However, as a substitute of paying that ridiculous quantity to repair his Tesla, Katainen determined to go along with a extra attention-grabbing and entertaining plan, which was to strap dynamite to it and blow it up. According to Katainen, his Model S ran completely advantageous for the primary 1,500km after he had purchased it, however after that he began to get a variety of error codes and despatched it to a Tesla vendor to get it repaired.
His automobile spent a month within the workshop earlier than he was advised that there was nothing they might do for him, except he was prepared to interchange the battery. As $22,600 isn’t any small sum, and will go a great distance in the direction of buying one other used Model S in Finland, Katainen determined to not associate with it.
