Tesla Will Now Let You Finance Your EV Repairs… With Interest Rates as High as 36% APR (fuelarc.com)

With Tesla, you can turn a $2,442 windshield installation into a $3,174 windshield installation through the power of interest.

This is being reported by the Teslasphere as an "excellent option" to restore affordability.

Neither of those numbers is even vaguely affordable, but the higher one can be reduced to bite-sized chunks.

Throwing a brick through a tesla windshield sounds 36% more interesting now.

Use pieces of ceramic from a spark plug.

Insulting. I can get a credit card for a much lower rate and use that.

You think Tesla customers are doing any research?

The most ironic cybertruck I've seen so far was one owned and vinyl-wrapped by a waterproofing company. The same cybertruck that can't be taken through a car wash.

Jesus Christ $2400 for a windshield?! And I thought I overpaid when I got my $600 windshield replacement at a local place (it's like $400 through Safelite for the same vehicle)

Seriously!!!

(My model, Toyota Tacoma 3rd gen, breaks the other way. $300ish from local place, $700ish from Safelite. Both WAY lower than $2,400)
