  • Let's start here, fuck you.

    Then, let's move on to this, someone can be a cunt, and you can call them a cont for being one, but if your first response is to reference their race by calling them a racial slur, then your not as angry about them being a cunt as you are about their race. And that's the problem.

    I don't know what race you are, but your opinion is shit. Not "your white/black/Indian/Chinese/Mexican/etc opinion is shit", it's just you and your opinion that's shit. See how it's supposed to work?

  • So the way I understand this to work, it's 100% safe from the type of attack you're describing.

    You are clicking the link (asking the advertiser for the data) but then never actually fetching it.

    So you can never get the malicious payload to be infected.

  • No, you're wrong here. Tldr, its way more expensive to have an unsold vehicle on the lot floor.

    So, I understand it's not an independent dealership, but it's a dealership. So, let's assume there is a $50k Tesla on the floor of the dealership, given Tesla's slim margins, it probably cost Tesla somewhere around $45k to manufacture. As with most businesses like this, a significant portion of the vehicle manufacturing costs is done using credit, and settled once the vehicle is sold. So let's assume it's 50% and $22k is from a loan (it's higher, but I don't know what that number is). They pay interest on that loan until they have made enough money from the sale of the vehicle. They pay insurance every month on the vehicle, while it stands there gathering dust. They pay staff, to operate the dealership, with no sales. It's a crisis!

    Now, assume someone burns the car. Your insurance pays out for the car, the building repairs, and any (made up) operating losses from not being able to trade. Tesla makes money back, settles the loan, no more interest. Cash liquidity looks better and you can pay staff and operating costs at the dealership. Tesla also gets to tell investors that they "shipped" another Tesla.

    Now, you may be thinking, but what about the insurance premiums. Yes, you burned a few cars. Of the thousands that are insured by Tesla. Insurance premiums may go up a dollar or so per car, but this is the power of underwriting risk, is that any single incident which may leave you shit out of luck, actually becomes really manageable by comparison.

    Unless the cars aren't insured, in which case it's a crisis.

    Also, if the vehicle is discounted to significantly below cost and sold, they stop the cash bleed, but there is a loss, and we can call it community service for being Nazis.

    Don't burn dealership (or sales outlets or whatever the fuck they call themselves), don't burn their cars!

  • Ok, I need to explain this to people, but don't blow up or damage Tesla's at dealerships. Aside from the usual about being socially responsible, the dealers and Tesla loses money when cars can't sell and are stuck on lots. Tesla can't sell a dealership a new car if the dealership can't sell a car and make space for a new one on their lot. But if you blow up or damage the cars, the dealership just claims from their insurance, they get the money as though they just sold a car, and they have lot vacancies, so Tesla can sell the dealership more stock.

    Let the swasticars just sit there and depreciate on the dealership floor. That's the real way to fuck em.

  • If you have a Dremel, grind a slot into it and unscrew it.

    If it has a hard backing, you can place a flat head screwdriver on it, give it a few taps, apply loads of pressure and turn it out.

    If none of these are possible, a drop of CA adhesive on the screwdriver head, push it against the screw, make sure there is no excess leakage, then use a quick set spray. Once the screw has been turned out, use acetone to remove the glue.

    If all of this fails, you gotta drill it. A hand crank drill, and a left handed bit. People seldom have these, so I assume this is your last resort.

    Final bit of advice, hit the screw head a couple of times before you try any of these as it loosens the screw a tad. Also, sharpen an old screwdriver tip to just the width and thickness of what is left of the screw head slots. You should be able to find one that is already this size in those screwdriver tip sets

    Good luck.

  • I actually think this is a great idea. Hear me out.

    They fit the hardware that you can't touch while the Motor plan is active, but when the right to repair legislation kicks in, and we start debating whether we actually own the cars we buy, all these scumbag practices will mean that any car outside of the Motorplan should be able to run cracked OS's and everyone gets free BMW features on their cars after motorplan expires.

    I vote they keep going for a bit, then they get their asses handed to them with out of maintenance plan service options and 3rd party features.

  • I get the security issues, sure, those are valid, but the privacy ones are even worse. Imagine a teenager trying to search information on being gay, or possible intrusive thoughts on their family computer, only for their super maga right wing parent to find it in the screenshots.

    Or someone being abused at home and searching for support facilities, deleting history and being outed by recall.

    Wait, how about credit card fraud as a result of EVERYONE who has access to this computer can read your cc data?

    Or, my husband was looking at jewelry online yesterday and he hasn't told me, he must be cheating, right? Oh sorry, I forgot, our anniversary is next week... Hahahaha, don't be upset babe.

    Best one ever though, imagine your search history, your porn watch history accessible to anyone with access to your computer? The fucking horrific existence of having an employer process this data at scale using fancy staff monitoring program 7, and run stats on the fact that you had a toilet break while working from home, and they want to know if it was a number 1, or a number 2 so they can work a mean time to shit metric into your KPA/scorecard.

    Guys, whatever benefit you think this is. It's not worth it.
