I would expect this kind of poor build quality from a $35k car, but not a Model3

I will throw a party, and you will be invited, when he goes to a jail or ends up bankrupt. I’m quite frankly embarrassed by our human race counterparts who continue to follow him blindly, like a lemming jumping off of a cliff, even after the wool has been continually pulled over their eyes

This panel has been known by the state of California to cause Cancer. Best to get rid of it, (and the rest of that car) just to be sure

But unlike our forefathers, Tesla owners don’t know what a hardware store is, the difference between a self tapping sheet metal screw and a nail, or what end of a screwdriver to use 

Weight reduction by means of a self-deploying parachute was the only way Tesla could get that piece of shit to stop faster than an F150

Wow. Sandy Munro AND Consumer Reports both missed this

Dear Sandy Munro: Your mysterious change of tune on the Model 3 and complete “miss” on something as glaring as this is suspect to say the least. Would not be surprised at all if someone like FElon Musk paid you off

How much better is it than anything coming out of Fremont?

Good. I can’t wait to see fElon fail.

Tesla & Elon’s story is eerily similar to the now-defunct Buell and Erik Buell.

Wondering if this wasn’t fElon’s idea. I wouldn’t be surprised if private investors approached him and said the only way they would invest in the company is if it went private. If this is true, my prediction is they would have a controlling stake in the company and probably demote him to be Tesla’s creative genius but…

What are you talking about?

At my current job there’s ~1400 people and I’d assume half of whom are engineers or recovering Engineers in a different path now. There’s only a handful of entrances so most people tend to congregate near the entrances and the rest of the spots naturally fill in. Well in the furthest corner of the lot there’s an…

Every place I’ve worked has been dominated by engineers, and guess what you see in the parking lot.

Not an M3, but I picked up a 328is this spring. M-Tech package (///M bumpers, steering wheel, and shifter), Dinan Power Pack (intake, exhaust, and tune), Mishimoto radiator and expansion tank, and upgraded suspension bits.

VW ruined it for the rest of them. 90s Bmws and Mercs were very reliable, especially the E36 and W201

I wonder if this ruling already exists in Memphis, because drivers in that city drive like they have no incentive not to commit traffic violations

Similar story; my 2004 TL (6MT!) just turned over 180k miles and the brake dust shields started rattling; long story short, I replaced the entire front suspension and drove my E36 for the past 8 weeks while I worked on the TL. No keyless entry (have to use the key to lock & unlock), the ignition tumbler broke so I…

I agree there are some head-scratchers on Bimmers. Like the plastic water pump impeller, and pulleys, and radiator end tanks, and expansion tanks, and the fan, and the list goes on. Using any plastic component that will undergo stress in a high-heat environment is a recipe for disaster. However, 3rd party support has…

As an E36 owner, there is a difference between “durable” and “reliable”. Also, the term “reliable” is being stretched; what it meant 40 years ago is no longer applicable by today’s standards.
