I don’t really have an agenda. Your lame posts are just tiring. I would block you but every once in a while you post something worth reading. 20,000 positives with 18,000 posts is impressive, but not in a good way. Ok we know you’re pissed. No reason to repeat yourself over and over, unless you are just trying to be annoying. What do you call it if it’s not trolling?
@NegativeNancy ... I mean @TessP100D ... Could you please tell us where you got your crystal ball? I'd love to get one. Your affinity to see the future with such accuracy is amazing.
@lowtek Common sense? Let's say a truck gets hit and damages a casting. What would a repair include? Most likely, "replacement," and not repair, no? With a unibody or frame vehicle, many damaged frames are realigned on a frame alignment jig.... or, if in the front., the damaged frame strut extension is replaced. Can you do that with a casting? As for skins and panels, panels are easily removed with clips, screws and bolts. How to you remove and replace a skin that was glued on with "structural adhesive"?

Congratulations! You're an official a member of the Debbie Downer crew. Meetings are on Friday eventings at 8:00p, you guys choose which of your parent's basement to meet in so at least one of you won't have to leave home. Dont' forget to sit in a circle to jerk ... I mean discuss how you're going to troll the forums the following week, influencing none, affecting no buying decisions whatsoever.Common sense? Let's say a truck gets hit and damages a casting.

Serious questions.... What happens on the Model Y (with those castings)?
Quick search found a Teslatari article, but there were many others I didn't bother to open. Buyer's can do their own research.
"These include a Giga Texas-made 2022 Model Y Long Range, which was listed by IAA with front collision damage in early January. The vehicle had a retail price of $61,388 and an estimated repair cost of $50,388. Another Model Y, which was listed with side collision damage, had a retail price of $72,667 and an estimated repair cost of $43,814."
Tesla repair costs are causing insurance providers to write off low-mileage EVs.
While data from Tesla Insurance is lowering vehicle repair costs, the story is different for Teslas covered by other insurance providers.
Fortunately castings aren’t a new revelation to Tesla or the CT. Unlike the noted fender bender on the Rivian IF you sustain an impact capable are breaking the frame on Any car you don’t want that car on the road. Just feels like you are Desperately hunting for negative to keep your FUD alive. Lol@lowtek Common sense? Let's say a truck gets hit and damages a casting. What would a repair include?

"To each..."
Hey Lowtek, it’s good to have you back. I thought you drove off a cliff when the crappy specs were announced. Your as close to a know-it-all I’ve ever read, so trust me .. it’s good to have you back.
Elon, like Trump, has a hard-core group of supporters who will stick with him whatever he says.
Dont edit my post. I didnt curse. I called the person stupid. Because you're either a severely mentally challenged individual or a terrorist sympathizing piece of $H1T to believe what he believes.
I was wondering when Musk's most predictable cynic would show - welcome!
Not sorry your feelings got hurt.
This is derailing the thread at this point but whats so bad about asking people about their insurance rates? It's not like he is asking about bra size. You mention data mining? What do you think, that he's going to take this data and sell it to advertisers? So is having a Facebook account gross? I mean I agree, Facebook is gross. I just don't know what soap box you are trying to stand on or why. Btw, aren't teslas data mining machines? Is driving a tesla gross too? or is data mining only gross when the peasants try to do it for fun?Not sorry your feelings got hurt.
Data mining is gross. Simple to find out in for bay actually pertained to you, but hey… data mining was the goal with yer thread.
That person is trolling. Probably knows CT rates will be stratospheric. They are all about FUD and not facts and data. They must be card carrying members of the, “Never let the facts ruin a good story,” club.
) is a troll.
