Is/n't Tesla literally/figuratively crashing?

[Spicyryan]

I just don't give a single fuck about how they feel.

Why not?

That is not the hyperloop. It looks stupid and deserves ridicule but to call it the hyperloop is really misleading.

Edit: The hyperloop was a vacuum sealed maglev concept to propel pods through a tunnel at extremely high speeds.

Yeah, this is correct. Hyperloop concept was basically Pods travelling at near sonic speeds in a vacuum. Major drawback was to create a vacuum in such a large distance.

Also why it was estimated to be cheaper in Mars since air density is super low and they only needed tracks.

I mean, I can understand them. I get annoyed if I purchase a game and it's on sale (or free on Epic/PS store) shortly after. A car would be much, much worse.

I wouldn't storm the store, but I'd be damned if I didn't try and get the difference refunded.

This happens a lot with Tesla. I’ve even told some friends who were thinking about buying to wait until end of year because they usually slash prices to meet their delivery numbers. The last time people were this upset was when the Performance Model 3 had an upgrade option for $5000 that included bigger brakes, rotors, lowered suspension and a spoiler. Towards the end of 2018 they dropped the price $5000 and made those upgrades standard. People that bought the upgrade were pretty pissed to the point that Tesla had to make it right by either offering Supercharging for life or a $5,000 refund.

I've been burned by sudden sales, myself, and it's always felt bad when they refused to honor the difference. Which just translates to me never doing business with them again.

Maybe it's just my commie ass talking, but kinda feel like some kind of regulation relative to costs and time lapsed for refunds or compensations should be mandated when sales start. Missing out on $100 when I bought my art tablet was one thing. Folks losing thousands on a vehicle is another.

I know best buy canada has a price guarantee thing, although it falls in line with refund policy. If price drops within 30 days, you can get the difference back. But I mean, you have a 30 days to refund the item as well. So even if there was no price guarantee, just return the product then rebuy at the new sale price.

Why not?

consoomers only exist to consoom, to ascribe feelings to them destroys the balance

[Andalusian girls]

sounds like my ex wife

[TummieGaruda]

Well speaking of price drops all vehicles had their prices lowered. Model X plaid which was 138k is now down to 119k. The performance model 3 is now 53k which puts it under the MSRP limit to get the new tax credit.

[archibaldcrane]

Model 3 starting at $36,490 after tax credit is suddenly a quite good deal again. One of the cheaper EVs out there now.

[archibaldcrane]

Although I do see that on cars.com the cheapest Chevy Bolts are now under 20k now that they have their tax credits restored. Not bad for a new, 259 mi range EV.

I think some people might wait until 2024 because if I recall, next year you can use the credits towards the purchase of the car instead of waiting until the next calendar year to get a tax rebate.

Tesla recalling 362k+ vehicles that are equipped with Full Self Drive because its software may be unsafe around intersections and unsafe in general.

The recall will be dealt with via OTA software updates.

Elon announced in a joint press conference with Newsome that he's moving tesla back to California lol

Must have gotten a new tax incentive or something. He would absolutely never do it without an external motive. Worry not, people will hail him as a force of benevolence over it.

They need to change the name for recalls that can be dealt with OTA updates as they are not being called back to the shops for a fix.

China is raking Tesla over the coals at the same time they're stealing their tech. No surprise he's inclined to open up shop back home.

The "Tesla HQ" was already "home" (in Texas), but it seems likely that whatever Texas tax break they received for moving is probably tapped out so he's bringing the HQ back to where the highest concentration of software engineer talent in the world is.
