Tesla, the electric car company of prominent industrialist Elon Musk, who has flagged his height around the world, remains in the headlines every day. Indian customers are also eagerly waiting for Tesla’s electric cars for the past few months. But in the meantime Tesla is once again in the news and this time the matter is a little different. In Finland, a man has blasted his Tesla car worth crores with dynamite.
A video of this entire matter has also been uploaded on YouTube. According to media reports, Tumas Katanen, a resident of Finland, decided to blow up his 2013 Tesla Model S car with dynamite. It is being told that Tumas was upset with some of the functions and software performance of this car.
According to the video uploaded on YouTube (English sub-titles are available), after buying the car everything was fine for a few days but later the vehicle owner noticed several error codes in the car’s instrument cluster and took the car to the Tesla Service Center. A tow truck was also required to transport the car and the car was taken to the service center.

After a month, the car owner received information from the company that the sedan could not be repaired without replacing the entire battery pack, which would cost him $22,480. Since the car was about eight years old, there was no warranty available for it. There were other costs involved in its repair as well. Therefore, the unhappy Tesla owner decided to blow up the car using 30 kg of dynamite.
Not only this, to show his protest against Tesla and company owner Elon Musk, Tumas also placed a dummy (effigy) of Tesla CEO Elon Musk in his car before burning it. A video was also shot of this entire incident, which has been prepared by a team. Perhaps this is the first such case in the world in which a person has blasted a Tesla car with dynamite.
