Sometimes, life gives you two options - to spend a lot of money or watch something burn in an explosion. Okay, maybe not but Finnish man Tuomas Katainen sure had this choice.?
Katainen had a 2013 Tesla Model S and was told that he would have to pay more than $22,600 to replace the battery on his car. However, the Tesla owner decided that it was not worth it to spend so much money on replacing the battery so he decided to collaborate with a YouTuber to blow up his model S with 66 pounds (30 kilograms) of dynamite instead.
According to Katainen, his model S worked brilliantly for the first 932 miles (1,500 kilometres) after he bought it. However, after a while, the error codes started to appear. He took the car to a Tesla dealer's repair shop where it remained for about a month. He was informed that they could not do anything for his car because his only option is to replace the entire battery. The battery would have costed him more than $22,600 and he would have to ask Tesla permission to do the repair.?
So, instead of blowing up so much money, he decided to blow up the car. Literally.?
¡°So I told them I¡¯m coming to pick up the Tesla,¡± he said in the video. ¡°Now I¡¯m going to explode the whole car away.¡±
With the help of YouTuber Pommij?tk?t, which roughly translates to ¡°Bomb Dudes,¡± according to Google Translate, Katainen blew up the car in a quarry at Jaala, a small rural town in Southern Finland.?
