Joe Rogan surprised by \u201cunacceptable\u201d issue found in Tesla Model S Joe Rogan Experience YouTube \/ TeslaThe titular host of the Joe Rogan Experience (JRE) was confused after learning of a bizarre issue in the Tesla Model S spotted by ICON master craftsman Jonathan Ward. Ward, a former-actor-turned-car-manufacturer, is known for his custom creations that marry old-fashioned vehicle builds with the power and tech of the modern age. As such, Ward was able to spot an \u201cunacceptable\u201d design flaw in the backseat of the premium Tesla that surprised Rogan. When it comes to cars, Rogan is no slouch, but even he was astounded about the complaint since it\u2019s something that you really need to pay attention to in order to realize it. In the backseat of a Tesla Model S P100D, as Ward explained, the three-point shoulder seat belt retractor lets out a \u201ccold breeze\u201d while also letting through road noises that were prominent enough to detract from the car-riding experience. \u201cHave you ever sat in the backseat?\u201d Ward asked Rogan, probing to see if the host would have a context to the complaint. \u201cThe noise coming out of that third-point seat belt retractor is so unacceptable for modern car standards.\u201d Almost instantaneous to hearing the flaw, Rogan was baffled at the complaint. The podcast host admitted that he had actually never ridden in the backseat of his Model S, so it might have been a bit lost on him. (Timestamp at 1:00 for mobile viewers) \u201cThis s**ts coming up through the plastic wheel well and a noise and a cold breeze is hitting your outward ear,\u201d Ward explained. \u201cOkay, how did this s**t happen? There\u2019s a damn draft that comes up through there and you\u2019re hearing road noise through it.\u201d While it might sound like a menial complaint, the context of the flaw and who noticed it is important to note. Ward\u2019s catalog of production models for his ICON brand start at around $160,000, and only ramps up from there. The builder takes high-quality parts and puts them together with time and precision, resulting in a product that\u2019s made his family-owned business notable in the industry. Tesla, the benchmark for a premium electric vehicle manufacturer, mass produces its top-of-the-line Model S at a base of around $74,000. So there were bound to be some discrepancies with the vehicle, especially under the lens for someone like Ward. \u201cFor guys like us: yes, it\u2019ll annoy the piss out of you,\u201d Ward said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
