FrozenVent posted:why the gently caress are they keeping the replaced parts? I kept the pistons off my old car when I had them replaced. the precision of the metal, the shiny friction surfaces contrasting with the scoured combustion surfaces and the burnt oil of the underside, the faint smell of grease even after repeated cleanings, the sheer heft, all make it an awesome desktop item. why anyone would want anything from a tesla is unclear to me. however, the shop is clearly being dicks. they can put the parts in the trunk of the car. if they’re too big, toss them in the back of the shop somewhere and let the customer have them.

For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is divorced, which went out early in the morning to sell cars into his fanbase. And when he had agreed with the customers for $65,990, he sent them into his Tesla dealership. And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace, And said unto them; Go ye also into the Tesla dealership, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way. Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise. And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle? They say unto him, Because your car sucks poo poo. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the Tesla dealership; and ye shall receive the Model Y for $52,990. So when even was come, the lord of the Teslas saith unto his steward, Call the drivers, and give them their car, beginning from the last unto the first. And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a Tesla. But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received a discount; and they likewise received every man a Tesla. And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house, Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast granted them a more favorable price than us, which have borne the burden and heat of being Tesla fans. But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for $65,990? Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee. Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good? So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.

He said he’ll likely have to cut the price again to $30,000.

If you sell the car back to Tesla, they will remove FSD from it and charge the next buyer again to enable the feature.

i saw like seven teslas in a 4 block radius down one of the gentrified streets when i went out for a drive. they are all extremely ugly (the S is by far the worst tho) and every single one was filthy. two had body damage.

The auto market is absolutely one that is full of people willing to change their minds (ignore the Chevy vs. Ford drama that isn't significant) The issue is Tesla doesn't have a new product on the roadmap to convince people to rethink Tesla. The cybertruck certainly ain't it. Tesla hasn't ever had a significant redesign of one of their existing cars, and the only new model they've had in the past 5 years is a poorly reviewed SUV-ified version of their compact sedan.
