For all the Tesla Fan Boys and Fan Girls including Tweedledumb and Tweedledee out there in dreamland.

How many problems has your Tesla given you over the years?

Top Problems:

Tesla mileage claims are a lie.
They claim 251 miles per charge. I get 110. Reasons: Tesla repeatedly warns you at each charge to charge only to 80% of full charge to “save their battery”. Their “requirement” costs you 50 miles per charge. You can only achieve the remaining 200 miles per charge by not using either the Air Conditioner or Heater both of which severely drain the battery and cut your remaining 200 miles in half depending on where you live. I live in Florida and that's why I’m down to 110 miles per charge. I really pity anyone in Duluth tying to heat their car in 20 below weather. Can they even make it out of their driveway having just a battery drive the car’s space heater?

A Tesla car is totally driven by Testa’s software which is full of bugs.
I have had my car reboot on numerous occasions which causes your phone calls, climate control, sound system, etc to stop while the car reboots? Then your settings don’t reset to their last settings. Even when the car does not reboot, settings mysterious change which driving. I have had my heated seats randomly turn on, my USB stereo system switch to streaming, etc, etc. When I bought the car in 2018, there was a bug where the car would not play an MP3 via the USB port, which was not fixed by Tesla for months. After a recent software update, Tesla decided to scramble all of the cars setting and control location on the screen. Imagine getting into your car and finding nothing that you used to control your car’s climate, sound system, phone, GPS, etc. is where you expected it to be. How stupid is that? I wonder how many accidents occurred resulting from the confusion Tesla created by scrambling the controls with no apparent benefit to anyone.

The key Fob has a very weak signal even with a new battery.
If my cell phone is anywhere near the key Fob, the doors will not open and often the same thing happens even when there is no cell phone. One time I accidentally locked the key in the car and it would not open (even though it is suppose to open in such situations) until I hitched a ride home to get my spare key. Tesla - are you kidding?? Can’t Tesla even make a “battery operated” key correctly?? Even the design of the key FOB itself is poor and it won’t even fit on a key chain without a special string adapter.

The center console I’m sorry to say was designed by an idiot.
The upper console section blocks about 1/3 of the lower console underneath it. When the upper console lid is closed, the contents of the upper console fall into the lower console when you stop the car. When you accelerate the car, the contents from the lower console slide backwards preventing the upper console from opening. You then must contort and slide you arm under the upper console to free the upper console door and find what dropped out of it and is hidden under the upper console. While doing this, the automatic door on the lower console closes on you arm, making you feel like one of the 3 stooges with your arm stuck in the console.

The floor mats are held to the floor just by velcro and not clips to the frame, as done in most other cars (even non-luxury cars).
As a result the floors mats cannot be held in place, bunch up and effect your ability to properly break or use the accelerator. This is a major safety hazard which should cause a recall of all model s cars to correct.

In a recent software update, Tesla blocked the car from starting for about a minute during which a notice flashes on the console to wait while the car “powers up”.
So don’t plan on using this car for a bank robbery for a quick get away. Its really annoying if your in a hurry. It also raises a concern as to why Tesla made this change only recently. Where car batteries exploding from an immediate startup?. Also, when you start the car when it is cold you may hear a loud bang out the rear end of the car, which the Tesla service rep claimed was “normal”. I guess Tesla is trying to emulate how a model T started in the early 1900s?? Wow what a high tech car.

I give Tesla creative credit for adding an “on demand” fart sound to the under seat speakers of the car in their latest software update. Its funny and a necessary function of any luxury car. All they need to do to complete the effect is to add some “gas” emissions to the car.

Tesla should stick to selling batteries to mature auto manufactures who have decades of experience properly human engineering cars and not lie to anyone about the realistic mileage range per charge.


...
And no discussion of unsafe Teslas would be complete without a Tesla, X here, crash

Badluck socko none of your silly posts have had any effects on Tesla sales Cheesy LOL

Tesla is a top priority for automakers, says BMW dealer who admits Model 3 is affecting sales

https://electrek.co/2019/02/21/tesla-top-priority-automakers-bmw-dealer-model-3-...

