This is what happens when you buy a car from a tech company. There is no reason that a Ts&Cs should ever come with a car - but here we are. For now, avoid any company that does things like this. Top of mind are Tesla and BMW
Similarly, if you piss off Ferrari, they’ll ban you from buying another.
Yeah but they won't take away the one you have
Give them a few years. If it's not explicitly illegal every car company will do eventually.
Depends. Some of them require a full Ferrari support crew and can only run at Ferrari-approved tracks.
Yeah we don't really care about the rights a few billionaires may have to play with the toys whose cost could have fed countless families.
My outrage only works up to a... Idk, 300k€ price?
I choose to read this as 300 kiloeuro.
Which would work as intended no? 1 kiloeuro would be 1000 euros ergo 300000 euros. Maybe I'm just dumb and that was the point if so carry on lol
Absolutely. I'm just accustomed to seeing the currency sign on the left and prefix abbreviation on the right (ex. €300k). Generally, it gets "expanded" to thousand, million, etc. So, three-hundred thousand euro. The things that amused me is thinking of a kiloeuro as a measurement unit, rather than a currency unit.
Lol yeah I see that I think what could have made it a step up in amusement is had they expressed the amount in British pounds. It would of seemed like a peak British moment of mixing imperial units with metric units and seeing a kilo pound would have just sent me rolling XD
This guy metrics.
Calling it buying is the problem. It is proprietary internet connected garbage. It is a rental you paid buyer money for. No one owns a Tesla. No Tesla is for sale, and neither is any car that runs proprietary internet connect software. Someone else ultimately controls it. That person is the real owner. Primitive idiots struggle to understand this exceptionally simple concept. Terms and conditions are you selling your rights as a citizen willing to become a slave to someone else. It isn't normal. It exists because people are not smart enough to say no and stand up for themselves. I don't rent one of these shit cars, or watch TV with terms and conditions, or run shitty operating systems, or stalkerware removed myself to bezos' camera on the front of my home as a doorbell. None of this is actually normal. It's fools selling their rights as citizens in a democracy for peanuts and IOUs.
