I mean, I'm glad Tesla built a fix, but it's sort of tacky to ship a $75,000+ truck and then sell the fireproofing separately.

Isn't that guy a con-man?

His videos are all bullshit.

I don't watch his stuff, I only knew about the name because of coffeezilla. Did some digging, and he has been arrested twice for tax evasion. And got a mail order bride from Russia.

Depends on your definition of con-man. He has been arrested and charged for tax evasion. As far as I know he isn't "conman" as such as having conned/frauded say viewers or so on out of money.

Well, there is this. Also, just found a video of him getting arrested, because of tax fraud.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

They said he was arrested for tax evasion.

[–] CanadianCarl@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 days ago

He was arrested twice for it.
