tesla seats - red wine


Just like its CEO, Tesla loves using its Twitter account to sing its own praises. That, however, means that every post is met with hoards of real people exposing its lies and half-truths in the comments — also just like the replies to its CEO’s account.


Case in point: Yesterday, Tesla shared a video to promote its stain-resistant white seats by pouring red wine all over them. But while the video shows someone easily wiping away the mess with paper towels, a real-life car detailer called BS. “I’ve detailed these cars before,” @TheWapplehouse tweeted, “and the only way this video is real is if they’ve put multiple layers of hydrophobic protectant on the seat first.”




Meanwhile, other viewers took the video as an invitation to critique Tesla’s interiors overall. “The entire car feels cheap,” @MamboFloof commented. “You are paying for the name like it’s a luxury brand, when in fact you are buying what’s essentially an Electric Mitsubishi.”




Then there were the commenters who just wanted to know why Tesla thought a bottle of red wine was the best choice for its demonstration. “Thank goodness,” @b01dface tweeted sarcastically. “I can’t drive ANYWHERE without spilling a glass of wine.”


No word on how well the stain-resistant seats handle blood in the driverless Tesla models.
