Try to get a wrecked Tesla and rebuild it. Tesla doesn't allow it.


Plenty of videos on YT of this. I recommend Rich Rebuilds


It is allowed but Tesla will disable supercharging for any salvage title tesla. That basically makes it a paperweight and only able to be charged slowly overnight. If you want to rebuild one to just drive around your city and never take it more than 100 miles anywhere go for it.

This is one incredible Tesla story. Now tell us the literal hundreds of stories about how Ford, Chevy and Dodge probably somehow fricked over their various customers today.

Ive never heard where Ford Chevy or Dodge from one day to the next fricked someone out of an extra 80 miles per tank on their cars/ trucks. Maybe go back to sucking on ole Joe's tits will make you feel better?

I drive a good 50/60+ miles a day. My power bill is only an extra $50/month.

And you should be paying a mileage tax equal to gas taxes.

Anyone who willingly buys a car with DRM deserves everything bad that comes with it.

This is why I would never own a Tesla, I don’t want unknown people being able to monkey with it…

To be consistent, that means you are not buying any new vehicles except something off of Ali Baba

Part of what bothers me about Tesla is the remote involvement

They can make changes to the vehicle without you knowing once you sign their consent form

Every dealership updates software when you go in unless you explicitly tell them not to and even then they still might do it and refuse to reflash back because frick it why not.

ForeverEllisHugh is one of the dumbest posters on this board. OweO provides more thoughtful commentary on here than that guy.
