I was going to post this in the other tesla subs but I figure it will just get removed

You just have to add "still love the car" lenin-dont-laugh

Not enough to save once they posted in the realtesla sub. Telsa mods ban anyone who posts are comments in non Elon love subs

"I can't work for my clients unless I have my Tesla. No, I can't Uber or rent a car."

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 27 points 6 months ago

Renting a car is a bitch and the busyness is inconsistent. But I can’t imagine the car being critical unless he’s Jerry Seinfeld driving around clients and talking to them for work lol

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 14 points 6 months ago

I mean, he's acting like the car is absolutely critical to his business (whatever the that is - live streaming one man one jar videos on Tesla self-driving?).

You'd think he'd just rent the car anyway to avert the risk of not getting the car back in a timely manner (or have some kind of backup plan for something you think is essential for running your business), but clearly I'm not a super genius entrepreneur or whatever shrug-outta-hecks

Explains the complete lack of risk mitigation skills lol

Oof. He can try to go after them for loss of use, but even at four figures I’m not sure it’s worth it.

[-] supafuzz@hexbear.net 38 points 6 months ago

it's small claims at that figure, and tesla probably won't even send anyone to oppose it

[-] henfredemars@infosec.pub 25 points 6 months ago

Didn’t they just fire a bunch of people too?

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 20 points 6 months ago

I think they were all in the only profitable business line - charger technology

They can't because they're double the retail price because of tarrifs

But what if the ebil SEE SEE PEE knows my location?! Occasionally getting my car stolen by the patriotic American manufacturer is just the price for freedom.

[-] Sephitard9001@hexbear.net 20 points 6 months ago

Jesus christ. Owning a regular car is already a massive pain the fucking dick. Imagine you shell out more money for a car that is mechanically worse than a normal car, aesthetically worse than a normal car, and the teams responsible for servicing and supporting your car are also worse than normal car mechanics and lenders. Why do these people seek misery

He forgot to add that he still love the car, so the charges of heresy and blasphemy will be added to the verdict

M'lord has ordered my execution by beheading for the crime of not endorsing his wagon!

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 15 points 6 months ago

I’m just following orders
