Man…I hate everyone in this story.

The explanation of “Kaufman language” is poor/inadequate.

I’m willing to put money down on the fact that NONE of those people actually NEED a pickup truck, or USE their pickups AS picksups (you live in an HOA community? you’re not on a farm, wtf do you need a pickup for?).  

Overbearing, insane HOA? Check

Well the way to challenge the rule, is to park the pickup in your drive way and have them fine you, that would set off a legal battle, that would test the law. 

Some residents have taken to parking their trucks in a pay lot over half a mile from the neighborhood,

Could drinking 32 oz of coffee possibly contribute to why this dude is constantly at Rage DEFCON 1?  Good grief that’s a bit too much stimulation.

Bit of an escalation, but I ain’t mad at her.

Hire a Cuban body man who can fabricate a fender from the roof metal of a ‘53 Chevy and whose main tools are a concrete curb and a hammer. Talented! 

It seems like they actually did pretty well with the hardware. It was the software that was their downfall. Given their cash burn, they couldn’t afford to wait to ship cars until the software was fixed. But this only delayed the reckoning because it caused all of the initial reviews to be terrible. Now, despite one…

That’s a good point. I’m no fan of Tesla products (i did recently drive a plugin-hybrid as a rental car and it was legit, but not a Tesla), but while 50,000 are unsold, they still sold hundreds of thousands of vehicles in the quarter as Lawrence pointed out.

That’s an insane take. The Model Y was the most sold car worldwide in 2023. They’re popular because of cost / efficiency / range.

To be fair, weren’t most of those former Uber cars with near 100K miles?

Do be fair, you can see me mowing my lawn from space.  Hey wait...

Yep you have to go to the linked article to see that. Also you can pretty much see anything from space these days, so I feel like that term is sort of outdated. It’s more like “you can see how full all of their lots are vs last year from satellite imagery” or something like that. But you know...clicks.

Wait, what’s that about selling at a loss? How important, exactly, is that?

This happened 12 months ago with the Model 3 when Q3 2023, people said there was a slow down. Than we found out Tesla was using all the parts in inventory to build as many Model 3s as they could, so they had inventory to take the production lines off and upgrade them for the new “Highland” Model 3 which came out Jan…

Story about seeing Tesla cars from space includes no images of seeing cars from space....

The dumbest thing in all of this is the guy was forced to downsize his life to live in a crappy apartment with crappy parking, and still decided to go through with buying a $100k+ truck.

That would generate fewer comments.
