Weird, used to just work with pasting the twitter link and it would show up, but since the photo issue, twitter does not show. At least the pic or screen grabs does. Weird that bumpers are coming off in heavy rain. What are they zip tied together and the water gathering in the bumper causes it to rip off?

The glue that holds it on doesn't hold up to heavy rain? 

LOL they're not glued on there, Pookie.

Velcro or double-sided tape, then? 

I am wondering if they are using those plastic push pins to hold it on and water builds up under the bumper and the weight causes it to drop off.

Either way, this shows just how cheap they have gotten in their poor quality of bumpers.

Tesla has some great tech and superior built electronics, but their assembly is anything but quality and right now I say they are where KIA / Hyundai are when they first started in the auto industry. Crap
