I’m from California (over 45 years) and I never say “the” before a freeway number. It sounds very dumb. But then, I’m from Northern California, not LA.

Umm, reading your experience, other than the at-home service (and btw, I live in a neighborhood full of Teslas and have never seen this), you just described the standard luxury brand dealer experience. It mirrored my experience at the local BMW, Audi, and Jag dealer, as well as at my dad's local Lexus dealer when…

Sure - but why is an F250 deductible 100% in year 1? Show me an Iowa curve that supports that depreciation schedule... And why isn’t a Rav4 that a Uber driver uses for work deductible on the same schedule? That’s the rub for me. It’s nonsensical to deduct fully in the first year and it does incent buyers to buy…

I see what you mean, but trucks are equipment that businesses need to do a job.

Wait a minute: that can’t be right. An EV that does not weigh three tons, that does not have 600hp, that does not reach 60mph in 3.6 seconds, and is not a dick-length comparison fetish object. Say whut?

We could just dissolve this team all together? Throw in the Detroit Lions while you’re at it.

Why does there have to be a gotcha?

If there is even a single example of a non-scam NFT then please let us know.

If you are trying to sell me on something it is on you to get that message out. Right nearly all the news is negative. But instead of trying to provide a positive spin you throw the now expected cryptobro tantrum and which is to look down your nose at everyone while yelling about how we just don’t understand.

As someone who is invested and understands NFTs

“We don’t really understand why this is good, or know what we will do with it, but we keep hearing this is good so we’re going in that direction” sure is something.

Because there’s no real point to it and dedicating development time to this scam is a waste of time and resources that could be used in making their games actually good instead.

Those game currencies and their ecosystems don’t require the same energy a US household uses in two months several times a day. Nor are they part of a scheme that can be described as “the stock market, but with even faker money.” Nor are they dominated grifters utilizing the system for get-rich-quick BS.

because its normalizing the practice. even if THIS instance isnt as noticeably malicious at first glance, doesnt mean it isnt harmful. Many people don’t want to see this sort of thing implemented period and allowing a route to legitimize it, just makes way for those that are malicious to get their foot in the door via…

cryptocurrency and NFTs are a scam.

You’re very right. What he didn’t bring up is the fact that it’s a first year vehicle built during an historic material shortage and period of worker relations upheaval. And it’s a Ford product. It’s not a recipe for a good time.

could care less how big of a dick dude was. Ford issued orders DO NOT MARK UP RESERVATIONS and what do they do?

They broke the rules. So FUCK EM. Dealer got off too easy. Fuckin cheaters.

100% why the dealer model needs to not exist anymore and nothing justifies its continued existence and is a burden to the consumer and in no way shape or form an asset for the consumer.

Obviously these type of dealership do not believe in long term relationship. They will be the first one to cry over direct selling model like Tesla, which hopefully become more popular down the road.

I think I’m finally at an age where driving a car that only allows you to use 20% of its potential while costing almost a half-year’s salary, most of which is spent trundling along at an average speed of 23 mph through dense urban traffic seems really fucking stupid. Gimme lots of cushions and seat massagers and…
