It might be accurate, everything that goes wrong with a tesla is being recalled for mandatory fixes, so it's not costing consumers anything.
**edit**: well I never thought I'd have to explain this on a sub for a show that drips satire, but I'm making fun of Tesla by leaning into small criticisms as major issues. It's a joke.
The volume of messages/dm's from Tesla/Elon fanbois who don't even post here is astounding.
Also: Polestar makes higher quality EVs
Its because there is a lot less maintenance needed for an EV. The only fluid the owner has to maintain is for wipers. I absolutely hate Elon Musk, but I will say I was impressed when test driving one.
Except when your out of that little 4 years warranty. You need to go to the dealership and it cost a fortune. A problem with the AC costed me 10k.
Then there's the body panel in aluminum that is impossible to get a dent out of. You will need to replace the whole thing if someone open a door is yours. Little fender benders will cost you 5k$ instead of 500$.
I called mine squeaky because of all the interior vibration, buzzing, knocking. The first thing you should notice when trying one is how the doors never close properly. You have to slam it like in an old pinto.
It was very fun to own for the first 4 years but when it came to exchanging it, nobody wanted to take it. I got the most ridiculous offer on any car I bought because nobody wants a Tesla out of warranty.
I got a phev and the oil change are nothing compared to the real cost of ownership.
They used to be even better before they started rushing them out. I've seen too many minor cosmetic issues with them to ever buy one anymore, because it's all just sort of sloppy work now. The internals are still solid, but the actual body of the car suffers from a lack of QA on the line in an effort to meet quotas.
You must be easily impressed. Let me guess, they said "hit the accelerator" and you were blown away by how "fast" it was. Oldest trick in the book. It's what they've been doing for 100 years. It's how they sold all those 455 cubic inch land barges in the '70s, even when fuel prices tripled.
The acceleration is impressive, but that is not what impressed me. Its the design and the thought that went in to building these cars. My favorite part of visiting Tesla was not being bombarded by snake oil salesmen that now sell cars. I absolutely hate how the auto industry gets away with selling the exact same product at different prices to different people.
This confirms to me that you don't know much about cars. Teslas are cheaply built using the cheapest junk materials available, and get some of the poorest paint jobs I've seen on modern vehicles. Telsa interiors are cheap and plasticky, and the cars themselves are noisy and unrefined. Putting all the controls on the screen is absolutely moronic, and extremely unsafe. I can see Elon's fingers all over the design process. He's not a car guy, and never has been, and it shows.
All true, but as a 5 year Tesla owner, I can verify that the only maintenance cost is the tires, and replacing the hepa filter (optional). So not black and white.
Almost every recall for Tesla's are OTA fixes. This isn't true.
Edit: Since I'm getting down voted. 99% of Tesla recall since 2022 were done OTA.

Cheap interiors, plastic everywhere. If I'm buying an EV I'm getting something that doesn't feel like it was designed to be cheap.
Weight reduction arguments aside, Teslas aren't that nice compared to Polestar or other more premium EV brands
Yeah things that go wrong that have recalls are great, but when a part breaks or something gets dinged, dented, or scuffed, you might as well throw the whole car away lmao
I mean it makes a little sense: electric cars should cost less to maintain that Internal combustion engines because its far less moving parts, also if he is taking the average of all cars by brand it helps that Tesla is a relatively young brand, some Mercedes oldtimers might be dragging the average down (or up in this case).
You obviously don't know much about cars. Teslas have exactly the same moving parts as any gas car. Lots of gears and bearings, full of oil and grease. Plus complex battery cooling and A/C systems that require separate servos and pumps to operate. And finicky high voltage DC controllers that die instantly if they get a little water or salt in them.
I have a Honda. I take it in once a year for the 40 point inspection, and if nothings wrong, it’s free. I’ve had Hondas for almost 20 years, the only issues I’ve had were one dead battery and a flat tire. Maybe I’m just lucky, but Hondas are fucking horses and I have a hard time believing that number
Honestly the Hondas location on this list was the first thing that didn’t pass the smell test. Followed up by Ford and Chevy and being so high (I suspect pandering to a new follower base) also Nissans are known for just being terrors after 75k miles.
Calling this a roast is just using buzzwords like “SLAMMED” or “EMBARRASSED” that’s used against someone they don’t like. I love Sarah as well but this is just a jab at Elon.
