‘"It’s rather interesting that the other poster would say that the last name of Lee would make someone assume a Chinese lineage. I suppose I’d better break the news to Christopher Lee, Spike Lee, Robert E Lee and Tim Berners-Lee?"'

If Enterprise or Avis were smart, they’d publicly invite the Hertz customer to rent with them and match his status.

The policy that charges gas for an EV... totally agree. As far as the customer service: typically, it’s laziness combined with poor management. That is, the employee would have to put in some sort of exception to get the refund, and with that additional effort, that employee would have to spend the next 2 weeks…

Every time I read a story like this, it feels malicious. Like some one deliberately added the charge out of boredom or something. 

Damn this diversity stuff really triggers you huh

Which part?

I honestly can’t tell if this is satire. 

Also, to the dipshit grey who thinks that Biden caused the invasion of Ukraine and war in the Middle East... wow, my dude, Biden caused war in the Middle East? Shit, I knew he was old, but not that old.

It would be a fair response to having microtransactions foisted on you after the fact.

Elon’s money-grubbing schemes don’t seem to be working out to well for either Tesla or Xitter. Nobody likes paywalls

What’s unlocking that extra range gonna do for the longevity of the battery? Wasn’t keeping the battery soc (state of charge) within healthier limits the main reason for sealing it away in the first place?

Are jailbroken Teslas going to become a thing? 

When I was a naive teenager on one of my first solo road trips, this 30-something dude approached me while I was gassing up my car and asked for a ride to somewhere a few blocks away because something about this grandmother and being in a wheelchair. I reluctantly said ok. Apparently that grandmother and her…

Yep. My dad was an analyst for a commercial credit-rating agency, and he was ranting about this when I was young. He later acknowledged that it (as a trend) had gotten so much worse.

R&D is usually the first to go when corporations need to cut costs.
