This is a Hacker News -> Reddit/r/RealTesla post.
Good to see the “original” RealTesla getting such large attention. Over on the Reddit, there’s over 3000+ upvotes, while most of the discussion on Hacker News is supportive of the story.
While Hacker News has [flagged] the story (thereby removing it from the frontpage), it shows that even in the high-tech industry / San Francisco venture capitalism tech-discussion site, Elon Musk’s reputation has really nosedived this year.
Have to draw legal lines as to the extent of harm traceable to each step in the events, and the extent of such harm which could have been avoided by each party’s own acts or omissions.
“But for” cause by itself is useless, cuts the wrong way as much as it does the right: but for the owner’s decision to buy a Tesla, none of this would have happened. You can go back and back with such naked reasoning.
This argument is nonsensical. The owner paid Tesla with a cashiers check, which is the checking equivalent of paying them in cash. He no longer possessed the cash, nor was there any way for him to recover the cash as soon as his bank generated that check. Tesla’s negligence with the payment caused literally the entire problem here.
There is zero chance that literally any court on the planet would even spend time hearing any such case. Not responding to emails that were obviously incorrect isn’t his problem, it’s Tesla’s problem. Not giving them a phone number isn’t his problem, because HE DIDN’T DO ANYTHING WRONG.
I have no idea why you’re bending over backwards to allot any blame to the person that paid for a car in a manner Tesla requests. Tesla has a long, LONG history of fucking up payments for vehicles, insurance, and literally anything else you pay them for. There’s thousands of people that have complained about this shit, and Tesla has done nothing to fix the problem. Obviously. The buyer deserves to have their expenses reimbursed if they have any. You can simp for a corporation all you want, but nobody here’s going to give you any leeway. Tesla was in the wrong, they caused the entire issue. Anybody arguing anything else is either intentionally lying for Tesla, or a fool.
Nah I don’t give a shit about Tesla.
There is a duty to mitigate damages though, and Tesla would be heard on the issue in court. Shows what you know to say otherwise.
Such a case would never make it to court. lmao
Shows what you know.
Elon isn’t going to notice you here.
No shit. I deleted my Twitter account and stopped advertising on the platform the day they announced his purchase was going to go through. I wouldn’t want that creepy apartheid loving bitch to notice me anywhere.
