Bingo. One of the #1 strategies of the con artist is to stall you and put you off and just plain drag things out until you give up, and an experienced one like this dealership will stonewall until the heat death of the universe.

Well, I don’t know if I’d go quite THAT far.....

That logo caught my eye too!  It’s a lovely design choice.  An excellent call to their long tradition, without becoming ostentatious.

A big part of the problem is that Tesla repair work is artificially inflated in price, to the point where even minor damage can result in a car being declared totaled by insurance since it’s cheaper to replace the car than to pay Tesla’s mechanics to fix it. On the plus side, this has resulted in surprising resale…

Same!

Last paragraph goes into infrastructure costs a bit.

I think a lot of them are young and have never bought a non-pre-owned car before.

It does my heart good to see this spacecraft finally in space with crew on board.  :-)

Woohoo!   The 100th Atlas V mission is successfully concluded.  Now Starliner begins its first crewed mission.  Godspeed to Butch and Suni!

Fun fact: he holds the Guinness World Record for longest gap of time between television appearances, because Ian Chesterton appeared in “The Chase” in 1965 and “The Power of the Doctor” in 2022.  And with no reused footage cheats or anything; he actually performed the part again, as the senior member of a sort of…