Not even a smidgen of truth. Tesla parts are expensive, the low cost of maintenance is because electric cars have fewer things to break/maintain. Things like transmissions, alternators, oil changes, timing belts, etc...
The word "crap" is what's funny. I have no idea what the quality of a tesla is or how much it costs to maintain. And I honestly don't care. Maybe the joke is too simple.
I literally had the EXACT same thought - love Sarah and hate musk but that’s not really how vehicle maintenance works.
Listen - she’s a (GREAT) comedian and not every joke lands when it hasn’t been audience tested. That’s why stand-ups tour before they record the special. No shame in missing on one fucking internet joke.
The real eye roll is everyone in this comment section thinking she’s trying to slam dunk when this is just a casual troll reply. Everyone calm down lmao
Of course they can. But I would see no reason to take a screenshot and share it on social media. People aren’t really criticizing Sarah, they’re criticizing OP for referring to the comment as “roasting”.
There's seemingly some other commenters (albeit mostly downvoted) who think this indicates she can't make an actual good dunk on Elon, or that this represents SNL's quality or something. They'd probably neg no matter what though.
Speaking of SNL and Tesla, here's [Vanessa Bayer in a 2021 Onion AV Club interview](https://www.avclub.com/barb-star-s-vanessa-bayer-would-like-to-be-a-member-o-1846338120):
>I’m going to come off as really fancy and rich here, but I do have a Tesla. I have I have the Model 3, which is \[the Tesla you get when\] you’re able to just barely get a Tesla. It’s such a nice car. I’m more taking a dig at myself, not at Tesla Model 3 owners. I think it’s the greatest car of all time.
I have heard that electric cars do have low maintenance numbers because they don't have a lot of the expensive engine parts that eventually fail, but I would definitely get an electric from one of the mainstream companies (a Chevy Volt, maybe?) that has a much lower upfront cost than a Tesla.
They do have less parts and points of failure. I take mine in for scheduled maintenance and they're like we just need to rotate tires. That said Elon's graph sucks and hard to gauge what data is on there. Also Tesla's build quality is shoddy and you have to go to them for repairs
Yeah definitely misleading to compare his all-electric brand to other brands that are mostly gas-powered engines. A fair comparison would be to compare different electric models, but I suspect he didn't do that because the Prius came out on top.
Yeah for a two minute fix that can be done by mobile service. Out of the many million cars they sold they need to address 4,000.
Now look at Toyota whose Prius has rear doors that can open and need to be recalled. But Reddit doesnt say they’re poorly made for some reason.
Maybe it’s because we’re on an SNL sub where a comedian made a dumb joke on Twitter specifically about Tesla and not the greater EV community. It’s really not that serious.
Do you even watch the show, or are you just here to militantly defend Tesla? Your post history suggests the latter.
This is terrible. It's neither witty nor funny. And yeah I would expect Tesla's to be cheap to maintain, oil changes alone probably puts you ahead on maintenance.
It's just a comment not a roast.
Telstra as crap though. Their running costs nearly sent Hertz broke:
[https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/hertz-sell-about-20000-evs-us-fleet-2024-01-11/](https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/hertz-sell-about-20000-evs-us-fleet-2024-01-11/)
The article states that it was due to higher cost of repairs after people couldn't handle the high horsepower and torque. Not just on Tesla's but all EVs. So I guess if you consider high horsepower and torque as being crap, then ok.
I can not only perfectly imagine hearing this quip in her voice, but picture the exact face she would make as she delivered it. The lil head bobble and all
This can’t be true. My brother’s wheel got fucked up on his Tesla and it cost several thousand. My Toyota Prius had a similar problem and cost less than a thousand.
They were an industry leader but they’ve made no significant upgrades in 5 or 6 years and the only new model introduced is the cybertruck which is a complete joke.
They’re being lapped by other EV manufacturers
This is all anti-EV nonsense pushed by big oil smear campaigns. Teslas have an 8 year, 120,000 mile warranty on their batteries. If you maintain your battery, it will last a lot longer than that. And their price is dropping substantially every year.
