Guy gets rid of Tesla because of worn tires and scary RWD

tesla appeals to normies that don't care about cars
and normies are very, very uninformed about cars
one thing leads to another

americans are fucking stupid

This must be the big IQ drop you hear so often about these days.

This is exactly the reason why giving normalfags high power cars is a bad idea.
Probably also a reason why they're pushing so hard for computer assisted driving, because people got so dumbed down, they don't have a basic feeling/knowledge of physics anymore.

The only problem is that those numales and soccermoms usually survive in their new Teslas and huge ass SUVs while a family in their pre 2000 cars get mauled.

I'm considering getting my sister a tesla as a wedding present. Are there any comparable hybrid or all electric vehicles to consider along with the tesla line? She is a yoga pants Kombucha normie, btw.

>>17497965

Bro if you want to get her a nice car, just get her something like a Lexus CT200H. They retail brand new for $25,000 out the door (taxes and all other meme fees included), based on the Prius but with a stiffer chassis, more luxurious interior, and even safer, and get great fuel economy (50mpg). It's a smarter purchase than a piece of shit Tesla

lmao that's literally last gen Prius tech. just get the Toyota and don't be a badgefag. it's legitimately the better car.

Unfortunately a lot of these ""car"" channels thrive on these controversial, stupid videos.

Why don't teslas have traction and stability control to cut power when wheelspin is detected etc etc

>>17497999
they do. as explained in the video it's a defective sensor causing wheelspin because it isn't limiting torque for normies.

But then again he doesn't seem like he's actually clever.

So, if his next car is a new Tesla, you will have the proof of your theory.
But to be honest I don't see the point in staying up to date with this idiot's life so I will have forgotten about him in probably in a couple minutes

>>17498004
Oh, I didn't even bother watching it because I don't watch clickbait shit.

I wonder what's inside his brain. Air or water?

>>17497999

They do.
His did.
They were broken.

The tire sensors were broken for four months while the dealership waited to get parts.

He was doing unintentional burnouts for four months or more and is complaining that his rear tires are bald after only having them for eight months.

>>17497999
Normies are too stupid to handle a high power RWD vehicle, even with traction control
You're too stupid to even handle a low power RWD vehicle

>>17498022
He could also have, you know, eased the throttle

At the very least he could gotten the car up on jackstans and rotated the damn tires. An electric impact wrench from Harbor Freight is what? $50?

OP, the kind of people who pay that kind of money for a car like that - don't ever like to get dirty working on their cars. It's beneath them to do so. If they can't pay someone to get dirty under the car for them, then they start getting snippy, like this cuck is doing.

>>17498050

But, Anon:

"It spun the tires even when I wasn't trying to drive fast! Sometimes I drive fast, but even when I wasn't trying to, they would spin!"

>>17498024
Rotating a car with brakes can occur with fwd or rwd, layout doesn't matter, entering a turn with excessive braking will cause rotation, fwd or rwd.

I also noticed this. Everyone who is talking about self driving cars and calling human drivers a thing of the past is a terrible driver or doesn't know how to drive at all.

>won't get his tires rotated

the tires are probably staggered, so you can't simply just rotate them...

This is exactly why we should instate an IQ-based requirement for horsepower in a car, with each IQ point giving 1.5-2 horsepower. I know you all will be upset that you'll have to downgrade to 150 horsepower, but it is for your own safety.

Maybe if you are good enough, I'll let you ride in my 600 horsepower behemoth. No driving though, that is against the rules.

>>17498235
high iq just means you have more knowledge than someone of average intelligence on the scale. IE someone at 30 with an IQ of 150 posses the knowledge of a 45 y/o. it has little to do with being a brainiac.

He didnt want RWD. He didnt want all that HP.

>>17498495
you realize a car that doesn't deform in a high velocity crash is a fuckton less safe than one that does?

old cars without modern engineering structural safety features are death traps. get in a head on collision in a 1940s ford and die as you're impaled on your steering wheel, or your engine flies through the cabin and smashes you on it's way out the trunk.

>Getting rid of a car because he can't drive RWD and is to fucking dumb to get the car's tires rotated.

