Teslas are popular cars among celebrities, with the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio, Will Smith, and Shakira all owning one or more of the electric vehicles. However, one example of Hollywood royalty that got on board early wasn’t too pleased with his Musk-mobile’s performance. A-lister George Clooney cited how often his Tesla would break down and described his frustration with the now-discontinued Roadster he had.
Clooney said: “I had a Tesla, I was one of the first cats with a Tesla. I think I was, like, number five on the list. But I’m telling you, I’ve been on the side of the road a while in that thing, and I said to them, ‘Look, guys, why am I always stuck on the side of the f****** road? Make it work, one way or another.'” (via Reuters).
The “From Dusk Till Dawn” actor eventually sold the troublesome Tesla for just under $100,000 in 2012. According to reports at the time, the money from the sale went to charity. There’s also a good chance the experience put Clooney off EVs for life, as he doesn’t seem to have acquired a new one in the ten years since he auctioned off his Tesla Roadster. Despite being frustrated by both his Tesla’s issues and the company’s inability to help with them, Glenn Howerton hasn’t sold his Tesla and is still driving it. Though at the time of writing he has yet to get the key fob repaired and says he is currently relying on both the mobile app and parking spots with available Wi-Fi.
