finding out. She affected many lives including me and my wife,” Moody said.

Colasanto graduated from Mascenic High School in 2018.

A New Ipswich teen who was seriously injured in a crash in Rindge last month died yesterday.

Why would any right thinking parent let a 17 year old drive a vehical that is as fast as a Tesla , I don’t get it, earlier last year 3 teenagers chashed  and died going like the clappers , now another one. The biggest tragedy is that these Tesla cars have a velvet mode or parent mode that can limit the acceleration and speed but obviously not used .
The three of them where lucky it was a x or more than likely they would of all died.

The Tweedle dimwits disappoint again.

Silly Tweedledumb is stuck on his silly videos that nobody looks at and Tweedledee is stuck on copying my clever posts and then adding some nonsense after it.

You really wonder why they keep humiliating themselves like this.

But ignoring the impaired twin twits and back to the TOPIC.



I like my Tesla, but it isn’t perfect. Here are four things I don’t like:

Range: If I charge all the way, I would be extremely lucky to get 200 miles from my Model X 90D. It is advertised at a range of 260, which would only happen in a tail wind going downhill…for 260 miles.

Premium car, but not premium service: The car almost never needs service, but when it does, we only have one option: the local Tesla Service Center. To some people, “local” will mean driving for half a day to get to one. Once we book an appointment and arrive, the service isn’t bad, but for what we pay, it isn’t comparable to Lexus, BMW, or Mercedes. Also, better hope you don’t need to replace body panels from an accident, because those are not easy to find and I’ve had friends that have had those on order for a long time.

Many of the car’s features are based on the Internet: I have often thought this was a great thing, but earlier this year, Tesla’s servers were down for an entire weekend (Friday PM to Sunday PM) and that meant you couldn’t unlock or drive your car with their app, you couldn’t turn on the heater or AC remotely, or locate your car. This was a nuisance for Model S and X owners, but really bad for Model three owners, for many don’t even use their ‘key card’ that Tesla issued them. And after over 60 hours of outage, Tesla didn’t even acknowledge or apologize for the event. Whoops.

Hype vs. Reality: Making the most tech-forward car in the world can’t be easy, but it is frustrating to pay a lot of money for a feature and then only getting to use it, kind-of. I am talking about the auto-pilot. It was hyped pretty big when it came out early last year: Elon said he would drive from LA to NY unassisted by the end of the year. Yeah, that still hasn’t happened. Also, the version 2 of the auto-pilot didn’t surpass version 1 capabilities until pretty recently. This causes two problems: 1) the old autopilot 1 owners originally felt ripped off that they were told their car would be upgradable via software only to find out they needed new hardware that could be retro-fitted to their cars and 2) The AP 2 owners felt ripped off that they bought a brand new car and spent a lot of money on AP only to find it was unusable and vastly inferior to the previous version!

Wonder if Tweedledee will try to copy all this ?

Here are 14 things that are bad about Tesla cars (notice, some of these items could also be attributed to all electric vehicles):

1. There is Nothing “Green” About Them
...

Tesla’s (and most EVs in that class) have battery packs that are made up of thousands of batteries (the kind you would use in your electronic devices). While the average consumer requires a handful of batteries to power up their electronics every blue moon, Tesla drivers are consuming thousands (Tesla Model S 85 kwh has over 7000 battery cells) which have to be replaced at some point. There is a reason why we can’t just dump our batteries in the trash! THEY ARE TERRIBLE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT. Now imagine dumping over 7000 batteries all at once. The environmental damage from battery manufacturing and disposal alone would make the environmentalist go nuts but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. If you live in the USA, most of your electricity comes from burning thick, black, über-polluting COAL! Even the super-charger stations are running mostly on the power from the grid which for the most part is generated by burning coal and natural gas.

COAL and Natural Gas provide almost 70% of all electricity in the USA (varies by state). Sure, they aren’t clean but they have something renewables don’t- RELIABILITY. They work day and night, when there is no sun, no wind, no ocean currents or terrible weather. My point is, Tesla’s or EV’s are not “green” - yes they may be more efficient than gasoline cars but not by a huge factor if everything is considered.


