Elon fanboys are fucking stupid. I own a Tesla (my 2nd) every time people have legitimate complaints or concerns, the crazies come out to act like it’s a conspiracy against the company.

It’s a cool car, but it’s just a car. Worshipping Tesla (or Elon) is fucking dumb.

With that being said, this steering wheel falling off does not surprise me in the least.

I also own a Tesla, and agree re: worship, but I am surprised about the steering wheel falling off, since I've not heard of that happening before on Teslas (or most other cars for that matter).

Haven’t heard this one yet either, but with so many other odd QC issues (Teslas gotten way better) it’s just not surprising to me.

They're worse than Apple fanboys lol. Elon the great industrialist! Let's ignore the fact that Tesla needed government help to survive.

The whole stock thing makes them feel financially obligated to hype the product. They don't give a flaming rat's ass about the product, they are doing this for the $800 lump of magic stock rotting in their robinhood portfolio.

Yup, and he's a hero to free market libertarians, a manifestation of Atlas Shrugged's John Galt.

Best thing I encountered so far (online) was, as I told people that Model 3 doesn't has a emergency handle on the inside for the back doors and people started to say I made this up. Then somebody went out in order to make a picture for proof that it has one ... Well, that person was quite surprised a Model 3 doesn't has an emergency handle for the back doors in the inside. And then people started to argue "maybe it is for safety, so the kids can't open the doors in case of an accident and walk around on the highway without supervision" ...

It's insane, you can't criticize anything about the company or cars at all. It's so fucking tiring sometimes owning one.
