Not just that. I mean a 50k+ car that needs ducttape to hold the hood down! Wtf!? 🤣

I mean I like bashing on Tesla as much as the next guy, but any car can end up like this regardless of price. They probably bumped into something that broke the locking mechanism and this is probably just a temporary solution until they get it replaced.

A permanent solution until it gets replaced 😹

[-] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Its temporary, unless it works.

Breaking the locking mechanism while doing no damage to the plastic fender is an amazing feat.

[-] float@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

Also, there's usually a 2nd safety mechanism that prevents it from popping up.

how do you bump it into something enough to break the latch without messing up bumper, number plate and bonnet? all of it looks intact

[-] Cralder@feddit.nu 2 points 1 year ago

It was just an example. There are a thousand other ways to break the latch without messing up the rest of the car

Yeah buddy of mine mended his lease car with duct tape. He rear-ended someone at a roundabout at 30 km/h. Couldn't get it fixed quickly, had to wait 3 months for the garage.

All cars break. That’s why they all come with warranties.

I am the warranty

[-] vox@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

warranties don't cover accidental damage, that's what the insurance is for.
