can we do this in the US too please
i’m already boycotting but mostly because am broke >:3
Of course we can! I’m doing it (although similar situation to you, I have never desired to own a Tesla)
So if you had the money you’d buy a tesla?
did u read my comment? no lol
gut so
They’re just not great cars, or are very climate sensitive. I’m in Malaysia, and I heard from a tow truck operator that he towed 40 teslas himself, last year alone. Mind you it’s a premium product compared to the Chinese alternatives, and have local dealers, so these are not refurb/ recon jobs.
Anyone got anecdotes from more temperate/ arctic regions? I hear batteries don’t do well in the cold, so my note is really weird for a tropical climate.
Teslas are very popular in Norway and I’ve seen plenty of YouTube channels of Norwegians that praise the Tesla for their cold weather performance. Maybe it’s the humid tropical climate where they fail. The batteries also don’t do well when they are too warm. Maybe the Tesla can’t properly cool the batteries down in warm humid weather.

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.
You better believe it!
