Looked this up out of curiosity and came across a non-profit which produces reports on the topic and seems to be the basis for the Wikipedia article on modern slavery.
According to the 2023 Global Slavery Index, 7-8 of the top 10 countries in the world with the highest prevalence of modern slavery have a majority religion of Islam (Mauritania has disputed figures about religious prevalence with Christianity and Islam at similar levels). And none of the countries in the top 10 lowest prevalence have a majority religion of Islam. Prevalence here is used to mean estimated number of people in slavery per 1000 population.
However, the absolute figures for total people affected are proportional to the size of the country, as you would expect, with North Korea and Russia topping the list.
And if you look at driving factors, the US is the leading importer of products at risk of being produced by slavery by an order of magnitude.
From the study:
"The musical pieces were selected based on their slow and meditative tempo (60-100 beats per minute), and only non -lyrical instrumental piano or flute based versions were chosen.The flute version which was preferred by most patients was a combination of Raga Yaman and Raga Kirwani. Raga Yaman is bright and uplifting and Raga Kir wani is known for its soothing and calming effects. Combining these two Hindustani classical ragas provides musically uplifting qualities that could be helpful in reducing the stress associated with surgical procedures and control the hemodynamic responses to surgery. Noise cancelling headphoneswere used to play the instrumental pieces at 60db."

Some features that would be nice to have:
- a list of the categories
- the user’s index page location persists after viewing a sub-page. When I clicked a product, then went back, it starts me at the top of the main page even if I had clicked to go further down the page originally.
As of 11/13/2024, Consumer Reports rates Tesla as the lowest maintenance and repair costs over the first 10 years of ownership, not factoring in insurance or collision repair.
outliers always exist, you were dealt bad hands. I think also if you pushed hard you could have gotten this covered, just needs a whole lot of yelling and if that doesn’t work going social and trying to get some publicity behind it, especially if it was 1 DAY after warranty expired.
I personally thinks it makes financial sense to get extended warranty for things like this, $15k used to be a price of a new car, getting a warranty to cover that past Tesla’s warranty I think makes financial sense.
My wife recently bought pre-owned eTron and I made her get extended warranty after doing research online about maintenance costs on them
Arguing got it down to $7.5k and beyond that I needed a lawyer. I paid it, and kinda regret it, because not only is it a refurbished battery, it's basically useless on a trip/supercharger now as they cap the speed to absurdly low levels. Like 10%/h. Car only had 70k miles on it, too.
I appreciate that you didn't call me a liar, which has been my past experience anytime I mention something negative about that company
I have a colleague at work that had the same experience as you - it was close to 9 months after warranty! For sure this is a thing - can’t believe someone called you a liar! There are other people on various Tesla forums with issues like yours.
Is the supecharger capping a thing? Like for any refurbished battery? I didn’t know about this!!
I'd only seen it mentioned with regards to salvage titled cars before my own experience. They certainly didn't tell/warn me that this would happen. They actually did the opposite (of course), insisting it would be warranted and as-good-as-the-battery-it-replaced. They said I could buy a new one for like $30k....... the car was worth about $20k, assuming it was working, which it wasn't.
It stings. Can't even write it off in my head as supporting the EV movement with how soured that's all become.
insurance and collision repair works out not much different from other luxury cars. if you think tesla’s repairs are high see about owning a mercedes or audi…
again, even if this was true, you are shitty driver and have to pay premium for tesla insurance, given virtually $0 in maintenance you’d still come out on top
I agree that if you pay $0 in maintenance you come out on top. But since you will have to pay high insurance and potentially high repair costs (and those repair costs get closer the older the car is), the price of the car tanks on the used market.
> insurance and collision repair works out not much different from other luxury cars
No, it does work out differently than other cars of a same retail value, that's very well documented. See my other comment
This is poor documentation... again I'll say if you are a shitty driver you will be paying high insurance and you will be having issues fixing the car and whatnot not matter what the car is. I have been a driver since 1993 and have had one claim where I was at fault (slippery road, rear-ended a car in front of me). my insurance on the Tesla is as cheap as it gets, like $68/month. have several friends that drive Teslas too (mostly 3 and Y) and no one is paying high insurance.
if you know you are going to F sh*t up with the car and have bunch of claims on it and have it at the shop all the time - I agree with you Tesla is not for you. But if you are a good driver insurance and maintenance is not a thing you need to worry about at all...
Did you look at one of the many links I posted at all? They have pretty detailed comparisons of avg insurance cost for various Tesla models vs similarly priced non-EV alternatives.
Hmm, feedback should not be required to realize firmware needs more frequent than >yearly/once releases. (Not to mention security issues that should be fixed a lot more quickly.)
