Hours spent trying to get someone to buy a car they have no intention of buying are hours NOT spent making sales commissions.
Or just yell “BORTLES!”
I doubt the vast majority of people could actually string a car salesman along for more than a few minutes without feeling awkward and cringey.
Going to a dealership, looking at a car, talking to a sales guy, doing a test drive… you’re really only there for 45 minutes until it’s time to sign the offer or leave.
Also, sales guy is going to be reluctant to spend much time with you or take you for a drive if you don’t really look like a tesla kind of person (wealthy).

I’m with you till the end, but teslas are like 40k at the low end, and most rich tech bros look homeless anyway.
Sure ok, maybe the term “wealthy” was a poor choice.
Salespeople spend all day reading people. I’m confident they could identify a shabby looking tech bro ready to spend $40k from a leftie trying to waste their time.
You might be surprised at how well some of us leftie techies can code switch.
You’re saying this like a day for me has no value
This is in comparison with protesting there for that time
Which is also a waste of time. Protesting in front of a car dealership is just dumb.
Destroying Elon’s wealth has value.
It’s a great idea actually. People buy vehicles for reasons other than practicality. No one is buying a cybertruck because they’re looking for a practical vehicle. It’s all vibes. If people see Tesla dealerships being picketed, they know that there will be a lot of people who judge them harshly for buying a Tesla. And aside from some right wing asshats, no one really wants that kind of heat on them just for buying a damn car. People buy expensive cars because they want to be seen as cool. Protests serve to make Teslas as uncool as possible.
Doug Stanhope has a great bit from his special
He’s a great crass alcoholic comedian. You know he’s great in that he’s both cancelable and not really on the joe Rogan radar.
Another recent fun bit so you kinda get who he is if you’re unfamiliar.
Fox news picked him up as maybe some ally. Yeah. No.
And if you’re smitten, well Idngive you the gold but it’s off YouTube.
It’s been scrubbed from the internet but if you put in your pirate cap, find ‘before turning the gun on hinself’, because the last 20-30 minutes is masterful.
