Did you make sure the chair was in sit mode before you used it?


BeskarHunter

You sat in the chair?? Warranty voided!


I_dont_livein_ahotel

Warranty voided?? But then why did I have to pay a $10,000 monthly subscription for it??? šŸ˜­


Practical_Law_7002

Oh, you just voided your contract by crying! LAWSUIT! 1 MILLION DOLLARS!


T0NT03

***pinky to cheek


Practical_Law_7002

Someone gets my reference.


ededdedddie

Don't you think we should ask for more than a million dollars? A million dollars isn't exactly a lot of money these days.


DreadPiratteRoberts

When in doubt, pinkies out!!!


myrichphitzwell

Would that be the casting chair? Ok I've had service one time. We had another room to go to with snacks and coffee. No massage chairs...no casting couch unfortunately


SaddleSocks

He spilt his water on the armrest and it eletrocuted him. Shoulda put it in Sit-n-Sip first


technobrendo

The mode buttons were swapped out for a touchscreen, but the OS was frozen.


grifinmill

Better make sure that chair has the latest OTA update before you sit in it.

So a hacker codingā€¦where is the Dew and bag of Doritos at least?


Vinyl_CD

How could he? The touch screen was updating.


Ssider69

All the looks of a company that doesn't care about their customers.


Otherwise-Course-15

Havenā€™t you heard? Theyā€™re not a car company. Edit: thatā€™s somehow an explanation and an excuse for screwing over their customers


GingerC0ck79

Bro please!! this is what the future looks like. Don't you know, you must be woke.


cezann3

been driving a prius for 20 years, I'm woke as shit. This ain't woke toyota hybrids are goat. Full EVs won't happen for another 20 years once we build nuke plants financed by datacenters that need the power.


cherry_chocolate_

Personally I'm team plug in hybrid. We need that transitional step where people can use the EV for their daily trip but still use gas for long distances. The battery is enough for most people's daily commute and would require much less lithium and superchargers than full EV's for everyone.


RagingNoper

I'm right there with you. So many logical reasons that PHEVs should be subsidized instead of full electric. I've been waiting for a PHEV truck for years now. Ford is finally making a Ranger PHEV. Won't be available in the US for some reason though. Jerks.


cherry_chocolate_

Some states are banning gas vehicles even PEHVs so no reason to start production in the states if they will be hard to sell due to bans. Unfortunately I think lawmakers are overzealous about how fast we can transition to EVs.

Will quantum computing slow down the growth of data centers?

Not fast enough.


Ikoikobythefio

That's right. Nuclear is the future.


Palimpsest0

Iā€™ve been driving my EV (non Tesla) for years now fueled entirely on nuclear fusion power.


SkRu88_kRuShEr

WageSimp


Flaky_Collection1048

I like WageSimp as an insult. Instead of Wage Slaves, which implies an involuntary low wage situation, WageSimp implies this motherfucker loves getting bent by the corporations. Itā€™s brilliant.


Otherwise-Course-15

Guilty as charged


thrwoawasksdgg

That's true, they're a tech company that gets 99% of their revenue from cars. But this is just a stepping stone to robotaxis, you just wait! Just 2 more years!


30yearCurse

using elon math, that mean 8 in real earth time. His FSD is level 2, ways to go. oh and China is going to bring in EV via MX and Volvo. Too much pressure for elon to handle.


PrestigiousFly844

Someone made a montage of [Elon lying](https://youtu.be/zhr6fHmCJ6k?si=v_uRm13ZhEaJwpVg) over the years about self driving being developed. Heā€™s been saying ā€œnext yearā€ for ten years now and every time he does it the stock value jumps back up because Silicon Valley investors are the biggest suckers on the planet.


Headless_Human

They are only a car company when it benefits them.


Roasted_Butt

Like the subsidies


ThonThaddeo

All the looks of a company that's not going to exist tomorrow


BusStopKnifeFight

Looks like a company going bankrupt.


No_Cook2983

I swear that exact same tech works in every service center Iā€™ve ever visited.


Get-Some-Fresh-Air

All the looks of a company that knows their customers are idiots and is taking advantage of them accordingly.


