Tesla Owner Blows Up His 2013 Model S With 60lbs Of Dynamite

Tesla owner Tuomas Katainen became so fed up with expensive repair costs, error messages and awful customer service from Tesla that he blew up his 2013 Model S with 60 pounds of dynamite.

In the video, Katainen explains how he towed his Tesla to a local dealership where it sat for about a month before hearing back. Once he finally did, it was not with good news. Katainen, from Finland, was told that he would have to replace the entire battery cell and that it would cost $22,000. Not just that but Tesla would need to give its permission for mechanics to make the repair.

It goes without saying that the goal of the video is probably to grab Tesla’s attention and ultimately convince them to address on going performance issues of their vehicles. The destroyed Tesla even included a doll driver with the face of Elon Musk.
