Tuomas Katainen blew up his Model S with 60 pounds of explosives because he was fed up with expensive repair costs, error messages and poor customer service.
The footage of the Model S destruction was shared by a YouTube channel that regularly posts videos of large explosions.
In the video, Katainen explains how he towed his car to the dealership and waited for his response. It wasn't good news when he finally did. The entire battery cell would need to be replaced for just over $22,000 and the company would need to give permission for the repair.
In the video, Katainen says he is going to explode the whole car.
All about the views.
The goal of the video is to get the attention of the company and convince them to address issues. The destroyed car had a doll driver with the face of the CEO of the company printed on it.
Musk has been busy with other things, so he won't notice the video. Even if he did see it, Musk is a troll. He will recognize the stunt for what it is. As the team hides in their Bunker from the blast, they show off multiple slow-mo camera angles of the detonation and walk away to a helicopter, which plays superhero action movie music in the background.
If we are skeptical of the owner's intentions, you will excuse us. It is possible that an organized protest or calls to lawmakers to investigate the oversights of the company could improve safety and production for all owners. This video is for shock value, and probably won't change anything.
There are more lawsuits about the Musk Feud with Elizabeth Warren.
