Seems like a lie. Bedbugs live in your walls and they come out at night. An old trick for getting rid of bedbug, fleas, scabies, and other parasites it’s to bag the affected material and leave it in your car for a few days. The high/low temps kills stuff pretty well.

If it was an Uber, the chances are that they picked up a person who had a bedbug or flea infestation, not that the car is permanently infested with the parasite. Also, you can bag and fume a car pretty cheaply. The idea that you would set fire to almost half a mil of inventory to get rid of a problem that can be solved with a single call to an exterminator seems ridiculous.

Well, the government organization that allowed consumers to complain, get the money back along with a settlement, and have the product recalled, was recently “fed into a wood chipper” by the guy who makes the cybertrucks.

Regulatory capture. For the most part, Automakers can determine if their vehicle is safe, as long as they have certain hardware requirements (Like airbags, backup cameras, and a roof that can support the weight of the vehicle.) Heck, I remember some Tesla engineer saying that the mirrors are only on the truck because they couldn’t get the legislation mandating them removed in time to replace them with cameras.

…And the owners manual is probably digital and accessed via the infotainment system. (Shout-out to the fuckers at Ford who did this.)

Now is the time to shut it down. Republicans are hugely unpopular right now.
