Searching on Google “how to sell my tesla” or “how to sell my tesla stock” hurts their shares. Scheduling a test drive and not showing up wastes their time and resources :)

[–] DogEarBookmark@reddthat.com 7 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Well if I'm gonna schedule a test drive i may as well test the hell out of it, no?

Read those waivers and see how much you can get away with 😈 “oops, I lost control and scratched the shit out of the side”

I like the cut of your jib!

Best politicians money can buy!

Trump is for sale.

That's so fucking gross

Such a historical site defaced for such a purpose.

I hope someone's dog shits on the white house lawn and doesn't clean it up

Just because we want electronic cars, doesn't means we'll take Tesla's.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 26 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I don't want electric cars. I want electric trains.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 4 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Okay, but lots of people do. Why not both? I'm sure you realize that progress is incremental, we're not going to jump from here straight to a utopia.

Also, many people don't have a choice. My job has to be done in-person most of the time, it can't be done by robots or AI (yet), and I have to bring a large amount of equipment with me. But I would love my work vehicle to be a government-subsidized zero-emissions one!

This the same dipshit who wants to halt federal EV buildout, EV Programs, and federal building charging stations. I doubt any of you needed reminding, but JFC, it pains me that some dummy is gonna buy an EV only AFTER he sat in one for political theater.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 7 points 17 hours ago

Well, yeah. It's the same boomer move: pull the ladder up behind you. Musk and Tesla already benefitted from the programs he now wants to cut, to raise the barrier of entry for potential competitors...

[–] Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 15 hours ago

Sawsticars aren't profitable without the carbon taxes credits. Notice no one has suggested getting rid of those.

Those public chargers are competion with Musk's Tesla chargers. The only profitiable part of Tesla.

"Daaaad, the other kids are being mean to me!"

Surely associating the vehicles even more closely with the primary reason the stock is falling off of a fucking cliff will prevent the stocks from falling off of a cliff.

[–] Tempus_Fugit@midwest.social 9 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

😂 what a waste. I doubt this even moves the needle on public perception. Rednecks aren't buying these things only well off urban Republicans. I can't think many leftists give a shit about these things. They may be fast, but they have no class.

[–] Zier@fedia.io 1 points 10 hours ago

Partially true. It moves the perception against Tesla, xelon & president felon. Sales will drop further.

[–] Zomg@lemmy.world 5 points 17 hours ago

especially considering how restricted by range and chargers people are subject to in more rural areas.

Is the driver's seat waterproof?

[–] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 7 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

If you wear the included depends
