I’m so sure that this will happen…
Right… My favorite “promise” so far was the Tesla SpaceX edition (with rocket boosters or microjets or some shit, IDK doesn’t make sense) and die-hard fans defending this PR stunt as “the car that might fly”.
lol right. tesla cars can’t even tell the difference between a painting on a wall and the actual road.
Earnings call is today
Ah so more market manipulation… got it. Jesus I hate this douchebag.
It’s irrelevant because I’m never buying anything that piece of shit touches.
‘this year’
Sure, Elon. Lets get you back to bed.
lol they can’t even drive from the factory to the parking lot in their fremont facility.
Next thing they’ll “say it will do your taxes and walk your dog”. Seriously this company is so unserious.
Aka they save on delivery costs and your new car racks up miles on your own dime before you even get to drive it.
Imagine it gets into an accident lol.
Who gets charged?
If you thought insurance was expensive before…
“we planned for this edge case, and have programmed the vehicle to quickly leave the scene of any accident where a driver is not present. by accepting delivery (by purchasing a vehicle) you accept that all vehicles are sold as-is. tesla insurance customers get half-off repair claim deductibles for the first 7 days.”
Tesla “FSD” switches off seconds before an accident, so this will be interesting.
Surely it would be Tesla since you don’t actually have possession of it, right? Right??
Yeah, no.
That would be true if any of this self driving shit actually existed, but it doesn’t. Elmo lies. A lot. About everything. So this? He’s just lying again .
It does, and I’ve heard its safer than humans in some cases, but there’s legal issues in the way. Like if a driverless car kills someone, who’s fault is it?
Where do you get any of that?
No, Elmo cara do not drive themselves. On the 5 steps to full self driving, Teslas barely make it to step 2. Full self driving doesn’t exist yet for any brand but most definitely not for Tesla
It’s not happening.
If it waives the destination fee, then I don’t see it as a bad problem depending on how much it would normally cost to deliver vs how many miles.
Dealers: charge bullshit fee
Mftr: “get rid of this bullshit fee by racking up miles right from the factory”
Customer: “this is such a phenomenal deal!”
bullshit fee
Do you think shipping and transportation of goods is free? Do you think truck drivers drive stuff around out of the goodness of their hearts?
Nope, but it also isn’t my problem. Roll it into the price of the car, like everything else, and it can be part of the price that you can discuss and haggle over. Coming to a 50k price just to see another 1k+ this and 1.5k that tacked on is absolute bullshit.
Except that not every place is next to the car factory. Delivery to Portland, Maine is going to be a much different price in comparison to Austin, Texas. Do you also expect the cost of titling and taxes be included in the advertised price? Do you know that those vary from location to location as well?
Do you also expect the cost of titling and taxes be included in the advertised price?
As a European, yes. Absolutely fucking yes. I drove a Model 3 away (a while ago obviously) with all papers in order paying exactly the listed price.
In the USA taxes and titling cost different amounts depending on where you live. It’s easier to calculate once you buy, especially if you are buying in another state than the one you reside in which is a big problem in my state where dealers don’t stock EVs. I had to go to the nearest large city which is in another state from where I reside to get my Bolt EUV.
You can calculate before you buy and each state usually has at least a chart to ballpark what you’ll pay. The easiest way to calculate these taxes would be to not levy them against people to begin with.
When did I say that every place was near an assembly line…? I said ‘not my problem’. It’s a company, they can figure it out.
And yes, yes I do. Again, not my problem. It’s almost like different locations can set different prices or something to compensate for variables. Amazing, what a concept!
Advertising cars would never be feasible on nationally broadcast TV under your system.
They did figure out the problem though. Price set by the manufacture, show cost for delivery on the window sticker, then when you buy they car the title and tax are figured out for where you live. It’s the fairest and easiest way of showing and figuring the price. If you can’t figure out that window stickers are available online and the tax and title yourself before you buy, that’s a you problem. It’s not on the seller nor the manufacturer to post pricing for every state or municipality.
If you want cleaner pricing, demand an end to titling and car taxes.
Eh, I live <1k miles from a Tesla factory, and I wouldn’t be too annoyed at having 1k miles on it when it gets to me. Knock the price down a bit since you no longer need to ship it everywhere and we’re good.
We all know this isn’t happening anytime soon, so I guess it’s only a hypothetical. We can talk once it’s a reality.
I’d want whatever the warranty was to be the same plus the miles.
So if it’s 5 year 50k miles and I get it at 1k, I 'd want 5 year 51k miles.
I suppose that’s fair. But you’re unlikely to see much difference with 1k miles.
It doesnt waive that fee because it is a federally required fee to be applied to all vehicles regardless of their… destination. Uhg.
I don’t want to be caught dead driving one of those fucking nazimobiles. I would not take one even if it were free.
LOL my Tesla? Nonono. The possibility of me ordering a Tesla would require so much leadership refactoring at Tesla, I’m confident this is no longer a possibility.
To put it more sussinctly:
Fuck off with this bullshit ad headline. I wouldn’t touch these swasticars if they jerked me off nightly
But who’s gonna fix your wall?
It does beg the question who pays the insurance until your get it the first time. I suspect you do though.
Not only that, who will provide the cover.
I ain’t buying that piece of shit if it offers blowjobs.
Yet another lie.
The shareholders should sue.
Tesla lost 6% of its value today so I’m sure Elmo felt compelled to find something to pull out of his ass.

[NARRATOR]: It didn’t.
Why is the narrator always Ron Howard in my head?
Because these comments or their sentiment are usually in the style of Arrested Development
It’s Morgan Freeman for me.
