Lemme get this straight... there is a job with lousy hours, a ridiculous split shift, low wages, no benefits, and the opportunity to pilot a large metal box full of unruly and entitled children... and nobody wants it?

17k residual is laughable, probably more like half that

They didn’t “give it away”. With a cap cost of $34k, fed incentives of $7,500, CO incentive of $5,000 and a residual of around $17k there is a dealer or OEM cash input of about $4,500 to get it to $0 down/monthly.

Sounds like they gave away an unsellable car in exchange for getting 35 people (who are searching for a new car) onto their dealer lot. Not the worst sales strategy I’ve heard.

I feel like I’ve seen this before.

It’s true the US economy is doing very well right now and recovered from pandemic issues much better and faster than others with the miraculous soft landing almost nobody thought was possible.

Did they do the normal thing an spend that money as if it was never going to stop flowing?

Automakers in the US sold 16 million automobiles in 1986. They will sell approx 16 million in 2024. The population also grew by 40% since 1986.

The absolute enshittification of the entire internet hasn’t helped

I’ve come to the conclusion that, on balance, unrestricted use of the internet was a bad idea.

It’s the only economy that’s not on the brink of collapse right now.

Motherfucking conspiracy theorists have crippled if not destroyed this country.

In all honesty, this comes back to the fundamental question: what is the point of a digital licence plate if it’s not for this sort of nonsense? It’s more expensive than stamped aluminium, requires power, can fail, and can be tampered with in an occluded manner. Who, other than people looking to commit moving…

Fuck em. Feed em fish heads.

Wait until the poors find out who Republicans truly hate the most.

Tesla vehicles accounted for 40 out of the 45 fatal crashes reported through October 15

Not only cool with it but fucking ecstatic about it. Its all going to be a disaster.

“I find it puzzling that we have the technology to shoot a missile up a gnats ass from hundreds of miles away yet somehow we cannot identify these drones ?”

Theyre probably coming from fort Dix or whatever that airforce base near us is. No way if they didnt know what they were would they not be obliterated immediately. There are just too many military bases around us for them not to be 100% sure what they are.
