man i had no idea there were infinite free cars waiting to be stolen just an hour away from me

You could probably make a nice pile of loot by hopping the fence and stripping vital parts out of the all deadlined ones. With depleted batteries from sitting for months on end, it probably wouldn’t even trip the anti theft alarms.

The photo is of a Tesla boneyard previously was filled to the top but Tesla has started to move them to other sites.

Probably sitting so long due to the inability to get actual orders and also a big backlog of quality problems which need to be fixed.

Basically like those ebay scams in which you pay for something that doesn't show up.

At least with the above scam you can get a refund.

Buying puts on Tesla might do that, but the stock might also go up if he gets arrested

I can't entirely blame people like that guy; I mean, it's not their fault that they just assumed this auto manufacturer who had received a bunch of positive press would actually behave like a normal company and deliver the product they paid for.

expecting to be able to sell your car a single day before you pick the new one up seems completely reasonable to me I don't think people are posting it to make fun of that guy

I can't find the video now but there was a fairly important part of the Tesla suspension that was made out of the cheapest cast aluminium which had the internal consistency of polystyrene.

Somewhat unrelated but the way Telltale Games suddenly crashed is how I see Tesla going. They'll still hire people week of the bust knowing full well what's coming just to squeak out the grift a few days longer.

The games and the game engine pretty much such.

looks to me like he's a fan of the Major League Soccer team Atlanta United FC

mls is a garbage league

e: from wikipedia

quote:

On June 30, 2018, fans set another record with 71,932 in attendance, more than any other soccer game happening that day in the world, including the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.[60]

On July 15, 2018, the team again set the league single-match attendance record with 72,243 in attendance.[61] As of that date, Atlanta United now holds the top 5 single-game attendance records in MLS.

google tells me the june 30 games were france/argentina and uruguay/portugal
