I’m so sure that this will happen…
Aka they save on delivery costs and your new car racks up miles on your own dime before you even get to drive it.
Yeah, no.
That would be true if any of this self driving shit actually existed, but it doesn’t. Elmo lies. A lot. About everything. So this? He’s just lying again .
It does, and I’ve heard its safer than humans in some cases, but there’s legal issues in the way. Like if a driverless car kills someone, who’s fault is it?
Where do you get any of that?
No, Elmo cara do not drive themselves. On the 5 steps to full self driving, Teslas barely make it to step 2. Full self driving doesn’t exist yet for any brand but most definitely not for Tesla
It’s not happening.
If it waives the destination fee, then I don’t see it as a bad problem depending on how much it would normally cost to deliver vs how many miles.
Dealers: charge bullshit fee
Mftr: “get rid of this bullshit fee by racking up miles right from the factory”
Customer: “this is such a phenomenal deal!”
bullshit fee
Do you think shipping and transportation of goods is free? Do you think truck drivers drive stuff around out of the goodness of their hearts?
Nope, but it also isn’t my problem. Roll it into the price of the car, like everything else, and it can be part of the price that you can discuss and haggle over. Coming to a 50k price just to see another 1k+ this and 1.5k that tacked on is absolute bullshit.
Except that not every place is next to the car factory. Delivery to Portland, Maine is going to be a much different price in comparison to Austin, Texas. Do you also expect the cost of titling and taxes be included in the advertised price? Do you know that those vary from location to location as well?
Do you also expect the cost of titling and taxes be included in the advertised price?
As a European, yes. Absolutely fucking yes. I drove a Model 3 away (a while ago obviously) with all papers in order paying exactly the listed price.
In the USA taxes and titling cost different amounts depending on where you live. It’s easier to calculate once you buy, especially if you are buying in another state than the one you reside in which is a big problem in my state where dealers don’t stock EVs. I had to go to the nearest large city which is in another state from where I reside to get my Bolt EUV.
You can calculate before you buy and each state usually has at least a chart to ballpark what you’ll pay. The easiest way to calculate these taxes would be to not levy them against people to begin with.
When did I say that every place was near an assembly line…? I said ‘not my problem’. It’s a company, they can figure it out.
And yes, yes I do. Again, not my problem. It’s almost like different locations can set different prices or something to compensate for variables. Amazing, what a concept!
Advertising cars would never be feasible on nationally broadcast TV under your system.
They did figure out the problem though. Price set by the manufacture, show cost for delivery on the window sticker, then when you buy they car the title and tax are figured out for where you live. It’s the fairest and easiest way of showing and figuring the price. If you can’t figure out that window stickers are available online and the tax and title yourself before you buy, that’s a you problem. It’s not on the seller nor the manufacturer to post pricing for every state or municipality.
If you want cleaner pricing, demand an end to titling and car taxes.
Eh, I live <1k miles from a Tesla factory, and I wouldn’t be too annoyed at having 1k miles on it when it gets to me. Knock the price down a bit since you no longer need to ship it everywhere and we’re good.
We all know this isn’t happening anytime soon, so I guess it’s only a hypothetical. We can talk once it’s a reality.
I’d want whatever the warranty was to be the same plus the miles.
So if it’s 5 year 50k miles and I get it at 1k, I 'd want 5 year 51k miles.
I suppose that’s fair. But you’re unlikely to see much difference with 1k miles.
It doesnt waive that fee because it is a federally required fee to be applied to all vehicles regardless of their… destination. Uhg.
Imagine it gets into an accident lol.
Who gets charged?
If you thought insurance was expensive before…
Tesla “FSD” switches off seconds before an accident, so this will be interesting.
“we planned for this edge case, and have programmed the vehicle to quickly leave the scene of any accident where a driver is not present. by accepting delivery (by purchasing a vehicle) you accept that all vehicles are sold as-is. tesla insurance customers get half-off repair claim deductibles for the first 7 days.”
Surely it would be Tesla since you don’t actually have possession of it, right? Right??
He forgot to give us the point values…
Ran Over… Reward Points… Child 20 Cat 10 Dog 15 Adult 25 I wonder what they’ll offer in the Tesla rewards shop
Run over Reward CEO - 100000 points Edit: updated into a table to clarify that I meant MINUS 100000 points, Life of one CEO is much more important to (f)Elon than lifes of us peasants.
Most popular user mod ever.
Nah, Teslas will set themselves on fire with a family inside before it allows something like that to happen.
Yup, initially the first comment was not in a table but was a list in format “[run over]-[revard]”… Stupid me, assumed these were penalty points.
Then you changed it to the table format, I realised my mistake… And then had to learn how to put tablets to Lemmy comments (I didn’t know we could do that!)
lol, glad I clarified it. I was going to leave it vague and then remembered tables.
Also, yes. Markdown is the shit and I’m glad Lemmy didn’t try to reinvent the wheel!

I told them I didn’t want the car delivered to my house. If they did, I would auto accept it. Even if there’s issues on it. Accept it from their dealership.
Is Joe Schmoe going to have to answer for his shitbox that just plowed through a school zone with an unusual number of speed bumps? Joe hasn’t even met his vehicle yet and it’s gonna be out there committing crimes potentially under his name.
Gotta save that stock price somehow. Activate investor bullshit machine.
Worked just a couple of months ago. Doubt it will this time.
The “next year” promise of the year…
There is no war in Ba Sing Se sorta vibes
I don’t want to be caught dead driving one of those fucking nazimobiles. I would not take one even if it were free.
Is that a threat?
Earnings call is today
Ah so more market manipulation… got it. Jesus I hate this douchebag.
Elump will accomplish this not by improving technology or software, but by outlawing any safety regulations that prove inconvenient.
Factory Floor is in China.
“it drove right through my kitchen wall. And I hadn’t even ordered one!”
Everyone: Hey, I’ve seen this claim before! Elmo: What do you mean you’ve seen it? It’s brand new!
Later this year: “I was right, but I actually meant to say ‘into’ instead of ‘to’ and ‘someone’s’ instead of ‘your’”
