I saw a tweet the other day and writer mockingly mentioned watching a Youtube vid of a guy using a hairdryer to unfreeze the door handle of his Tesla. Ninja edit - I found a good thread with a 10 second video: Door handles that freeze way to easy on Tesla Model 3/Y : CrappyDesign.
I was born in the 1960s. In the pre-digital age before the net as we know it, before Google etc - I was empathic and sympathetic to many people who were scammed. Information was rarer then. But now - not only do I not feel empathy and I entirely devoid of even sympathy to people like Tesla owners. We all make mistakes with purchases of random stuff. You buy a neato food processor for ~$50 bucks and it seems like a steal but then it breaks a few months later. It happens. Such is life.
But how can anyone spend 10,000s of dollars on car without even doing the bare minimum of googling for problems? And it's so weird that many Tesla owners are still so in thrall to Elon that even after they realize they made a big mistake buying his car - they go to absurd lengths to rationalize and deceive themselves. Elon's got them under his thumb and instead of trying to escape they pled for more pressure.
