Never change.

Design consistency and reduced opportunity for, uh, ahem, unfair advantage.

How exactly does one determine “Broken” in such a vehicle? I’m assuming this is a fluid concept...

Pretty easily, judging from the video.

Tesla is ahead of schedule.  They weren’t expecting to blow up in China for a couple more years.

You have to admire the dedication to simulating real-world customer driving cases - getting a dually to tail-gate other drivers on the way to a DIY store to buy a shopping bag of materials :-)

Work at a dealership.  I will 100% guarantee you that none of our techs would ever run their errands in a customer car, with the only exception being there are times that our customers are notified the vehicle has to be run through cycles and we get their permission to drive a vehicle home overnight.  Then someone…

You mean the guy who actually committed the fault got fired?  

I mean, that’s the guy that did it.

The “shlub” was a technician who used a customer’s car in a way he shouldn’t have. And you think upper management was, what, in on it? Hahaha, bud you have very little understanding of how a dealership operates, huh? I would be surprised if the GM of that store even knew the employees name or that he even worked…

As a manager myself (in a different industry), I can’t see how your way of “taking responsibility” is possible unless you babysit the employee every second of every day.

Should an adult really need to be told not to take a customer’s car for their own errands?

I mean, the schlub at the bottom used her truck for a Lowe’s run. He deserved to be fired.

Wow, the dealership took responsibility. I did not see that coming.

At first, I was like , “Hey, $39K...not bad for an awesome truck. Oh.”

The conversion is $39,995, and that’s on top of the truck itself.

I dunno, put the right dickhead in charge and you could wind up trying to give a car away for free and still not be able to move it. All it takes is a thoroughly unpleasant asshole to queer the deal.

Pushrod tech and adding a cylinder.
