Elon Musk may have a rat problem.

Fans of the South African billionaire’s electric cars say rats, mice and rodents are chomping down on their Teslas. And despite having dropped tens of thousands of dollars to buy the pricey vehicles, Tesla refuses to cover the damage.

Sarah Williams, a 41-year-old physician who lives in Manhattan and uses her Tesla to commute to work in the Bronx, told The Post of an alarming incident when she took her 2018 Model 3 into Tesla’s Paramus, NJ, dealership in mid-May after her air conditioner had stopped working.

“They opened the glove compartment and a rodent fell out,” she said. “It’s crazy.”

Soy-based wire insulation.  In other words, a mobile smorgasbord for vermin.

Another stupid enviro-whacko initiative with unintended consequences. 

Get used to it.  This is what we will be dealing with in all aspects in our lives for the foreseeable future.
