21 miles and screen absolutely covered in dust. These things must be sitting for ages and not selling. Not even a wipe down from the Tesla store.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Oops, did they accidentally do the remote self-destruction on a vehicle that was already sold?

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 3 points 1 hour ago

How the hell should I know?

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 4 points 2 hours ago

Oh well, it sucks to be you, a Muskrat dick-sucker.

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 20 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

That screen is awfully dusty for a car you bought 10 minutes ago

[–] Peter_Arbeitsloser@feddit.org 19 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

Well, it still does have a protective foil on it and very few finger traces in the dust.

Still, the bottom corner of the film is peeling. Could have been sitting on a lot for a long time, but peeling like that after only a few test drives at most?

Edit: I ended up digging into his Twitter page and everything is legit. And I'm baffled.

SMS conversation with Tesla support (LOL): tech support convo

Dropping it off: dropping off at service

"Your concern is closed."

Ahaha the garbage customer service they sell these days.

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 13 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

I'd expect the dealership to give it a quick detail before letting the customer drive away, even used car dealerships do that. But I guess when we're talking about Tesla all bets are off.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I don't think Tesla dealers work on commission (basing this entirely off the comment of a rando on this site without verification), so that would help explain it.

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 1 points 16 minutes ago

You'd think the dealership would step in though. If I bought a $100k vehicle I'd be beyond livid if it was delivered in that condition. The fact that it's also broken is just a cherry on top

[–] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 hours ago

Haha. Yeah probably not. Look at what they aren't paying for when making these now.

[–] Aggravationstation@feddit.uk 7 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Cabin climate control system requires service.

Am I reading that right? Do you need a connection to an external service to turn on the air conditioning?

[–] j0hax@feddit.org 28 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I would definitely interpret that as in "needs to be serviced at a garage/dealer."

[–] Aggravationstation@feddit.uk 1 points 2 hours ago

Ah yes, that does make more sense, I'm a computer nerd so interpreted the wrong way. Still something's clearly gone horribly wrong here.

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 25 points 6 hours ago

I love that people think @elonmusk is a valid technical support approach

[–] FrChazzz@lemm.ee 15 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I know it’s fun to hate on the CyberTruck (absolutely has deserved it), but I’d bet money on this being a 12v battery issue, maybe from improper storage? Only reason I say this is that I have a Kia Soul EV and it gave me pretty much the exact same warning the other day and refused to start. Turned out the 12v battery was dead and that causes all kinds of weird stuff to happen to the electrical systems in the car. Especially considering that the entire electrical system of the CT is consolidated into one wiring harness.

Also, knowing Tesla, attempting to jump the 12v would probably void a warranty.

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 1 points 1 hour ago

With modern cars having so many sensors, a dying battery can cause all sorts of weird, seemingly random issues. I have no idea it's the problem here but it's usually one of the first things I check when an issue isn't obvious. Just because the battery starts the car (or does whatever it does in evs) doesn't mean that the sensors, relays, and servos are getting the juice they need to operate correctly.

[–] ragingdachshund@lemm.ee 19 points 8 hours ago

You just need to seig heil harder, bro

[–] PanArab@lemm.ee 10 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

It is definitely a computer. Things just stop working for no obvious reason sometimes.

[–] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 7 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

[–] genuineparts@infosec.pub 12 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (3 children)

Literally says on the screen "Exiting and Reentering vehicle might restore operation." I hate the future.

[–] despicable 2 points 3 hours ago

Lmao you HAVE TO exit and reenter the car to restart it? This is hilarious on so many levels.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 hours ago

For fuck sake

[–] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Where does it say that? Can't see anything.

[–] Halosheep@lemm.ee 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

It's hard to see but the small notice on the left side with the warning symbol says it. The barely legible text at the bottom.

[–] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 1 points 5 hours ago

Ah thanks. I would not have been able to identify that, but makes sense.

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 90 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Lmao, imagine a car not working because of a software bug. That's just pathetic.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 23 points 13 hours ago (5 children)

That's... Basically every car made in the last 15 years?

[–] faercol@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

The worst bug I had on my car had the onboard computer not starting, and the screen remaining black. It meant I had: no GPS, no music, no backup camera, and no parking sensor.

But apart from that, the car was driving perfectly normal, and all the other features were working as expected.

[–] ShankShill@sh.itjust.works 4 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

My car has a 3 finger salute to force reboot the infotainment system.

[–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (1 children)

Teslas also have a slaute to acess the infotainment system, except it uses the entire hand and arm

[–] faercol@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 6 hours ago

Oh apparently I have something similar (5s press on the bottom left), it might have worked

[–] Alwaysnownevernotme@lemmy.world 12 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

My 2017 mini hasn't had anything, even resembling that?

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 6 points 4 hours ago

It's got an ECU, you're 1 computer bug away from being stranded.

He...he can't help you. He's the nepo baby of people who owned blood mines. He doesn't actually know anything useful. Or care about you.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

He's also the grandson of a man who tried to overthrow democracy in Canada and was forced to flea.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 14 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

Mentioning this on Twitter might bring it to his attention and since this is bad PR, he might expedite the complaint so that it gets fixed sooner. That's probably the thinking here. I've seen it happen with companies before
