This is the dumbest vehicle to ever live, everyone driving them is having a comically miserable time and you don’t have to feel bad for laughing at them because they all deserve it.
An excerpt: No heat in MN.. freezing!
Has anyone experienced an issue with no heat? Located in MN and temps are currently sub-zero.
Dropped my son off at hockey practice last night with the temp around 0… heat was working fine. Went home for an hour and tapped the fan button within the app to pre-heat the car before picking him up. The car was freezing when I got in, fan was blowing cold air. I tried multiple settings, defrost, turned off/on, I could not get the heat to come out.
Ran into a similar issue this morning. It’s currently -7 and my wife “preheated” the car before taking the kids to school. She called me on the way, I can see the interior temp is currently 13 degrees. She’s not happy.
I created a service request, the soonest appointment is January 6th… there’s no way I can wait a month to get heat back!!
To be fair on that last part, I’ve owned some actual dogshit vehicles that I loved to death. Hell, I’ve still got my old 1991 Mazda B2200 pickup that I take for a drive ocasionally kind of like taking a geriatric dog for a walk. The carb hasn’t worked quite right since I had to rebuild it and the whole truck sits at an angle after I overloaded the bed a few too many times. Ocasionally it’ll start spontaniously flooding out and I’ll have to pull over and quickly pull a vac line off the carb and plug it to keep it running but when I do that is starts pinging like hell so I’ve gotta fuck with the ignition timing so I just keep the nutdriver for that strapped under the hood. It leaks oil, it rides rough, and the headlights might as well run on D cell batteries.
But it’s a good truck. It’s loyal and we care about each other. Whenever my main vehicle breaks down it is always there for me. Whenever I need it, it always runs even if it doesn’t do so well or happily. It always starts on the first try even when it’s -20F outside and it has never left me stranded. That truck has been rode hard and put up wet for over 3 decades but it refuses to give up. It is a member of the family and at this point I am determined to keep it going no matter what happens to it in the future. I owe it that much.
Now, at the same time, despite it being over 3 decades old, it is still more reliable than a
cybertruckfash barge. My truck has earned it’s love and respect. I have no idea how anyone could love Teslas roll off dumpsters.
