I used to drive this ancient Toyota that had a "bad oil leak". I was broke and sourcing which gasket would have made me have to live out of the car, so I just kept an eye on its levels and added back oil frequently until I got into a better situation. not proud of it, because leaking engine oil is bad for the environment.

my bad oil leak was probably something like a quart every 3-4 months of daily operation.

this isn't an oil leak. this is just dumping oil in the ground.

I hope this guy gets charged for enviromental crimes but also very fucking carbrained to go "welp, nothing to be done about this" and then just fucking dump a gallon of oil on the ground a day

the article isn't specific, but knowing tesla the problem is that they just forgot a gasket and it literally is just an open seam in the motor or the transfer case.

Same, but coolant instead of oil
