      That’s on him not on Tesla.

      But a no resale for one year provision in the contract? Kind of creepy.

      Only non-witches get due process.

        Amazing, and not in a good way.

        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

            Not really. It’s wrong, but not really creepy. They’re trying to prevent the whole Xbox thing where guys buy all of the new game consoles being released, then resell them for 2-3 times the original asking price. The goal is good, the method is not.

                    If something is on a relatively small release where the supply is far outstripped by demand, there will always be those that try to profit from it.

                    In this case, though? I would think Tesla would/should be willing to broker a deal for the guy. Offer it to the next guys down the line (nobody at the front will take it, but you still have to make the offer) then work your way down the list. Offer it at 95% the price of a new one. When it sells, Tesla takes 5% as a processing fee.

                      Saw one yesterday, my first. I didn't snap a photo - driving.

                      1. It looks much bigger than I expected.
                      2. It looks much dirtier than I expected.
                      3. It looks much, much, uglier than I expected.

                        I saw one yesterday too, and it made an impression. Mostly because it sped past me at 60 mph in a residential area.

                          This type of thing might provide BMW owners with some relief, at least.

                            Saw a Cubertruck yesterday.
                            Yeah, it reminded me of a full metal urinal too.

                                In Los Angeles.

                                I saw a cyber truck actually doing truck stuff.

                                Or maybe just flipping off the haters.

                                      I haven't been there in a while. The videos they post on Tik Tok show the city as dystopian with nearly all of the stores vacated. I'm curious regarding your perception of the city as (or if) it stands.

                                        I’ve been there twice since Covid, and LA twice since Covid. I always see more homeless encampments here in LA, though that could be that where I happen to go aren’t representative samples.

                                        I did go to a target with a CVS in it here in LA and had to have the glass doors opened for detergent, toothpaste, and razors.

                                          About the same number of trips for me, but for me, the number of (visible) homeless was much less on the last trip.
