Why don’t you knock it off with them negative waves, Jim?

I said I was sorry!

I’m so sorry about your mental retardation! :(

You’re a goddamned moron

Wow, this is another good reason to stick with big-chain gas stations, if you can.

So, that’s just like, your opinion.

Looks like dude’s trying to talk his old lady into a three-way with the brunette: “See honey, I’ve got a rose! We can make it romantic and everything!”

Thank you. For helping me wrap my own head around why I keep my 4Runner. It’s a ‘95 beater dream machine that I bought right out of college a couple years ago (I’m too hopelessly sensible to have gotten it earlier). It’s the one I learned to drive stick on and the fist one I’ve done anything extensive on repair-wise.…

It’s... It’s almost like Tesla exists to make money and isn’t a charity?

As someone who worked at Apple retail and then corporate business sales, this is a strangely normal set of complaints.

You got me, sport. Top notch investigative work. Bravo.

If it’s really so bad and unfair, why do the people bother sticking around? Anywhere that has a Tesla location almost certainly has dozens of other car dealerships within a few miles, so if Tesla is so bad why don’t you leave?

“Tesla gives its employees cancer, burns their first borns on stakes in front of them and invents new labor laws just to violate, having violated every existing one twice already and three times on Sundays (as a deliberate affront to religious employees).”

TLDR: selling cars called Teslas is pretty much just like selling cars.

I didn’t see anything in there where the claims of increasing sales quotas mid quarter were supported. If Tesla was not compliant with state labor laws (in practice from the sound of it, not by design) then they need to correct it. Go pure commission with a draw. If under performing salespeople complaining that they…
