Despite how rediculous Tesla's repair bill is, when someone comes out with a quote like that, suddenly I find my sympathy draining away.
- culi 3y agowhy does your sympathy for a couple facing a massive bill drain due to an article being written about them containing a silly line
- gustavus 3y agoMostly because it was the couple themselves who said that according to the article.
- wongarsu 3y agoThe line is supposedly a quote from the couple. Or at least this is strongly implied by the article.
- davidw 3y agoPeople are bad at big numbers, episode #29292. They understand the numbers around the repair bill for driving around in the rain very well, though.
- harry8 3y agoYou have to read it in a normal literate fashion taking into account the very common technique of hyperbole to make the point. This kind of thing is much more common in Scotland than some other places and is well understood. Try reading it as: "Elon musk is very rich and can surely very easily afford to make good on this faulty product resulting in what is for us a very, very expensive unexpected bill." Then see how you feel about it.
