A Tesla Owner Speaks

A Tesla Owner Speaks

Well, here's some owner testimony for you. This guy bought a new Model S – an $80,000 car. He was champing at the bit to get the keys. He most definitely did not have any ax to grind.

This does not bode well for Elon – whose company this week had to 'fess up to a hemorrhagic cash bleed – $671 million, the worst yet.

Wait. It is going to get even worse.

Many of the "issues" detailed by the unhappy owner in the video – swirls in the paint, poor panel fitment, squeaks and rattles – may not seem major to the casual reader.

And wouldn't be  . .  . if it were 1978.

In those days, it was actually common for even luxury-brand cars to have swirls in the paint, poor panel fitment, squeaks and rattles. The general quality control was terrible and people had much lower expectations. Cars routinely fell apart – or began to – within sight of the dealer's lot. And within five years of leaving the lot, almost all of them were looking hairy and feeling worse.

For what a Model S does (good electric range, supercar acceleration, highly advanced technology and features like self driving) I wouldn't mind too much the problems. Then again I wouldn't spend 80K on a car so my opinion doesn't matter that much.

You have to wonder how they'll get good quality on the Model 3, though.

Being European, American cars, which for the most part are not sold here, have a reputation for poor quality, even the high-end ones like Cadillac. Considering how much cars German carmakers sell in the US, this seem to be accepted by US people too.

Maybe Tesla is working too much on the new technology, and is forgetting about the car.

Electric is the future no doubt it's just not ready yet.  Battery tech needs to advance significantly first both increased capacity and massively reduced charging times.

Try rewinding the electric motor with extremely fine wire, that is extremely well insulated. Then run your motor with 50,000 volts of electricity, probably generated by a spark-gap system.

That's what Ed Gray did in 1973, and the results came close to over-unity... perpetual motion or better.

Tesla is simply playing with us. If they weren't, they would develop the Gray motor, and we almost wouldn't need any fuel at all.

Google "Ed Gray electric motor." Go here http://www.free-energy.ws/gray.html for starters.

Elon Musk has proved many times that he is a fraud of the highest order. His only aim is to earn as much money as he can by selling the Tesla shares, before it gets delisted due to bankruptcy. His Space X is another enormous scam. He couldn't compete with the Russians and therefore he banned the Russian rocket engines by bribing McCain.

Perhaps we should send him to Mars on one of his rockets.

Yes. After a while electric cars will be cheaper than gasoline

Electric car like Tesla for me has a superb performance. I once tried and ride with it in Chona.  Definitely with no pollution coming from the car.  Tested with excellent performance.
