Nate Diaz's longtime teammate Jake Shields recently blasted Tesla CEO Elon Musk for poor company service in a series of tweets.

Taking to his official Twitter handle, the MMA veteran fired shots at Tesla for not providing a spare tire, claiming he missed a flight as the car company failed to offer timely assistance.

Shields also revealed that he was charged an exorbitant amount for the tire and took a jibe at Elon Musk for being "cheap."

The former Strikeforce champion wrote:

"Hey @elonmusk why don’t Tesla’s come with a spar tire? Just missed a flight with because I’ve been waiting two hours and still no help. Any other car I could changed it in two mins. What if I get a flat were there’s no cell service"

And now they are charging me $100 over the cost of the tire plus labor costs

This is a scam and could also be extremely dangerous

And now they are telling me I might have to wait 3-4 more hours on the side of the freeway

There’s a reason every single car company adds a spar so fuck you Tesla

Michael Bisping shares his opinion on Nate Diaz's trash-talking abilities ahead of his fight at UFC 279

Nate Diaz is all set to face Khamzat Chimaev in a high-profile welterweight matchup in the main event of UFC 279. With an unbeaten record in his MMA career, Chimaev is a huge favorite heading into the fight.

This will be Diaz's last fight on his UFC contract, and the Stockton native will be looking to hand 'Borz' the first defeat of his professional career.

​

In a recent video uploaded to his YouTube channel, Michael Bisping appreciated the 37-year-old's trash-talking abilities, claiming that Diaz is "authentic" and "unfiltered."

Sharing his opinion on Nate Diaz, 'The Count' said:

"He's always had an attitude and that kind of 'street cool' to him. When he called out Conor McGregor and then accepted the fight in two weeks' notice and then choked out the biggest star in the sport, Nate Diaz arrived as an absolute megastar. And then he summed up the whole thing with one of the very best one-liners in UFC history."

Bisping further said:

"The fact that Nate doesn't give a sh*t about being a star is a huge part of why he has become one of the UFC's biggest stars of all time. He's authentic, he's unrehearsed, he's unfiltered. Nate is way more surgical with his insults than he is often given credit for."
