Driving the first most stupid mistake into a lake was his second most stupid mistake.

Whenever I see one of those ridiculous piles of s*&^, I always assume the driver is a giant douchebag.

Stories like this don't help.

There's driving it into a lake, sliding off a road with a little bit of slush/snow on it (and getting towed out of the ditch by a Ford IIRC), shooting the car thinking it's actually bullet proof...

What did I miss?

The two happiest days in the life of an owner of a Tesla Cyberboat: the day you pull out of the dealership parking lot, and the day the thing is shipwrecked and scuttled. Good luck with your insurance payout, and don't forget to take all those extra-strength stupid pills from the glove box ...

If you're dumb enough to buy one, you're dumb enough to drive it into a lake.
