That’s not how allocations work. In normal times, allocations are given based on sales. If this dealership is so good at servicing vehicles and taking care of customers they should have nothing to worry about. The temporary chip shortage isn’t a good enough reason to stop building a dealership that’s probably been in…

The existing dealer will have to sue Nissan to stop this, and while the suit precedes the new dealer will be stayed from operating.

Not sure I saw the end of that one. Did they catch the killer?

I don’t buy ostentatiously logo’d clothes, I remove the dealer stickers when I buy a car.

Steve is plotting what to do with you now that you’ve left the fold. 

Tesla-stans always have to be extra.

My packaging pet peeve is perforated cardboard that doesn’t work at all and you end up crushing the box before the perforations work.

Actually, kinda, yeah. Either intentionally or unintentionally. I wear plain clothes with no logos or anything on them, built a computer in a plain black unlit case with no badges, avoid branded stuff like the plague, and most of my food ends up in plastic freezer safe bags because the original packaging says it’s…

These people are deeply embarrassing.

Upper middle class tech illiterate people really fall into the “Your property is your personality” trap much more easily than other people.

You know what I’ve never done after forking over tens of thousands of dollars to a company to buy their product? Volunteer as their PR department as so many of these Tesla fanatics do. Has Tesla ownership become ingrained into their personality that they take any perceived slight as a personal attack?

I grew up on 60s cars (not that old, but that’s what we drove). When the check engine light came on you basically had half a second to shut the engine off so you could coast to a safe spot to stop before things went bad.

Thats not what I’m asking. I’m asking if the light he’s referring to is the oil life reminder like what you are describing, or a more serious notification like low oil pressure or volume.

An important bit of information we need to know is whether the oil light was a service reminder, or status indicator. If the light was a “service soon” it’s one thing, but if it was indicating low pressure or levels...thats another.

The obvious answer is to dump them in the ocean like we do other waste.

A way to properly recycle them is still just as necessary.

Solar storage seems to be the best use for these. Recycle the batteries that are truely no longer good, but reuse the batteries that have some capacity left. With most single family homes(82m in the US), space and weight is not an issue like it is in a car so a heavily degraded battery is not useless. A battery bank…

Never said it wasn’t. Still legal though.

Like the person I almost rear-ended this morning when she stopped at an empty round-a-bout.
