Fly in my Taillight

[rolosrevenge]

How many flies does it take to screw in a light bulb? Two, but no one knows how they got there...

 

[Skotty]

Oh waiter...

Id really hate to take my car in for service just to have a fly removed. But the little guy is SOOO big. I could see him from across the parking lot when I came out of the grocery store today. I think I'm going to call him George...

If the new taillights prevent this from happening then ill do it. Otherwise I think ill let George remain entombed.

Countdown to "Tesla Owners Discover Their Cars Full Of Bugs" media headlines in 3...2...1...

Had a smaller fly in my right tail light when I first got the car, which was the same light I had condensation in. Service swapped the light out for a new one. Too bad it's still happening.

 

[Electricfan]

SO GLAD someone posted about this! I've had bugs removed from my taillights twice now. Never had another car with this issue! Wonder why Tesla's have this??

 

[DrComputer]

I can top that! Tesla had to replace my taillight because I found a pink object that turned out to be a fingernail when they replaced it (not mine :smile.

 

[MITE46]

I thought these tail lights were supposed to be air tight...?

 

[TheAustin]

There are flies on the windscreen, for a start.
Reminding us...We could be torn apart.

Seriously, who makes Tesla's taillight assemblies? And where? I'm seeing what looks like a logo on DrComputer's fingernail picture, but I don't recognize it.

It says "htc" - a reflection of the phone used to take the photo

 

[karmamule]

Ewww, for some reason that fingernail disturbs me more than the flies or other bugs....

 

[Brass Guy]

Wow, I have one too. It was green when I noticed it last week while cleaning, so I'm sure it wasn't there before. How?!?

 

[CliffG]

If eggs were in there how would the fly grow to maturity? What would it eat?

each other... yumm, fly omelets. ;-) (ick)

How the flies get in there:
I figure that when the car goes to lightspeed, the bugs travel through the vacuum wormhole created by the escape velocity of the tesla and end up in the taillight/frontlight.

Well...does anyone else have a better answer ? :wink:

Nah I go with the teleportation theory. While on the freeway you see a spot in a lane up ahead that you *will* the car to be in, and suddenly in the blink of an eye you and your Tesla teleport there before any other drivers realize what happened. Unfortunately, sometimes a fly or other bug also doesn't realize what's going on and is unable to get out of the way soon enough and suddenly inhabits the very same time/space coordinates as you and your Tesla.

Yep. Fortunately, unlike what happened in the movie "The Fly", the resulting process doesn't combine the DNA of the fly with the DNA of the driver and the Tesla. :scared:

hmmm... sounds like (reads like?) the consensus is either wormhole or something very like an improbabiity drive