2. Horsepower and Torque is Based on How Much Juice They Have Left
...

Ever wonder why Tesla doesn’t advertise their horsepower and torque ratings? BECAUSE THEY VARY BASED ON THE BATTERY CHARGE LEVEL. A Tesla at 100% charge will be faster than a Tesla at a 50% charge or 25% charge. Imagine what that would be like with a gasoline car. Your cars’ advertised horsepower of 500HP goes down to 400HP when you have half of the gasoline left in the tank. THAT WOULD BE ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE! Gasoline cars don’t lose power just because you don’t have a full tank of gasoline! Tesla’s, however, are just like glorified golf carts or those 12V RC toy cars for small children. We can all remember how those things used to take off like mad when fully charged and totally lagged and slowed down when they had barely any juice left. Yep - that’s a Tesla for ya! If you think that’s not bad enough- the batteries also degrade over time, which brings me to my next point…


3. Batteries Degrade Over Time, Decreasing its Range
...

Tesla’s decrease their range by up to 30% in 5 years or so due to battery degradation, as if “range anxiety” wasn’t already a deal-breaker to begin with. Yes, gasoline cars may loose some of their efficiency in terms of gallon/miles but generally their range is not affected over their lifetime. Whatever range you get with a Gasoline car from day 1 that’s typically what you get 10 or 20 years later (considering minimal maintenance). That is not true for Tesla’s (Or other EV’s).


4. They Blow Up or Burn Up When You “Accidentally” Crash Them
...

At least the tank filled with gasoline is safely tucked away at the rear of a gasoline car, while with Tesla’s the entire floor of the car is made up of the battery cells. You are basically riding on an inferno waiting to happen. Which begs the question - how much is your life and the lives of your friends and family worth to you?


5. Charging Can Take Forever
...

Are you willing to make visiting a rest area when taking longer trips into a picnic? Because you will be there for a while when the Tesla is getting charged, yes even with the superchargers - they take 20 minutes to charge to 50%, 40 minutes to charge to 80%, and 75 minutes to 100%. So much for “efficiency”. You are driving “THE FUTURE OF AUTOMOTIVE DREAM” and yet it totally sucks when it comes to saving that one thing we all don’t have much of and that one thing that matters most in life - TIME.

But even if you believe you are some type of immortal being who lives forever and doesn’t give a poo about your time on this earth, what if there is an emergency and your Tesla isn’t charged up? Tough luck! You are screwed! Better hit up your neighbors for their gasoline cars to get you where you need to be.


6. The Price
...

The cheapest Tesla as of September 2018 is a model 3 which costs about $57,000 plus tax with some reasonable options (such as Autopilot). At that price I can get an Audi S8, BMW or Mercedes Benz with better options and a better brand. The $7500 government incentive is something not everyone qualifies for and will soon be gone.


7. Charging Infrastructure Availability
...

Gotta figure out if supercharger stations are available in your area if you live in an apartment, if not how much will it cost to get one installed at your home? Not a big deal, I am sure but still, it is something Tesla owners have to consider that gasoline car owners do not have to worry about.

The Tesla disaster continues overleaf

The Tesla disaster continues...

8. Service Center Availability
...

I heard someone who bought a Tesla in a country where they didn’t have a service center, was asked by Tesla to “ship” the vehicle to the US at a cost of close to $8000 for a $2500 fix. OUCH! Keep in mind, you can’t just drive to any of the hundred of thousands of car mechanic shops available to gasoline cars - for obvious reasons - nobody services electric vehicles! Those mechanics will probably laugh hard then tell you politely to leave.


9. Additional Weight to the Power Produced
...

Pound for pound, Gasoline is much more energy dense than batteries. Which means you are getting more energy out of a pound of gasoline than you are getting out of a pound of batteries. A gallon of gasoline weighs only 6.3 pounds yet provides about 36 KW/h of energy. A battery pack providing 36 kw/h of energy would weigh over 500 pounds and cost over $5000! This is one of the main reasons why in the early 1900’s, gasoline cars won over electric cars. This is also why there will never be planes (especially a passenger plane) that is battery powered! It would literally take tons of batteries to make even close to the power that kerosene provides and the additional weight added to the plane would not make it feasible nor economical to fly! Tesla’s weigh much more than their gasoline counterparts as a result of this power deficiency. You are basically shoving more batteries into the car’s chassis to make up for this power deficiency which adds more weight. More weight makes the car less agile, more likely to roll, skid or slip which makes Tesla’s more risky in car accidents.

VIDEO: Here is the famous American scientist/physicist Dr. Michio Kaku talking about this topic- “Why Batteries Are Primitive”.



