The sheriff said Tesla CEO Elon Musk helped the investigation by having the truck unlocked after it auto-locked in the blast and giving investigators video of the suspect at charging stations along its route from Colorado to Las Vegas.


What if this hadn’t been purposeful but an accidental blast… and the doors auto-locked someone inside? Do you need Musk’s personal cell number to be able to get out alive? What even is this?

Seriously, how are Tesla’s not widely considered dangerous deathtraps at this point.

    I don’t trust Elon, but I bought my Tesla before he unmasked himself, while I saw him as the guy who made electric cars cool and rockets reusable, and I still think it’s a good, well made, and reliable car

    My trust is increased by the recalls the cybertruck has had, as it shows the company is responsive to problems and of course it’ll have problems being a new vehicle with a new battery using new technology.

    So sure Musk sucks, but I still like the cars and rockets

    I don’t like JK Rowling either, but the Harry Potter stories are fine

      I also liked very much what was going on in the beginning, same as you. I don’t want to Tesla shame anybody, sorry about that.
