Tesla cars have a few biggest problems that make them less than perfect. If you're considering buying one, read on to find out about the 15 major issues Tesla cars have.

1. They have a poor build quality

Tesla cars have a lot of problems with their build quality. The interiors are designed well, but the materials used to make them are often low-quality, which causes a lot of issues down the road. Even some of the exterior parts of Tesla cars wear out after only a few months. If tesla cars were of good quality there would be no issues of bolts rusting off, fuses sticking out, or paint peeling off.

However, not everything on tesla is of poor quality. The roof and the body panels are all made from high-quality materials, and their interiors are nice as well.

2. They are expensive to maintain

The batteries on tesla cars have to be taken care of to keep them running, but the repairs that you have to do can cost you a lot the maintenance costs on tesla cars are more than any car, and they are more expensive than the maintenance costs of other electric cars as well. If you compare it up to other cars that use gas, their cost is still high.

They also have unnecessary repairs needed, like fixing a computer or replacing parts that are not broken. Tesla cars are great when they work, but if you want to get them fixed right away, they can be expensive. The average maintenance cost of a tesla is around $1100 a year, which is much more than most other cars out there.

3. Replacing the batteries is a hassle

There's a big problem with the batteries in Tesla cars. They have long warranties which say they will last for 8 years, but after that warranty runs out the batteries can cost thousands of dollars to replace. The main issue with replacing the batteries is that you cannot remove them from your car yourself. Additionally, you have to go direct to Tesla to get the right type of battery. The main types of batteries are lithium and nickel-metal hydride. You cannot replace these batteries yourself with a traditional model.

4. Tesla cars have issues with autopilot features

The self-driving features on tesla cars are great. They can steer, accelerate and decelerate without any human assistance, but they also have a lot of driver-related problems. The sensors are supposed to be able to detect pedestrians, signs, and other vehicles, but they can't do that well all the time.

It is impossible to detect every little thing out there, but tesla cars don't even register some things that other cars should. When it does work, the autopilot feature is awesome, but it can be dangerous when it does not work.

5. Lacks a towing capacity

If you plan on towing anything with your tesla car. prepare yourself for the worst. Tesla cars do not have a towing capacity of 2,500 pounds like other cars, which makes them much less comfortable to tow with. Many others can tow up to 8,000 pounds without issues, but tesla cannot handle that.

It will limit you on what you can do, as well as how you can use your car. Also, if you want to pull a boat or trailer of any kind, tesla cars are high-tech, and coming off the road for long periods can cause problems.

6. More Rattling in the suspension

Tesla cars have a lot of problems with the suspension system. It is supposed to last a long time, and it could be, but that's not true for all Tesla cars. There are many different types of vehicles out there, and not all Tesla cars have the same suspensions. It makes it hard for them to handle bumps on the road and decreases their overall lifespan.

Bumps do something that shocks tesla cars more than other cars. The shocks are not made to handle the way tesla cars' suspension handles bumps, which often ruins their suspension. It can start to rattle and shake in the front of the car and it can be very annoying.

7. The power steer fails occasionally

Tesla cars have an electric power steering system that makes them feel like they are sports cars, but it will fail sometimes. It's not a problem most days, but if you're involved in an accident the power steering can make your car feel like it's going to fall off the road. There are also reports of other drivers seeing the power steer system going in and out of sync while driving which can be dangerous. While turning, you can feel the steering take a few seconds to respond, and it makes driving a little less enjoyable.

8. Frequent wear of tires

This may seem like a problem that many cars have, but it is more of a problem with a Tesla car. They have tires that wear out too fast, and they think that the problem is with the tires themselves. They claim the tires have uneven tread on both sides of the tire, but this isn't what's causing the problems. The wheels are not perfectly aligned to their center axis, and it makes the tire wear out much faster than it should.

Also, if you have a tesla car that has a lot of miles on it. The tires will likely wear out. Buying new tires can make your car a lot safer, and it will increase the life of your tesla car.

9. Lacks car dealership support

If you ever have problems with your tesla car, you will be on your own. Tesla cars do not have a traditional dealership support system, and they are all independent of each other. Many people rely on their car dealerships to fix problems and help them choose the right car for their needs.

If your local tesla dealer is the only one around, then you're out of luck. You can go to other dealerships, but it might be harder for you to find the kind of car you want. If you're looking at purchasing a traditional car. then you should look into the dealership system and make sure that it works for you.

