Do people regard unsafe Tesla toys as use once then throw out ?

Tesla Model 3 gets called out for reliability issues

The more affordable Tesla electric car is one of the most anticipated new vehicles this year but some owners report major faults.

Tesla has experienced another embarrassing setback.
The car maker’s all-important Model 3 has been called out for a string of reliability issues.

American organisation Consumer Reports — which is similar to Australia’s Choice — savaged the brand in its latest reliability report.

Common issues afflicting the Model 3 include faulty infotainment functions (including instances of screen freezing), faulty paint, randomly cracking rear windows and numerous other hardware issues.
Last year, some Model 3 bumpers fell off when it rained.

Numerous faults led Consumer Reports to give the Model 3 a “do not recommend” rating.

https://www.news.com.au/technology/innovation/motoring/motoring-news/tesla-model...

Despite the numerous faults with the Model 3, its owners were among the most satisfied. Respondents rated the 3 on its driving, value, comfort, styling and climate and audio features.
Tesla says that the data used for the report is from six months ago and the brand has taken action to fix issues as soon as they become known.
“Not only are our cars the safest and best performing vehicles available today, but we take feedback from our customers very seriously and quickly implement improvements any time we hear about issues. That’s just one of the reasons why, in this very same survey from Consumer Reports, Model 3 was rated as the #1 most satisfying car, and why Tesla vehicles have topped Consumer Reports’ Owner Satisfaction survey every year since 2013 – the first year Tesla was included in it,” says a Tesla spokesperson.
“We’re setting an extremely high bar for Model 3. We have already made significant improvements to correct any issues that Model 3 customers may have experienced that are referenced in this report, and our return policy allows any customer who is unhappy with their car to return it for a full refund. This new data from Consumer Reports comes from their annual Owner Satisfaction survey, which runs from July through September, so the vast majority of these issues have already been corrected through design and manufacturing improvements, and we are already seeing a significant improvement in our field data.”

https://cleantechnica.com/2019/02/01/tesla-model-3-most-loved-car-in-usa/

For many years, Consumer Reports has conducted surveys of car owners. A key metric it uncovers is how satisfied owners are with their cars.
The Tesla Model S rose in stature after its introduction for taking the top spot in this competition — for becoming the most loved car according to these surveys of car owners. It then won that award year after year for a few years.
Hot news off the press (and found on Twitter thanks to Earl of Frunkpuppy) is that the Tesla Model 3 is now the most loved car in the USA according to these owner surveys.
The Model 3’s overall score is 92, which ties it with the Porsche 911, but the decimal points are presumably in favor of the Model 3 since Consumer Reports puts it at the top of the pile.
Naturally, there are potential issues with surveys like this. For example, if owners put a lot of money and emotion into a car, they may be more inclined to say they’re satisfied with it. On the flip side, though, some of them could be more easily disappointed and upset with any issues that pop up — expectations could be too high. We know that many Model 3 buyers stretched to buy a Model 3, and for many others, even if it wasn’t a difficult financial stretch, it was at least the most expensive car they’d ever bought (often, the most expensive by far). What that means in terms of this survey is uncertain, but it’s something to consider.
In any case, you can’t claim that the Model 3 taking the #1 spot is bad news, and you can’t really claim any longer that the Model 3 is plagued with problems that are irritating owners if it turns out Model 3 owners are the people happiest with their cars. In other words, those claims and assumptions appear to be nonsense.

So the owners of these cars are happier with them than any other car but consumer reports put them as low.... makes you wonder...

Probably it's because as Tesla say that when a problem is identified the company fixes the problem right away, that would make sense why the owners are so happy and satisfied Wink

Silly dumb Tesla Fan Girl Tweedledumb is going a bit wonky (is she really autistic after a VAX ?) as even someone as dumb as her can see her beloved unprofitable Tesla going under as the tsunami of new profitable REAL ELECTRIC CARS that the wheels don't fall off of sweeps over it.

Tesla is even preparing for the inevitable as it closes down its empty showrooms.

Piëch Automotive claims its electric supercar runs on a completely new type of battery. Is it a battery breakthrough? Not so fast.
By Andrew J. Hawkins Mar 5, 2019, 2:43pm EST

PIËCH

Electric car startup Piëch Automotive, named for legendary Volkswagen executive (and grandson of the founder of Porsche) Ferdinand Piëch, arrived at the Geneva Motor Show this week with an electric supercar and an interesting story to tell.

According to the company, the all-electric Mark Zero is powered by a new type of battery that will recharge to 80 percent in less than five minutes. If true, that represents a pretty incredible breakthrough in battery technology. But until we see some independent proof of this, we’ll reserve judgment.

Here’s how Piëch, which was co-founded by Ferdinand Piëch’s son Anton “Toni” Piëch along with Rea Stark Rajcic, describes its new battery tech:

The special type of cell hardly heats up during charging or discharging phases. Significantly higher currents can flow as the cell temperature rises only marginally. In addition to conventional CSC charging, the fast charging mode allows for a sensationally short charging time of only 4:40 minutes to 80% battery capacity with an exceptionally high recuperation rate. Because of the reduced heat build-up, the batteries can be cooled by air alone.

This method of air cooling helps Piëch to shave off 200 kilograms (441 pounds) of the vehicle’s total weight. This keeps the weight under 1,800 kilograms (4,000 pounds), which is still fairly heavy for a vehicle of that size.

