Guy blows his Tesla model S to smithereens with 30kgs of dynamite.
A Finnish chap whose Tesla model S was out of warranty decided he'd had enough after the dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree will error messages and it was towed to the Tesla centre & after a month there Tesla wanted €20k to repair it.
He said on yer bike & took it to a disused quarry, put a dummy of Elon Musk in it & blew it to kingdom come with 30 kgs of dynamite

Yeah I thought there would have some fires fizzing around the place with punctured Lithium cells. Even a Tesla battery pack with medium Degradation is worth between £5k to £8k by hobbyist. I wonder if he'll make more money from this youtube video than parting it out as that video looked like a pro job with slo-mo cameras.

What a waste of dynamite, Houses of Parliament would have been far more suitable.

They would only allow a visitor in if he was wearing a mask. Oh, just a minute...

Seems that it's not a good move to be out of warranty on so many modern cars now.

Does anyone know what the warranty is for Tesla (I guess it will be different for battery pack vs rest of vehicle)? Kev |
