The article says there are 8k miles left on the warranty, so they drove it 42k.

OK. I don’t like to mention this too much because I fear they’ll close the loophole soon. But the outlying counties in CA do NOT require bi-annual smog check:

I thiiiink this is the right answer. You guys have some draconian laws down there though.

Yes, please ask him! I am very interested in how it was done.

“This is extremely common when manufacturing processes and tolerances are dialed in...”

No a puddle didn’t pull it off. Water spray was allowed to collect in the bumper until that combined with bad clip design/installation made it fall off.

Trust me, nobody around here gives FCA a free pass on anything.  They’re consistently the butt of jokes.  You probably don’t want to use them as a comparison to Tesla.

I know someone who’s 3 had leaks in the trunk. Tesla had to replace the entire trim around the trunk. Probably would have shown up in a few seconds of a water test, since it literally left a gallon or more in the trunk when it rained

It was a flight from Quebec.  They didn’t give a shit.

Seriously, everything I’ve read about this is pre-spun for a civil damages suit. She was moderately inconvenienced and partially at fault. I hope she’s merely fairly compensated.

“Maybe Air Canada can look into compensating for some therapy.”

I guess they hadn’t discovered a fraction of his assets yet at the time of that reporting. That article says there were a lot more wealth than they found that day. The radio also reported he was a “mid-level drug dealer”. I’m guessing the whole kingpin part of it and his many businesses were either deemed legally…

That is so weird. Last summer, I looked at the house just to the left of this guy’s house.  Nice to see the 101 was also a mess back then.  

Oh my god it even has music that is so iconic that they used it in Guardians of the Galaxy.

A spoiler spoils lift by deflecting the entire flow. A wing generates lift, usually downward for cars, via an angled and/or airfoil plate.