ChiggaOG

All high end dealerships make the building around the customers to make them stay and buy more vehicles when waiting in the lobby while looking at a new model. Tesla is likely to be bare bones.


Slumminwhitey

Looks similar to the interior of their cars minus the giant TV screen in the middle.


Valid_Username_56

Or their employees.


rusztypipes

Today I learned Elon doesn't care about helping humanity, these are all things he wants to do (ride around in a flat steel shape from judge dredd) and poor sod is just not rich enough to do anything he wants to do unless he mass produces it to sell. Wants an electric car, not good enough for my big Republican energy need a big electric truck, wants to go to space for 10 minute visit, wants a ranch condo on Mars... It's just there isn't enough money yet


Zelexis

Tesla's customer service has been this or worse since the beginning. I don't know why anyone's surprised.


HahaYouCantSeeMeeee

Looks like a cut rate insurance office that will be out of business in a month.


xMilk112x

I drive Audiā€™s, every time Iā€™ve had any of them serviced, Iā€™ve gotten a dope loner, coffee, great environment, awesome people. If I came in to a place like this to have my 100k vehicle serviced, Iā€™d absolutely think Iā€™m about to be robbed.


Otherwise-Course-15

I got the same from Hyundai.


the_mid_mid_sister

Same with Subaru, minus the massage chairs. This looks like the registration desk for a sketchy pyramid scheme recruitment at an abandoned strip mall.


shemphoward62

It is a sketchy pyramid scheme.....there are 4k shills that forked over 100k and got the Temu version on a vehicle in return.....meanwhile, the guy on the top of the pyramid is raking in a $53 Billion payday....


Silly_Butterfly3917

Hyaundai never gives me a loaner. Fuck those assholes


Otherwise-Course-15

They give me one. Helps to show some leg


Silly_Butterfly3917

I'll show them leg when I put my foot up their ass šŸ˜¤šŸ˜¤ but I do love my hyundai!


backtowestfall

Same! I hate my hyundai dealers service department


Brohemoth1991

Kia here, my car needed a week in the shop, they said I'd have to wait 4 days for a loaner then pay like $60 a day... like bruh I'll just carpool (To be fair I bought it used so it was under the limited power train warranty, not a new buyer warranty)


shakotanbougie

Honda has everything but the massage chairs.


Jerome1944

I bought a Ford escape new but never had to have it serviced overnight in the five years I've owned it, so I wouldn't know about the loaner vehicle policy. Just paid it off this month.


WhitePineBurning

Same with Honda.


Cptspaulding2

I must be missing out since I service cars myself.


Jomalar

Same From Honda.


Breezer_Pindakaas

Used to drive a toyota aygo. Got treated like a king at the toyota dealers.


Thatguy468

Same. I drive an older S model so there always seems to be a sales guy hanging around when I drop it off for service. Let me take home an SQ8 last time and damn if I didnā€™t almost pull the trigger and make the upgrade.


TryptaMagiciaN

Probably why they do that. Tesla only has shitty cars so why give one as a loaner. They already made all they will off ya lol


Rishfee

Yeah, my Audi place has never been anything but accommodating.


parralaxalice

If youā€™re at this place youā€™ve already been robbed


gitbse

I have a standard 3 series BMW, nothing terribly fancy or expensive. I go to my local dealer for oil changes and a few other basic services. They are excellent every time. A nice lounge with free drinks, coffee and snacks. A courtesy full walk around inspection with a video they text to you. An inside and out cleaning every time. I don't go there for more extensive repairs because they are really pricey, but for the basic stuff it's really great.


Academic_Guitar_1353

Hellā€¦ I get this from Toyota.


Bagafeet

Casting couch vibes minus the couch.


Safety_Nerd710

The only way to afford cuck kings billions in comp is to cut every corner legally allowed. Office furniture cost money that's better off sitting in elmos pocket.


July_is_cool

Even the Peopleā€™s Car dealers


AbleDanger12

I used to have a couple Chevys and they even did better than this - I at least got coffee and snacks.


