You are right, but there probably is a “safe” number of Teslas that can burn, before insurance companies drop Tesla (or increase insurance prices to make it unprofitable).
Insurance frauds, if not caught, tend to be profitable.
Edit: I just want to add that I do not have any personal experience with insurance frauds… It’s just my little conspiracy theory… I won’t respond anymore, must go and make my first tinfoil cap.
I don’t know what insurance rules look like when you are a billion dollar business, but I would assume they have a much better negotiating position.
I’m not saying that the renewal cost won’t go up, but I assume it won’t go up as fast and as steep as it would for us poor people.
I mean Tesla. Just imagine, you have a lot of unsold cars and no hope that people will rush to buy them. If you lower the price, you will admit to shareholders that it’s not going well and maybe your company is not worth more than the next eight biggest car manufacturers combined… So you can’t lower the price, at least not enough to sell all those cars, they all take space, need some maintenance, slowly rust and lose value… Or they can just burn, and you can claim that it was all because of those far left terr… Right, someone mentioned that insurance doesn’t cover terrorism, so it’s all because of those damn leftist hooligans. You would probably sold all of them, but they were destroyed. Pinky promise.
Ok, let’s negotiate. How about this: I’ll buy one Big Mac, and in return US will buy 3000 Volkswagens, 1500 Mercedes(es?!?) and at least 3 French or Italian cars…
That way the US ends up with good cars, and I am willing to risk my own health in order to improve the relations.
The whole internet seems happy about the “people” burning Teslas in protest. I am pretty sure they were all insured and given the terrible sales figures… please guess who is benefitting the most of that burning?
It shouldn’t be sold. Just a fun gadget. You aim, shoot. The missile comes out one minute later, then flies so slowly, that you can actually run past it. But when… if… it hits something it is devastating… Sometimes.
The poster is wrong! Tesla never delivered the full self driving. Only the full self ruling.
Why is that embarrassing? Trump offers trade war, EUs counterproposal is tread deal. Much better to all involved… and also Trump most likely won’t agree.
Not having access to Adobe products is a feature not a bug.
Yes, those are for rich people. Law doesn’t apply to rich people in the US
I was today’s years old (and that is a lot) when I found out Usenet is still alive and can be used to get… Hmmm… Entertainment. Where should I start if I want to get rid of Netflix?
But that would raise entitled communist brats, who think that grown ups will just feed them for free… Like… Who do you think is going to work at McDonald’s or in mines after they deport all immigrants?!? Kids need to stay hungry to be more motivated to work /S
We want Greenland. We think you are all worthless freeloaders. We wish to kill your businesses with tariffs because you dared to sell us things (and we don’t care how bad that will be for our people. My voters are too stupid and brainwashed to care and the opposition doesn’t matter)… Also buy our weapons!
My guess is that Tesla managers decided it’s better to cash out the insurance money instead of storing the (swasti)cars that almost nobody will buy. And you can always blame the anti Musk “terrorists”.
I thought about migrating my personal code out of GitHub, so it will not be used to train AI that will later take my job… But then I thought about the quality of my personal projects and laughed while pushing to GitHub.
My advantage over AI is that I can recognise a shitty code… I just don’t have time to do it better.
Apparently free speech absolutist means “absolutely no free speech” according to fElon.
Throw tons of moneyz at even the most redundant stupid shit and eventually everyone uses it
Do you bing a lot?

Ok, coming up next: Thunderfoot (youtuber vocally attacking Musk before it was cool) and several other anti Trump and anti Musk youtubers banned on YouTube. Bernie Sanders and AoC disappear from the Google results… Case is mysteriously dismissed.
It is so weird that Poland, who does not have own motor company, voted to protect European auto makers, and Germany that IS the European car industry voted against. Make it make sense.