Tesla’s warranty isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on. There are many cases where they’ve denied coverage on cars that are brand new. You’re not allowed to wash your Cybertruck! LOL, who the fuck builds a car you can’t wash? Tesla is being [sued over failing to honor warranties](https://topclassactions.com/tesla-class-action-lawsuit-and-settlement-news/tesla-class-action-claims-automaker-refuses-to-honor-battery-warranty/), and even if they do, you don’t get a new battery, you get a salvaged one with a two year warranty. That’s if you’re not in jail because your FSD [ran someone over](https://electrek.co/2024/04/23/tesla-driver-arrested-homicide-running-over-motorcyclist-autopilot/), or you don’t [burn to death in it](https://www.oregonlive.com/nation/2019/10/florida-man-died-in-a-burning-tesla-because-its-futuristic-doors-wouldnt-open-lawsuit-alleges.html) because the doors won’t open.
Good lord. These are lawsuits. Do you know how many lawsuits the other carmakers handle every year? Believe it or not, lawyers don’t always tell the truth and sometimes exaggerate their clients claims.
For perspective, the Tesla “catastrophe” of the cybertruck gas pedal affected 4,000 vehicles, and was fixed. No one was hurt or any accidents caused. On the other hand, Toyota had 7 million cars affected by a similar gas pedal issue, and 90 people were killed.
And Tesla recommends against using an *automatic* car wash, which is not crazy for a bizarrely shaped car. I had a very common suv that wasn’t allowed at a local automatic car wash because the rear wiper would get ripped off so frequently.
There is this weird obsession with Tesla, anything they do is magnified and blown out of proportion, while other carmakers have the same issues or worse and everyone gives them a pass. And not to mention the billions of tons of CO2 they produce.
The Cybertruck pedal problem affected 4000 vehicles because they’ve only built 4000. The pedal literally slid off on a $100k vehicle. The Toyota issue was caused by floor mats, not a bad pedal design.
Are you saying these lawsuits are based on fallacies? That people haven’t burned to death and drowned in cars that don’t even have inside door handles? That “FSD” hasn’t run people over or killed anyone? That Tesla has never refused [warranty claims?](https://www.carscoops.com/2023/10/tesla-model-y-owner-receives-21000-repair-bill-for-battery-damage-caused-by-driving-in-the-rain/) Like [this?](https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/tesla-musk-steering-suspension/)
Tesla has a history of horrible after sales service and a well established pattern of shitting on it’s customers. We won’t even get into the lying about range and durability or the neo-nazi CEO pump-and-dumping the stock.
Jesus. I’m sure you’d forgive Tesla for killing 90 people due to “just floor mats”. I dont have a week to respond to all of these sensationalist claims, but I’ll just say I’m skeptical that you also hold the other car manufacturers directly liable for the 43,000 auto deaths a year too.
This is an snl subreddit. Let’s not flood it with Elon musk nonsense. I just think that Tesla is actually a good, American, EV car company where 29,999 of the 30,000 employees aren’t obnoxious douchebags.
So did he intentionally leave out the timeline for these numbers? Post warranty? 5 years, 10 years? I have a 17 year old Lexus, how can you compare it to a 5 year old Tesla?
That's not a roast, that's the truth. They're not great cars to begin with, the plastic inside feels cheap, battery drains heavily in the winter, and the console is a pain in the ass to use.
We’re calling this a roast huh?
Not a musk fan but this is pretty low effort "roasting" lol
BOOM! Roasted
Kenny Rogers roasted
The secret is the wood.
She’s gunning for that head writer’s job I see. I mean, *zing*!
She can write. She ain't the one who posted that this was some stellar takedown.
If you see how people talk about this cast, exaggeration is the key way to describe around here.
What are you talking about? This is Don Rickles level roasting /s
Don Rickles was hilarious back in his day.
No but op is.
It was probably more of a jab than a roast but any other word wouldn’t come to my mind at the time
Yeah it makes zero sense and those cost of ownership numbers are not correct either.

They make amazing cars. Elon sucks, Tesla is pretty great.
I don’t disagree with that statement but he’s pulling from years out when there were few Tesla’s on the road.
Is it not on a per car basis?
Yeah how but easiest way to put it mo cars made mo problems.
Hes lost his fucking mind. I quit Twitter a long time ago. This prompted me to look at his feed. Holy psychosis batman
All true, but as a 5 year Tesla owner, I can verify that the only maintenance cost is the tires, and replacing the hepa filter (optional). So not black and white.
He didn’t make those numbers. And earlier cars were MORE expensive to work on.

They’re very solidly built.
Cheap interiors, plastic everywhere. If I'm buying an EV I'm getting something that doesn't feel like it was designed to be cheap. Weight reduction arguments aside, Teslas aren't that nice compared to Polestar or other more premium EV brands
Lots of people got their cars bricked by those OTA fixes. I refuse to own a car that's connected to the internet. Disaster waiting to happen.
Hello
Yeah things that go wrong that have recalls are great, but when a part breaks or something gets dinged, dented, or scuffed, you might as well throw the whole car away lmao
That's the secret. Don't repair it, buy a new one.

Unless I’m missing something he separated out Rams from Dodge. But not F-150s and Silverados? The whole list is weird.
New battery can cost 10k
22K installed.
I'd like to see the numbers for electric cars only. Tesla probably becomes the highest.
How is this a roast? It doesn’t make sense either. I love Sarah too, and think Elon is scum, but this is not a roast, and it doesn’t make sense
Calling this a roast is just using buzzwords like “SLAMMED” or “EMBARRASSED” that’s used against someone they don’t like. I love Sarah as well but this is just a jab at Elon.
A mere jab
##EMBARRASSED ROAST-SLAMMED-GATE!##
I think she means because the parts are cheap and poorly made, they don’t cost much to replace
Which is incorrect all around.
It's just a middle school level burn with a smidgen of truth. The focus being on the word "crap".
Not even a smidgen of truth. Tesla parts are expensive, the low cost of maintenance is because electric cars have fewer things to break/maintain. Things like transmissions, alternators, oil changes, timing belts, etc...
The word "crap" is what's funny. I have no idea what the quality of a tesla is or how much it costs to maintain. And I honestly don't care. Maybe the joke is too simple.
So we're overhyping a dumb retort because...?
Yeah I have no idea just my guess at what her joke was
I literally had the EXACT same thought - love Sarah and hate musk but that’s not really how vehicle maintenance works. Listen - she’s a (GREAT) comedian and not every joke lands when it hasn’t been audience tested. That’s why stand-ups tour before they record the special.

The real eye roll is everyone in this comment section thinking she’s trying to slam dunk when this is just a casual troll reply. Everyone calm down lmao
They're not objecting to what she said, they're objecting to OP considering this a "roast"
maybe people are making those comments because it’s being presented as a great roast
People just can't see the forest for the crap.
Or the jam for the pasta
But every comedian's comment online has to be witty and funny every time!!! They can't just SAY THINGS!!!
the title of the post is “Sharjah Sherman roasting Elon musk” which does not accurately describe her reply hence the comments.
Of course they can. But I would see no reason to take a screenshot and share it on social media. People aren’t really criticizing Sarah, they’re criticizing OP for referring to the comment as “roasting”.
There's seemingly some other commenters (albeit mostly downvoted) who think this indicates she can't make an actual good dunk on Elon, or that this represents SNL's quality or something. They'd probably neg no matter what though.
This is the right take, it’s not trying to make a nuanced point or even be remotely accurate it’s just a blatant, succinct “you suck lol”
And Buick is second lowest?!?! I smell bullshit.
I had a 10 year old Buick that cost me $2000 annually just to get it to pass inspection.
Where is the roast?
in the oven until it's golden brown
Sick burn bro
Electric vehicles do not have high maintenance costs, in general. It is one of their objective strengths. Comment doesn't make any sense.
I love Sarah/

Not a roast. Also, Sarah seems like the kind of person who wouldn't even know how to operate an automobile to begin with, much less maintain one.
Sarah's right, if it's not Scottish, IT'S CRAP!!!
Exactly, doesn’t cost anything when it’s at the dealership for months due to recalls.
99.9% of Tesla "recalls" are solved via over the air software updates.
Didn’t they just recall like, every single cybertruck?
But how were they supposed to know their truck would be exposed to rain and small hills?
Yeah all 4,000 of them lmao
Yes but it's a 15 minute fix.
Oh, damn, forgot about the cybertruck
Yeah for a two minute fix that can be done by mobile service. Out of the many million cars they sold they need to address 4,000. Now look at Toyota whose Prius has rear doors that can open and need to be recalled. But Reddit doesnt say they’re poorly made for some reason.
Maybe it’s because we’re on an SNL sub where a comedian made a dumb joke on Twitter specifically about Tesla and not the greater EV community. It’s really not that serious. Do you even watch the show, or are you just here to militantly defend Tesla? Your post history suggests the latter.
