Congratulations to Elon Musk for making cars so bad that no-one can tell if a carbomb has just happened or if the car just did that.

@kevinrns @Nickiquote When NHTSA says your vehicle Brand is the deadliest, it is a very big deal.

@meltedcheese @kevinrns @Nickiquote not to mention #Tesla's #ProdictionQuality & #QualityControl is so bd, neither #IFA (#Trabant) nor #Zastava (#Yugo) would've dared to ship such shotty-made cars to customers!

@kkarhan @meltedcheese @kevinrns @Nickiquote IFA/Sachsenring had many problems

bad qualitycontrol wasn't one of them

Trabant was just build decades longer than it would have in capitalist countries (otoh the original VW Käfer was build and sold even longer? so maybe not?) and "everyone" in the GDR got one.

So they were around for a loooooong time. They were easy to fix too. (simple tech does that)

If you look at it with 1990 eyes, the specs were horrible. But in 1965 it was a different story

@drazraeltod @meltedcheese @kevinrns @Nickiquote shure, they were on a low quality standard and nowadays people mock them but back then they at least made shure doorseams and stuff wasn't crooked!
