‘Elon Musk’ in massive blow-up: Angry Tesla owner dynamites car [watch]
A disgruntled Tesla owner decided to release his frustrations by blowing up his car with an Elon Musk doll in the driver’s seat.
Tesla customers have been expressing their displeasure in their purchases in various ways, but this is definitely a first. A man from Finland chose to “resolve” his altercation with the car company by using 30kg of dynamite to blow up his Tesla…with an Elon Musk doll in the driver’s seat.
Tuomas Katainen purchased a 2013 model S Tesla and to say that he was unhappy with his buy, is putting it mildly. Frustrations heard…loud and clear!

INSULT AND BATTERY: TUOMAS KATAINEN VS TESLA
Katainen enjoyed his car for a while…until it started giving him endless issues that led to him exploding… literally!
The disgruntled customer claims he started to see error codes that just did not go away. It was then towed to his nearest dealership to get repaired… And then, just a month later, he was informed that the battery would need to be replaced at a cost of at least €20 000 (R350 000), reported IOL.
Katainen did not see the point in spending that much money on just a battery… so he decided it was time for the car to go.
KABOOM! THE GRAND FINALE
This was the breaking point for him. The car was as good as ashes, and so he contacted the popular YouTube channel Pommijätkät to set up the big finale!
Tuomas and Pommijätkät made arrangements to blow up the vehicle in a controlled setting at a quarry with an explosives expert on hand.
Using 30kg of explosives…Katainen and some volunteers blew the car to smithereens along with an Elon Musk doll placed in the driver’s seat. A wicked but cool touch!

The clip has over 1.6 million views! People do not only love to see things being blown up, they also love all things Elon Musk… even if it is a mini version of himself being obliterated! The clip is in Finnish, but there are English subtitles.
