Owner Dumps Tesla Model X Over Quality Problems
 
Owner Dumps Tesla Model X Over Quality Problems

Quote:
According to Fortune, Lyon cited multiple issues with his Tesla Model X in the lawsuit against the company last month:

The core of the case involved Lyon’s allegations that Tesla “rushed” the Model X into production before it was ready for prime-time. Meanwhile, other customers are also seeking and obtaining refunds.

In Lyon’s lawsuit, he claimed the cars doors opened and closed unpredictably, smashing into his wife and other cars, and that the Model X’s Auto-Pilot feature posed a danger in the rain. He also shared a video that shows the car’s self-parking feature failing to operate successfully.
A Tesla spokesperson confirmed to Fortune that the company settled the lawsuit and had Lyon return his Model X.
Not good.

Now why is Tesla wanting to join with Solar City?

Not surprising...I'm thinking small government funded niche automaker with very limited R&D and testing resources most of which were probably put into battery/motor/charging development.

In the 1980's, Ferrari had a few F40s returned under lemon laws. Because Ferrari had to reimburse the buyers for sale price and not MSRP, and because the cars were selling for way over MSRP, Ferrari nearly folded as a result. To avoid similar problems in the future, Ferrari instructed its dealers to get selective about who they sold cars to. For example, many Ferrari dealers require the purchase of a used Ferrari before a buyer is allowed to buy a new Ferrari. This is to weed out the buyers who are not true believers in the brand and who are not willing to overlook the vehicle's flaws. Tesla should accept its fate as a boutique carmaker and adopt a similar strategy.

Because Musk has more taxpayer funds sunk into Tesla that he can use to bail out his other money-losers.

Reality is only a conspiracy to the paranoid.

All Musk needs now to complete the picture is a wife that looks like this:
