I’ve long thought electric door latches are a solution in search of a problem. Doubly stupid because you still need a manual latch, so now you need two latches. 

There should be one handle per door, half pull - electronic, full pull mechanical.

The cabin is fully intact; crumple zones absorbed the impact forces. They burned to death.

That front release is well designed and intelligently placed. The rear one is fucking stupid, and makes me wonder if they had 2 separate departments designing the front and rear doors. 

“...EMERGENCY RELEASE LATCHES FOR THE MODEL Y’s REAR DOORS ARE HIDDEN BENEATH A MAT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE DOOR POCKET. ONCE THAT’S REMOVED, A RED TAB OPENS AN ACCESS HATCH THAT REVEALS AN EMERGENCY RELEASE CABLE...!”

The last words your fast-googling friend will scream in the seconds between the crash and you all burning

All my tiny violins broke.  Sorry.

Well, I know it sounds biased to make fun of the owners of these ridiculous monstrosities, but ferrous fair. 

Thoughts and prayers sent, I’m over it.

I’m confused...we’re butthurt that we don’t have vehicles that are total trash and look like a trash bin?

Don’t. No person who bought one of those things deserves any sympathy!

“Just pay me $8 grand for another wrap... problem solved!

I would call it schadenfreude, but that’s probably too big of a foreign word for you.

Given how easy they are to break, I think calling them a “trolling rollmobile” might be more accurate!

How unfortunate.

Something something messed around and are finding out. Sounds a lot like what’s going to happen over the next few years.

I want to feel sympathy for these people. I want to be a good person and look past our differences, acknowledging that everyone has different tastes and that’s okay. But...

Maybe don’t buy a rolling trollmobile and this wouldn’t happen.

i can get a costco membership for $60 CAD and save $0.10 per litre. That’s $60 saved.

You’re only saving if: 1) BP is already within 9 cents of the price of its nearest competitor in your neighborhood or 2) you buy from BP preferentially for some reason (i.e. convenient location).

The scammers know the police ain’t coming.
