Considering there are only around 1000 cars in the Dallas metro area, the failure rate is mighty high. The service manager said the cars probably average a trip to the shop every 90 days for some sort of problem...... consumer reports even rates the Model S 'average' reliability.

Which might be ok if I was working a dealership... but as a Tesla employee, all those failures cost the company I was working for lots of money. A company that is relying on a billionaire and a seriously over-inflated stock price to keep it propped up.

Bundle all that with super-ultra-mega-micro-managing, and working their people until they have nervous breakdowns or quit.... I made a quick exit.... which by the way, I totally 100% believe the stories about a Tesla manager being scolded for missing a meeting, because of his child's birth. Because I worked with a guy who the regional director actually said to him, "You have to make a choice. Either Tesla, or your family."

You have to be committed to Tesla first, in order to work there.

On the bright side, I did kick some serious ass, and learned a ton about the cars while I was there.
You in Dallas? I didn't know that...

That meme is so true, it's insane. Road construction and traffic. That's all there really is.

Re: SERIOUSLY OT: Calling all chicks! IT'S PART 6!!

I think my Jeep leaks every fluid possible right now.... Oil leak from the rear seal, coolant leak from the upper radiator neck, rear diff leaks at the axle seals, atf leaks at the trans cooler, power steering fluid leaks at the steering box, and the AC loses charge so that's leaking somewhere too. The EPA is scheduling to have me executed any day now...

Haven't put it on craigslist locally just yet. Does need some work, but I can't take less than $2500 for it.

Nicer than what I'm looking for, I'm looking for an Ala Rust-o Bucket-o. Funny enough Rusty Bucket was my last girls nickname.
