It doesn't make sense to me and I've got three grocery stores and a walmart within miles of me.

I got what you were saying, it's just not something I can imagine ever caring that much about. Either I need a notebook or I don't. I'm out of grapes and want some or I don't. I don't need a shoddy piece of software to tell me any of those things. And attempting to micro optimize for sale events? Like, this just isn't a sensible way to live your life.

Only now? It's been two years of this and now they've had too much? No partial credit should be given for people that continued to participate when it was clear what was happening.

Same kind of people that think we can effectively pump enough CO2 out of the air, and other idiotic climate solution magic. Wishers that want to keep consumption at all time highs, basically.

I'm not sure how that's a useful thing besides convincing people to spend money on something they done need? Like, you either need a product at the grocery store or you don't. I don't need corpo bullshit ad bots to beg me to buy shit.

Autopilot will often detect a MC, and then the drive planner doesn't do anything about it. The software is total garbage.

Australia proved with data that filtering is SO much safer, but the US refuses to do anything at all to make roads safer for anyone.

No real surprise here, autopilot has been crashing into motorcycles for many years at this point with absolutely no repercussions for Tesla.

It's almost like he's been a purveyor of misinformation all along and people only care now for some reason.

You must speak on my free speech platform, and you have to pay me for it. Or else!

You're talking 25% off MSRP, or worse a locally adjusted market price which isn't the price people should pay. It's a suggested price. You should be paying invoice price plus a margin for dealer profit. It would really help for people to know how products sell and what the various prices are, because not knowing these things leads to mistakes like thinking you got an amazing deal by discounting MSRP or even a local market price rather than moving upward from invoice price.

I think you need to look into how dealer pricing works, because you're making a lot of common incorrect assumptions. The dealer's margin on a new vehicle is, like 2%. They make a third of their revenue from accessories, a third or more from repair work, and the rest from financing finders fees.

You got 25% off a car because either it was used, or the manufacturer kicked in incentives. Not because a dealer could afford to give you 25% off.

Also, LMAO on hydrogen.