10. Stereotypical customer service

Tesla cars are pretty much new. so they do not have a traditional customer service system. If you have a problem with your tesla car. you will be on your own. You could go to Tesla's website, but it's not like a traditional website where you can get help right away. Many people turn to forums and communities to help them with their problems when they're having issues with their tesla car or other vehicles. Having decent customer service would be a great addition to their cars, and it would help them earn more customers.

11. Problem with Touch screen Cruise Control Adjustment

The main problem is that it is located on the center touchscreen and can be distracting. If you are paying attention to the road, you could end up in the wrong direction by mistake. The "clicking" sound that causes a lot of distraction also makes it hard to avoid traffic when you're merging onto a freeway.

12. Buggy updates

Tesla is notorious for releasing new versions of their software, and they constantly release updates that fix bugs and improve the user experience. However. these updates are often buggy and might end up making the car worse than it was before they were installed.

Tesla cars have had problems with their updates. Even though it was fixed in a few days, this kind of problem could happen again in the future.

Besides. there have been cases where the update breaks the car's connectivity. These types of crashes can be avoided by getting an emergency battery pack.

13. Not good on snow

Tesla cars are not good in the snow, since their tires are generally not good at moving through rough or slippery conditions. Tesla cars fall short when it comes to having enough power to climb steep hills or even to move through heavy snow storms.

Tesla cars may not be as good at driving down icy roads, because they're designed to be less sensitive to cold weather than other vehicles.

Also, their tires tend to stay much cleaner than those of other cars. The snow tracked by the Tesla car tires is better to meet and keep the car moving safely.

14. Cold Battery Degradation

This is related to the 13th problem. Tesla experts claim that a cold battery can only travel for about 60 miles, which is almost half the distance compared to what it can travel in moderate temperatures. It makes Tesla cars not great for people who live in cold climates.

Although the current produced by a cold battery is smaller, however, it still has a lot of energy in it This energy can be used to facilitate the lifting effect of an electromagnet. Hence, cold batteries are the most suitable for transmitting high voltage electricity through wires, but they do not help provide power to everyday objects like cars or homes due to their low power output and low output current.

15. Unreliable dashboard warning lights

The dashboard warning lights are probably the most necessary feature of a car. It tells you when your oil pressure needs to be checked or when your tire pressure has inflated.

In Tesla's case, the dashboard warning lights are unreliable. The online community has complained about how their meters go off randomly, which can be confusing for the driver because they don't know if it is real or fake. This problem creates a lot of unnecessary stress and seriously reduces the safety factor of Tesla cars.

The Bottom Line

Tesla cars are very cool and unique, but they are not the best car to buy. The big problem that Tesla owners have with their cars is the poor build quality, expensive maintenance, and they are no car dealership support for them...

If you are looking to buy a Tesla car, then make sure you keep these problems in mind before you purchase it.

'Extraordinary': George Washington's 250-year-old cherries found buried at Mount Vernon

Uncovered jars reveal centuries-old cherries

When Beard further revealed the jars, he called other archeologists to come check his findings.

The jars were fully excavated on March 22. The cherries were removed from the bottles to help preserve the glass, but after April 30, the glass will be sent off for conservation. Its contents will be sent to a lab for analysis and be tested in a controlled environment by specialists, according to a press release from Mount Vernon.

"It's extraordinary," Jason Boroughs, principal archaeologist at Mount Vernon, told USA TODAY on Tuesday, saying something similar has only happened twice in Virginia in the past six decades:

 

 

Archeologists work to uncover jars of cherries in Mount Vernon cellar.

What was in the jar?

Beard and Boroughs said that cherries and a mystery liquid were found in the jar. And the cherries, Boroughs said, actually look like cherries, even after hundreds of years.

"They're plump, they have flesh, they have pits and stems," Boroughs said. "They don't look as if they've been sitting in a bottle for 250 years, although they have."

The liquid inside even smelled like cherry blossoms, according to Mount Vernon.

Containers with samples of the liquid found inside the cherry jars.

The cherries in the bottles were probably dry when they were buried, Boroughs said.

While the archeologists know what the cherries are, the liquid is still a bit of a mystery.

Lily Carhart, curator of the preservation collections at Mount Vernon, said it's possible the groundwater got into the bottle after the cork that sealed it deteriorated.

The liquid still needs to be tested, Boroughs said. And there is a small possibility it could've been a type of alcohol, like a brandy or cognac.

The glass jars were emptied to preserve the glass. They will be sent for conservation, and the liquid contents inside will be sent to a lab for analysis, states a press release from Mount Vernon.

Why were the cherries buried?