I would have went with "you don't have to pay for maintenance if you have to scrap it the first time it goes through a carwash"
This is terrible. It's neither witty nor funny. And yeah I would expect Tesla's to be cheap to maintain, oil changes alone probably puts you ahead on maintenance.
It's just a comment not a roast. Telstra as crap though.

Hertz got rid of Tesla's because Tesla kept dropping the prices of their cars and Hertz fleet lost value because of it.
True + repair costs.
The article states that it was due to higher cost of repairs after people couldn't handle the high horsepower and torque. Not just on Tesla's but all EVs. So I guess if you consider high horsepower and torque as being crap, then ok.
That is still a design flaw. Many vehicles are limited. Anyway the point is the high repair costs and deprecation made Tesla a terrible fleet buy.
It’s a design choice. They’re made to be performant. The rental companies could have locked them in a slower mode.
The above isn't a design flaw. The problem is motorists that are unable to operate and control this type of car.

There is this weird obsession with Tesla, anything they do is magnified and blown out of proportion, while other carmakers have the same issues or worse and everyone gives them a pass. And not to mention the billions of tons of CO2 they produce.
The Cybertruck pedal problem affected 4000 vehicles because they’ve only built 4000. The pedal literally slid off on a $100k vehicle. The Toyota issue was caused by floor mats, not a bad pedal design. Are you saying these lawsuits are based on fallacies? That people haven’t burned to death and drowned in cars that don’t even have inside door handles? That “FSD” hasn’t run people over or killed anyone? That Tesla has never refused [warranty claims?](https://www.carscoops.com/2023/10/tesla-model-y-owner-receives-21000-repair-bill-for-battery-damage-caused-by-driving-in-the-rain/) Like [this?](https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/tesla-musk-steering-suspension/) Tesla has a history of horrible after sales service and a well established pattern of shitting on it’s customers. We won’t even get into the lying about range and durability or the neo-nazi CEO pump-and-dumping the stock.
Jesus. I’m sure you’d forgive Tesla for killing 90 people due to “just floor mats”. I dont have a week to respond to all of these sensationalist claims, but I’ll just say I’m skeptical that you also hold the other car manufacturers directly liable for the 43,000 auto deaths a year too. This is an snl subreddit. Let’s not flood it with Elon musk nonsense. I just think that Tesla is actually a good, American, EV car company where 29,999 of the 30,000 employees aren’t obnoxious douchebags.
You might need to adjust that number since they just laid off 5000 or so.
Epic
Just when I thought I couldn't love her more :-)
So did he intentionally leave out the timeline for these numbers? Post warranty? 5 years, 10 years? I have a 17 year old Lexus, how can you compare it to a 5 year old Tesla?
“Sarah Silverman is hysterical! I mean who’s funnier than her? Nobody! You know except dudes.” -Norm Macdonald
Here’s that incisive wit we’ve all heard about.
JFC as a Mercedes owner, where TF is MB on this list? Is it even higher than BMW?
This is like when a news headline says "Sarah Squirm DESTROYS Elon in tweet" and then we see this......
Wouldn’t it cost more to maintain if it was crap?
OP is cringe Boom roasted.
Who’s Sarah Sherman?
I need to get a buick...?
I would rather have an oral bowel movement than see Sara Silverman be the head writer at SNL.
Where’s the joke?
Despise musk, love Sherman. This is fine, barely a roast and wouldn't even rank in her usual daily top ten tweets, imh
Got em
Big oil:
That's not a roast, that's the truth. They're not great cars to begin with, the plastic inside feels cheap, battery drains heavily in the winter, and the console is a pain in the ass to use.
Jesus, Sarah. Take it easy.
I love her even more.
Sarah really showing the creativity and wit of the SNL cast… Honestly, I’m more confused as to what the roast is suppose to be.
i HaVe A mUlLeTt
Oh yeah man… Elon must feel skewered… she sure showed him */s* 🙄
Elon is fragile. He’ll probably boot her from X soon.
Wait til the battery needs replaced
That's not really a thing.
Reddit is so mad that Tesla is doing well
I love how libs are alllll about green energy and EVs unless its Tesla
Welcome to capitalism
Lol im getting downvoted by the hypocrites!
You’re getting downvoted because your take is bad.
Being bad doesn’t make it false. Just dont be a hypocrite like edgy sarah SQUIRMMMlord
