Those studies usually fail to account for the ease of service with Tesla. You can schedule service from the app and most of the time they will send a mobile technician to you at home or at work or wherever you want to service the vehicle, so people are more likely to schedule appointments for minor issues.

It means a moisture sensor has triggered.

Moisture sensors don’t typically cost $21k. They said the batteries were full of water.

Okay so for starters this article is clearly just a dig at Elon. If it wasn’t they would never have mentioned him but Elon makes headlines.

Second, I don’t buy it. We’re getting one side of the story here. They’ve been selling these cars by the millions for years at this point. If the cars were failing “while driving in the rain”, it would be a much bigger deal.

The " Elon Musk could buy everyone in the world a Tesla if he wanted to." line makes it clear that this is just more Elon/Tesla clickbait.

Likely he will let it play out as long as possible. But eventually he’ll have to. He’s made it abundantly clear this far that he doesn’t care about the money and complying with these laws wouldn’t mean going against the whole reason he bought it in the first place.

Isn’t this what the liberals want? For government to be in charge of what we’re allowed to say?

People that don’t care about their privacy is exactly what makes it so hard to just exist privately. I shouldn’t have to give up my rights because other people don’t care about them

My guy, you couldn’t read the first paragraph in the OP link?

I can’t wait for my Aptera…

No he’s very smart in that he’s using Xitter to increase his influence, and thereby his wealth in the long term. Gonna cost him but he’ll probably come out net-positive, even if Xitter doesn’t.

Xitter is a corporation that doesn’t live in the EU

EU can only penalize him on revenue (not profit) in the EU. So likely small fries compared to the billions of dollars of devaluation and advertiser revenue he’s already squandered on his crusade.

I mean the board that HIRED him is still there. No one hires a guy like that and would be surprised about what they got.

I think you may have missed my initial reply where I stated specifically stated that I was not concerned about “stuff that makes you look different”.

Which is why I avoid them

Yeah, the question for me is “are they shoving those things you can purchase down your throat every 2 minutes?” because I find that disgusting.

I pretty much just assume “Free To Play” games are full of microtransactions, is that wrong?

E: to be clear, I don’t think microtransactions are an inherently bad thing. In fact, if people want to make games where other people with more money front the costs of development, I’m all about it.

What I hate is being reminded every 5 minutes that it has garbage skins that I can pay IRL money for.

$7 or 800%

I’ve already explained this.

There are Twitter–>Fedi bots you can follow for most “notable” figures. Obviously you can’t interact with them and you’ll only see replies from other “notable” figures, but I see that as a bonus.

Musk has already left millions of dollars in advertiser funds on the table in the name of “free speech”. He’s not going to comply.
