WE TOOK OUR MAD MAX OFF-ROAD TESLA MODEL 3 TO THE SUPERCHARGER AND WERE PLEASANTLY DISAPPOINTED

EV Channels Review

The Rich Rebuilds channel showcases their "Mad Max" off-road Tesla Model 3, pushing its limits through mud and water. While the vehicle demonstrates surprising capability in extreme conditions, the experiment highlights the fragility of its stock components, with bumpers detaching and control arms needing upgrades for serious off-roading. A key focus is the attempt to use Tesla Superchargers with a salvaged Model 3. Initially, the car successfully charges after a payment method is added, suggesting a shift in Tesla's policy for salvaged vehicles, potentially driven by revenue rather than safety concerns as previously claimed. However, this success is short-lived, as charging is quickly disabled. The reviewer expresses disappointment, likening the experience to taking back an abusive ex, indicating a loss of faith in Tesla's practices and a move towards other platforms for daily driving.