10. Range Loss due to Cold Weather
...

How does that sound to all of you who live in colder climates? Again, cold weather may affect gasoline cars too, in that, the gasoline engine may need some help getting started but once the car is started its full power and range are available. Not so for Teslas!


11. No Way to Modify for Performance
...

When you buy a Tesla you are buying a pre-packaged product. Elon Musk basically decides FOR YOU what you should and should not have in that car. The only things you can modify are “aesthetic” things like carbon fiber stickers and painting your rims. There are NO PERFORMANCE PARTS for the Tesla only Performance Upgrades sold directly by Tesla that yields the company anywhere from $5000–$24000 in pure profit and you are still limited to the battery capacity and the motor performance!


12. No Way to Install a High-Drain Stereo System
...

Speaking of car modifications, installing a 5000 Watt – 10000 Watt (continuous) aftermarket high drain car stereo will be eating away at the total range of the car, that is if you somehow manage to tap the main battery without getting electrocuted! The smaller accessories battery doesn’t provide enough juice to drive a high drain car stereo. In ICE cars, the alternator usually provides enough juice to power high-drain systems (in some cases the alternator has to be replaced with a bigger one but the point is, you have the option with an ICE vehicle to solve the low voltage or low power problem fairly easily - not so in Teslas!).


13. Bankruptcy Risk
...

There is a reason why so many short-sellers are shorting the crap out of Tesla’s stock - countless electric (EV) companies have already died in vein! Fisker being the most famous one is barely alive and several companies you haven’t even heard of died miserably. There was an EV company lead by Shai Agassi who took $850M in VC money and DIED! (Source: Wikipedia)

TESLA IS NEXT!

The only person keeping the company afloat is Elon himself, but the moment he takes his eyes off the ball, that company is going to sink like the Titanic!

Think about what this means for all Tesla owners when Tesla goes bankrupt:

No more Super Charging Network
No more Parts or service if something goes wrong
No more Software Updates
No Tesla mobile app (and associated functions)
No battery pack replacement (slow death)
Disastrous value depreciation of the car
Warranty will be obviously voided
With ICE cars you can at least get your car serviced by an independent mechanic even if the manufacturer goes bankrupt (provided aftermarket parts exists)


14. Phantom/Vampire Drain
VIDEO: Vampire drain


Ever left your battery powered electronics unattended for a few days without turning it on and noticed that somehow the battery is half-way drained? Well - that is called Physics - more specifically its called Vampire or Phantom drain. Electrons hate staying in one place - like inside a battery and all battery driven electronics, including, of course- Tesla cars are not exempt from this. According to my research, Tesla's loose some 5 miles per day in range (or about 2% charge) due to vampire drain. There is no cure for vampire drain.

There is nothing quite like daring death trundling along in your unsafe Tesla death robot just waiting for a wheel to fall off and probably kill and incinerate you.

Tesla suspensions breaking and a wheel falling off is reaching epidemic proportions and is now not if but when it will happen as the suspension is so fragile it just cannot handle the weight of the heavy battery.

A passenger who survived tells his story.

I am no longer a Tesla owner as I sold my model 3 after a year. The interior was a bit too plain for me. I’m not sure I would call it a frustrating problem but I feel the only interaction a driver has with a car is what he sees and feels when sitting in the driving position. You don’t get the point of view of sitting anywhere else in the car and you don’t get the point of view of an onlooker when the car drives by. For me I just felt like I was driving a no frills car with a dash that looked like every cost had been cut to reduce price.

The only other frustrating time I had with a Tesla was in 2015 when I was with a friend driving his 2013 model S from Los Angeles to San Francisco on a deserted stretch of freeway.

We changed lanes and as the front driver side tire rolled over the small warning bumps between lanes we heard a pop followed by almost total loss of steering control.

Luckily there were no other cars near us or we would have definitely been in a major collision.

We managed to pull over to the side of the road and the wheel was totally out of position with what looked like pieces of hardware stuck near the brake caliper(see attached images).

After waiting hours for a tow truck we eventually got a tow to the nearest city.

The tow truck driver said it looked like a broken front axle and that he had seen the same issue on at least half a dozen Teslas in the last year.

My friend has since gotten the car fixed and whenever I ask him about it he says it was nothing as he is a big Tesla fan. As for me it was probably the scariest car incident I’ve had in my 30+ years of driving.

If you get into an unsafe death robot Tesla you take your life into your hands!!!!!!!
