    Well let’s not be too hasty here…

    I really despise most everything about him but if Elon were to actually pay me and give me a free car I’d very likely take it. I mean I have principles but I’m not an idiot.

      Yeah, you are. The fucking death traps with doors that won’t open in a crash and unless you know where the secret escape hatch is you are cremated.

      Tesla just fucking lost a lawsuit about this.

      Get that free asbestos sweater while you’re at it.

        I thought that was just the Cybertruck, which yes, I wouldn’t drive even if someone gave me one. I’d flip it and buy something else.

        I think both the sedan and roadster are okay electric cars, and I think they have enough range I could use them to reduce the amount of gas I burn in my Volt for longer trips.

        But, I haven’t really been paying attention to Tesla recently, and Elmu has certainly been looking horrible to me.

          The problem is the door locks are electric, so if the car loses low voltage power, the buttons to open the doors no longer work. Worse yet, the Model 3 only has emergency physical latches in the front seats, so good luck in the back, kids.
