Tesla does not and has never had “lifetime subscriptions”. They have a single connectivity subscription (they still have basic connectivity for free for all cars that allows you to monitor and control the vehicle,as well as navigation). Any other upgrades are behind 1-time payments (or your choice of either).

ICE vehicles have been the same for a long time, only they lock the horsepower upgrades behind upgrade packages/trims.

Just because THE TECHNOLOGY IS NOT PERFECT does not mean it is NOT DOING WHAT IT’S intended to do. Sorry I’m having trouble controlling THE VOLUME OF MY VOICE.

There’s literally nothing wrong with the technology. The problem is the application.

I’m not sure how you can make the points you make, and still call it a “generally brilliant solution”

Because the technology itself is not the problem, it’s the application. Not complicated.

Companies have been fucking consumers since the beginning of time and consumers, time and time again, bend over and ask for more. Just look at all of the most successful companies in the world and ask yourself, are they constantly trying to deliver the most amazing service possible for their customers or are they trying to find new ways to fuck them at every available opportunity?

I think it’s generally a brilliant solution but there are a couple of problems here:

1. The scanner seems to flag fucking everything and charge for minor damage where a human would probably flag it as wear.
2. No one is allowed to correct the scanner:

Perturbed by the apparent mistake, the user tried to speak to employees and managers at the Hertz counter, but none were able to help, and all “pointed fingers at the ‘AI scanner.’” They were told to contact customer support — but even that proved futile after representatives claimed they “can’t do anything.”

Sounds to me like they’re just trying to replace those employees. That’s why they won’t let them interfere.

What do you think that phrase means? The gov just let’s people do whatever they want?

Thank you

Fuck you too buddy

I am not the arbiter of what is/isn’t wrong

That’s what you’re doing though

The only difference is what you consider to be “wrong” or “just”.

The point I’m trying to make is that everyone is wearing a mask for the same reason: to prevent retribution for their beliefs and according actions.

They don’t “know what they’re doing is wrong”, they just know that other people think that and will target them for it, which is the exact same reason protestors wear them.

Protestors or vandals and rioters?

Yes.

The former: to prevent government persecution and unfair retaliation.

Why would they face persecution if they did nothing wrong!?

They know what they’re doing is wrong

Is that why the protestors wear them too?
