eminent domain seizure and fucking liquidate them

Powerful Crassus energy to this one.

Hopefully this will educate future generations to tax the everliving fuck out of the rich. American democracy has gotten worse as the tax rates fell.

I don't know. The US might hit them with tariffs if they do that!

I saw a black one yesterday. It still looks like garbage in person. That photo is just unjustly flattering.

There are bits and pieces of the design that aren't incredibly offensive. But all put together, it just looks like a mess of a hulk.

The back end screams of 90's luxor. I was going to say that the hidden door handles are complexity for no advantage, but nearly every component reeks of that. It has one of the largest windshields in existence, yet, you still can't see out of it well.

Unless they're all detailed regularly, they look like they're dirty.

It's like someone looked at a delorian, then threw away everything they saw and tried to make a truck from a 6yo's drawing paper.

A petty thief can only steal what you currently have. Elon can take away things that you don't even have yet.

It's a helluva thing killing a man; you take all he's got, and all he's ever gonna have.

Canadians are furious, but even considering an uptick to catch rebates this is pure fraud:

Let’s run the numbers:

• 8,669 iZEV rebates over three days claimed by Tesla dealerships.

• Mostly claimed by four Tesla locations.

• Tesla dealerships in Canada are open from 10 AM to 6 PM.

• That works out to 722 rebates per primary dealership per day.

• Which equals 90 iZEV rebates per hour.

• Or 1.5 Tesla sales per minute.

Let’s take a step back. Two Tesla sales every 90 seconds? That’s absurd. A good car salesperson might close two deals in two hours, not per minute. And that’s in a normal sales environment… not one where every eligible car has to be processed for a government rebate at the same time.

Even if there was a real run on Teslas, the numbers they claim to have sold are impossible. This is some sloppy ass fraud. The only way they could have "sold" that many was as fleets and if they did, I'd bet everything I own that it was money laundering.

Tesla has always had problems with quality. In an attempt to increase profit and decrease production time Tesla has sacrificed quality control.

Many customers feel the need to do it themselves. So many do this that there are even people making money of it.

Tesla has always been like this. That's why they have mostly been cheap compared to competition.

Should be easy to verify those sales if they are legitimate.

It was out of 4 dealerships. It's impossible to sale that many cars in three days from 4 dealerships, no matter how many people want to buy them. Plus no way was Canadian demand that high over a $5k rebate.

Ideology aside, they make some very good PR

They immolate people per vehicle sold than the ford pinto. The have absurd numbers of points of failure; until a few years ago each door handle had over a dozen sensors and wires, all exposed to moisture and thermal cycling, and cost $500 each. They use a few hall effect sensors now, but still cost >$500.
