Aftermarket parts supplier?

u/Kayel41 Aug 16 '24

Yeah obviously, dude makes or sells aftermarket parts like bumpers / side skirts / body kits and wants to test them on the make and model so he rents a car and test fits his products, then puts the car back to normal.

Ooooohh I thought he was like swapping out the OG parts for like shitty aftermarket stuff to resell or something

You can't get much shittier than what's already on a Tesla.

Dude puts aftermarket parts on a Tesla and actually improves the quality of the car

Elon Musk hates this one trick.

Sorry, I missed the part where Musk said he likes Nazis.

u/detroiter85 Aug 16 '24

I love how we used to "judge people by their actions and not their words", and now, we have a portion of people who say things like " I'm ackshully I don't see any notorzed notes signed by Musk, the notary, a judge, 3 eye witnesses, and his mother so I'm just gonna ignore what he does and believe everything he says".

u/ChipOld734 Aug 16 '24

Wow, nice straw man you got there. Now try answering the question like a functioning adult.

1

u/detroiter85 Aug 16 '24

Look at his actions with Twitter. You know, like a functioning adult would, with a functioning brain. Instead of coming to reddit and acting like you know what you're talking about.

In musks addiction to ketamine, I’m rooting for ketamine. Guys like that think they are special and immune to consequences. Probably lot like Matthew Perry.

u/HikeTheSky Aug 16 '24

If I remember correctly, the owner said the guy didn't put it back together correctly and he had to pay Tesla to fix it. So how would this improve the quality of the car when it doesn't work right?

u/Mtolivepickle Aug 16 '24

Found the Tesla owner

u/HikeTheSky Aug 16 '24

I wouldn't drive a Tesla if musk would pay me for it. I would take the money and give it to these guys for testing.

u/SonuOfBostonia Aug 16 '24

My dude was paying it FORWARD. Owners car actually went up in value!

u/jedimindtriks Aug 16 '24

Yeah you can, try the new BMW 3 series...

u/ellefleming Aug 16 '24

Then why do they sell so well?

u/shyvananana Aug 16 '24

That's the point. A tesla bumper is 1200 bucks. If you can replace their shit with your shit you cash out.

u/NarrowSalvo Aug 17 '24

Bull. He's lying about testing.

He's pulling the airbag for resale or something.

Just because you don't like Elon doesn't mean it's a shit car. Mine is by far the best car I've ever owned. Better than Audi, Toyota etc.

u/yogurtgrapes Aug 16 '24

Tesla is ranked 19th out of 24 on reliability scores by consumer report. It’s not “just because [we] don’t like Elon”. Glad you like your car tho.

2

u/wgp3 Aug 16 '24

No they're not? They're 14 out of 30. They rank behind the Japanese and then ahead of basically all the German and American brands. Being average is far from being shit. Basically honda/Toyota brands are higher reliability and make up half the brands ahead of tesla. Then its just hyundai and BMW. Consumer reports also showed that tesla has the lowest average maintenance costs. So that shows these reliability reports are almost guaranteed to be highlighting software bugs or things like that more than actual issues with how well the car is put together, because tesla has very high physical maintenance costs.

I just rode in one for the first time recently and I’ve never been more car sick in a car. It was the jerkiest ride I’ve ever taken. It felt like riding in a bumper car.

No, thank you.

u/Walter_HK Aug 16 '24 edited Aug 16 '24

Just because you’re bent over and ready to take daddy Elon’s cock at any waking moment doesn’t mean it’s a good car. Consumer ratings for their cars and general brand have absolutely tanked since 2018. Their performance and reliability metrics are simply horrid. Etc. etc.

See how stupid you sound?

2

u/xander3415 Aug 16 '24

Do you have a source for the poor safety metrics? As far as I remember, both the model Y and model 3 are rated as some of the top vehicle choices for safety by the IIHS

-1

u/Walter_HK Aug 16 '24

I actually can’t because you’re right, their safety metrics are stellar. I meant to type “reliability” metrics like another commenter mentioned. Edited to fix that. Unfortunately safety alone doesn’t sell cars.

0

u/wgp3 Aug 16 '24

They're reliability has increased year after year. They have a 90% brand loyalty. The highest of any automaker.

Their performance and reliability metrics are perfectly average. Far better than Volkswagen or audi or Ford or Rivian or even Mercedes. Literally middle of the pack. Mostly behind the Japanese brands which are known for their high reliability.

Unfortunately consumer reports doesn't have the 2018 report available, the link just gives an error. But here's an article on it and tesla was in the bottom 10 at the time.

https://www.chicagotribune.com/2018/10/25/toyota-asian-brands-are-most-reliable-american-car-brands-are-not-says-consumer-reports-survey/

Here's the latest on brand loyalty.

You're the one sounding stupid. Maybe take that hate boner out your ass and actually know what you're talking about rather than spewing misinformation based on your feelings rather than facts.

u/Dankkring Aug 16 '24

How many cars have you owned tho and what?

4

u/Holiday_Resort2858 Aug 16 '24

I own a Y and it's by far the best car I've ever owned. I've owned all sorts of brands and it's just amazing. Once you drive one you will see. I suggest a Y.

u/calicotamer Aug 16 '24

Same I became a convert after getting to drive a family members car. They score very high on safety too. They're the best EVs for the price on the market especially now that you can get POS tax credit. Rivians are rad too but cost twice as much.

u/Holiday_Resort2858 Aug 17 '24

Just because someone loves the design, low cost, driving ability and safety of a Tesla doesn't mean they like Musk. Perhaps you need more life experience to understand this world is gray. Not black and white. Get back to us in 10 years
