1st Gear: This is all an attempt by Musk to have Tesla valued as a tech company rather than a car company. Unfortunately for him, investors are getting a bit tired of waiting on autonomy. This was his big chance to show his plans on how to do that, and instead we got more vague plans and two new vehicles! (Oddly…

No Dice here. If it’s being sold by an actual shop that does repair work then fix the carb.

Yeah.  I’m not normally litigious myself.  That’s why I prefer to fire bomb car dealers who screw up.  It’s just easier.  /s

A good reason to buy a slow, boring, shitty car, just park next to one of these Infiniti's and your car is safe.

If only there some kind of remote, OnStar like thing that could be triggered to lock thieves in stolen cars and then have them self-destruct. A computerized voice could do a countdown from say 30 seconds (maybe less, testing would need to be done) while interjecting little comments like “don’t you wish that you’d…

The first video where he uses yet another fake encounter with a person to pat himself hard on the back is just laughable! He really thinks nobody has ever thought of possibly making auto loan interest tax-deductible?? Of course it has been thought of many, many times. Especially by the auto industry who looks at the…

In the clip the “robot” says “I’m not gonna confirm”

Sounds like something a pig would say.

I could’ve had SO much fun with this if I’d been controlling that thing. Imagine making the robot flip people off or making the jerk off gesture when people asked stupid questions. A PR nightmare maybe, but it’d be a hoot to see Musk explain why his robot was such an asshole. 

No better than this grifter, really.

Honestly, if a dealership screwed me over by not putting a plate on my test vehicle, odds of me completing a $40,000 transaction with them just went down to 0%.

How bout a trade - cops can punish me for the crimes of a car dealership when cops start paying for their own fines personally instead of using taxpayer money.

Stop defending the cops. They just ruined someone's day and cost them hundred of dollars. 

If the policeman suspected the vehicle was stolen and called a wrecker to take the vehicle to the police lock up, I would agree.  But the policeman knew who owned the vehicle and decided to penalize an innocent party.  Obviously, campaign contributions keep the dealership free from any penalties for breaking the law.

because every time the police ticket a customer, the dealership is going to lose a sale. if I was on a test drive and the cops gave me a ticket because the sales guy was too lazy to put the dealer tag onto the car, no fucking way am I going to let that guy get a commission.

I’m not normally a litigious person, but I would absolutely sue the dealership for this.  If I’m test driving a car, I’m obviously assuming the dealer has complied with license plate rules.  You’re telling me I’m supposed to verify they’ve put the plate on the car and the registration is current and all that?  I’m…

A lot of denials from the dealer that fucked up. I don’t know if this is a reoccurring issue or not, but it seems like if the dealer had offered to correct the problem properly for the customer we wouldn’t be hearing about it. So I’m going to go ahead and believe that a dealer in Texas has been playing fast and loose…

It would look cool in a movie, but reality is at least 30-40 years away from allowing this thing to exist. This is no different than hundreds of other random concepts we’ve seen manufacturers show off in early 2000s. Almost all of them ended up in a recycling center somewhere, or some abandoned lot in the middle of…

I hope he’s referring to Jill Stein, a walking talking grift in herself.

CandidateS, plural? You sure about that?
