Tesla argued he could have optioned his car with ceramic breaks even though they did not sell them until 10 months after he purchased his car. What a joke of a company, all they can do it lie and deceive.

> We got the error message that the bakes were too hot while under braking for the first corner (after the warmup lap) at Rudskogen Motorcenter. A Chevy Chevette would do better.  > Normally, this is where The Drive would reach out to the automaker’s PR department for a comment, but Tesla doesn’t have one of those. 💀

Why would anyone want to take a Model S on the track? They wallow in corners like pigs in Mud

See, in America you're free to keep your shitty car. None of those socialist, woke consumer protections for us!! Freedom! 'Merica! Ain't it Great!

Fair Point but desperate why risk being upside down in a burning tesla

The first time they tried to compare the Porsche Taycan to the Model S they had to wave it off because the Tesla cooked its brakes before it completed a lap. It was the embarrassment of how badly Porsche dominated them that led them to offer a ceramic brake package as a $10,000 upgrade.

When Elon wanted his bonus, I saw a comment that stuck with me. "The company is built on bullshit, and Elon was the one doing all the bullshitting."

We do have lemon laws and recalls all the time. I get your point but don’t be so dramatic

1. Buy lots of TSLA 2. Die in a Tesla fire and have news report on it 3. ???? 4. TSLA stock price soars on bad news, make tons of profit.

The Model S can't even drive in a straight line at high speed without driver input. One road test describe the car as '"terrifying" to drive.

I’ve been racing my whole life. I’ll drive anything on a track. I had an A8 TDI. I used that at a track weekend just for kicks. I have no desire to own a Tesla, but if I did I’d immediately take it to the track. I would be alarmed if it couldn’t manage a lap. I would not, however, buy a Tesla with the intent of regularly tracking it.

>Normally, this is where The Drive would reach out to the automaker’s PR department for a comment, but Tesla doesn’t have one of those. That line was probably my favourite one in the whole article.

I don't doubt you can get a Tesla S round a lap, I am sure I could, but it would be shit, I know someone who has spent \~$40K trying to sort out the suspension & it is still shit.

In the US Tesla forces buyers into arbitration with judges whose salary they pay which is why you rarely see them losing. Can't do that fuckery here.
