No, you're wrong here. Tldr, its way more expensive to have an unsold vehicle on the lot floor.

So, I understand it's not an independent dealership, but it's a dealership. So, let's assume there is a $50k Tesla on the floor of the dealership, given Tesla's slim margins, it probably cost Tesla somewhere around $45k to manufacture. As with most businesses like this, a significant portion of the vehicle manufacturing costs is done using credit, and settled once the vehicle is sold. So let's assume it's 50% and $22k is from a loan (it's higher, but I don't know what that number is). They pay interest on that loan until they have made enough money from the sale of the vehicle. They pay insurance every month on the vehicle, while it stands there gathering dust. They pay staff, to operate the dealership, with no sales. It's a crisis!

Now, assume someone burns the car. Your insurance pays out for the car, the building repairs, and any (made up) operating losses from not being able to trade. Tesla makes money back, settles the loan, no more interest. Cash liquidity looks better and you can pay staff and operating costs at the dealership. Tesla also gets to tell investors that they "shipped" another Tesla.

Now, you may be thinking, but what about the insurance premiums. Yes, you burned a few cars. Of the thousands that are insured by Tesla. Insurance premiums may go up a dollar or so per car, but this is the power of underwriting risk, is that any single incident which may leave you shit out of luck, actually becomes really manageable by comparison.

Unless the cars aren't insured, in which case it's a crisis.

Also, if the vehicle is discounted to significantly below cost and sold, they stop the cash bleed, but there is a loss, and we can call it community service for being Nazis.

Don't burn dealership (or sales outlets or whatever the fuck they call themselves), don't burn their cars!

Guys, stop burning the dealerships cars. They just get to claim back from their insurance. Leave them there, trapped in their coffins on the dealership floor. Taking up space. make it unprofitable to do business with nazis, so they can't order new stock from Tesla.

Ok, I need to explain this to people, but don't blow up or damage Tesla's at dealerships. Aside from the usual about being socially responsible, the dealers and Tesla loses money when cars can't sell and are stuck on lots. Tesla can't sell a dealership a new car if the dealership can't sell a car and make space for a new one on their lot. But if you blow up or damage the cars, the dealership just claims from their insurance, they get the money as though they just sold a car, and they have lot vacancies, so Tesla can sell the dealership more stock.

Let the swasticars just sit there and depreciate on the dealership floor. That's the real way to fuck em.

Wait, so when it was destroying other people's lives, that was fine, but now that it's your life, you wanna be a bitch?

Let me help you here dear trump voter... Fuck you, you deserve it.

Yeah, I know. It was just a joke

And those who don't pay should be terminated! #pro-life #freedom #patriot #jesus

This is like watching a Windows file explorer dialog box estimate the time to completion for a file transfer.

Dude, you don't know what you're talking about. So as a South African, let me help.

Yes, racially motivated attacks by white people against black people do happen. Yes, racially motivated attacks by black people against white people do happen. We have a very painful history, and some ass hats still either long for the "good old days" or still want retribution.

Farm murders are a symptom of farmers being isolated (far away from help given that they live on a farm), perceived owners of wealth, and sometimes viewed as treating their workers unfairly. Needless to say that when crime does occur (it is not as common as the media makes it out to be, and falls well under the statistical norms in South African context), it tends to be violent.

Crime is a problem that many south Africans face. Not just the white ones, or the farmers. In fact, you are more likely to be raped, robbed, murdered or some combination thereof in a rural or township setting than you are compared to being a farmer. Their workers are often times victims of more crime than they are given the massive poverty stricken nature of many of South Africa's lower class workers.

South Africa has a problem, but it's nothing like the blatant racism in the US. So here's the thing, if you don't know what you're talking about, shut the fuck up.

Like, have him actually read? My man, I don't think he can.
