    I’m starting to think that Tesla and Teslas are not so good.

      I’d rather trust an auto company with decades of experience with safety and quality control to figure out batteries/electrical motors, than a software/battery company racing emerging tech to market to figure out cars. Even if I need to wait a few more years to shift to electric.

    Interviewer: Well what sort of engineering standards are these Tesla’s built to?
    Musk: Oh, very rigorous vehicular engineering standards.
    Interviewer: What sort of thing?
    Musk: Well, the wheels are not supposed to fall off for a start.

      It’s a bunch of cry baby limousine liberals who hate Musk for his support of free speech and real patriots.

      They’ll do anything to tarnish his name, including acting like their Telsa’s wheels flying off at high speed is something that actually happened, which it didn’t.

      But even if it did, who wouldn’t want a tricycle Tesla?

      And if they managed to drive so irresponsibly that they turned their Tesla into a bicycle, that’s not Musk’s fault.

      Regardless, even if Musk was at fault, it’s not like he was trying to hurt them.

      But honestly, who could blame them if he was? They deserved everything that happened to them.

      All these haters just makes me so mad. Who wants to join me for our nightly Musk prayers?
