This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

And there’s one of the major problems; using the stealership model. Buying from Tesla or Rivian or Slate is/will be a breeze because it’s all online. No haggling with a stack of shit in a suit about cost or going somewhere to be told “we don’t sell the EV models here”.
Bitch, you’re a dealership. You sell cars.
Tesla's sales are in the dumps too. Last I checked they were down 9%. Rivian's sales were down to something like a 3 year low as of the beginning of this year. The fact is, the vehicles cost too much for the average American.
