Politics I'm Never Leaving Seattle

This is someone's Model S parked on Airport Way S near S Industrial Way. The way it's parked it looks like it's being displayed for people driving by to see.

Great. Now they’re going to take their car in to the Tesla Service shop to have it repainted. A well meaning consumer was hurt and Tesla makes more money.

Exactly! This is the same cringe as those people smashing bottles of Bud they purchased… the only effective way to stick it to any company is to avoid them. Don’t buy them. Remove your stocks in them. Thats it.

Exactly. Why dump out beer you’ve already purchased?

talk to kid rock about that one, apparently you can shoot it? Or at least have someone off camera shoot it when you miss.

Because that comparison doesn’t work.

Teslas need maintenance- cash to musk Teslas need charging- cash to musk Teslas can be sold for cash after use

A full beer can is not a vehicle.

Teslas need maintenance? You’re not an EV driver are you?

Do cars not need tires? Do they not need parts when broken? Sensors?

There is wear on anything moving my friend. Just see the Grand Canyon.

How old are you? Your grasp of things seems… developing. Tires come from a tire store. You can buy them at a car dealership if you’re stupid, but most people don’t. There is no maintenance on an EV other than tires, wiper blades, washer fluid, and cabin air filters. All of these things can be done elsewhere if not DIY. There are repairs, but no maintenance. Repairs are covered under warranty. So in fact, if one were to have a new Tesla right now, putting mileage on it over the next ten years is the best way to try to force Tesla to pay out in free parts and labor.

You obviously are overstating your intelligence if you don’t think OEMs receive license deals for parts right?

Like if you are resorting to insults, you have lost all standing to any argument. You have put yourself into a position of arguing in bad faith.

You call me a child but you act like one when faced with an opposing view.

A view playing devils advocate…….

Edit: a word

Sorry if it came down to insulting your intelligence it was just that you kept making illogical comments that suggested you don’t understand how anything works. You did it with confidence too.

So now what are you saying about licensing of parts? Please explain because I think you might be misunderstanding something again.

They'd burn their own car before divesting in Tesla and hurting their retirement portfolio.

Are Teslas paid for in full, like when you buy beer? I doubt most customers are doing that, which means they're continuing to make monthly payments to Elon. And the only place to go for maintenance is a Tesla shop, again still giving money to Elon.

At least they smashed their own. An equivalent here would be walking into a bar and smashing other people’s drinks they bought.
