Suddenly, numerous Tesla owners protested, and some people went directly to the Tesla store and put up banners: Tesla arbitrarily priced, infringing on the legitimate rights and interests of consumers.
However, the behavior of these car owners was not only not sympathized, but was immediately threatened by netizens:
If the price is reduced, it will cause trouble?
what rights and interests have been infringed, and the warranty is not guaranteed, or the parts are not supplied?
do I need to discuss the price reduction with you? You bought it of your own free will.
obviously, the so-called infringement of consumers' legitimate rights and interests is purely barbaric, rude and unreasonable. Moreover, from the legal point of view, Tesla completely has the independent decision-making power of price reduction sales.
Just like Tesla's price reduction triggered rights protection, last year's price reduction sales of housing enterprises also attracted a large number of owners to protect their rights.
however, it is not impossible to protect rights by lowering prices, provided that there is a guaranteed price agreement, that is, the seller promises that the goods sold will not be lowered or raised within a certain period of time. The best explanation for this incomprehensible behavior is that it is a reflection of the psychological gloom of Chinese people, and it is the highest level of greed: if others take advantage, they will suffer. Because the biggest unhappiness of these defenders is: why should I spend more money than others to buy the same thing?
if there is no contrast, there is no harm. In the final analysis, it is the mentality of comparison. Middle-class consumer goods like Tesla still have a certain flamboyant nature. Cars that were originally worth more than one million yuan were reduced in price, but now they are only worth more than 8, yuan. How embarrassing is it to talk? Who knows that I bought it for more than one million yuan, not more than 8 thousand yuan?
It is an indisputable assumption that they are only extremely selfish for their own interests. If they are allowed to sign an equal insurance agreement with a car store (real estate agent), the seller will compensate the buyer for the price reduction, and the buyer will make up the difference from the seller for the price increase.
will they sign? It must be determined not to sign.
tacit understanding with this gloomy psychology is another kind of abnormal psychology-others suffer, and they gloat; If you suffer, others should suffer.
put yourself in the position that if you talk to two Tesla owners before and after the price reduction, if you have a good relationship, those who buy a car after the price reduction will definitely be complacent: Look, driving the same car costs hundreds of thousands less than you. There may even be a sense of superiority, how lucky I am. If these two people don't have a good relationship, they will think: Boy, it's your buddy's back. You've been set up by others.
when others take advantage, they feel that they have suffered correspondingly, which is the evil result of selfishness and comparison; When others suffer losses, they feel much more comfortable. This is jealousy and hatred.
This kind of gloating under jealousy is the jealousy of "I can't see others living better than me", the malice of "seeing others' misfortune, throwing stones at them, and applauding them while taking advantage of the situation", and the extreme selfishness of "monopolizing the cheap and jumping with the pit".
If selfishness is human nature, then this comparison, jealousy and even gloating is distorted human nature.
