This is what you get for having an utterly stupid return policy. Complete assholes come in, asshole the place up, and get their balls slurped by management because 'DER COOSTERMUR IS ALWAYS ROIT!!!'

Happy to see these idiots (HD management) get fucked over like this. They all deserve it. Management in these stores is uniformly soulless corporate robots or people so beaten down by mediocrity that they can't be bothered to leave for a company that won't treat them like shit.

61 stores. This is not one dude being a dick. This is systemic failure on HD's part. Fuck 'em.

Also fuck that guy because there's no doubt he was a prick to everyone he encountered.

Because when someone says "COME HERE" they're making the statement that whatever you're doing is pointless shit that can be dropped immediately.

I didn't tolerate that with my parents, and I sure as shit wouldn't tolerate it with a spouse. If you can't be bothered to give me a reason to go there, don't fucking tell me to go there.

"Hey, check this shit out!" - Fine. Implies it's on my own time. "Could you come in here?" - Fine. A request can be denied. "Come here." - I'm not your fucking dog.

When was the last time you read any source code for any software you use on a daily basis?

Do you read and understand the source code for every piece of software you use?

No?

Then STFU.

My nephew's school has been using the same Chromebooks for at least the four years he's been there.

How long do you expect them to last?

It's funny how Linux is only Linux if it benefits Linux nerds but the moment someone points out that Android, Chrome, Steam Deck, anything with telemetry and Linux has telemetry all of a sudden it's not "really Linux" anymore.

It really is Schrodinger's OS.

The spirit is quite clearly that rape and abuse numbers will likely go up slightly anywhere porn is banned.

Nobody said "drastically."

It’s literally 3 people in California

A class action always starts with a handful of plaintiffs. It must be established first that there is grounds for a class action. In other words, you have to demonstrate that this is part of a larger problem. The first step is that small group of people. They file suit, and then it's decided if the case should have class action status. Once the case is given class action status, all people that may have been effected are notified that they may qualify for the class action. In other words, literally 3 people in California are how a class action lawsuit gets started. If you knew anything about the legal process, you would know this.

Teslas are tested to the EPA test cycles, same as every other car in the US. They’ve been audited multiple times, and always passed.

Volkswagen vehicles were tested too. Turns out they had special programming to determine when they were being tested rather than normally driven.

This cost them close to $15 billion.

Ah yes, an unverified report from a single unnamed source with 10-year-old knowledge.

All "sources" are unnamed. Welcome to journalism 101. If they're named, they're not "a source." You just credit them. https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/tesla-batteries-range/ Fucking Deepthroat was a "source" and he took down Nixon. It wasn't until decades later that his actual identity was revealed. When a "source" is coming from someplace like Reuters you assume they're legit until shown otherwise.

Also, learn to read. The actual statement is that Tesla STARTED modifying these numbers about ten years ago, not that their information is ten years old.

If the “investigative” reporter wanted to test this, they could literally just go and find a new Tesla and see what its fully-charged range says. Trivially simple. But it would show the EPA range which goes against their story, so they don’t mention it.

What part of "still uses" do you not understand? Tesla can modify the software of the car on the fly. Were you not aware of that? All they have to do is send an update to change these things. Can't prove it? Well buddy, that's what a lawsuit is for. Now the onus is on Tesla to prove that they aren't doing illegal shit.

I don't know why you have "investigative" in scare quotes other than to show how ignorant you are.

In tech (and Tesla is a tech company) it’s called L1 support.

You have clearly not read anything about this team. It's not there to be first line support. It's there to convince people there aren't any issues with their cars, regardless of whether or not there is something wrong. I suggest you hang around some Tesla forums where people that have actually encountered this Diversion Team post.

They're there solely to keep Muskypants from feeling bad about himself and his shitty product.

But sure, go on blaming people buying Teslas for being "bad with technology" when the average Tesla owner is LITERALLY A FUCKING TECHBRO.

Bootlicking is a bad habit. Drop it like I dropped your mom last Saturday.
