Leave it to Tesla to fuck up having patio furniture.

tightestvaginaever 2025-07-29 17:45

How long until it locks everyone inside and catches on fire?

Inside-Welder-3263 2025-07-29 17:46

The patio covering was engineered to a one micron tolerance. It was, without a doubt, the most advanced patio covering in the history of the world.

m0ka5 2025-07-29 17:46

They have a great history with glue! Did Elmo leave the lid open after taking some breaths?

WHALE_BOY_777 2025-07-29 17:46

Everything they build needs to have a way to kill their customers or it's not aligned with the brand image.

Lacrewpandora 2025-07-29 17:47

Kind of tracks with the Tesla theme - random parts flying off in the wind.

tryatriassic 2025-07-29 17:47

This is very on brand! Consistency!

Complete-Appeal8572 2025-07-29 17:48

Diner has same build quality as a Cybertruck.

[deleted] 2025-07-29 17:50

Jesus Christ, i'm staying AWAY from that death trap.

CompoteDeep2016 2025-07-29 17:51

Not just the burgers come in little cybertrucks, the whole fucking place is cybertruck quality build. I'm laughing so hard right now

[deleted] 2025-07-29 17:51

LMFAO

Tind_L_Laylor 2025-07-29 17:51

Remember when that illegal X sign on the Twitter building fell down within days of its... uh... erection? This guy can't do anything right.

itsjaylin 2025-07-29 17:52

Hope she actually goes to the hospital or that lawsuit may not be as fruitful as she thinks

Drink_noS 2025-07-29 17:53

Incoming 250 million dollar lawsuit for traumatic brain injury.

zitrored 2025-07-29 17:53

Tesla finds new ways to really mess up. They need to just focus on cars, improving the supervised driving experience, build up the battery business, expand charging networks, and fire Elmo. I know that means the stock drops to $15 per share but at least Tesla will have a better more focused and possibly longer future.

crazy0ne 2025-07-29 17:58

Only if it was Giga-injection molded in a hypertube vacuum...

Silver-Confidence-60 2025-07-29 17:58

Doesn’t look too high hopefully the can access the rooftop and jump in the event of 🔥

Janky_Forklift 2025-07-29 17:58

Lmao she probably didn’t pay for the upgraded software that keeps it from falling.

SpectrumWoes 2025-07-29 18:00

MFW there’s a sheet of paper with 4 point font saying that by ordering food you agree to arbitration for any injuries you receive on premises

Inside-Welder-3263 2025-07-29 18:02

Or she tweeted something mean about Elon and how insecure he is.

CldStoneStveIcecream 2025-07-29 18:02

That’s patio hardware 4.

TriccepsBrachiali 2025-07-29 18:03

How? I thought Elmo knew more about manufacturing than anyone on the planet

y4udothistome 2025-07-29 18:03

Let the lawsuits begin

xMagnis 2025-07-29 18:03

Who would have thought a giant metal screen needed more than a 1" wide metal bracket attaching it to the pole. I think this needs a mechanical recall. One little rivet should do. Worked so well on the Cybertruck.

MarchMurky8649 2025-07-29 18:03

"It barely missed our baby’s head by inches" - watch as Musk spins this into a huge win, claiming Tesla's CyberCovering™ deploys patented AI-powered trolley-problem optimisation technology, which caused it to swerve mid-collapse to hit the mother's head instead of the baby's. Perhaps he'll send a bill for $8000 to the family, too, for making use of it.

ExpressLaneCharlie 2025-07-29 18:04

Elon will sue her now.

ADDSquirell69 2025-07-29 18:05

Glued together

abbeyroad_39 2025-07-29 18:07

Seems like the cybertruck is the perfect mascot for this place.

TheFoxsWeddingTarot 2025-07-29 18:08

It is a multi planet patio covering.

