🚔 HUGE #Tesla SERVICE PROBLEMS THREAD🚔

You might remember my 3 prior threads on how
TESLA. TREATS. ITS. CUSTOMERS. LIKE. TRASH.

Here's the 4th installment.
@tomkeinan @jonsey_lisa @jwmooc @tchanpoker @bryanthediamond @EconomicManBlog

 Welcome to Greta's 4th edition of #Tesla customers getting used and abused. Because that's the Elon Musk way.
@coffeebreakls @KocgibiHarun @omaragha @JayGhahari

"The best service is no service." - Elon Musk a.k.a. #SpaceKaren
@briansaziz @FarSha998899 @thinktankfour @Billoday1
#Tesla $TSLA $TSLAQ 3/22
These #Tesla customers represent just the very tip of the iceberg. They are ones who have Twitter, have decided to complain about their #TeslaServiceIssues publicly, and were found by yours truly.
@yanismydj @hajelatweets @AlanHeldman @francislongo5 $TSLA $TSLAQ 4/22
Dear #Tesla customers: In California, if your vehicle has been out of service for >30 days total, it's a lemon. You can get punitive damages and attorney's fees. Don't sit around and take Elon's abuse. @13arm13arm @cecimar12 @richardson_skip @shootinglee $TSLA $TSLAQ 5/22
Is this "FUD"? I didn't make any of these customers complain. #Tesla and #SpaceKaren did.
@scorpionstriker @nd3423 @rammler31 @twit0007 $TSLA $TSLAQ 6/22
"1 year later, still being fobbed off."

"The worst thing is, I adore #Tesla, in love with the brand, the cars, everything about the mission... I've even referred 21 people in the past year."

I feel bad for the other customers in this thread. Except this guy.
$TSLA $TSLAQ 7/22
Dr. Earl Banning, Kristen Yamamoto, Kim Paquette, Bonnie Norman, Omar Qazi, Vivien Hantusch, Chao Zhou, Alex Voigt, Sean Mitchell, Sofiaan Fraval, Ben Sullins, Gali Russell & Ross Gerber.

None of these #Tesla cultists will help these customers. #SpaceKaren $TSLA $TSLAQ 8/22
Still waiting for "reporters" Simon Alvarez, Fred Lambert, Johnna Crider, Vincent Yu, Maria Merano, Evelyn Arevalo, Eva Fox, Matt Pressman, Tom Randall and Tim Higgins to write a story on #TeslaServiceIssues.

Nah. Let's write about a tunnel rendering instead. $TSLA $TSLAQ 9/22
"I am having a problem with #Tesla not paying off my trade in of my Tesla Model 3. Today is the cutoff date for the payoff otherwise the interest will accrue further."
@tamterror @shaohuayahoo @akshu_says @genyosai
$TSLA $TSLAQ 10/22
Hey Sawyer Merritt, Jessica Meckmann, Tilman Winkler, Sean Mitchell, Eli Burton, Warren Redlich, Mayur Thaker,
David Tayar & Gary Black, when you stock pumpers get a chance, maybe you can help real #Tesla customers?
@jamielbridgers @Cars_are_fun @brandstefan
$TSLA $TSLAQ 11/22
Here's something interesting, maybe Fred Lambert will get right on it: #TESLA IS STILL SCREWING PAYING CUSTOMERS OVER FAILING MCUs
$TSLA $TSLAQ 12/22
🚨 "As I approach my 4th year in my #Tesla, I contemplate what is more useless... the ever-malfunctioning $80K whoopee cushion on wheels they named the Model X or the miserable customer service. Other than that I love it." @djedmcdonald @sshenoy76 @walkingdisabled @mlap1 13/22
Oh boy, we are a long ways away from being done. Just imagine how many other #Tesla customers there are screaming into the void. @darrensc0tt @jeffbodeau @bholdmph @mmichaels $TSLA $TSLAQ 14/22
Hey @ValueAnalyst1, you've got a big bullhorn, do these #TeslaServiceIssues concern you even a little? Or are you back to stonk price bro?
@will_walsh @michael60702066 @jonskatz @BrunoFracassa $TSLA $TSLAQ #Tesla 15/22
More and more and more customers are getting completely fed up. Thankfully, customers also have the Niro, Ioniq, Taycan, I-PACE, Leaf, ID.3/4, Mach-E, and many Chinese EVs to choose from.
@dadsoutrunning @JackSonmez77 @IrvRodriguez_ @ChrisHubert80 $TSLA $TSLAQ 16/22
Go ahead, #Tesla cultists. Accuse these customers of "spreading FUD". I dare you.
@plugincarguy @dallals @bkane720 @codingmark
#Hypocrites #TeslaServiceIssues $TSLA $TSLAQ 17/22
Look at the timestamps on each of these #Tesla customers' tweets. These are all new, all recent since my last thread. This is not "FUD". This is an ongoing, worsening, and irredeemable crisis.
@jeuno @raffaeru @sasikanaparthy @mbentz99 $TSLA $TSLAQ 18/22
Remember how Omar Qazi tried to take down this account? Or how #SpaceKaren's trolls engaged in a concerted effort to suspend this account? The truth is right here, and they don't want it to get out. @lisastockwell @mcrown33 @TechPreacher @WeberMarty $TSLA $TSLAQ 19/22
"Tesla Service is ridiculous. Only care about Q4 delivery and stock price." Well said, @niravp44
@neveratrueword @go_go_electric @drmarkevin $TSLA $TSLAQ 20/22
Tent made garbage. Trash quality service. That's the #Tesla way. #TeslaServiceIssues
@MrNYC @davidcwg @bmwm32008 @aamorosojr6 $TSLA $TSLAQ 21/22
Not even #Tesla tequila customers have been spared from the harm. Hey @PwC, what's the tally for how much Elon's going to make from ignoring these customers?

