Don't get ripped off.

I know, that's a foreign concept to most of you.

    You're the one who injected "getting ripped off" into the discussion as some false dichotomy, so don't grandstand about how apparently anyone who doesn't support fascism is a sucker, you dolt.

    Rich coming from the person trying to justify Tesla cars as not a ripoff when they're some of the worst shit to come out of North America in the past few decades, equipped with a ripoff self-driving technology that doesn't work even though it was promised to be coming as a fully fledged feature a decade ago, and which has been getting charged as a complete feature for just as long.

    Maybe, just maybe, the ultra-billionaire fascist asshole who's hoarding wealth by inflating his companies' stock prices doesn't have his costumer's best interests in mind. I know, shocking, moral values kinda correlate with whether you're getting ripped off or not, its a crazy concept, and one that the MAGA folks so desperately think they understand but they sorely don't.

    I'm literally saying Teslas are a ripoff.

    You're paying extra because there's no competition. There's no competition because the same people profiting off of your naivete uses that profit to buy your government and make your laws.

    OP literally said there's much better deals anyways. You focused entirely on the financial aspect of the comment, when that was never what was being discussed. Its perfectly fine for people to, in addition to thinking about good or bad deals, think about the moral implications of their purchases. At no point did they say or imply that morality was the only or primary basis for a purchase regardless of value proposition.

    Edit: don't assume I'm a fucking gringo, ew

    I'm the one who commented.

    Use your brain.

    spoilerBut let's be real, that's asking too much of you. You're just upset that I dared criticize people for their mindless consumption.

    Keep spending.

    You're zensanto. LadyMeow is LadyMeow. OP, in my context, is LadyMeow, not you. You're just being autistic for no good reason.

    To quote OP:

    There are lots of much better electric cars if that’s what you want

    Or is this too difficult for you to follow?
