Why do people still buy Teslas? Serious question

Edit - great responses everyone. It was a genuine question & I appreciate the candor

Listen when adults speak to you

You need a raise bud

Grow up bud

Thanks for putting this together. I am currently looking to build a self hosted media server and I think you may have just convinced me to go with the build you wrote up

Taking out a loan for a vehicle does not mean you are rich lol.

Anyone can get financing for a shitty new car, not everyone can figure out how to retire by the age of 55

Nah, being fat is the embodiment of laziness. Your bias isn’t wrong, but good on you for trying to give people a chance.

I think updating the driving test to mandate proving you’re able to drive a stick would thin the herd quite a bit.

Especially in the USA

You forgot complacency and apathy

Pretty sure I read they’re all losing money hand over fist, which is why they’re implementing ads and jacking up prices. Exception being Netflix.

Ah the good ol minivan motor Tacomas. They don’t make ‘em like they used to

I don’t know about you, but I’ve made a shit ton of money in the market by investing in green technology.

My structural engineer buddy often says “I’m still an engineer when the power goes out” lol

Yea that was my point re: Nissans aren’t hat they used to be.

A brain damaged chimp could get financing for a Nissan. They certainly aren’t designed for quality anymore, regardless of fuel system

Glad to see you’re happy with your purchase bud

Yea the point I was making is they’re not the same company the once we’re. Nissan of the late 90’s no longer exists.

A 4 year old car should have zero issues but I say that being a Toyota owner.

The Leaf’s air cooled batteries lacking any kind of thermal management is usually a deal breaker for most folks. But yes, I’m sure Nissan chose to do that for quality reasons.

Lol I think their incompetent QA/QC department would like to speak with you.

Nissan vehicles are hot garbage. Go drive a Leaf sometime and see for yourself

Apparently these billionaires vote & elect the folks who want to arm all of these workers you speak of. Sound logic if you ask me

Ha I see we found the carpenter in the group. Our CEO & myself are both current pipefitters bud. And you are correct, I was referring to the employer advisory board on which our CEO & myself sit for our company.

Costs don’t matter as much if you’re operating in an area with sufficient union market presence. Go try starting a union outfit in Idaho and see if your “to hell with costs” ideology holds up lol.

Most small mom & pop outfits fall into that category - their competition isn’t union so unionizing immediately puts them at a huge disadvantage. Outfits like Starbucks on the other hand, they can most certainly afford the added overhead burden.
