  • What’s the feeling over there… if Trump tomorrow announced a military invasion to free Canada from fascists or whatever, would the military comply and start gunning down Canadians? I know there are a few more steps to it before such action can be taken (or at least I hope there are), so I suppose what I’m wondering is if there are enough Americans who think Canada is evil to happily rise to the challenge?

    An absurd thought, but these are absurd times.

    Tesla is in a league of its own when it comes to quality control issues.

    Tesla in Norway set up a paint shop to repaint Model S cars as they arrived, since some had such a thin coat of paint you could see through to the primer.

    My nephew, on picking up his new Model 3, was asked to walk around the car and highlight trim defects and panel gaps he would like them to fix/improve.

    A friend of mine’s Model X had such poor welds in places it quickly developed cracks in the rear door jamb areas. Tesla called it normal and so he ended up stripping down the car and rewelded these areas himself.

    There are so many stories out there, and I feel like Tesla was given a pass by the press/people because “oooh, electric, exciting, much nice, so environmentally friendly”.
