On Monday, the owner of a Tesla Model Y posted a video on Twitter in which his vehicle can be seen without a roof, as if it were a convertible.
The problem is that this model is not planned in this way, the roof simply came off while the man was driving on the highway, reports

Nathaniel Galicia Chien had just traveled with his parents to Dublin, a city not far from San Francisco (United States) to pick up his new car: a Tesla Model Y. At the dealership, he had noticed problems finish on the glass roof of the vehicle but neither he nor his parents who accompanied him were unduly worried.
Hey @elonmusk why didn't you tell us that Tesla sells convertibles now?

However, when they were on the way home, they first heard air entering the car "as if a window was open", explains the owner.
Very soon after hearing this, they saw the roof of the vehicle come down on the highway, as seen in the video posted on Twitter.
Fortunately, no injuries were to be deplored during this incident.
Nathaniel Galicia Chien immediately alerted the police to report the debris on the roadway.
Eventually, the family returned to Dublin to return the car, preferring to switch to another make for their future car.
