The people that bought it with the intention of flipping it for more and then failing spectacularly in such a short time is what lead me to my conclusion. Those people deserved that.

They certainly did. I think longer term though.

I wonder if the angular shape messes with radar.

I Had My Tesla Cybertruck on Cruise at 82 MPH and A GA State Patrol Gave Me a Ticket For Going 89 MPH, Says Anything Over 85 Is a ‘Super-Speeder’ Fine
Did a Georgia State Patrol target a Tesla Cybertruck? Brantley's Cybertruck was on cruise control, but the officer said he was going faster than the CT said. He now has a super-speeder fine and risks losing his license. Here is his unbelievable story.

Not sure what the CT has to do with this. Passing a cop while exceeding the limit is asinine. Cop gave this guy an IQ test and he failed. The extra 200 bucks is a stupidity penalty.

I was thinking it was going to be about what the speedometers are calibrated to. I know many are set purposely to read higher than actual so you don't get a ticket and claim it was telling you it was fine. Then I thought maybe it had to do with the shape messing with the radar.
I heard a story/tall tale about someone painting their car with some flat gray aircraft paint (RAM?) that was thrown out and how they never got a speeding ticket

Dont buy the RAM thing. But I can say for sure that BMW speedos are set high. The German govt and now the EU actually penalize the companies if the speeedo reads low so they bake in a generous leeway. I've test four different ones against GPS, in one case two different GPS units at once and there's always an error. The 2008 motorcycle was always 3-5mph higher than actual between 65-85. The 2010 and 2020 convertibles (sons and wifes cars) both have about the same. My new 2023 motorcycle is always 5mph high between 60-85....
But that high on purpose to covers BMWs ass. I fail to believe that Tesla sets a speedo that wrong on the low side. Don't think I've ever heard of that from any maker.
