The video makes it look like the guys had been told where, approximately, the car was, and were out looking for it specifically, spotted it from across the road (also the angle they spotted it at means it couldn’t have been bumper stickers or the like), smashed it up kind of carefully targeting only the windows, and…

Or he could call the police on what is incredibly obviously a scam. The car was clearly targeted by people who were out looking specifically for that car (see the video), and no other cars - they didn’t even do the figleaf of mildly damaging the cars nearby.

Dude. That’s either a Mercedes GLC or GLA. The total cost of the car is thus between $34k and $55k. The total cost of the car.

Not even then. Nobody ever made a profit PAYING insurance claims. They will do their level best to wiggle out of it.

I sincerely hope you told whomever was responsible for that invoice to eat a bag of dicks. 

Main lesson - don’t rent from Turo. 

Truly rich people don’t worry about interest rates for their personal purchases. It’s not like they need a loan to buy a lambo.

Yeah, Ferrari’s obsession with controlling the fate of cars they’ve already sold and molding buyer behavior has been really obnoxious. I would agree with you, but it’s quite a sea change when Lambo and its buyers are viewed as the chill normal guys. 

The information shared so far doesn’t make sense. I tend to think this is the same as any time a car owner does something stupid and realizes the implications of their actions: call the media!

I’m guessing there’s something more here going on than driving in the rain. I’ve never read about another Model Y getting disabled by rain. Perhaps some major manufacturing flaw in this specific battery, or prior damage to the battery enclosure?

This needs 110% of all available stars.

The effort to recoup costs was always a last ditch hail Mary.

So that $24M is just sunk costs?

Yea, selling with 1,700 miles is hardly a flip.

Sovereign citizens already do this. They drive around without license plates and then argue with police when they get pulled over. It doesn’t usually work out well for them.

Seriously, im suprised a RWNJ hasn’t tried to get rid of licence tags.

If only there were a some way of identifying cars beyond make and model. Maybe by displaying some sort of code made up of numbers and letters? Nah, forget it, crazy idea.

Any officer who is being investigated should be prohibited from retiring or resigning in order to avoid repercussions. Period.

And that’s why EVs aren’t the answer to everything. Reducing use is absolutely an essential part of keeping humanity in existence.

When are the diesel generators used? My guess is that its surge capacity only . Can you imagine what kind of a load 98 EV’s charging would take? Even if we assume a relatively slow charging rate of 100 KW you are talking about 10 MEGAWATTS of power. Allow me to illustrate 10 megawatts of solar.
