In any sane world that would be a trivial lawsuit to win
replies:
Totally reasonable. I wish every electronic device would brick itself if it heard you talking shit about it. People are too rude to toasters.
replies:
Don’t feel bad for dumbasses who bought Nazi cars.
I'm sure he's REAL motivated to clean up his dis track in order to use a vehicle that was bad enough to warrant a dis track.
replies:
It's like these companies never remember the Streisand effect. I didn't't know who this rapper was before this, but I do now. Gonna go listen to this song too.
replies:
I don't really care if this is real or not, or if the song sucks, or if it's a banger, or if it never existed.
None of that is what's concerning.
The concerning thing for me is that, even if it's fake, everyone just kinda accepting that Tesla can, and would, remotely deactivate a vehicle, when it may be in motion, and may be in a dangerous or otherwise hazardous location where losing control could mean that people die...
And everyone is just like "that's totally something they would do! Lol".... What?
I could give a fuck less if they deactivate his... Idk, heated seat subscription, or autopilot, or (insert stupid feature here). But making it so the vehicle can't drive? For a car you paid money to "own"?
What the actual fuck everyone?
Boycott. That's all that I can say. ... Not that I wasn't already planning on doing that....
replies:
If you hate Teslas that much, why do you own one?
replies:
I accidentally ended on threads.net trying to find lyrics to this song and failed. Didn’t sound like he was dissing the car though. Also, the letter may be fake because the signature doesn’t match LinkedIn.
replies:
Definitely real and not a marketing stunt.
Y'all believe some wild shit.
replies:
Not a Tesla fan, but this smells like manufactured controversy. The person who allegedly signed the letter has never held that position at Tesla, according to their linkedin