Initial_Ad2228 2025-07-29 18:09

They must of used the same glue the cyberfuck is held together with. When will everyone wake up and run from this dog shit company.

rhedfish 2025-07-29 18:09

Discovery might be interesting. Hoping for lawsuits from neighbors behind those stupid screens.

Ok-Elevator302 2025-07-29 18:10

FSD disable at it falls I presume

sudden_onset_kafka 2025-07-29 18:11

On brand. Everything he does turns out to be cheap trash

carriedmeaway 2025-07-29 18:13

Who’s actually surprised? That man is such a sloppy mess!

MarchMurky8649 2025-07-29 18:13

"Tesla's security team reviewed surveillance footage and confirmed the strike on video." At first glance that read to me like the report of something successful, like a military drone strike that worked out, and imagined that scene you always see when a SpaceX rocket has blown up, and all Musk's sycophantic, infantile-looking, permagrinning staff are huddled in a huge mass, jumping up and down, with the sound of celebratory screaming filling the air.

SC_W33DKILL3R 2025-07-29 18:13

Classic Trsla

Afraid_Sample1688 2025-07-29 18:14

FSD disconnected 2 seconds before it hit her - so she should have taken control and dodged it herself.

deadlyspoons 2025-07-29 18:14

The terms & conditions of being seated at the Tesla Cafe include a section that states that one second before impact any patio furniture or piece thereof becomes your personal property and thus Tesla cannot be liable for you getting domed by your own stuff.

redtron3030 2025-07-29 18:14

It’s an engineering issue so totally makes sense.

swishkabobbin 2025-07-29 18:15

They went with the full self diving overhang

jason12745 2025-07-29 18:16

Diner with a security team.

MoltoPesante 2025-07-29 18:20

Good luck with that lawsuit. If Teflon Tesla can weasel out of suits from autopilot smashing into stationary vehicles or inescapable cybertrucks burning their occupants alive they aren’t going to be all that bothered by a bump on the head from mis-installed patio furniture.

tryatriassic 2025-07-29 18:20

Like I said, very consistent!

DocCEN007 2025-07-29 18:22

On Brand!

lagonitos 2025-07-29 18:24

It might be worth checking the public record to see if the diner’s opening inspection is up to snuff. Holding temperatures, hand washing stations, sanitizer concentration, food storage sanitation, hairnets. That sort of thing. Makes you wonder.

memoryisntram 2025-07-29 18:26

“I still love the patio but…” tweet incoming

LokeCanada 2025-07-29 18:26

This was not Tesla's fault. The support was disengaged .5 seconds before collision. Due to this the patio cover was under operator control prior to the accident and was not self supporting. Tesla's patio furniture self support has a zero failure rate based on all filed incident reports.

FrogmanKouki 2025-07-29 18:26

I heard it was manufactured by the most advanced alien dreadnaught of a factory where wind resistance is the only constraint.

HeavenHasTrampolines 2025-07-29 18:27

Teslas are the modern day duck boats FR

FrogmanKouki 2025-07-29 18:27

[deleted] 2025-07-29 18:27

There are definitely going to be plastic bits (not metal-this is Tesla we're talking about here) in the food.

FrogmanKouki 2025-07-29 18:28

That's what I say while passing cybertrucks on the interstate

Charming-Tap-1332 2025-07-29 18:29

Elon will probably sue the women for defamation or some other ridiculous claim.

MarchMurky8649 2025-07-29 18:29

I rarely, literally, laugh out loud when reading things online. I did when I read your post, well done!

purplebrown_updown 2025-07-29 18:30

They can't even create a diner that's safe. God what a joke.

jcrazy78 2025-07-29 18:32

Blame the media. Somehow.

dtyamada 2025-07-29 18:32

On one hand I feel bad for them, on the other hand they went to a Tesla restaurant. What did they expect if not shoddy construction and flying parts?

vic25qc 2025-07-29 18:33

Would be a nice bet on Polymarket

MarchMurky8649 2025-07-29 18:34

The whole thing looks like they just did it all, in a hurry, without any kind of planning or approvals. Those screens in front of nearby residents' balconies, for example. You'd need planning consent to erect those in the UK, which would take ages, there'd be a consultation process, those affected would, understandably, object, and permission would be refused. You must have similar processes in the US, so, presumably, Musk just ignored all the rules, and got everyone involved to get it built ridiculously quickly and opened it.

