I am sure Nikolai Tesla is rolling over in his grave.
Actually, the recall isn’t that big a deal, but big enough to knock the stock from $222 to $217. How dare they!
Faulty seat-belts and shit, the shit that send your headlong into a wall of glass, crack your spine in half, sever your heads. No biggie.
“Tesla recently found a Model S in Europe with a front seat belt that was not properly connected to the outboard lap pretensioner,” the company said in an e-mail to customers Friday. “This vehicle was not involved in a crash and there were no injuries. However, in the event of a crash, a seat belt in this condition would not provide full protection. First and foremost, we care about your safety.”
I can’t wait for Tim “I’m Still Gay” Cook to come out with the iCar, straight bowling on these assclowns and their fucked up cars.
NOTE: Sorry for the deceptive front page pic. I could not help myself.

We are sending you this email to inform you of a proactive action Tesla is taking to ensure your safety. Tesla recently found a Model S in Europe with a front seat belt that was not properly connected to the outboard lap pretensioner. This vehicle was not involved in a crash and there were no injuries. However, in the event of a crash, a seatbelt in this condition would not provide full protection. First and foremost, we care about your safety.
This is the only customer vehicle we know of with this condition. Even though we have since inspected the seat belts in over 3,000 vehicles spanning the entire range of Model S production and found no issues, we have decided to conduct a voluntary recall as a proactive and precautionary measure to inspect all front Model S seat belts and make absolutely sure that they are properly connected. (We have no concerns regarding seat belts in the rear of Model S.)
Our records indicate you own a Model S affected by this voluntary recall. We will be sending you an official recall notice by mail, but you don’t need to wait for this notice to schedule your free inspection.
Hmmm, my parents were about to pick up their new Model S this weekend too but decided to postpone the delivery until next month.
Never buying a gas car again.
good luck finding an electric socket on your next road trip
Drove 19000 miles in the last 8 months including a road-trips from NYC to Dallas, DC and FL. There are many sockets in the back of your woods. Just take a look around. Free to charge as well.

Fly – How about we swap rides for a weekend? Take my model S and give me whatever you drive. Drive as many miles as you want. No questions asked.