Enslaved laborers picked the cherries, wiped them off to avoid condensation and placed them into the jar. Then, that jar was corked and buried sometime between 1758 and 1776, when both George and Martha Washington were living at the home, according to Boroughs.

He added that the method would've kept the fruit inside the bottle preserved for up to a year. It was one of the most popular ways to preserve berries and its how folks in colonial America preserved food before there were refrigerators.

"It pretty much keeps them isolated and sealed from the atmosphere, from air and from fungus and other things that could attack" he said.

According to Boroughs, the cherries were supposed to be served on George Washington's dinner table, but instead were forgotten and buried under a brick floor that was placed in the 1770s, sealing its fate as a sort of a "time capsule."

The glass jars were emptied to preserve the glass. They will be sent for conservation, and the liquid contents inside will be sent to a lab for analysis, states a press release from Mount Vernon.

Can you still eat the cherries?

"You would not want to put that close to your face," Carhart said about the cherries.

Boroughs said that it could actually be possible to eat them, but "nobody wants to try."

Why is this discovery significant?

Boroughs said the discovery is remarkable because he "can't count the number of times 18th-century food remains have been found intact" the way the cherries were.

"We're the first people to touch these objects since they were put in the ground by an enslaved person," Boroughs said.

While the discovery itself is incredible, the archeologist said the stories that can be uncovered from it are just as amazing.

"We think of these items sort of as the material bits of lives that we can recover from the ground," Boroughs said. "These bottles tell stories. They're attached to people who had real lives and if we know how to put the pieces together, we can piece together something about their lives."

Beard added that it feels "surreal" to have such an "immediate connection with the people that lived back then."

A surge of illegal border crossings has fuelled US political debate

On a blustery morning last month, volunteer Adriana Jasso raised the flaps to a tent propped up against the massive steel bars of the fence that straddles this stretch of the US-Mexico border. On her side, plastic tables were piled with apples, packets of hot chocolate, mylar blankets and stacks of ponchos - supplies waiting for hungry and tired migrants who had travelled for weeks, or even months, to reach California.

On the other side, visible through the gaps in the towering barrier, a group of more than 100 people - from countries including Ecuador, Colombia, China and Rwanda - huddled together, waiting to be let through on to US soil. This border point south of San Diego is now one of the busiest along the entire US-Mexico frontier, which stretches around 1,950 miles (3,140km) from here to eastern Texas and the Gulf of Mexico.

A record surge of illegal border crossings in recent years has fuelled the debate over immigration and border security, emerging as a key voter concern ahead of the US presidential election in November. While the border crisis has mostly centred on Texas, where Republican Governor Greg Abbott has waged a fight with President Joe Biden over his immigration policies, recent figures show the geography of the US migration problem is shifting west to border states like Arizona and California.

In San Ysidro, some 16 miles south of wealthy San Diego, crossings were up 85% in February from the previous year compared with Texas, which saw illegal entries dip during the same period. The BBC's US partner CBS reported that in January, the border crossing in Del Rio, Texas, recorded a few hundred apprehensions a day - compared to 2,300 daily migrant crossings in December.

The migrant flow shift is due in part to the Texas governor's clampdown on illegal migration and Mexican authorities tightening security across the border as well.

The sheer number of people arriving has overwhelmed resources in the San Diego area; after migrants are apprehended and processed at a facility near the border, local officials told the BBC that up to 1,000 people a day are being released at city train and bus stops.

Just after 8am, Border Patrol agents arrived and opened the gate to begin intake on the strip of land where migrants have been waiting. Men are allowed only one layer of clothing, women and children two; they line up and pull off jackets and shoelaces (which are not allowed at the processing centre due to safety concerns), packing them into plastic bags or backpacks. From there, they file on to buses and head to a processing centre, where they are registered and can file a claim for asylum. The vast majority are heading to towns and cities across the US where they have family, friends and networks.

The influx of migrants scattered across the country has strained communities, frustrating local officials and placing immigration at the top of the political agenda. A Wall Street Journal poll released in March ranked immigration among the top two issues for registered voters in seven battleground states - Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. At least 72% of those voters across the seven states said the country's immigration policy and border security were heading in the wrong direction, according to the survey.

The sheer number of people arriving has overwhelmed resources along California's southern border

Even in California, the nation's largest Democratic stronghold, 62% of registered voters said US borders were not secure in preventing illegal border crossings compared to 30% who said they were secure, according to a UC Berkeley Institute of Government Studies poll released in January.

Former President Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, has accused Mr Biden of creating a "bloodbath" at the US-Mexico border. The president accused Mr Trump of scuppering a bipartisan immigration bill for political gain.