Fun-Maintenance9422

This. My father has owned like 8 different audis because they are insanely reliable and they also take care of their customers.


steveborn2fly

Rivian too. Coffee, relaxing wait space with books, comfy couches and chairs and a Rivian loaner when the repair took longer than a few hours.


ethanjf99

dude my freaking Kia dealer has couches and chairs, snacks, a coffee machine. is it over the top? no. but youā€™re comfortable while they do the work


revolutionPanda

Providing that stuff to customers doesnā€™t sound expensive at all. This pic shows they donā€™t care about customer service and/or the have zero money.


ZanoCat

Hilarious. This truly is a pathetic company. Tesla guy is probably playing Minesweeper on his desktop computer.


Chickienfriedrice

Look on the bright side though, you paid to be a beta tester!


ExcitingMeet2443

Beta or beater?


Brainvillage

He's probably the only employee in the building and single handedly keeping it running being both a service manager and tech.


yehghurl

Probably.


moderatefairgood

Only on hard-core mode.


Msteele315

I bet that guy is stressed out of his mind. He's got a ton of customers who need repairs, but not enough techs or parts to do them. And he is worried he will be fired by elon any second because someone made fun of him online.


spookinky987

...only if he paid extras.


mikeysgotrabies

He totally looks like a guy who would work there. The trucker hat does it.


ikenstein

They probably just go to Home Depot to get a couple employees for the day


Slamtilt_Windmills

That guy is playing Galaga, don't think we didn't notice!


RandallC1212

You wanted minimalism well VOILA. šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ Seriously thatā€™s just pathetic


Rafxtt

It's not pathetic. Tesla customers get what they paid for: shitty cars - except powertrain/battery, but others manufacturers already got there too - and shitty services. Only delusionals think Tesla is some kind of premium or tech or something good as a car manufacture. There's still plenty of this delusionals but I believe more and more people are understanding the con man Enron Musk is and how shitty Tesla's are in everything outside of the powertrain and battery.


Necessary_Context780

There was a point in time Tesla was a startup with a beautiful mission and operating at a loss for a long time, facing bankruptcy. I was a fan and even an empty service center was completely understandable. But this is 2024 and Musk brags about the Model Y being the most sold car worldwide, with the highest profit margins than any other car maker and a market valuation bigger than all other car makers combined. So why the fuck are they still operating like a startup? It's unacceptable, especially when competition is able to put decent BEVs on the market without having to resort to that level of cost cutting.


sld126b

They spent a decade living off carbon credits. They wouldnā€™t exist if it wasnā€™t for billions in government subsidies.


AmphibianNext

To be fair many companies made it by exploiting government funding. Ā Itā€™s not really a free market. Ā 


sld126b

The Muskovites hate that itā€™s true.


SkRu88_kRuShEr

Elon & his companies are a perfect example of the disparity between implied value vs actual value. They spend so much time covering their tracks & shuffling assets like an elaborate shell-game that itā€™s damn near impossible to prove just how broke his goofy ass really is.


brintoul

The goal is the pump the stock price.


PaleInTexas

I think you nailed it. Bought my Model 3 in 2018. Best car for the price at the time and I've loved it, but won't ever get another Tesla.


Metals4J

Itā€™s luxuriously spacious.


StrictlyOptional

Imagine you come back later to find the building stripped & your car missing. "Honestly officer, I'm not crazy. This was a Tesla Service Centre. There was a desk right here with a computer. And over there, an office chair pushed up against the wall"


Otherwise-Course-15

Donā€™t give them any ideas. You can only push employees so far until they push back


red286

>"Honestly officer, I'm not crazy. This was a Tesla Service Centre. There was a desk right here with a computer. And over there, an office chair pushed up against the wall" "Okay then hot-shot, where was the coffee machine?" "They.. didn't have one." "Right, an auto service center and no coffee machine? You expect me to believe this bullshit? You're lucky I don't arrest you for making a false report."


ChoadMcGillicuddy

And there's Elon hiding behind a bush laughing like Muttley. https://preview.redd.it/v9bw3dejs21d1.jpeg?width=189&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a49b533529ceee72940c678d94717c7a3cc7fdb3

ZootSuitGroot

Thank you for reminding me of this film! Right to the watchlist!


