Tesla YouTuber pissed off about the ramifications of his actions

YouTuber and on-line persona lowlifeduramax, actual title Michael, caught our consideration in February when he put rear tracks on his just lately bought Tesla Mannequin 3. He was quoted in the video saying, “we now have to interrupt one thing earlier than at the present time ends,” and it appears he received his want. It did not occur that day, however his Mannequin 3 did certainly break. Opposite to widespread sense, Michael now appears to be questioning why Tesla just isn’t honoring his warranty.

Whereas we’re undecided how upset he’s about the complete state of affairs, Michael took to Instagram seemingly to voice frustration that the electric motor on his Mannequin 3 broke down. “I blew the motor in the Tesla,” he stated in a caption. “Remark solutions for a brand new drifting/hooning car that’ll last more than 3 months! Video explaining every thing can be up subsequent week.” Moreover, from his now-private Twitter account, he tweeted, “Tesla voided my warranty on a 3 month previous 2020 Mannequin 3 and jabbed me with a $4,500 invoice on a failed motor,” based on InsideEVs.

Perhaps this is not widespread information to some, nevertheless it ought to be identified to all car fanatics that almost all aftermarket modifications, particularly one thing as excessive as bolting on snow tracks to the inventory suspension of a vehicle, will void the warranty. Inventory vehicles will not be constructed to deal with and cope with such customizations, and thus, the producer is not accountable for what occurs after these mods are added.

The tracks aren’t the solely duress this car has been below, both. On a number of events, as seen in the video under, Michael has put the Mannequin 3 by laborious launches, laborious drifting, and laborious burnouts. Burnouts do not mechanically void warranties, however they’re positively not good for the life of an electric motor. He additionally pitted the Mannequin 3 towards his Duramax truck in a tug of struggle.

This incident shouldn’t be taken for example of the Mannequin 3’s sturdiness. Relatively, it ought to be taken as a lesson that there are precise penalties to sure actions.
