Some Tesla Model 3 Customers Cancel Going Green Over Trump And Musk Link

Hmmm... I was wondering how long it would take all of the liberal, principled Tesla owners/fan-people (how's that for being PC!) to get their panties in a twist about Elon cozying up to the Trump administration. It just goes to show that Musk is basically a money-groveler who will suck up to whomever is necessary to keep the government cash gravy-train rolling for his companies.

Oh, by the way, unrelated, but now that winter is here, the latest Falcon Door problem with the Model X (first full winter with a number of them on the road)has come to light. When it dips below freezing, melting water gets into the Falcon Door mechanisms and causes the latching/locking mechanisms to freeze so that the electric doors won't fully close and latch. You could take your X to the mall, get out, and then the doors won't close/lock.

My friend from Rochester, NY who has a Model X, says his vehicle is basically undriveable in freezing temps because he can't trust the doors to close/latch. He had to drive home to his heated garage with the doors open (and warning sensors beeping).

When he first called Tesla to complain, he said they told him "...yeah we have been hearing about that..." His car has been flatbedded to Ohio twice but it hasn't been satisfactorily fixed yet.

I guess it never got that cold in Tesla's California during X testing! Come to think of it - you never see ANY spy shots of Tesla's driving through the desert or in the artic circle like all the other manufacturers. Do they even test the vehicles in real world conditions before they are launched?

Tesla's are all sizzle and no steak. They may be cool - but they are just not that good as vehicles in everyday use.

Both the S and X are extremely practical in California. I can't personally speak for areas where it snows, but I can say Tesla has sold a ton of cars in Finland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Canada... all of those regions should be colder than the US Northeast right?

I hate to suggest it, but maybe your friend doesn't know how to properly operate the car? If temperatures are well below freezing, you can use the Tesla app on your phone to heat up the car from the inside before you leave.

Trump won. Get over it, snowflakes.

Never seen do many "intelligent" people act so childish over a process that happens every 4 years. GROW UP and figure out how to win in 4 years.

Was it a shock? Only if you listened the pied pipers of the press and pollsters. Those that actually did the research understood the outcome was a serious possibility.

They were laughing on election night knowing the democratic party was blindsided because the believed what everyone told them, not what reality was.

We are seeing the underbelly of the democratic party and it is not pretty...who knew it was this ugly. I guess they will go back to buying German and Japanese cars...no that wouldn't work either, would it. FCA vehicles..doesn't work, facist history. Ford...no, Henry was an antisemite. English cars...no, Margaret Thatcher and Reagan were too close. French cars...oops, none imported into USA. GM cars...could work, Hillary had Mary Barra on the short list of potential VP candidates. Enjoy your Chevy Cruze, Buick La Saber or Cadillac CTS.

The intolerance, bigotry, and stifling of the freedom of speech by the Alt-Left Democrats scares me.

Last I checked, we as citizens reserve the right to vote with our wallets.....or was there an executive order (preventing this) that I missed.

There was an executive order. I now control your wallet, so hand it over.