>>17498529

He tries to create a reason for himself to justify getting rid of the car because his wife cant stop bitching about that one time she got scared.

>>17497870
He's right about the tires, they looked pretty worn out and they were just 8 months old.
Also It's seems like all weather tires and not summer

>>17498527
no shit fucking retard. not my point.

if you look at most new cars today, they're all getting "good" or better IIHS ratings even in small overlap. anything below that is unacceptable in today's standards to people. after they revised their car in an attempt to get a better rating and still fucking bombed the test, they now claim IIHS testing methods aren't good

Working in a shop where we serviced teslas, yes, all tesla fags are stupid.

In fact, one guy said "Teslas are powered by their owner's intelligence XD!"

Hit a pothole and your ball joint is toast, they handle like any other land barge, if you stomp on it your range goes from 200 miles to 100 miles in about 2 minutes. Interior quality is shit, steering wheel feels like an econobox ford. They get slower as the batteries start to wear.

The resale market for used teslas is also non-existent, meaning that you're losing probably $30k for driving it off the lot.

Tire rotation is a fucking meme. There's no purpose in doing it and the only reason it exists is for shops to squeeze more money out of people and to give shops more chances to fuck with shit in your car to increase the likelihood that you'll bring it in in the near future.

>>17500644
1. Tesla service does not make a profit
2. Tesla rotates tires for free
A Model S single motor wears the rears about twice as fast as the fronts, you really need to rotate them if you care about tire life. The only cars with stagger sets are all P85+ and some P90D and P100Ds, the rest are square. You can't rotate tires on the X but the fronts wear faster anyway unless it's an aggro driver.

>>17500644
>Tire rotation is a fucking meme.
Spotted the shitty econobox driver.

If I didn't rotate my directional tires front to back on my car I'd have to replace the rears due to camber wear about 30% sooner than the fronts. That's stock camber mind you.

>servicing your car more often than necessary just so you can have more parts need to be replaced at the same time instead of staggered with the same long term average life
Unless you have a camber so completely different between the front and rear tires that a completely different section of the tire contacts the road, you're just wasting time and money.

>>17500818
>camber so completely different between the front and rear tires that a completely different section of the tire contacts the road
A degree or two is enough to change wear characteristics significantly. I rotate front to back every oil change to keep wear as even as possible.

>>17497965
Only things that come to mind are Chevy Volt or Bolt.

>>17500818

>>17500861
Oh, you're actually being serious.

>>17500818
>servicing your car more often than necessary
It takes 5 minutes to do a tire rotation. If you don't do them you have to come in anyway to get 2 tires replaced rather than all 4. Then you have two new ones, two older ones, very often the fronts will then go out before even a rotation would otherwise be due. The purpose of a tire rotation is for the tires to wear evenly. Do you really think you have outsmarted the entire auto service industry and what has been done for the better part of a century? You are coming across as extremely stupid. Maybe you should use your brain a tad more before spewing out words onto the internet.

>>17500551

Is this person considered a normal person in the USA, why is it that every video or commercial from USA has these people, he very obviously has some homosexual mannerisms.

>>17499611

Luxury sedans don't usually use staggered, unidirectional tires

These kind of people don't stay rich for long

Because then you'll have new and old tires on the car at the same time

Was there ever a time that driving was any fun for anyone but rich idiots, or when it wasn't killing people all the time due to generalized incompetence?
Cars are awesome mobility but their power is going to make people of the future laugh at us.
"They lived on the roads and had to apply to cross!"
"They trusted drunken fools not to do 100 along the streets between their houses and police would chase them!"

No. They are really good at drifting, but Tesla is POS cuz of "American engineering".

The government is going to regret letting cunts like this profit from bullshit while hard working members of the community suffer. Great way to burn the world down, government cock suckers. Think of how much further we'd be along if all that internet money was put to better use.

why are you even on this board?

>>17497915
Why don't we just require more scrutiny on driving tests? Learn to fucking drive and maintain a car to get a licence or call a taxi. It's not your human right to drive.

But it IS MY RIGHT TO TRAVEL

>>17503158
This. Exactly this.

Give people the fucking responsibility of what they're doing.
