I think this hand ain't invisible. Well at least one finger isn't.
Yeap. Too late to sell now.
I have one that’s nearly 7 years old, fully paid for and still works well. I hate having to own any car and environmentally, the best car is the one you already have. Getting an equivalent car at a reduced trade-in price would cost 20k and I would do it on principle if I could afford to.
BMW and Mercedes both supported Nazi’s during the holocaust and I believe they should receive the same treatment but it’s been the better part of a century and they’re still here. I’d go so far as to argue that cars are just consumerized war vehicles that a civil society has limited use for given the potential benefits of mass transit.
Oil companies bribed and lobbied against clean, efficient, exciting transit decades ago and were all poorer for it.
How is it in any way relevant what German car makers were doing 80+ years ago? Unless you also think all modern-day Germans should be "cancelled".
Apart from that I agree, the American car lobby has been terrible for public transport development and green energy
Because they and many other modern car companies supported nazi genocide and fascism for money that I don’t think it’s a coincidence we’re seeing the same with Tesla. Time doesn’t change the past.
spacex and starlink need to be the next to go.
Space X should be nationalized
We did pay for it.
We're still giving Elon $80 million a day.
The brand is forever damaged. Sell while you can.
I’m so glad that I lost my job in 2016 and had to cancel my Tesla Model 3 reservation. When I eventually got a better paying job in 2017 I played it safe -assumed I could lose it at any moment- and bought a Chevrolet Spark which has served me well.
Who is buying all these Teslas that Tesla owners are all selling because nobody wants a Tesla?
They are called "people"
Carvana bought mine at a decent price. I imagine the coming glut will have them refusing to buy Teslas outright. Other enraged Tesla owners should unload theirs asap.

White people are selling, Indians are buying. Every Indian neighbor I have owns at least one Tesla
It's not just Indian. There's an Ethiopian church down the street, every sunday our block is full of Teslas, two of them are cyber trucks. So weird.
