Text from screenshot of Tesla message: "Dear Customer, We hereby inform you that we cancelled and refunded your purchase of the Full-Self Driving Capability package, as the order was subject to a price error. You will be able to see the refund within 14 days. You are more than welcome to explore the in-app upgrade options for your Tesla and let us know if we can help with that. Kind regards, Tesla" Text from Reddit post: "hi around half a year ago I got a model S with lifetime fsd included. it worked fine until today when I got an email the FSD is revoken that was supposedly tied to the VIN. I asked the support and apparently there was a pricing error in the past that this car was part of so the previous owner is getting a refund of that because they accidentally made fsd 70% off for some cars they werent supposed to. why am I made responsible for this? fsd was one of the reason i got this car and its not even available anymore to get as a one off purchase"

Post in the Facebook group Cybertruck Owners Only by Francis Lee: "My Tesla Cybertruck Buyback Experience I wanted to share my experience with my 2024 Cybertruck buyback in case it helps someone else who may be in a similar situation.

"I really REALLY REALLY need these kids on electric scooters & bikes to fkkn pay attention!!!!! I was coming down 141st at the stop sign on 84th...no cars were coming so I go to make my left turn & 2 kids on scooters who are in the bike lane decide to turn up 141st while I'm turning!!!!! One kid had a helmet on & other did not, his helmet was hanging from his handle bars. Mind you I had my blinker on to turn & they still literally cut in front of me & I had to slam on my breaks to avoid hitting them!!! For the love of god, PLEASE school your kids about the rules of the road!!!! That could have ended really badly especially for the kid that wasn't wearing his helmet!!!"

Facebook post in a Seattle-area suburb neighborhood group. 'I don't mean to sound like a "karen" but I just got cut off by a kid on a e bike, they were popping wheelies going up 124th and completely oblivious to anyone around them. I don't even think they are of age to have a license. One kid didn't even look before merging into another lane (unfortunately I didn't get the wheeling on video)'
Photograph of closing lines from Ludicrous, published in 2019: "Given Musk's increasing unpredictability, it's impossible to say what he will do next. Only one thing is certain: Tesla no longer has a sense of identity independent of Musk, and it will be dragged along on any adventure he finds himself drawn into. Once you select Ludicrous Mode, it seems there is no going back."

Screenshot from a NYT DealBook email saying, 'The good: As a salesman, Trump impressed deal makers with his oratory abilities — using his speech to rattle off the savings he said he found through Elon Musk’s cost-cutting efforts. And many noted that his arrival at the conference was a clear signal that he wants to do deals. The crowd was, as one executive in attendance said, “entranced.”'