Quote:
Finding a way to mitigate Tesla’s impact is now a top priority for some automakers, according to one of the largest car dealer groups in the US who admits that Model 3 is affecting its BMW sales.
The comment was made by Jeff Dyke, President of Sonic Automotive, a company that operates over 100 car dealerships for many different brands in the US.

Sonic reported its financial results for the last quarter this week and its BMW sales were noticeably bad.

On the company’s earnings call yesterday, Dyke was asked if he sees Model 3 having an impact and he answered:

“There’s no question. I mean… they’re calling out to sell well over 300,000 cars this year, they sold a lot of cars last year. […] you can say all you want about their service problems and all of this, they just keep selling more cars. And I don’t know if it’s more of a cult than it is anything else, but my hat off to them. They’re selling lots of cars [..]”

Furthermore, Dyke says that he gathers from meetings with automakers that combating Tesla is now a top priority

He continued:

“I can tell you that I’ve spent a lot of time in manufacturer meetings and five years ago Tesla was just not even a real big topic and today it’s the top of everybody’s board and it needs to be.”

Dyke says that Audi, one of the brands they are selling, is doing a “good job” to come out with electric vehicles to compete with Tesla, but he thinks that BMW needs to do more.

Audi has at least one new all-electric vehicle lined up every year starting this year.

BMW has the Mini Electric coming later this year, but its real EV push is expected to start next year with its next-generation electric powertrain and the new BMW iX3.

Electrek’s Take
This is great. It was always Tesla’s goal to light a fire under other automakers to accelerate their EV programs and going after their sales is the best way to do it.

Last year, Tesla revealed the top 5 cars Tesla Model 3 buyers are trading in and the Prius topped the list:

Toyota Prius
BMW 3-Series
Honda Accord
Honda Civic
Nissan Leaf
Toyota recently admitted that the Tesla Model 3 is affecting Prius sales and they even said that Tesla is currently responsible for half of Toyota’s owner defection rate.

Now it looks like BMW dealers are also confirming that Model 3 is affecting them.

If that doesn’t push them to come out with better all-electric vehicles sooner, I don’t know what will… other than regulations, but that’s not happening in the US — at least not right now.

The silly dumb Tweedledumb posts the same irrelevant rubbish here as well.

But to point poor Tweedledumb's weak feeble addled mind in the right direction here is another unsafe Tesla where the weak suspension breaks and a wheel comes off and possibly a nice big CRRASSSHHH!!!!

If you are driving along and you see one of those unsafe Tesla things then KEEP WELL CLEAR because you never know when a wheel might fall off!!!!


Now another unsafe Tesla failure.

On June 29th, 2016 just before noon, I was driving my Model S 85D with my 8-year old son sitting next to me. We had turned on to the A2 in Holland towards Amsterdam, after a short break for charging bodies and batteries at the Eindhoven Supercharger. Our goal was Walibi, an amusement park with enough roller coasters to satisfy us both.

It was a true Telsa road-trip. Stockholm, Malmö, Backen in Denmark - the oldest amusement park in the world, the Tropical Islands water park outside of Berlin, Netherlands, Belgium, Paris and the Loire valley in France. We had turned back and were heading home, and the plan was to stop at as many amusement parks as we could. We had been driving fast on the autobahn, to feel what its like. We had been slipstreaming at 85km/h behind trailers in France to see how far we could go on a single charge. My son is a true Tesla enthusiast, and this trip was the greatest thing we’d ever done together.

We stopped at the last Supercharger in Belgium before the Netherlands the evening before, and re-stowed everything in the car. I felt it was wrong, an unnecessary risk, to have boxes of French wines, 1.5kg boule-balls and books laying loose in the back seat and trunk. Everything was secured so that it wouldn't come loose in case something would happen.

As I turn on the A2 I decide to drive at the speed limits, without the autopilot. Active driving to stay focused and sharp, at 130km/h, and we would arrive in good time at the park.
I stay in the middle lane on the 3-lane highway. This is the last decision that I remember as driver of the car. On the A2 136L the car rolls on the side to the left. The first thing I remember is the sound of the doors against the asphalt.