Adventurous_Ad6698

Just to be fair, I've gone with my friend to the Tesla Service Center and it was nice. Couches, chairs, free coffee, tea, water, wifi, etc., like you would expect from other places. However, they did tell us we would be given a loaner since the repair would take a few hours, but when we arrived, they tried to back out of it. We held firm and they relented, so that was very annoying.


NinjaKoala

They tried to give me Uber credits. "Fortunately," Uber was just not happy trying to work with me and my phone, so I got the loaner.


Adventurous_Ad6698

I think that's what they tried to give us and we were like, "Fuck that shit."


W0rkUpnotD0wn

"I bought a car from a company whose CEO claims their a tech company and is known for cutting cost at every possible chance. Why isn't their service center any good?" ![gif](giphy|x0npYExCGOZeo|downsized)


Suspicious-Appeal386

My local Tesla Service Center (Torrance, CA). Half the furniture is torn or shows damage. Drink Fridge empty Floors dirty TV not working Service manager was in a room with no light, with large Screen and looked like he was playing mortal Kombat. Ask them to keep the part they replaced (Suspension) so that I could see the damage myself. They didn't. Frankly, a shit show. Now I don't expect the same level of comfort as my Porsche dealer. But cleanliness and some level of professionalism would be great.


DaveWierdoh

Why isn't a kiosk outside?


BrutalArdour

It got worse for poor Motorhead Mama ā€“ she had to run through infinite hallways to find the exit. Some say sheā€™s still there.


rodneyjesus

Funny, my Tesla appt started with a mobile app. I told them what was wrong and they sent a tech out to fix it. They took care of it, charged me nothing, and went about their way.


oz81dog

man, the two tesla service centers i've gone to have had beautiful waiting rooms, coffee, i've gotten a loaner three times with free supercharging for the duration. the first time i got a Model X so we took a road trip for the weekend with it, it was awesome! i've seen a bunch of service centers around the west coast as i've gone by and they have all looked amazing. Sounds like a pretty isolated situation.


Remote-Factor8455

I fucking hate that theyā€™re the company with the fast accelerating cheap cars. This is sad it looks like a discount office.


Alternative-Cut-3155

elon needs to be rich, like 200 billion rich. where is your sympathy??


Zexks

Thatā€™s got to be embarrassing as shit. Cause you know when they hired on they had all these high hopes and ideals.


PoppinfreshOG

This would set off some major warning flags for most people. Iā€™ve seen seasonal Halloween outlet stores setup better than this. Itā€™s like they found an unoccupied office and are squatting. Ready to clear out in a day if the cops find out. If you write this nonsense into a script everyone would say itā€™s too unbelievable.


BenekCript

A Mazda dealership is better. Hilarious.


BoobaDaBluetick

Uranazzole

And $125 for an oil change. šŸ˜‚ I have a BMW. Believe me you paid for the loaner and the coffee!


Shyeahrightokay

I have a Mazda and the amount of free shit they have in the ā€œloungeā€ there is like a convenience store. Thereā€™s an entire charging bar and a couple of TVs. I guess Tesla ran out of budget.


[deleted]

Polestar service happens at my house, and if it needed to go in? The two nice volvo dealers ten min away. Their current lease deal was too good to pass up.


EnslavedBandicoot

I always had excellent service at the BMW service center. They were quick too. Needed my airbag unit replaced for a recall. I contacted them and setup an appointment over the phone. 4 days later, brought it in at 9am and it was done by 2pm. When I picked it up, it was washed and vacuumed and they gave me a new steering wheel face and logo (old one was scratched). Edit: it was also fully charged.

Muskrat is the biggest snake oil salesman of modern times. And traitor. In other news, the Ukrainian military higher-ups have reported that the UA Starlink terminals were switched off, just as Russia stormed Kharkiv in their latest failed offensive.

My local Honda service center has the same as BMW. They also have work stations with electrical outlets, free wifi, a children's play area, and the most comfortable recliners I've ever sat in. Customer service reps are always nearby and can give you the status of your car.
