The comments are brutal. “I say you take the car private. These public versions seem pretty shoddy.” “Tesla and Elon Musk are deeply grateful for all you beta testers out there. How else would we know our bumpers don’t work in the rain. You don’t expect us toactually test these things properly, do you?” " Well I mean … the thing was put together in a tent by ‘borrowed’ staff from other areas of the organization… so… ![😂](https://cdck-file-uploads-canada1.s3.dualstack.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/2X/a/a6dca94754173f3ccabc9f2276a94878349096e7.png)" “So much for using water-soluble fasteners to save on production costs…” “Bumper to no Bumper warranty?” “Sure hope they use that Gorilla stuff rather than Elmer’s when they build mine in a few months.” LMAO ---