I was probably knocked out for a second by the airbags. I saw my son above me, looking straight at me. He said, loudly but without shouting, “What is happening, daddy?”. There was no fear in his voice, just the question. The car continued straight ahead, rolling over sideways, bounced off the roof, continued the roll and bounced on the roof again. The inside had been transformed into an inflatable castle. There were giant airbags everywhere, except for the front airbags in the steering wheel and above the glove compartment.

Eventually we came to a stop, on what was left of the wheels. We had been going straight as a spinning arrow and rolled around 2.5 times. I checked that I didn’t have any injuries that would make me go unconscious. There were glass everywhere. My son bent forward and took his cellphone out. “We’ve been in an accident, dad. We have to call 112”.

Is this what is waiting around the bend for every person in danger in an unsafe Tesla accident waiting to happen ?

...
Notice closely how the wheels have come off!!!!!


...


Once the reputable manufacturers move in Tesla will go under.

Now the silly Greeny fool Tweedledumb is lying and unsuccessfully trying to dispute FACTUAL EVIDENCE and what's worse the creep is smelling the fear coming from her smelly armpits again.

It is all too much for her tiny messed up mind to grasp.


Now a normal wheel dropping off day in the life of a death defying Tesla driver. Do Tesla owners have a Death Wish ?



Date Complaint Filed: 10/09/2016
Date of Incident: 10/05/2016
Component(s): SUSPENSION, WHEELS
NHTSA ID Number: 10914970
Consumer Location: SEATTLE, WA

Crash:No
Fire:No
Number of Injuries:0
Number of Deaths:0
Manufacturer: Tesla Motors, Inc.
Vehicle Identification No. (VIN): 5YJSA1H25FF…

SUMMARY:
I WAS DRIVING MY CAR TO WORK AND ACCIDENTALLY SCRAPED THE FRONT RIGHT WHEEL ON A CURB NEAR A ROUNDABOUT ON AN OLD/NARROW SEATTLE STREET (THERE WAS ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND PARKED CARS SO I HAD VERY LITTLE ROOM ON MY RIGHT AND MIS-JUDGED).

THE PAINT ON THE WHEEL WAS PRETTY BADLY SCRAPED UP BUT OTHERWISE THE CAR WAS FINE (NO BODY DAMAGE) AND THE WHEEL HAD NO VISUAL STRUCTURAL DAMAGE (THE CAR’S ALIGNMENT WAS NOT AFFECTED).

I CONTINUED DRIVING TO WORK WITHOUT ISSUE, INCLUDING 5-6 MILES ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60MPH.

WHEN PARKING IN THE UNDERGROUND GARAGE AT MY OFFICE 20 MINUTES AFTER THE CURB INCIDENT, I TURNED THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT TO ADJUST MY CAR IN THE PARKING SPOT AND HEARD/FELT A RUBBING SOUND, FOLLOWED BY A LOUD CLUNK.

THE FRONT RIGHT OF THE CAR DROPPED AND THE WHEEL FELL OFF THE SUSPENSION AND WAS WEDGED UNDER THE FRONT OF THE CAR.

THE CAR WAS DISABLED AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO TESLA.

GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF FORCE APPLIED TO THE WHEEL BY THE CURB AND THE LACK OF OTHER SYMPTOMS, IT SEEMS UNLIKELY THAT ANY NORMAL, STOCK SUSPENSION SHOULD FAIL AS IT DID WITH THIS CAR.

IT APPEARS A BOLT ON THE LOWER CONTROL ARM SHEARED OFF COMPLETELY WHEN I WAS PARKING (AND HAD PROBABLY BEEN FATIGUED BY THE CURBING INCIDENT).

It's really scary reading about the news in Florida recently wherein the driver died. I think they forgot to do a quality check of the product as the battery is still on fire a day after the incident.

bellamor,

you share the fear about the unsafe Tesla toy cars. Anyone who gets into an unsafe Tesla is taking his life into his own hands.  The Lithium battery is a fire bomb just waiting to happen.


And silly old Tweedledumb is lying non stop as she is a Tesla Fan Girl who thinks Tesla can do no wrong and is the best thing since sliced bread.

And now back to the FACTS.

