Agreed. When #Tesla #robotaxis use our nation's roads as their test track, the taxpayers who pay for those roads and everyone who shares them deserves to know what the **BLEEP** is going on. @tesla-takedown.bsky.social @divesttesla.bsky.social

Good news for #California folks who lost their homes to #wildfires. Not a total solution, but important and meaningful relief. TY @governor.ca.gov

#Tesla door handles may not work in a crash -- with potentially horrific results. Interesting hack may help. cleantechnica.com/2025/09/21/t...

Would #Tesla #Robotaxis pass an ordinary driver's test? Very questionable. @tesla-takedown.bsky.social #Musk #safety #autonomous #vehicles @safe4u2.bsky.social @autosafety.org

#Hyundai recalls over 500,000 Palisades due to faulty seat belts that may not latch. Seat belts are huge lifesavers, but only if they're latched. www.caranddriver.com/news/a679661...

YIKES!!

HORRIFIC. @autosafety.org @tesla-takedown.bsky.social @shuasanchez.bsky.social @divesttesla.bsky.social @nationalconsumers.bsky.social #Tesla #Musk

BRAVO Senator Ben Allen for championing the CA CARS Act including a 3-day cooling off period for used car buyers. Imagine getting a refund for any reason after having time to read paperwork & get the car inspected. Game changer! @governor.ca.gov Pls sign #SB766 www.youtube.com/watch?v=egWo...

Kudos to @DanaHull & @bloomberglp.bsky.social for reporting about NHTSA probe of #Tesla door handles that fail to open in emergencies. What could go wrong? Everything. @tesla-takedown.bsky.social @shuasanchez.bsky.social @safe4u2.bsky.social @autosafety.org

Good to see National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigating #Tesla over doors that fail to open. Some owners reportedly resorted to breaking windows to rescue children who were trapped inside. @teslatakedown.com @shuasanchez.bsky.social www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Many #California consumers are struggling to afford to buy a car. Republican Senate Minority Leader Brian Jones apparently is blissfully unaware. @davidlaz.bsky.social @erinwitte-cfa.bsky.social @consumerfed.bsky.social @chuckbell.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_0V...

#California new & used car buyers are close to having new rights and protections under #SB766, championed by @benallenca.bsky.social. BRAVO @erinwitte-cfa.bsky.social @chuckbell.bsky.social & all supporters! We're all hoping @governor.ca.gov will sign the bill, making cars more affordable in CA.

More American car buyers are falling behind on car payments. Repossessions are on the rise. Sometimes that leads to homelessness. Great reporting by @blinfisher.bsky.social in @usatoday.com. @consumerfed.bsky.social @nclc4consumers.bsky.social www.usatoday.com/story/money/...

Live in #California? Buying a new or used car is close to becoming more affordable + less risky. IF CA Legislature + #GovernorNewsom pass the CA Combating Auto Retail Scams Act. Including honest pricing + a first-in-the nation 3-day cooling off period for used cars. carconsumers.org/blog/2025/09...

🚨 Beware: car dealers commonly lowball vehicle owners on trade-ins. It usually pays to shop around. If your vehicle is a lemon, fight back & go for a refund from the manufacturer. YOU should not have to take a loss when the manufacturer makes a defective product. www.torquenews.com/18003/my-202...

Hmmm...getting rid of "old" safety standards without having safeguards against foreseeable hazards such as hacking or cyberattacks, or requiring #autonomous vehicles to pass a basic driver's test...what could go wrong? 🙄 #Tesla @tesla-takedown.bsky.social cleantechnica.com/2025/09/06/n...

Live in #California? Had your car towed away and sold? The DMV may owe you some $$$.... Great reporting by @calireporter.bsky.social and @CalMatters. #DMVDrama #TowedCar @nclc4consumers.bsky.social @consumercal.bsky.social

Don't like getting scammed? Miss the pro-consumer watchdogs that made crooked banks / lenders give back $21 billion to their victims, American consumers? @nteu335.bsky.social folks have a message for you.... @consumerfed.bsky.social

Heartbreaking. So sad. For anyone who loves dogs, brings tears... #Tesla #Musk #Teslatakedown #dogs

Care about your personal #privacy? Don't want to become a victim of #identitytheft? Yipes.... @erinwitte-cfa.bsky.social

Uh-oh...our sympathies...This happens all too often. Sometimes right after someone buys a used car and drives it until the error codes, which were deliberately erased, kick in again.

