    I heard from a tow truck operator that he towed 40 teslas himself

    Why was he towing them?

    You make it sound like they were randomly failing and not involved in accidents etc

      I used to own a Model X. 13 failures in 4 years, including 3 where the car was just dead and needed rescuing.

      They’re cheap cars, badly made. They do just die.

      I no longer own a Model X.

      If it was for accidents, the other brands would also have similar stats, moreso since teslas are also fairly rare over here compared to byd, and even bmw and mercs electirc lines.

      We’ll have to wait for clarification from him but I’m pretty sure that’s exactly what he means.
