He's saying you should start paying by check. If they're going to charge $50 for making it easier to pay, then use checks and make them have to drive to the bank or have to scan and submit each check.

Does it ever become an issue that they have so many different systems from so many different countries?

Reply to comment by Bensemus in ELI5 why do electric vehicles have one big battery that's hard to replace once it's expired, rather than lots of smaller ones that could be swapped out based on need (to trade off range/power/weight)? by ginonofalg
> You can bring it to other people to get it fixed.
You need literal electrical engineers to do it and Tesla won't touch your vehicle afterward. It's a pretty big cost to do anything outside of Tesla.

But the next generation will hate less. The one after even less so. For an entire country, it's a long-term win.

I remember seeing a case where Tesla was charging wild money to replace a battery and the dude paid another company to look it over. While still expensive, it was a lot cheaper for the guy to go battery by battery and find the bad batch then replace it and car was good again.

> lead her to complain to the Illinois attorney general, and discover that the hospital charged nearly $7,000 for a procedure that was never performed.
My question is how is the hospital not being sued or investigated for what sounds like blatant fraud?

Uh, I don't think anyone with a gun to their head is forgetting that getting shot is an option. It's an option no one wants.

Yeah I'm sure they're doing it out of the goodness of their heart and not because they benefit in any way.