The border featured heavily during President Trump's time in office - his administration built roughly 15 miles of new barriers and reinforced or increased the height along another 350 miles of existing border wall structure. That includes near San Diego, where the Trump administration completed bollard fencing in 2019 that juts into the Pacific Ocean along a stretch of beach just north of Tijuana, Mexico, to stop migrants from swimming into the country. According to a study published in the JAMA medical journal, this has led to a significant increase in migrant drowning deaths.

Nora Vargas, chairwoman of the Board of Supervisors in San Diego County, has witnessed ups and downs of migration over several years. Since the Biden administration in May 2023 lifted Title 42, a pandemic-era policy that allowed US officials to expel migrants who came to the border, Vargas says around 80,000 migrants have arrived through San Diego County.

The Biden administration's attempt to stop migrants from crossing illegally and encourage them to apply for asylum via an app has been plagued by technical issues, and it has not appeared to slow the number of people crossing, due to the push factors like violence and poverty, says Vargas.

"We should be able to find ways to ensure that people are treated with dignity, with respect, especially if you're fleeing persecution," she said.

Vargas tells the BBC her county had an effective solution for mitigating the crisis: migrant transitional centres, or short-term facilities where newly arrived migrants could access food and medical treatment, charge their phones, and plan their next steps: migrants arriving here are not staying. Instead, they're moving on to other towns and cities across the US, where they have a network of family or friends.

But as the numbers of asylum seekers arriving everyday ticked up, the county exhausted its funding. Vargas wrote an urgent letter to the White House in February, asking for federal assistance to help cover the estimated $1.5m (£1.2m) a month required to operate the facilities.

Funding didn't arrive, however. The county was forced to close the transitional centre. Vargas blames Congress for failing to pass the Senate's bipartisan package of measures including funding for tackling the immigration crisis at the border.

The Trump administration built roughly 15 miles of new border barriers

In the absence of transitional centres, Border Patrol agents are now dropping off some 900 people a day at bus and train stations in San Diego, a city of around 1.3 million people. At the Iris Avenue Transit Center, a swelling crowd of migrants milled around on a Sunday afternoon earlier this month, exhausted and relieved.

Men and women from Brazil, India, China and Latin America called family members and consulted maps, trying to plot a path to their final destination. A group of young men from Guinea told the BBC they'd fled political instability, flying to Istanbul, then to Colombia, then trekking to the US.

"Nobody wants to leave their home," a young woman from Ecuador said, blaming gangs and mafia groups in her home country that created an atmosphere of fear and violence.

Two men from Medellín, Colombia, told the BBC they made the journey to the US to find work.

Jim Desmond, a member of the San Diego County Board of Supervisors, visited the Iris Transit Center recently and told the BBC that non-profits are helping many of the migrants get to the airport, where they are hoping to secure a ticket to their final destination. Now, the airport itself is becoming a shelter, he says.

"To have tourists come, you know off a flight or they're leaving, we don't want it to be their first or last impression, to see people sleeping and spending the night at San Diego airport," he said.

Desmond is raising the alarm in his county over what he calls the unimpeded flow of people, many of whom he believes have not been properly vetted. It is not Congress, he says, but the White House that should be finding pathways to bolster legal immigration and swiftly clamp down on those who cross illegally.

The White House has signalled that President Biden is eyeing executive action on securing the border, in lieu of a bill from Congress. California Governor Gavin Newsom, who has referred to the asylum system as "broken" and called for federal support for states and cities, has sought to put the blame squarely on Republican lawmakers and Mr Trump for rejecting border legislation.

"It used to be in the Obama administration, in the Trump administration, and Bush and even Clinton, that migrants coming across the border illegally would run from border patrol agents. Now they're running to them," Desmond said. "And they're being processed and being dropped off and jumping ahead of the line. And anytime you have some entity that allows people to jump ahead of the line, chaos ensues."

Back in San Ysidro, a young woman named Olga, wearing a transparent poncho over a pink winter coat, gripped a cup of coffee as she explained that she'd departed Ecuador four weeks earlier, to escape a different kind of chaos - soaring gang violence and economic hardship.

She left three children with family in Ecuador and is hoping to reunite with her fourth child, who is in the US. The journey had shaken her. "There were good people but also bad people," she said through tears.

Man, 110, who still drives his car every day has simple tips for long life

She and her brother periodically check Dransfield’s driving to make sure that he’s doing OK. Family, friends and doctors are amazed by his healthy longevity, she says, noting she has more health issues at 49 than her grandfather does at 110.

