i like this idea. i want tuned tires and window frames. 

are these crummy estimates just generated by an online tool based on information provided by the customer and then contracts signed without a visual inspection? that’s what it sounds like to me from this article. if that’s how Tesla is doing this part of their business, i’m not surprised AT ALL that roofers arrive and…

it sounds like the estimates are generated by software based on whatever the customer types into the online tool.

it sounds to me like the whole system is broken, because estimates are given and contracts signed based on whatever the customer types into the online tool, with no actual visual inspection.

it doesn’t sound like they are even doing rough visual inspections. the article makes it sound like the estimates are based off of whatever information the customer types into the website. the main problem here might be that estimates are given and contracts signed before anyone has even looked at the roof.

also, hey man don’t expect an article on car thefts to come with instructions.

i’m pretty sure the steering locks being handed out are The Club style. also i’m pretty sure built in steering locks can be defeated mechanically after prying the column cover off.

i will never choose to pay for a sunroof or leather seats or upgraded wheels or heated anything. but i will also never choose to drive a car without adaptive cruise, so i’ve resigned myself to paying for mixed bag bundles and trim options. i sure wish i could get a GTI with adaptive cruise AND plaid seats. i didn’t…

also, it doubles the number of assholes involved.

god damn it.

all i got from that spokesperson’s spiel is that the number i have to hit to not get fired is 90% on time.

it’s a disclaimer. they’re awfully common. but it would be refreshing if it just said look this is what we’ve got so far and it’s not perfect. if you want to play around with this, we’d appreciate the data. just keep in mind, if you trust it, it might kill you. let’s both do all we can to avoid that.

that’s so cool. the camera cuts out and you can’t see it but there’s no fireball and then the smoke clears and that tubby rocket is just sitting there like what’s up.

Utter horseshit. Fuck you, Zellmer, you lying asshole. This piece of shit telling me VW, instead of charging for the optional equipment, is going to start giving away this hardware and hope that people will subscribe. Go fuck yourself, Goebbels. You’re going to charge for the hardware and then charge me to use it and…

oh we’re going to be pedantic. i’ll credit the intercostals and abdominal muscles with the assist, but i’m not sort of correct. i’m correct.

woah woah woah. having to go to florida was not part of the deal.

that interior makes me feel sloppy. like, personally.

the chevy bolt and nissan leaf are too small to drive for Uber, and the Tesla Model 3 RWD does not cost less than a new car in the US used by an average Uber driver.

Diaphragm. you use your diaphragm to force air back out.

well i wouldn’t want to see it at the Getty, but if it was a Chrysler museum i’d want to see it. no, fuck that. if it was at the Getty i’d still want to see it.
