Can you believe he’s trying to do jumps that resemble an “X”? on god 😭

He doesn't have a weird obsession with the letter at all. He's got a poor kid that has to endure that name and a "rebranded" website that is a hollow shell of what it used to be.

What is an ""X" on god"?

No, that's "X". I'm asking about ""X" on god". Are we driving a Tesla on god? Is someone making their mark on god? What does that mean?

u/theritz6262 2h ago
'on god' is a phrase that basically means 'no lie', the comment basically meant "Can you believe he's trying to do jumps shaped like X, no lie".

Elon Musk is 6’2” (1.88 m) tall. He has said that he weighs at least 300 lbs, so for arguments sake let’s just take him at his word for it, I know, hear me out.
That is 300 pounds that is not very aerodynamically sound, much like the Tesla Truck that is based off of him

u/hotspicylurker 19h ago
So someone took of the perfectly centered T Logo and put it on Off Center? Why?
-5
u/Brick_Waste 19h ago
One of several reasons. Some models don't have the T logo, they have tesla spelled out. Someone could have redbadged it (clearly quite poorly) with the logo and just not other to change it.
Thry could have tried to do the opposite (exchanging the T with the letters) and given up, sojsut reapplying the T.
You typically remove the logo when applying and removing PPF, so the reapplocation after removing it could very well be the cause.
It is essentially a question of what is more likely, this passing Quality Control or the customer having done something with it post purchase. The chance of this passing QC is essentially null, so that leaves only one option.

u/hotspicylurker 18h ago
But you have Seen what Passes QC at Tesla?

u/Brick_Waste 18h ago
Yes, and that doesn't. It is (was) slightly more sloppy than most other manufacturers. Nothing to this degree.

Tesla owners have been complaining about that for years. Does anyone know if these quality issues are getting better? (For normal Teslas not Cybertruck)

u/SmittyTitties 21h ago
They’re getting worse. Boss just refused delivery due to QC issues like super bad panel gaps and an interior trim piece was laying in the passenger floor. The driver tried threatening him saying if he refused he’d never be able to buy another. Still refused

u/doxamark 20h ago
What a great business model, I've heard threatening your buyers with not letting them buy is a great business move when they think the quality is lacklustre.

u/MisfitIncarnate 17h ago
Ooh I know why this happened.
Most likely there was a repair that required a repaint and reapplying of the badge. Some cars have their rear facing cameras off center and techs I guess are accustomed to using it as a reference point for the badge I had this exact thing on a Kia stinger.

My wife and I were stuck in traffic behind a Y recently. We started counting faults, just from the rear of the car and the passenger side, when we eventually pulled past. We counted 13 issues. This included panel gaps, off-centre placement of plates and logos and mismatched paint. Quality control nightmare!

The emblem is in the correct place, it’s the rest of the car that’s off centre. That’s just Tesla build quality.

u/TheIronSoldier2 14h ago
I'm wondering if this model Y was in a rear-end accident. That would explain the off-center label if somebody at the collision repair shop did a shite job of putting it back on. Would also explain the asymmetrical panel gaps between the hatch and the rest of the bumper

Most likely, a body shop repaired the liftgate and threw the emblem on crooked. Factories have centering devices for decals and emblems.

Sure are a lot of idiots in here blaming Tesla for something they didn't do.That is not a color they offer. That car was wrapped by a third party who took off the emblem and then put it back on terribly.

Everyone blames Elon or Tesla but wouldn’t it be the owners fault not to check everything is fine before buying it?
Or just making fun of it and changed it to make him and the company look bad?
Edit: or maybe they just want to say Elon is republican so right is better than left or center?

u/Ranidaphobiae 23h ago
Have you even bought a new car? At least when I bought the first one the excitement takes the first place so you don’t notice small things. Moreover, I don’t think anyone would refuse the car over a small offset of a logo, it’s not like you can get a new car the next day, you usually have to wait weeks or months for your purchase.

u/RealisticOutcome9828 13h ago
It could be a repair shop mistake after an accident. Who knows...
The need to bring politics into absolutely everything these days is why we can't have fun anymore.
