Does this mean they expect a roof to fly off even when things are done "correctly"? What happens when they make the inevitable mistake?
Normally I'd say this is a PR disaster but just like other companies which command blind, unwavering loyalty, Tesla can also afford such disasters knowing that opinions will stay the same no matter what. Whether you love them or hate them this will do nothing to change it. Tesla is a very emotional choice no matter which side of that choice you land on.
- drcongo 6y agoIsn't this kind of build quality standard with American cars though?
- bsagdiyev 6y agoNo. They don’t have their roof blow off, ever.
- ip26 6y agoRight- instead, some of them explode when involved in minor fender benders.
- bsagdiyev 6y agoSure if the Pinto was still made today, but it isn’t. The fact that Tesla is Pinto levels of bad 30+ years on from that incident is pathetic.
- bathtub365 6y agoDo you have a recent example of this?
- sleepybrett 6y agoNot american but approved and sold here, the sazuki samurai is a notable example of this kind of terrible design.
- ip26 6y agoMost recent I'm aware of is the early 2000's Crown Victoria, which is admittedly not a current model.
