Companies are not held liable for things that cannot be delivered even when an employee has stated they could. You can choose not to do business with them. Maybe the company chooses to reprimand the employee. How many times have we been told a technician will arrive between the hours of ___ to ___ only for it to not happen? How many times have we been told that FSD will be fully functional in 6 months? If companies were held liable for things employees said, there would be no sales people. I've never once met with a sales person that did not over sale the product/service.

Verbal contracts are still contracts. And this was written down.

A car for $1 can be delivered without any issues because delivering cars is their business model. It's their problem if their representative negotiated a contract that's not a great deal for them.

When is the last time you bought a car where the sales person didn't need to "check with my manager"? Adding somewhere "all chatbot negotiated sales are subject to further approval" in a ToS/EULA type of document would probably protect them from any of this kind of situation

Even the (authentic) toy Ferrari's can cost about US$20k. ;)

That used to be a gag in the 70s...call now and win a ToyYoda!

That and free trips to Jamaica...they'd give you subway fare to get to Queens.

From what I see written down was a user openly subverting the system.

The whole verbal contract thing is so fucking dumb. If something's important, it's important enough to write down.