Brilliant! Also a great way to de-clutter.

Worrisome signs.... #economy #inflation #prices

Once again, #Ford has to recall more vehicles to fix potentially deadly safety defects. www.consumeraffairs.com/news/car-saf...

#California is close to becoming the first state in the US to give used car buyers a 3-day cooling-off period to return cars for any reason + get a refund. There are some limits, but this promises to empower millions of car buyers to reject sour deals. app.publicnewsservice.org/story/ca-law...?

Risks of kids being harmed by SUVs are real.

Anyone think it's a good idea to trust #Tesla #FullselfDriving to navigate around construction zones? @tesla-takedown.bsky.social @divesttesla.bsky.social

#California car buyers will save $$ millions each year IF #CALEG passes #SB766, authored by Senator Ben Allen. Making buying a new or used car more affordable + less risky. Includes a first-in-US 3-day cooling-off period for used cars for $50,000 or less. app.publicnewsservice.org/story/ca-law...?

🚨 YIKES!!! Could have been total disaster, claiming many innocent lives. NO way to drive a car. FULL STOP. 🚨

Your life is precious. BEWARE of @carmax.com. They fail to get FREE repairs done to fix deadly safety recall defects. Including faulty brakes, loss of steering, catching on fire, and ticking time bomb #Takata airbags. #LaborDay #LaborDayweekend www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9lD...

Shopping for a car over #LaborDayWeekend? Beware of @carmax.com. They routinely sell cars with hazardous unrepaired safety recall defects, like bad brakes, loss of steering, catching on fire, and ticking time bomb killer #Takata airbags.

Great reporting by @faizsays.bsky.social. Sheds light on heartbreaking tragedy caused in great part by #Tesla on #Autopilot. Bravo to the hacker who finally found telltale video, despite Tesla's claims it was not accessible. TRUTH is powerful when it comes to light. @tesla-takedown.bsky.social

Survey: #Tesla "full self-driving" isn't exactly popular, even among Tesla owners -- many opt not to use it. Mixed messaging and hype about its capabilities doesn't help. @tesla-takedown.bsky.social @shuasanchez.bsky.social www.cnbc.com/2025/08/28/t...

🚨 Mitsubishi recalls over 91,000 Outlanders due to defect that can cause the tailgate to slam shut. OUCH!! Be sure to get this fixed right away. Under federal law, repairs are free for vehicle owners. autos.yahoo.com/articles/mit...

#Tesla apparently underestimated how a jury would react to having the truth about their harmful practices revealed in open court. #Teslatakedown @shuasanchez.bsky.social

🚨Without "pesky" regulations, giant sleazebag corporations can get away with committing fraud, mayhem, and murder. @nationalconsumers.bsky.social @consumerfed.bsky.social

🚨 Very sad. Ticking timebomb #Takata airbags continue to injure and kill drivers and passengers. Other states such as #California #Ohio #Maryland issue warnings about unrepaired safety recalls with vehicle registrations / renewals. Why not #Louisiana? www.carcomplaints.com/news/2025/to...

#TESLA faces new federal probe over whether it's concealing data about crashes involving #Autopilot and #FSD. www.consumeraffairs.com/news/tesla-f...

Federal judge: I warned my children NOT to buy a car from @carmax.com. Smart judge. Onto how CarMax operates. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIQL...

Can you trust @carmax.com to get deadly safety recall defects fixed before they sell you a car? NO!!! They're too cheap to pay employees to take unsafe cars to franchised dealers for FREE recall repairs. Don't become their next victim. www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1YQ...

If #Tesla can't even manage to report crashes on time, why should anyone trust them to be in control of cars driven on public roads? #TeslaTakedown #Tesla #Musk @shuasanchez.bsky.social
