Tesla Muzzling Model 3 Buyers
- lithos 9y agoDon't bother if you're on a cellphone. They're super desperate to get you in the app.
- pcr0 9y agoThe paywall is just JavaScript. On Firefox Nightly for Android, reading mode sidestepped the paywall with ease.
- technimad 9y agoSame on iOS safari. Reading mode hides the app nag screen.
- TrickyRick 9y agoHowever there is no way to switch pages, but simply updating the URL with ?page=3 worked.
- gnodar 9y agoEven on desktop. They have a modal pop up when I try to read page 2, requiring me to register. It doesn't even allow me to exit and disables the content behind the modal. Turning off javascript for the site worked, but sheesh.
- ninedays 9y agoI would recommend using Outline : https://outline.com/ https://outline.com/ You can prefix the URL you want to acces with https://outline.com/ https://outline.com/ and it will unclutter the page. There is also a Chrome extension that works well.
- flyinghamster 9y agoI've wanted Tesla to succeed, but I find bullshit like this to be intolerable. Between this, and the impossibility of getting a dead-tree edition of the service manual, there's no way in hell I'm buying one. Cars with restrictive covenants? Give me a f*cking break.
- alex_duf 9y agoAnd the fact they also fired a massive part of their workforce, just because they don't want a union...
- Robotbeat 9y agoI've started to distrust Seeking Alpha on Tesla news. They're an investor-oriented site, so every article (no matter its position) feels like it's designed to move the market one way or another. They have both pro- and anti-Tesla contributors, but lately the biggest attention-getters have been the anti-Tesla contributors. I'd prefer to see this published by actual journalists or some approximation thereof. Tesla has a lot of fans, yes, but they also have a LOT of enemies, and this is the sort of outlet I would imagine they would publish in. Does anyone have a reputable source for this? Also, regarding the content, most of these stipulations seem designed to tamp down speculation and scalping among reservation holders. I mean, that sounds like exactly what they SHOULD be doing. A very uncharitable interpretation of that is what makes me distrust the rest of the article.
- zrth 9y agoDon't bother reading this article, as soon as you get to page two you will hindered from reading on!
- EADGBE 9y ago"This gets really crazy when it comes to enforcement. Not only does Tesla threaten employees [who purchase a car and then resell it less than a year later, or resell it at a higher value than purchased] with disciplinary action up to and including termination, they threaten the future buyer! ... So Tesla is actually threatening to "reduce or disable" a second buyer's purchased car!"
