“Why would the best, most effective value proposition to distribute vehicles to customers not be your first choice?” Devlin asked Auto News. “And why would you reject an existing distribution and sales system that already exists?”

Not so much if Scout monopolizes the parts distribution supply chain.

Dealerships make more money from service than from sales. The sales side is always the one that poisons the relationship with customers. Why are dealerships so eager to keep that part of the business that they do so poorly? Just let the corporate side do sales and be the friendly authorized service shop that people…

Not to cape for the dealers, but good luck with that.

Fuck the dealers. But will they get so pissy that they refuse to service them? 

I thought most of the articles I read about dealerships and electric vehicles was that they hated selling them, to the point they were sabotaging their own electric car sales. Now they’re mad that they’re being cut out of the process they cratered.  

If dealers want to not be cut out, they should consider not being utter shit.

Sure, let’s actually believe a woman who not only laughed about it, she never even reported it to police and only told two friends...until conveniently making the claim right when he ran for re-election. She didn’t even have a claim because too much time had passed, but simply calling her a “liar” and “not his type”…

Do you believe there to be a specific sum of money that can alter the space-time continuum and change events in the past?

T Tesla is not the one that was reporting how many reservations they had for the most part. That was done by independent individuals based on reservation numbers. Also as a general rule, Tesla does not lie to people. The only real evidence anyone has of this is their overconfidence of FSD… but I remember when people…

guys...cmon. I dislike Elon as much as the next guy, but this isn’t bait and switch its exactly what is says it is - 30 days of free SERVICE. This is like a free trial of AOL, you think they are going to send you a computer to use that free disc? This is less scummy and more niche. If you can get your hands on the…

The article does seem to exhibit some bias, primarily in its tone and word choice. Here are some elements that suggest bias:

The FAQ pages says they are working on an extension cable adapter, but it will probably take some development time to design one to either work with the liquid cooling or with a built in chip to reduce the power or do some sort of smart temperature based power reduction.

people gonna people

Because people make EV charging harder than it needs to be and it’s almost comical in USA.

Ridiculous and Aspirational “lifestyle” merchandise is hardly unique to Tesla. Take a glance at the Porsche Boutique for completely over-the-top stuff. They once sold paperclips shaped like a 911!

I think the bigger issue is that every Tesla has GPS tracking. You aren’t getting very far.

Yeah I mean I hate to agree with Tesla, but the driver was paying NO attention at all, if there are interior cameras I would 100% bet their head was buried in their phone. I wouldn’t trust FSD on a good day, but less a quite foggy one like in the video.

These are the ONLY time I side with Tesla. Glad the guy didn’t die or anything, but this is his fault 🤣

I know for some reason we ain’t wild about Teslas here but for being roughly 150K less expensive and at a 380lb ft deficit in power, losing by a third of a second seems.......pretty insignificant?
