    No fan of Musk, but this kind of shit and other scams are driving me towards companies like Tesla that are using a direct sale model.

    Subaru dealers lied to me about the engine I was getting, said the head gasket issue was fixed. Turns out it was fixed, just not for the model of engine that was in the specific car they were selling me.

    Then a different dealer did the head gasket job, thousands of dollars, and now they’re telling me it needs to be done again four years later for another 5k.

    A local Chevy dealer was screwing over their employees with wage theft by agreeing to give raises and then quietly taking them away later.

    Fuck them all to hell, small business my ass. If you have to spend millions lobbying your state government to make direct sales illegal, I’m going to do everything I can to avoid giving you my money.