I will never stop. Because Elon never stops screwing people over.

Here’s a SPAC thread covering some basics for new followers. I will pin this to my profile if you want to share to anyone interested in SPACs.

SPAC timelines consist of these stages:
IPO – SPAC raises cash and begins trading as a unit. The cash is placed in Trust.
Searching phase – After IPO, the SPAC management team looks for a company to merge with. This is typically 24 months but can be shorter depending on the SPAC

LOI/Rumor – A letter of intent is announced publicly or Bloomberg/Reuters etc. breaks news of a rumor that a SPAC is close to a deal with a target.

The LOI/rumor stage does not always happen, most go straight to a definitive agreement. Rumors should only be considered to have value if from a trusted news source, internet rumblings are pure speculation. During this stage, a deal can still fall apart and not be signed.

Definitive agreement (DA) – deal officially inked. The SPAC begins filing paperwork with the SEC to have the merger approved to take the target company public. This process typically takes 4+ months after the DA is announced.

The YouTube algorithm that I helped build in 2011 still recommends the flat earth theory by the *hundreds of millions*. This investigation by @RawStory shows some of the real-life consequences of this badly designed AI.


This spring at SxSW, @SusanWojcicki promised "Wikipedia snippets" on debated videos. But they didn't put them on flat earth videos, and instead @YouTube is promoting merchandising such as "NASA lies - Never Trust a Snake". 2/


A few example of flat earth videos that were promoted by YouTube #today:

A thread about Eastshade's bike mechanic!

When I originally thought of putting a bicycling in Eastshade, I was pretty sure it wasn't going to work, for the simple fact that if it was easy, we'd see a lot more rideable bikes in games. Well, I was wrong. It took a mere week.


Its essentially a first person controller with extra momentum, resulting in the the movement direction lagging behind your look direction. Then I used the angle between the look and the movement to dictate camera "bank" and handle bar rotation, and voila! Game changing feature!


The look of the bike was harder than the movement. Bicycles are fairly modern, so it was tricky to fit it to the setting. I took some artistic liberties and settled on a penny farthing (but wooden), ignoring how impossible that would be to ride on the rugged terrain in Eastshade.

Surprisingly, the hardest part was sound. It didn't feel like riding a bike until I found the right sounds and how to trigger them. For a while I was stuck thinking too realistically. A penny farthing is fixed gear, pedaling sounds nothing like a regular modern bike.

Finally I abandoned realism and went with sounds normal people would associate with biking. We're all so used to modern bikes that we strongly associate the distinct ticking of a freewheel mechanism (think of the sound when you stop pedaling and coast on a modern bike).

I read two-and-a-half decades worth of Jeff Bezos’s Amazon shareholder letters.

