We at least have the option of buying an older ICE vehicle that doesn’t include that nonsense. Although yes, that will likely come with higher maintenance and repair costs due to the age.

Either way, the telemetry issue needs to end on vehicles entirely.

It is a valid point. I have a coworker whose wife has a Tesla. They recently moved but had been searching for a place for about 6 months. Luckily, their previous place allowed them to sign a month-to-month lease while they searched.

They found a nice rental home with a garage that was wired for 240v (yes we’re in the US) and signed the lease. Only for them to find out the 240v outlet wouldn’t work because someone had stole the wiring. Landlord won’t fix it, so they have to use the slow Level 1 charger. She now cannot use the vehicle for work related trips without using a public charging station because of the distance.

Depends on how you view it. If you’re just a buyer, I feel it’s pretty easy to spot scams. Though there are absolutely exceptions to that.

As a seller though, a constant barrage of scammers, dumbasses, and low ballers alike.

I fully agree about the moderation. I don’t think there is enough moderators to keep up with how many listings are up.

Unfortunately a side hustle for me is buying cars, putting in some work, and flipping them. Facebook Marketplace has a grasp on the personal classified ads. Craigslist still exists, but results are slim in my area.

I really hate it because I’ll go to look at cars, but end up scrolling mindlessly on the feed.
