Because it’s not a car that’s actually for sale.

I interpret service as ‘oil change’ and most dealers these days run oil change services that area cheaper than doing it yourself. I would be hard pressed to do the oil change on my Accord cheaper than the Honda dealer does it and then I wouldn’t have a fancy receipt to add to my stack of receipts documenting the…

That first paragraph seems unecessary. Do you list all of the qualifiers when Mercedes wins their races? “Benfitting from a superior car, Bottas holding up Ferrari and Vettel making a mental error, Hamilton secured another victory.”

That will be interesting but technically Tesla doesn’t have to tell them where to go. Like Milton in Office Space, that’s something that would just work itself out haha.

I think most insurance companies will celebrate the day Tesla insurance takes all those nightmare claims off their hands.

It’s actually pretty simple. Insurance rates are determined by the total amount a group of people is expected to spend on repairs during a given year. If Tesla is so confident that Teslas crash much less and/or they can repair them cheaper, then the cost per year for a set group of people to repair their cars is lower…

Yet when US Steel and Standard Oil did it, they were called monopolies and we had to send in trust busters...it’s not like he invented vertical integration.

Tesla will not sell parts to a shop that isn’t certified. Several automakers do this on higher end vehicles, especially aluminum intensive ones.

Pretty sure you get 3 passes typically at a test and tune night. Might be kind of hard for a Tesla to pull off three consecutive max performance runs, not even counting the charge burned driving to and from the strip. I don’t know of any racetracks with superchargers at them.

These posts are worse than the ‘oh yeah, I can build a 92 civic that would blow the doors off this car for less than half the price’ people.

Only thing I had to google was Chel.

Oh,is that all you appreciate?

Geeze... less than 1000 miles and that seat bottom leather is already looking stretched out...

The $60k C8 has over $30k worth of options available.

Exactly. In 1999, kids loved the movie. Most people under 28 still love the movie because it was their Star Wars movie. Even the older fans were happy with it, at first. It wasn’t until later when everyone decided how much they didn’t like the movie and it became fashionable to dump on it.

It all depends on what failed and why. Insurance doesn’t ever cover the cause of the fire as that is also excluded but it will cover the resulting damage (unless of course it is excluded for some other reason). I would imagine the warranty would be the opposite. They might cover the part that failed but might not want…

when asked for clarification they pointed to the exclusion for damages caused during racing/offroad/exhibition of speed events.

Exactly. It’s a pointless exercise.

You ask the people of Japan back then and they would have told you the fire bombings were far more terrifying.

That last bit is exactly why North Korea refuses to give up their ambitions, they know it’s the first step towards regime change.