It’s like a mini MBA.

Here I’ve pulled out a free guide for startups, investing, marketing, and “web3”🧵

(It’s a thread, not an ebook)


First, why the focus on web3?

It’s the mid 90’s. A 30-year-old Jeff Bezos is trying to raise money for Amazon. And investors are wondering,

“What’s this internet thing?”

Fast forward, the year is 2022, and folks today are wondering,

“What’s web3?”

Now, a little background…

In 1994, Bezos quit a well paying job to start Amazon.

It wasn’t an easy decision. But Bezos used his famous “regret minimization framework.”

In other words, he didn’t want to be 80 and regret not doing what he really wanted to do.

But what did he want?

Bezos didn’t set out to disrupt retail from the outset.

He simply wanted to come up with a business idea based on the internet and then let the internet grow around it while he kept working on it.

Today, that idea is worth $1.7 trillion and counting.

Moving on to the lessons…

Each year since 1997, Bezos has written an annual letter to Amazon shareholders.

These letters reveal a great deal of lessons and secrets behind his massive success.

So what are they?

To people who are under the impression that you can get rich quickly by working on an app, here are the stats for https://t.co/az8F12pf02

📈 ~12000 vistis
☑️ 109 transactions
💰 353€ profit (285 after tax)

I have spent 1.5 months on this app. You can make more $ in 2 days.

🤷‍♂️


I'm still happy that I launched a paid app bcs it involved extra work:

- backend for processing payments (+ permissions, webhooks, etc)
- integration with payment processor
- UI for license activation in Electron
- machine activation limit
- autoupdates
- mailgun emails

etc.

These things seemed super scary at first. I always thought it was way too much work and something would break. But I'm glad I persisted. So far the only problem I have is that mailgun is not delivering the license keys to certain domains like https://t.co/6Bqn0FUYXo etc. 👌

omg I just realized that me . com is an Apple domain, of course something wouldn't work with these dicks

I get asked for writing tips a lot. Of all the ones I’ve given, here are a few of the ones that seem to hold true and remain somewhat universal or at least mostly unobjectionable:

#amwriting #writingtips

1. If you are a fast writer (i.e., if you compose first drafts very quickly) then you absolutely must become a slow editor. Much of what I call “writing” is really, for me, editing.

2. If you don’t read you cannot write a lot or well. Sure, maybe you can read like a maniac for a decade and then read less after that, but without some large volume of intake, there will never be a meaningful output.

2.1 I sometimes say that I feel like writing without reading is like trying to run a marathan on a cracker. And sadly I see many students struggling to write when they have simply never read enough to fuel that demand of the task at hand.

3. All writing is writing if one decides to treat it that way. If one takes some degree of intentional will when sending emails, posting on social media and writing notes and marginalia, then all of that can count as meaningful daily writing.

Хајде да направимо мали осврт на случај Мика Алексић .

Алексић је жртва енглеске освете преко Оливере Иванчић .
Мика је одбио да снима филм о блаћењу Срба и мењању историје Срба , иза целокупног пројекта стоји дипломатски кор Британаца у Београду и Оливера Иванчић


Оливера Илинчић је иначе мајка једне од његових ученица .
Која је претила да ће се осветити .

Мика се налази у притвору због наводних оптужби глумице Милене Радуловић да ју је наводно силовао човек од 70 година , са три бајпаса и извађеном простатом пре пет година

Иста персона је и обезбедила финансије за филм преко Беча а филм је требао да се бави животом Десанке Максимовић .
А сетите се и ко је иницирао да се Десанка Максимовић избаци из уџбеника и школства у Србији .

И тако уместо романсиране верзије Десанке Максимовић утицај Британаца

У Србији стави на пиједестал и да се Британци у Србији позитивно афирмишу како би се на тај начин усмерила будућност али и мењао ток историје .
Зато Мика са гнушањем и поносно одбија да снима такав филм тада и почиње хајка и претње која потиче из британских дипломатских кругова

Најгоре од свега што је то Мика Алексић изговорио у присуству високих дипломатских представника , а одговор је био да се све неће на томе завршити и да ће га то скупо коштати .
Нашта им је Мика рекао да је он свој живот проживео и да могу да му раде шта хоће и силно их извређао
