    what the fresh hell.

    I used to drive this ancient Toyota that had a "bad oil leak". I was broke and sourcing which gasket would have made me have to live out of the car, so I just kept an eye on its levels and added back oil frequently until I got into a better situation. not proud of it, because leaking engine oil is bad for the environment.

    my bad oil leak was probably something like a quart every 3-4 months of daily operation.

    this isn't an oil leak. this is just dumping oil in the ground.

      the article isn't specific, but knowing tesla the problem is that they just forgot a gasket and it literally is just an open seam in the motor or the transfer case.

      I hope this guy gets charged for enviromental crimes but also very fucking carbrained to go "welp, nothing to be done about this" and then just fucking dump a gallon of oil on the ground a day
