    after submitting a $122,135 order

    The buyer told us that he paid a $250 order fee on Friday and previously paid a $100 reservation fee.

    Tesla doesn’t have to refund those types of fees if a buyer cancels

    You have to pay $350 to get the privilege to fork over a hundred and twenty grand? My jaw literally dropped.

      You forget we live in a society where we have bought tickets and raffles for the chance of being able to buy Air Jordans or Yeezys or w/e fuck shoe that did that.

          I’ve been wearing the same two pairs of shoes for about 4 years now. I thought one pair was failing earlier in the year, but the glue repair held and I’ve continued to wear them.

          Honestly Tesla culture reminds me of any brand of car fanboyism. The ones I got most familiar with was the supposed “hot rodders” that viewed a junked out piece of rust that’s sat in a field 20 years worth thousands of dollars to spend thousands of dollars to not drive it. Got sick of it as someone who’s first car was a 70s one and attempting to find parts and pieces was people telling a high schooler to just take it to a shop and spend more than I’ve spent on my current modern car+motorcycle because none of them actually bothered working on their shit before.

          Now I said that, there’s also the motorcycle culture, and we’re weird as fuck.