Inside-Welder-3263 2025-07-29 18:34

He will sue her for not getting guacamole on her quesadilla for $5 extra and call it illegal collusion on the part of woke customers.

Da_Stable_Genius 2025-07-29 18:37

TIL there's a Tesla restaurant. WTF

Drink_noS 2025-07-29 18:37

I have no clue how nimbys don’t care about huge screens larger than the apartment building being built but a low cost housing development thousands of retired nimbys will be out protesting at 10 am.

JustAFlexDriver 2025-07-29 18:38

Roadgoddess 2025-07-29 18:43

Nice to know that the restaurant is built with the fine exacting level of quality that the cyber truck is built with

jason12745 2025-07-29 18:44

https://bsky.app/profile/lazarou.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy/post/3lusuzrhihyb2 No inspection needed.

sac_cyclist 2025-07-29 19:22

So emblematic of the company.. the roof is collapsing all around them

totpot 2025-07-29 19:25

The patio covering clips disengaged 2 seconds before crashing down, and the woman failed to take evasive action after disengagement. Therefore, Tesla is absolved of all liability.

Janky_Forklift 2025-07-29 19:27

The “Hot potato” defense. 60% of the time it works…every time.

coozehound3000 2025-07-29 19:30

Some even say it’s the most beautiful patio covering they’ve ever seen. Actually a lot of people are saying it.

belinck 2025-07-29 19:34

Hardware 6 is the neural implant that auto-orders food and deploys a Inspector Gadget umbrella out of your skull to keep the sun off. Currently installed on 8 human test subjects, only 7 of which have died.

za72 2025-07-29 19:37

rex_kreuzen 2025-07-29 19:39

Big_Quality_838 2025-07-29 19:39

“built like a Tesla”

Inside-Welder-3263 2025-07-29 19:41

You're thinking too small. The patio covering addressable market is at least $100T yearly. If Tesla even got 20% of that, rhe stock would be $1,000,000.

Fuzzy_Inevitable9748 2025-07-29 19:49

The protesting is valid, not much else they can do since it is probably just a fine, be like Bezos and his 18ft high fence around his place where he just pays the fine to have it.

BrewAllTheThings 2025-07-29 19:50

To be fair to this - it added 80 superchargers in area with a lot of electric cars. Like I’m super torn on using it but it’s 80 more chargers than I had 2 weeks ago.

xMagnis 2025-07-30 00:08

I really wouldn't be surprised at all if they designed these patio covers themselves in-house. The bracket looks under-strength which would be on par with Tesla engineering. Or it failed to be tightened, which is also typical Tesla fitment.

xMagnis 2025-07-30 00:11

Likely a pay-off, hush up, and NDA And we'll never hear of it again.

A patio umbrella bracket isn't much bigger but it is symmetrical. Tesler has to use a cantilevered single point attachment to be cool and new when the normal solution is something that has hundreds of years of proven use.

They’re a “tech company”, not a patio furniture company. So totally not their fault.

pegothejerk 2025-07-31 13:11

People already reported feeling ill after eating there and there were boxes of food seen sitting outside in the back in the sun. Lots of reasons to stay away.

puppinstuff 2025-07-31 16:58

Wait…this “patio furniture” from the article looks like a giant circular shade cloth attached by two points of contact to flimsy metal braces? So it is a giant fucking sail to be caught by the wind and swung around like a hammock on a breezy day? Like how can you fuck this up that bad?

Temporary_Cry_2802 2025-08-01 03:20

It was built by Optomus construction robots. Monitored by the Tesla taxi team.
