Tesla Master Thread
« on: November 15, 2018, 08:34:34 PM »
This is fascinating -- especially since these multi-level glitches came from an actual high-tech company:  https://www.dansdeals.com/more/dans-commentary/went-tesla-delivery-hell-tesla-giving-control-site-forums-1-5-million-tesla-account-contacts/

The best part would be if your whole "Dan'sDeals" name was on listed as your user ID their forums instead of just "Dan". This would be huge PR and exposure!

Just finished reading, truly a remarkable story and read. And IMO, Dan's honesty was a real Kidush Hashem!

Leave it to @Dan will probably end up getting paid for having bought the car with the bounty report. Kind of like your Swiss luggage debacle
Plus the publicity from the post.

I'm curious to see Elon Musk's reaction and response to this... I am sure that the online Tesla forum conversation speculations will also get to him shortly.

Was a beautiful, but then again wacky story.
 I enjoyed where he managed to wipe the forum clean.
Can you imagine he accidentally wiped the forum on ddf clean? I can't.

 Was a great story, im sure there's more to the story then what dan disclosed, as dan didn't really say much to what happened after he told them about the data breach.
Yes he got an email...

 Surprising that a company worth a few Billion $ can't have a group of IT ppls who are managing the forum and making sure the sites are secured and well protected from a regular consumer breaching into their system.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

The company has been applying 110% of its focus and manpower on Model 3 production. I assume delivery and customer service will improve once they manage to sustain these levels of production. Certainly the last thing on Musk's mind is the silly forums.
If you don't care why would you comment?

Exactly why service is so bad.

Well written.
These things do happen to big companies when their focus is on something else.
They probably just opened the forums for traffic purposes. Especially as we see the administrators are so inactive on it.