Complaint Number: 10908787
Vehicle Identification Number: 5YJSA1E21FF120311
Your Vehicle’s Make Model and Model Year: TESLA MODEL S 2015
Note: Your VIN, make, model, and year are all protected under the Privacy Act.

What part of your car was affected? Suspension

What happened?
Here is a Tesla in the salvage yard.

The ball joint has pulled out from the steering knuckle causing the wheel to slew back into the wheel well.

The wheel liner is shredded.

There is no impact damage forward of the wheel that would account for the damage.

Tesla suspensions are failing in a variety of ways which suggests that the design, manufacture, and testing are inadequate and present a hazard to the public. Please investigate.


When did this happen? 09/01/2016
Was there a Crash? No
Was there a Fire? No
Was there an injury or fatality? No
How fast were you going? (in mph) 40

Yeh don't forget the fire extinguisher if you own a jeep Sad

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-fiat-chrysler-verdict-jeep/u-s-jury-awards-15...

U.S. jury awards $150 million for Jeep fuel-tank fire death


Quote:
A U.S. jury in Georgia on Thursday awarded $150 million to a family that sued Chrysler Group LLC for the 2012 death of their 4-year-old in a fiery crash involving a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a rear fuel tank.

Following a nearly two-week trial in Decatur County, Georgia, jurors said Chrysler, a unit of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, was liable for the death of Remington Walden and failed to warn customers that the tank’s position could increase the risk of fire in a rear-end crash.

Chrysler previously recalled 1.56 million Jeep SUVs with rear fuel tanks, although the 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee in which Walden was riding was not among them.

The jury, which began deliberating Thursday afternoon, said Chrysler acted with “reckless and wanton disregard” and ordered it to pay 99 percent of the damages. The driver of the vehicle that rear-ended the Grand Cherokee was responsible for the other 1 percent.

Walden was killed when the Jeep he was riding in was struck from behind, rupturing the fuel tank and creating an “inferno,” according to Jim Butler, a lawyer for the family. Had the fuel tank been placed farther forward on the vehicle, he said, it would have been better protected.

Concerns over fuel-tank placement prompted Chrysler to announce in 2013 that it would recall 1993-1998 Jeep Grand Cherokees, along with the Jeep Libertys from model years 2002-2007. The company also said it would conduct a “customer satisfaction campaign” for 1999-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokees.

The announcement came after Chrysler initially denied there was a safety issue. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has linked more than 50 deaths to the fuel-tank issues.

Chrysler’s lawyers said at trial that the fire did not cause Walden’s death and blamed the driver of the other vehicle. Fiat Chrysler Chief Executive Sergio Marchionne, whose pre-recorded testimony was played during trial, said that regulators never found a defect in the 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee and that there was no evidence the vehicle was dangerous. Reuters viewed the proceedings on Courtroom View Network.

But then what else would you expect from such a consummate utter dumb Greeny twit ?

The TOPIC is about unsafe TESLA piles of junk.


Now back to the reality of the unsafe toy cars made by the unprofitable Tesla.


Complaint Number: 10954963
Vehicle Identification Number: 5YJSA1E25FF106184
Your Vehicle’s Make Model and Model Year: TESLA MODEL S 2015

What part of your car was affected? Suspension, Unknown or Other


What happened?

The attached photograph shows that the top ball joint on the front RH wheel has separated causing gouging of the tire tread.


The wheel is displaced towards the rear of the wheel well which is most likely the cause of the fire.

The fire has been hot enough to melt metal so it is almost certain that the Lithium batteries were the source of the fire.

Please investigate the problems with Tesla suspensions and also the issue of battery fires.

Lithium battery fires burn burn extremely hot, emit toxic fumes, and are difficult to extinguish.

I request that you investigate the circumstances of this incident. I am not the owner, just a very concerned citizen. Date of incident is an approximation.

When did this happen? 01/01/2017
Was there a Crash? No
Was there a Fire? Yes

Was there an injury or fatality? No
How fast were you going? (in mph) 30
About how many miles were on your vehicle at the time of the incident? 5000

...

...
Would you risk life and limb in one of these death cars ?
