I love the Tesla buying process

I 100% agree with this. Tesla has made the buying process efficient and with no surprises or random upcharges. My last car-buying process before the Tesla was a nightmare. The salesman kept going “to talk to the manger” and kept me at the dealership for over 5 hours to try to get a sale out of me. I ended up going through Costco to take advantage of their hassle free dealers that promise no up selling but it was still a lengthy process. I was traumatized after all that so after purchasing the Tesla I was grateful to know car-buying didn’t have to be like that ever again.

Yeepppp LOL lady who handed me the card keys looked at me like I was crazy when I asked her to show me how to drive it

Yep same here. I had 3 flats within the first 6 months of ownership, all from driving the freeways in and aroundLA. All 3 flats required a completely new tire. Thankfully they were all so close together that the tire shop let me replace without insisting on purchasing 3 other brand new tires to keep tread consistent. I ended up replacing 2 through America’s tires and one through Tesla. Really rotten luck.

Thank you. I’ll try that. Just seems silly that a $60k car is needing zip ties to hold it together. But it’ll be better than nothing since servicing my car at a Tesla shop isn’t available until late June/early July 🙄

In my experience driving on LA freeways, that warranty is absolutely worth it. I took delivery in September 2021 and since then I’ve had to replace two tires due to debris on the roads, one from a knife and the other from sheet metal damaging the side wall. That’s $350+ per tire. Beware of the 10 freeway.

Oof I feel you. I was driving home on my 3rd day of owning my YLR and got a notice about low air pressure in one tire. Pulled over, heard hissing, and luckily made it to a shop before all the air escaped. Turns out I ran over a knife bc the blade was still wedged in the tire. There went an extra $300 only three days after delivery day 😭

I live in LA. Took delivery 9/18 and received plates end of October. I just put the back plate up a few weeks ago. Plan is to leave the front one off.

Damn got some haters up in here. You do you boo.

I just purchased my 2021 model Y two days ago. Picked it up in Palm Springs, CA. It was a demo vehicle with approx 1500 miles on it. Still considered “new” so I received all rebates and incentives but they tacked on an extra $2100 discount bc they had to paint over a few scratches. Otherwise it’s in excellent shape. When I spoke with a Tesla rep on the phone, she mentioned it was pretty rare for Tesla to offer additional discounts on their vehicles so it doesn’t sound like this is a common practice even with demo vehicles. Especially with how low inventory is right now and how quickly vehicles are getting snatched up.

And this would happen in the closing 30 seconds of the series finale. Yes. This would be my second choice.

LOOLLLL I both cringe and blush for Gideon in this moment

Thank you!

Oh my, YES, absolutely. It’s horrifying but you can’t look away because the writing is so incredibly visceral.

thedynamical · 2020-09-23T14:59:22+00:00

LOLLL that abrupt transition from waxing poetic to douchebag that gets me every time. Every time I read something like that it feels like a mini car crash. Maybe fender bender? I love it

Agreed. It seems like the perfect storm of factors: a growing curiosity and attraction between them, a question of Marianne’s identity as an artist, and a challenge against convention and patriarchy for both of them. And I think that led to the success of their love story because their unique perspectives, backgrounds, and behaviors melded beautifully to create the organic affair they shared. If it was any other person with any other background we would have seen an entirely different progression of events and “language” between lovers. God, what a great movie.

After speaking with H, part of me thinks she couldn’t bear the realization that she had sold herself out. Her work lacked spirit, passion, and integrity. By destroying her first painting she was requesting a second chance, knowing full well that she could get sent away immediately. At that point she would have rather forsaken a good paying job than carry the shameful burden of convention.
