a big chuck would be the $10 premium connectivity per month

Hilarious. Sadly it's not surprising at all.

But wait, why are we mad? "Tesla is a technology company, not a car company."

Look how far down hill we have gone. There was a time when we could lift the car from the bumper to fix a flat tire. Now we can't even drive in the rain with it.

It looks to me like they went though some fairly deep standing water at a pretty good speed.

yes, looks that way. I hope it is not the excuse that Tesla will use. I've driven through creeks and streams in my 69 Nova. The bumper is still there.

... until the bumper falls off?

I’ve watched and rewatched this video numerous times. I don’t see a puddle so dangerously deep that should be capable of causing this kind of damage.

I know it doesn’t rain or snow in California so the Tesla engineers are probably befuddled by what they are even looking at. It was an act of god, all right. Mysterious bumper-ripping gods that are shorting Tesla.

This was an issue with early production Model 3. Been long since fixed.

 

[CyberShy]

Obviously, it wasn’t fixed on this car. How many others out there have the original defective design and haven’t seen a puddle? It doesn’t matter how many cars don’t have this problem.

Was the fix a redesigned part?

To Tesla spec.

But they filled all orders for the quarter nothing to see here......

How to tell if fixed?

Sadly no. My 2020 just detached.

Kind-a the other side of the "front fell off" joke - "it's not very typical, I like to make that point":

Thats not "rain" it was a small pond you went through. If you would have slowed down it would have never happened IMO.

No I had my BMW it would have never happened.

No I had my BMW it would have never happened.

Make that IF I had my Mercedes, Porsche or Audi that I have previously owned it would have never happened. 50 years of car ownership and it never happened.
