You're driving your Tesla on a ROAD??
They are art pieces, not functional automobiles!!

Teslas all have a sticker found behind the front bumper that says "For entertainment purposes only" so they can't be held accountable when their cars fall apart.

Holy poo poo, that's really not an acceptable failure of *design.* That cast piece is definitely not thick enough around that area. From the quoted article it sounds like a lot of the suspension components are really not stout enough, and that's not a "power steering" failure, those are suspension and wheel hub failures.

This further reinforces my opinion that Teslas are adequate but rather cheap cars and nowhere near the Luxury Grade that their price range commands.

"the suspension or axle might just break at any point" is "adequate" to you?

My biggest complaint with those is if someone is changing lanes or otherwise getting out of your way, the car will start beeping or even braking if you are moving at a speed that would cause a collision if they don't end up moving out of the way.

But honestly the car is right about that. It's less risky to keep a distance that won't require sudden braking or turning if the person in front of you changes their mind.

yeah i think once it has been standard equipment on most cars for like 10+ years it is probably a net positive for road safety. like if all the cars behind you also have it, great. but getting to that point seems more dangerous along the way

Lol that driving your Tesla to work will make the suspension and wheels crack to pieces and the manufacturers response has been "that's actually your fault"

Also most of the owners would most likely say they'd buy a Tesla again

Oh 100%, you see this so often anymore. People don't understand that this phrase doesn't automatically denote "freedom of consequences". That and woke (especially anymore) are the loving go-to's and it's just become so sad and transparent.

(Reuters) -Tesla is not offering its employees yearly merit-based stock awards, Bloomberg News reported on Tuesday.

Tesla did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for comment.

The news comes after United Auto Workers union said in November it is launching a first-of-its-kind push to publicly organize the entire nonunion auto sector in the U.S., including Tesla, after winning new contracts with the Detroit Three automakers.

It's all true. As an illegal immigrant to the United States I was given a first class ticket to a mansion in the Hamptons for a weekend where I was given a selection of pale beautiful nordic stock white women to defile with my poisoned immigrant seed in the government's industrial effort to replace the white race.

Anyway after that weekend of fun I got booted down to the south and now I work under the table at some farm now where I live in absolute poverty.
