But when it finally arrives the early reservation holders will make money from posting content about the vehicle or on markup when they resell if they aren’t 100% happy.

I’m with you.

I’m firmly in the “No tip until delivery” bandwagon. Too often have I had my outright delivered to the wrong apartment because drivers seem to have some difficulty reading building+unit numbers, food being missing, and deliveries not arriving. Sure, I can go through the process of getting a refund, but…

I see people in my neighborhood getting McDonalds delivered, and all I can think is “why are you like this?”.

That’s all fine and good if you know what exactly you’re ordering. The problem here is, 4.5 years after it was unveiled there still isn’t an official spec sheet!

First world problem.  How about we all go back to picking up our own shit and not pawn it off to someone else? 

This is why I prefer the Postmates set up. I honestly don’t like being asked for a tip before I get my order. Case in point: one night, I decided to order ice cream for my son and I through Doordash. Tipped the driver about $12. I watched while the driver proceeded to do two other orders before I got my order. Ice…

I’ve used a third party delivery service twice, both when I was given some sort of promo code to try them out and then never used one since (been about 3 years and counting now). First time, after the delivery guy handed me my food he assumed some performative prayer/begging pose (wish I was making this up) and…

yup, and even when you tip, by the time you order, wait, wait some more, you could be there and back enjoying your food while it’s still warm.

Pass on other people bringing my food to me and “modfiying” it along the way because they are having a bad day

All of the onus is on the delivery services charging a “delivery fee” and calling this a “tip”. If you’re gonna play the card of the drivers being independent contractors, then just be clear with the consumer - it’s a “DoorDash admin fee” and the tip is actually “delivery pickup incentive”. Greater the incentive,…

If instead of giving Tesla a $50k interest free loan, you could invest that into Tesla stock and by the time your Roadster is delivered, you’ll likely have made back the total cost of the car...

I got my Roadster from both Matchbox and Hot Wheels. Of course, the Matchbox version is much better than the Hot Wheels version, because it is.

It’s regular + vaporware

Fancy Tesla, with cheese and shit.

Much like insane dealership markups, it works because there’s a certain number of people (and that number is in the tens or hundreds of thousands) who will willingly fork over such money. There are people for whom $45,000 is pocket change, and they will regard it as if it’s $450.

Probably not, but I don’t really know of anyone who refers to a tractor as such.

More like Kickstarter than GoFundMe. 

It’s not like GoFundMe at all. It’s more like GoFundYourself.
