Coolant is covered for 2 years/34 miles, whichever comes first.

All you need to know about this person is that they named their car "beast". You now know everything else about them.

[โ€“] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

i'm gonna start calling my tiny e-scooter "The Beast" and paint it bright pink.

[โ€“] madcaesar@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

See, calling a little scooter beast is cute and fun, because you're having fun. Calling a metal monstrosity beast, is not done in fun. The person just screams massive douche.

[โ€“] dev_null@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The only time I saw someone call their truck "Beast" was in Cyberpunk 2077, the owner being a very friendly trans woman.

Oh I've met several of that woman irl lol

[โ€“] TomMasz@lemmy.world 82 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It made it to 35 miles, why is he complaining?

Really should just be saying thank you and bet the MF wasn't even wearing a suit when he called customer service.

[โ€“] NotAnArdvark@lemmy.ca 50 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Their brand-new car, their charger, and (evidently) on the spot Tesla says "yeah, this isn't our problem." I can't imagine they expect the person is going to go "Oh, dear." hang up, then pay thousands of dollars to fix whatever broke.

[โ€“] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The modern customer hostile corporate environment blows my mind. It's like they actively punish you for doing business with them, how does any of this shit get approved?

[โ€“] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

the more baffling thing is that people just accept it

[โ€“] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

Even worse, they push back on other customers demanding dignity, as if it were a privilege to be a brand fan

[โ€“] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 35 points 3 days ago

I bought a used Volvo a week ago, and the dealership gave me seven years of warranty as if the car was new. I'd tell cybertruck owners to suck an egg, but we all know they can't afford it.

[โ€“] nowrongnotes@beehaw.org 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Tesla doesn't even deliver its new vehicles with enough charge to drive from Pensacola to Destin? Lame.

[โ€“] HK65@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 days ago

Not defending them, but it is normal to store batteries at 40% charge to maximise longevity. That said, no reason they couldn't charge them before delivery.

[โ€“] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 32 points 3 days ago (4 children)

Who in their right mind would spend money on one of these comedy fall-apart clown cars?

[โ€“] skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 46 points 3 days ago

Who in their right mind

Not the target audience

[โ€“] GenosseFlosse@feddit.org 14 points 3 days ago

His occupation is listed as "real estate", if that answers your question.

[โ€“] endeavor@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 days ago

Absolute idiots who need the lesson vandals will give them or investors who are banking on this turd to go up in value in a few decades.

[โ€“] Marthirial@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The logic, at least in the farsically sad life of these asshats is that their dumpstertruck will become an instant classic and resell for 5x what they paid.

Unfortunately for them, there is not a single scenario where Tesla, Musk, Trump and GOP are not a ghastly episode in American history we all want to leave behind and forget, fast, along with its vulgar icons, making this an instantly 1500% depreciated and hence worthless shitbox.

[โ€“] jonne@infosec.pub 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

They think it'll age like the Delorean. Except nobody will pick this disgusting excuse of a car to be featured prominently in a movie. I bet if they made another back to the future movie they'd make Biff drive it.

Reboot of Dumb and Dumber.

[โ€“] Jinx@lemmy.ca 31 points 3 days ago

That seems the only way these things move, on tow trucks!

[โ€“] shalafi@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago (2 children)

This fucker is on my turf. I need to start carrying spray paint.

[โ€“] too_high_for_this@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

A solution of vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, and salt will instantly rust stainless steel.

[โ€“] harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Those things are made of 301 stainless. You could sneeze on it and make it rust.

[โ€“] Spookyghost@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

they are made out of plastic and decorated with glued on 301 sheets.

[โ€“] AugustWest@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

Hello neighbor. See you in the paint aisle.

[โ€“] someguy3@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Coolant leak! We have a coolant leak! I can't shut it down. I estimate 2 minutes to a warp core breach.

[โ€“] skeezix@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago (5 children)

ELI5, why does an electric vehicle need liquid coolant?

[โ€“] zdanger@lemmy.world 63 points 3 days ago

Batteries, motors, underlying components get hot. Need cooled.

[โ€“] P00ptart@lemmy.world 25 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Batteries get damaged quickly if they overheat, losing efficiency and capacity. Leave your laptop in your car in July for a full day of work and report back.

[โ€“] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago

Mmm, spicy pillow.

[โ€“] DrDominate@lemmy.world 20 points 3 days ago

If I had to guess. Motors get hot, gearbox gets hot, battery gets hot. Liquid coolant works better than air cooling alone.

[โ€“] meco03211@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago

Cooling off hot components is one part of it. Keeping the battery warm in cold weather is another.

[โ€“] jonne@infosec.pub 8 points 3 days ago

There's a heat pump that keeps the batteries at the optimal temperature and also heats / cools the cabin.

I don't think we've been to the same Destin. It's been several years since I've been there, but the place was a nice tourist destination.

[โ€“] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I used to work at the target there. It's definitely that. But people that live there ruin the vibe.

[โ€“] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

Based on the only person I know who lives there, my cousin, I can confirm that.

[โ€“] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Destin

it's florida. it's probably a shithole in a sinkhole

[โ€“] Doctor_Satan@lemm.ee 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's Floribama. So yeah. Total shit hole.
