Norway is said to be ``the overwhelmingly number one Tesla country in the world'' because ``the number of Teslas per capita is the highest in the world''.
Looking purely at the number of units sold, it seems that the United States and China are selling better, but Norway still has the largest amount of Tesla per capita.
Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, was staying in Norway to participate in the 2022 Energy Conference.
Along with that, Norwegian Tesla owners exploded their dissatisfaction with Tesla from the usual towards Elon.
17 Tesla owners gathered and appealed to create the letter "HELP" with Tesla and say "I want you to meet Mr. Elon Mask".
The reason is that Tesla owners have various problems related to Tesla, so the purpose was to discuss with Mr. Elon that they would like to share and solve those problems.
Tesla problems with Tesla owners
By the way, owner complaints against Tesla are as follows:
- car won't run in cold weather
- Door handle won't open in cold weather
- I hear a creaking sound
- Car won't run when warm
- Bubbles on the seat
- The front seats rattle
- The trunk lid is full of rain water
- Autopilot not working properly
- Internet is slow and not working properly
- wipers not working properly
- Car creaks over bumps on the road
- Decorative molding loosens
- lights not working properly
- doors stop working properly
- the door opens by itself
- computer not working
- There is a yellow border around the display screen
- windows do not close completely
- System randomly resets
- I'm having trouble charging
- power weakens
- (especially model 3) has rust even though it's new
- The paint is so bad that it needs to be repainted
- I've always heard that charging is free, but the new charging station doesn't fit my car
- Shorter battery life than Tesla says
- there is a problem with the air conditioner
- Sending the car in for repair does not solve all problems
- Tesla says they'll contact me, but I haven't heard back.
- I have to wait a long time to get through to Tesla on the phone
No ~, there are quite a few (laughs)!
Even so, "the car doesn't run when it's cold" and "the car doesn't run when it's warm". Well, I guess it depends on the individual...
These protests are called "hunger strikes".
The original meaning is ``We (participants) will fast until we can meet Mr. Elon! (Of course, there is no difference in appealing this time, but the hunger strike is only a name and does not mean that you will actually fast until you can meet Mr. Elon).
Come on, come on.
It was on August 28, 2022 that this tweet "I did a hunger strike!"
And here is what Mr. Elon Musk posted on Twitter on August 29, 2022, the day after that.
The content was, "Recently, I've been fasting on a regular basis due to a friend's recommendation~ & I feel healthy" (laughs).
I'm not sure if this is a comment about the hunger strike in Norway or just tweeting about my fasting experience at really bad coincidence.
But the day after he went on a hunger strike against Tesla, Elon muttered, "Fasting makes me feel a little healthier" (laughs).
It's not a laughing matter for owners who want to do something about their car's problems, but it was an event that made me want to say "I want Elon!"
