As gas prices hit unprecedented heights, many on the left began offering struggling Americans one simple solution — buy an electric car.
Since then, numerous stories and reports have revealed that such a solution is unrealistic for most U.S. citizens.
Electric cars can be exorbitantly expensive, are made with environmentally harmful materials and can be difficult to charge due to a lack of infrastructure.
As it turns out, the interiors of such cars also carry some serious problems.
Carlos Sancon, a popular TikToker whose videos have garnered 2.3 million likes on the social media platform, demonstrated as much in a series of videos.

In the video, Sancon can be seen pulling apart the paneling on the inside of what he claims to be a 2020 Tesla Model S Performance P100D.
Interior paneling on the door, upper speaker and middle console appear to be quite easy to pull apart.
Would you buy a Tesla?
“That’s not even the worst part,” Sancon said, before pulling out a pen.
Sancon is able to fit the pen in the panel gaps on one side of the trunk but not the other.
“Now, I’m sorry, but if I’m paying $120,000 for a car, I kind of want it to have better quality than this,” Sancon says at the end of the video.
In another video, Sancon picks apart the interior of a 2022 Tesla Model S Plaid.
@carlossancon Is the price tag for a Tesla Model S Plaid worth it? #tesla #EV #cartok #formula1 ♬ original sound – Carlos Sancon
The interior again appears to have some quality issues.
Yet again, Sancon is able to fit a pen in the panel gap on the side of the trunk.
A Model S Tesla sells for up to $126,000 according to the company’s website. A Model S Plaid sells for nearly $155,000, based on the video.
Despite the many issues associated with electric vehicles, the Biden administration appears hell-bent on encouraging Americans to purchase them.
On March 31, President Biden claimed that Americans would save $80 a month on gas per person if every citizen were to buy electric vehicles.
This would, theoretically, help Americans save a whole $960 a year.
What the president failed to share, however, is that the average cost of an electric vehicle was roughly $60,054 in February.
If one were to spend at least $60,000 on an electric car while saving $960 per year, it would take 62 years and six months to recoup the cost.
