after submitting a $122,135 order

The buyer told us that he paid a $250 order fee on Friday and previously paid a $100 reservation fee.

Tesla doesn't have to refund those types of fees if a buyer cancels

You have to pay $350 to get the privilege to fork over a hundred and twenty grand? My jaw literally dropped.

Tesla culture* Normal car enthusiasts aren't like this

[-] Azal@pawb.social 3 points 11 months ago

Honestly Tesla culture reminds me of any brand of car fanboyism. The ones I got most familiar with was the supposed "hot rodders" that viewed a junked out piece of rust that's sat in a field 20 years worth thousands of dollars to spend thousands of dollars to not drive it. Got sick of it as someone who's first car was a 70s one and attempting to find parts and pieces was people telling a high schooler to just take it to a shop and spend more than I've spent on my current modern car+motorcycle because none of them actually bothered working on their shit before.

Now I said that, there's also the motorcycle culture, and we're weird as fuck.