PIËCH

PIËCH

And with a charging time way below most conventional EVs, the company is promising to bring recharging time on par with the time it takes to refill a conventional car with gasoline or diesel. When charged to a full 100 percent, the Mark Zero is able to deliver a full 311 miles (500 km) of range in the EU’s new WLTP cycle.

As for the powertrain, Piëch says that the vehicle is equipped with three electric motors: one front-axle asynchronous motor which delivers 150 kW, and two rear-axle synchronous motors to produce 150 kW each.

SPECULATION THAT PIËCH COULD BE THE UNNAMED BUYER OF ASTON MARTIN’S VANQUISH IP
There is speculation that Piëch could be the unnamed buyer of Aston Martin’s Vanquish intellectual property, but no confirmation. Last year, the luxury automaker sold the tooling and design drawings for its outgoing Vanquish supercar for £20 million ($26 million) to a “third-party car manufacturer,” and since then rumors have been circulating about the mysterious buyer. (Another possible candidate, Morgan, denied being the buyer to Automotive News last year, despite announcing plans to build a new model with specs that practically mirror those of the Vanquish.)

Piech EV has its batteries in the transmission tunnel, not the floorpan.
Aston Martin sold tooling to lastgen Vanquish to unnamed buyer.

There have been plenty of sky-high promises about batteries from EV startups over the years, but not much in the way of breakthroughs. That said, there’s plenty of room for improvement in the battery technology that powers electric cars. Tesla’s cars boast impressive speed and performance, but it’s not possible to fully charge the car in under an hour, even at one of the company’s many so-called “Supercharger” stations.

Piëch’s battery partner is the Hong Kong-based Desten Group, while China’s Qingdao Tgood  Electric Company will  contribute to the company’s plans for a charging infrastructure.

Piëch Automotive says the Mark Zero is the first in a “family of products” to be launched by the company over the next three years. The car’s vehicle architecture is “flexible and open,” which the startup says allows for a variety of drive systems like electric, hybrid, hydrogen fuel cell, or even old, polluting internal combustion engines.

The company says that they will announce a manufacturing partner later this year to bring the vehicle to market, to be followed by a four-seater and a sporty SUV.

The combination of very fast acceleration and lousy brakes means a foot mixup can easily be disastrous.

The simple truth is that Teslas are unsafe for unskilled drivers on a public street. Speed kills.

Te new profitable REAL ELECTRIC CARS will be much safer for the public.

Father of girl in fatal Tesla crash says it would not have happened in another car
By Steve Hanley Posted on February 12, 2017

What a mess!

In an exclusive interview with the Indianapolis Star, Jon Speckman said his daughter would still be alive if she had been driving any other car but a Tesla.

Casey Speckman, age 27, was killed in a fiery crash in Indianapolis a 1:00 am on November 2. Casey Speckman’s blood alcohol level was measured at 0.21%, far exceeding Indiana’s legal limit of 0.08%.

She was driving a Tesla Model S owned by her boss, Kevin McCarthy, 44, who was a passenger in the car. His blood alcohol level was reported to be 0.17%.

Jon Speckman has hired an attorney and is considering filing suit against Tesla. “Had she been in another vehicle she would have been alive for me to yell at her for driving after drinking,” Jon Speckman told the IndyStar. Speckman says he thinks Tesla has made a mistake by making a car as powerful as the Model S available to the public.

The police investigation after the crash revealed that another car had been traveling the wrong way on a one way street just prior to the accident. “This is a vehicle that travels from 0 to 60 in 3.1 seconds. She’s clearly having to swerve to miss a vehicle going the wrong way on a one-way street,” Speckman said. “If her foot should happen to hit the accelerator, it’s like a rocket ship. I don’t know why they have to make a car that does that.”

When Speckman began accelerating is not clear. A witness to the accident, Albert Finell, 81, was driving on the same street when he was passed by the Tesla. “It passed me like a flash,” Finnell told IndyStar in a telephone interview. “It hit that curb and plowed into that tree.” Finnell did not mention any other car driving the wrong way at the time.

“Before I could get out of my truck the car exploded,” Finnell said. “The parts of the car, engine and everything went up in the air. It was the most horrifying thing that I had ever seen.” Finnell says he drove north to get away from the falling debris when he heard a loud sound. “I thought something had hit my truck, but it had missed my truck,” Finnell said. “It was sitting out in the street. It was the wheel and axle assembly of the car.”

Tesla emailed this statement to the Indy Star on January 27. “We have been deeply saddened by this accident and have been working closely with authorities to facilitate their report. While it can be difficult to determine the precise speed of a vehicle in such a crash, the observed damage and debris field indicate a very high speed collision.”

The Indianapolis police department is still working to determine the actual speed of the car at the time of the crash. “I have full confidence that the authorities will come to the correct conclusion of what exactly happened to this vehicle,” Speckman said.

Silly dumb Tesla Fan Girl Tweedledumb is going a bit sick in the head (is she really autistic after a VAX ?) as her weak feeble mind just cannot cope with what is happening.

Classic Greeny type tries to make everything personal when her feeble Greeny mind just cannot understand the true facts.

Her feeble weak Greeny mind will never be able to understand the reality that "green energy" tech is too limited by the laws of physics to ever hope to displace the internal combustion engine or fossil-fuel-powered baseload electricity generation.

Another unsafe Tesla S loses a wheel. A very common failure now as the suspension is too weak to carry the heavy weight of the fire bomb Lithium battery.
