Wait- do you think that Tesla taking back leased cars and selling them as new is less important than adding new features via a software update?
You know that scene in Matilda when her dad shows her all the shady shit he does to sell junk cars, like rewinding the odometers and glueing the bumpers on? This is literally the 21st century version of that.
If you buy a car that doesn't have all the "modern features" you want, that's on you, even if those features can simply be enabled via software. But it's literally fraud to advertise a car as new when it was previously leased out.
Well...
One is a hypothetical that isn't happening...
And one is really happening.
Just like, in general, I tend to care about real things more than something someone made up to make me angry at someone else
But looking around these days, I see more and more people disagreeing with me.
And it's depressing, so I tend to just block people now. Have a nice life tho.
You must have missed this part:
THEY LITERALLY ARE DOING THAT.
Yes, clearly everyone else is wrong.
...
The buyers are new
As in they were not the lease holders.
They are not buying cars that they think are new.
But that's definitely enough, if you want others to help you understand things in the future, my last piece of advice is to be civil when someone tries.
They're taking up their time to help you