When Dransfield required an endoscopy recently for a swallowing problem, the medical staff was stunned he’d only had anesthesia once before in his entire life, Lista says. She noticed the anesthesiologist’s hands were shaking when he administered the medicine into a 110-year-old man.

It’s uncommon for men to live to 100 — only 15% percent of centenarians are male, according to the New England Centenarian Study based at Boston University. The reasons are unclear.

The club of supercentenarians — people who live to 110 or older — is even more exclusive. Men make up only about 10% of this age group, the study notes.

The oldest man in the world is currently 111 and lives in England, according to the Gerontology Research Group, which maintains a list of validated supercentenarians. Dransfield is currently the 8th oldest man on the list.

Born on March 28, 1914, Dransfield not only enjoys incredible longevity, but healthy longevity, with a fit mind and body. He says he has never had major diseases, like cancer or heart disease. Dransfield has just always been healthy, and has no headaches or backaches, Lista adds.

“I’ve been very, very, very lucky in my lifetime," Dransfield told TODAY.com in 2023.

He has one child, three grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. His wife of 54 years died in 1992.

Many family members, friends and firefighters recently gathered at the firehouse where he once served as chief to celebrate his 110th birthday.

“The craziest part is just how excited people are to talk about him and celebrate him,” Lista says. “It’s just so heartwarming to see how many people think he’s as special as we do.”

Here is what to know about the supercentenarian and his advice for living a long life:

Spend time doing what you love

Dransfield spent more than 80 years serving as a member of the local volunteer fire department and was the chief for a period of time.

When asked what brought him happiness and kept him going in life, he quickly answers: “The fire department. … I met so many friends.”

Lista says her grandfather continued to be a regular at the fire house as he got older and was part of the “3 to 5 club.”

“After my grandmother passed away, that’s really what kept him going. Every day, he would go to the fire house from 3 to 5, and all the old guys would sit there and hang out. That was like his family,” she notes.

As for Dransfield’s professional life, he worked for 60 years — most of that as an auto parts manager — before retiring in his late 70s: “I still wanted to work, but my wife said, it’s time for you to quit,” he recalls.

Milk does a body good

Dransfield left school after 8th grade and went to work for a dairy farm at 15 to help support his family. He delivered milk for five years and drank as much of it as he wanted, which he attributes to giving him a healthy boost — especially during the Great Depression in the 1930s.

“I was drinking milk and eating well because I worked on a farm. And I often go back and think they gave me a good start in life and for my bones in my body,” Dransfield says.

Milk still plays a role in his life: The supercentenarian credits drinking Ovaltine — a milk flavoring and nutrition supplement — every day after breakfast for his longevity. He’s been so outspoken about it that when he when he turned 100, everyone drank Ovaltine at his birthday party, Lista says.

Stay active

Dransfield didn’t lift weights or exercise in a gym, but he kept moving throughout his life.

“I was 21 years old when I joined the fire department and that’s the exercise I got every day — answered the fire alarms in Little Falls,” he says.

“I was active and ran out when the alarm went off for 40 years. Then for the next 40 years, (I continued) when I felt like it.”

Structured exercise amuses him. “He laughs at people who jog. He’s like, ‘Where are they running to?’” his granddaughter says.

Enjoy what you eat

The supercentenarian likes Italian food, hamburgers, salad, milk chocolate and other sweets. He drinks a cup of coffee every day and occasionally drinks beer, but doesn’t enjoy other forms of alcohol.

He didn't exactly follow a Blue Zones diet.

“What’s crazy is he was not careful about his diet,” Lista says.

“He has eaten whatever he wants. He has never watched his weight. He’s never had to lose weight. He’s always been fit.”

At 110, Dransfield still cooks for himself, though that usually means heating up soup on the stove or microwaving prepared meals, Lista notes. He likes to buy meals from a restaurant down the road from his house.

It’s never too late to fix a bad habit

Dransfield started smoking when he was 50 after a fellow firefighter offered him a cigarette and he liked it. But about 20 years later, he quit.

“He told me one day that he was going to just stop smoking,” Lista recalls. “He threw the cigarettes out and that was it. He just never smoked again.”

Stay positive

Dransfield considers himself an optimist. He also has a great sense of humor and likes knowing everybody’s name in town, his granddaughter says.

"Knowing people and loving people makes me live longer," Dransfield says.

“He always had such a positive upbeat attitude, even when my grandmother passed away. He lived for her, but he was determined to keep on living,” Lista adds.

“I keep positive. I never think any other way when something’s wrong,” Dransfield notes.

“I’m doing fine and I hope the good Lord keeps me that way.”
