They are great at being bad cars.

Interviewer: Well what sort of engineering standards are these Tesla’s built to?
Musk: Oh, very rigorous vehicular engineering standards.
Interviewer: What sort of thing?
Musk: Well, the wheels are not supposed to fall off for a start.Musk: Look some of them aren’t built as good as other ones.
Interviewer: what do you mean?
Musk: Well, some of them are built so the wheels don’t fall off.

I mean there are already four of them on the car how many do we really need?
It’s a bunch of cry baby limousine liberals who hate Musk for his support of free speech and real patriots.
They’ll do anything to tarnish his name, including acting like their Telsa’s wheels flying off at high speed is something that actually happened, which it didn’t.
But even if it did, who wouldn’t want a tricycle Tesla?
And if they managed to drive so irresponsibly that they turned their Tesla into a bicycle, that’s not Musk’s fault.
Regardless, even if Musk was at fault, it’s not like he was trying to hurt them.
But honestly, who could blame them if he was? They deserved everything that happened to them.
All these haters just makes me so mad. Who wants to join me for our nightly Musk prayers?
If you can ride a bicycle you should be able to drive a car on two wheels.

This only happens when you drive it outside of the environment.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Despite knowing about chronic “flaws” and “failures” for many years, Tesla reportedly blamed drivers for glaring defects like collapsed suspensions and breaking axles.
As Reuters reports, tens of thousands of Tesla owners have had the suspension or steering of their vehicles — even in practically brand new ones — fail in recent years.
Nonetheless, some of the documents suggest technicians were told to tell consumers that these failures weren’t due to faulty parts, but the result of drivers “abusing” their vehicles, which highlights the EV maker and its CEO Elon Musk’s infamous way of handling customer complaints.
Case in point, the news comes after Reuters revealed back in July how Tesla created an entire dedicated team to suppress driving range complaints.
Unlike Tesla’s major Autopilot-related recall earlier this month, which was addressed with an over-the-air update, Reuters’ latest report suggests the company has plenty of other part failure-related issues that won’t be able to be fixed with a simple software patch.
“It defeats the purpose of the high speed if you’re afraid that your front wheels are going to fall off if you accelerate quickly,” Tesla owner Trace Curry, who’s had to pay over $10,000 to keep his 2016 Model X on the road, told Reuters.
