Shreyansh Jain was ecstatic in March when he picked up his first electric vehicle, a brand-new 2023 Tesla Model Y. He used a sizable chunk of family savings to buy it with cash.
His exuberance came to a “grinding halt” one day later, with 115 miles on the odometer, Jain told Reuters. As he drove with his wife and three-year-old daughter, he suddenly lost steering control as he made a slow turn into their neighborhood. The vehicle’s front-right suspension had collapsed, and parts of the car loudly scraped the road as it came to a stop.
The complex repair required nearly 40 hours of labor to rebuild the suspension and replace the steering column, among other fixes, according to a detailed repair estimate. The cost: more than $14,000. Tesla refused to cover the repairs, blaming the accident on “prior” suspension damage.

The California Highway Patrol was called to a scene in Palo Alto on Thursday due to an accident involving the futuristic truck and a Toyota Corolla.

The Japanese-made vehicle was demolished in the woods while the Cybertruck sat on the road with minor dents.

If a Corolla got into a wreck with any pickup I would expect similar results.

Not backing up your warranty is a very bad sign.

In my state , we have a lemon law.
One is entitled to a full refund, if the repairs are not done right.
car corporations are shifty. thats why its lower risk to just have great public transit, you dont have to worry about warranties, accidents, or big costs.

lemon laws are great!

The Environmental Protection Agency’s internal watchdog issued a report just before the New Year’s holiday that offered the latest evidence of a cart-before-horse dynamic in the Democratic push for green energy.
The electric school bus initiative was boosted by Biden’s Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, setting aside $5 billion to grant money to local school district to convert their fleets from gas and diesel.
Nearly 2,000 school districts applied for the first round of rebates from all 50 states and Washington, D.C., leading to an initial round of $1 billion. But since then, school districts around the nation have encountered serious difficulties, from a lack of chargers to maintenance problems, repair parts supplies, and downtime on the new technology, according to a recent analysis in Real Clear Energy.
One utility company told the IG that while it had experience with electric vehicles and buses, “it did not have experience at the projected scale,” the report noted.
Another utility estimated it could take nine months to two years to complete construction, meaning new electric buses could sit idle on lots.

The company notes that each human creates enough sewage annually to create 4-5 liters of bio jet fuel. If you wanted to fly a passenger jet from London to New York, for instance, you would need the annual waste from 10,000 people each way — that’s a lot of excrement.
