“But if carmakers don’t want large inventories on dealer lots, then why not cut the lot out entirely? Go to a direct model and sell to consumers without the dealer as an intermediary.”

Same with the word “recall”.  I’ve seen several news items over the past couple months about Tesla vehicles being “recalled” when the fix was a software update.  If that’s true, wouldn’t billions of computers around the world be “recalled” every time there’s a Windows/macOS update?  Or wouldn’t billions of smartphones…

“sent to dealers about a stop-sale order for faults electronics.”

I think a lot of it depends on people’s standards/expectations. I have friends who swear they’re fine with $30-$60 wireless earbuds, but I haven’t found anything decent under $100.  I also know some people who have cheap $30 fitness trackers and complain about their limitations, but won’t spend an extra $50 to get…

“Amazon Prime Raises Price as Jeff Bezos’ Yacht Attracts Unexpected Costs”

“I don’t know, pay your employees enough money ”

“First thing I removed was the fuse for the DCM.”

Eff the slideshows! I don’t understand why an article like this needs a slideshow (I get that you put in annoying slideshows to try to get more ad revenue, but my guess is that just spurs more people to use ad blockers on this site). There’s no explanation in the article or headline as to why this article would need a…

“Hell Yeah, Knives Out for 2022, Baby”

“shame on you, but no judgement here”

“Messages lets you open the emoji picker window really fast if you use the keyboard shortcut Fn + E. Go ahead and try it out.”
