At least if someone drives a brand-new Tesla. I can kinda sympathise a little bit with people who bought theirs a couple of years ago before Elmo’s antics became really obvious and are now struggling to get rid of it.
I give a pass to most Tesla’s because I don’t know much about cars. The cyber dumpster drivers knew full well who he was before buying their Swasticars, and they get to see my social finger at every opportunity.
Also, the cybertruck is objectively garbage on every front.
It failed at its original design, it failed at its current design, it failed at range, it failed at tow capacity, and more. It is objectively the worst vehicle in the sector it’s trying to claim it is in.
No, but selling your car in about a year, after you’ve had time to prepare shouldn’t be too big if a deal, right? It’s not about boycotting, it’s about having some kind of line that you draw in the sand and say “No more”.
Obviously you can’t do that, there no such thing as ethical consumption under capitalism. Regardless, there are choices you can make. I have never will never eat a a Chick filet, for example. You have to have SOME line
Ugh yeah, I’m an Uber driver and it being a cheap EV that also qualifies for comfort rides would really make my life better but I just can’t support the Nazi. I’m kinda jazzed about the slate truck, but I’m sure it’s bad for leftists someway somehow. Living under the thumb of capitalism is tough
My car is 8 years old and paid off. I’m sorry we didn’t have many options 8 years ago and we didn’t know who he was. I’m glad I have an EV now because gas is crazy and my electricity is $0.13/kWh vs $5.50 for gas, even though I barely drive it since I live in a city now and take public transit, but my wife uses it to drive to work. I am not going to buy another tesla if we ever need another car.
But there’s no point in selling a car that we use at a loss right now. I don’t give him any money besides long distance trips with the superchargers, but every new EV uses the Tesla super chargers now.
Um where have you been? With chip shortage and supply chain issues the dealers were phoning people up and offering more than they paid to get cars back.
A friend drove a van for 2 years and dealer bought it back over new price.
.
Used cars have been crazy prices too. A car you’d have paid $1800 for 6 years ago is now $6000 even with six years more
I bought mine before he went crazy. He has tweets after I purchased bragging about scoring high on lgbtq equality. Further, mine has lifetime free supercharging. The longer I have it the more I cost tesla money.
He was always a shitty person. Even in his adolescence.
He made fun of his classmate because his classmates father committed suicide. That classmate responded by shoving him down the stairs. Which honestly should have happened more.
He was calling a heroic cave rescuer “pedo guy” for daring to beat him to rescuing children before his cool submarine was built… 8 years ago. And people back then weren’t surprised how awful that was, because it had already been well publicized how fucking awful he is.
He has always had some pretty shitty opinions about things and a shitty way of doing business. Tesla was basically stolen by Musk from the guys who founded it, then he tried to rewrite Tesla history and label himself as the soul founder, at which point the actual founders had to sue him to maintain their founder status, and that was all in 2009, so unless you tell me that you bought the Roadster in 2008, I have a really hard time believing you. Or you’re one of those people that don’t care about things until it’s literally shoved in your face. But I digress. Sure you didn’t know.
But what’s stopping you from selling the one you have now, since you do know, now?
Because, as mentioned in my initial comment, it costs tesla money the longer I have it. If I sell it, the free supercharging won’t go with it. While it’s mine I can choose where to get repairs and avoid tesla service centers. That’s not a guarantee if I sell it.
Tesla Roadster was just a Lotus with a retrofit electric motor. Without Elons cash they wouldn’t have become what they are today.
In effect he helped found a viable production car instead of staying as an aftermarket retro fit of another manufacturers car.
He’s an absolute asshole douche, but I’m glad he brought Tesla to where it is, it forced all other ICE manufacturers to take EVs seriously.
At this point, if you drive a Tesla, I have a real hard time not thinking you like Nazis who hate freedom and minorities. 🤷♂️

fucking nazi scum trash

Subjectively…fuck all of it.
I stopped giving a pass to most Tesla driver a couple of months ago when I realized they’ve all had plenty of time to sell their cars
If Subaru starts committing genocide, selling my car now isn’t going to hurt them, only me.

Let’s go through a list of products you use and see how many are created by evil people. Very easy game to play.

Selling a Tesla to another owner solves nothing, now you have a new owner you are hounding to sell it
It solves the “You are not a Nazi but own a Nazi car” problem. Who gives a shit who you sell it to?
The next person could unwitting buy it not knowing the elon Nazi thing. I think you over estimate the general publics awareness of what goes on.
It solves nothing. Future sales should be the target.
Well, then I hope your little bumper sticker prevents your swasticar from getting keyed and I’m glad you’ve found a way to sleep well at night.
Wrong guy, I still have a gas car

Hey, wanna say 🤝 for being principled even when money is on the line, unlike some other responses in this thread.
And I agree that the Slate looks cool af. 👍
Does a Hyundai qualify? I just got one of the Ioniq cars for a great deal and in my opinion, beats Tesla in every category.
just cover up the logos.

You’ll never not sell a car at a loss

But Teslas devalue like rocks. In fact, the devaluation kills any fuel savings.
I bought mine before he went crazy. He has tweets after I purchased bragging about scoring high on lgbtq equality. Further, mine has lifetime free supercharging. The longer I have it the more I cost tesla money.
He was always a shitty person. Even in his adolescence.

He was always rotten to the core.
That may be, but that wasn’t really well known then. Hell I haven’t heard anything you claimed above until now.
Behind the Bastards did a segment on him about 7 or so years ago, which is how I found out about how shitty he was when he was younger.
This article I found on the stairwell incident:
https://www.news24.com/business/economy/elon-musk-made-hurtful-comment-to-fellow-pupil-who-left-him-hospitalised-father-says-20220602
We were this fucking close to answering the “What if baby Hitler was killed” question.
He was calling a heroic cave rescuer “pedo guy” for daring to beat him to rescuing children before his cool submarine was built… 8 years ago. And people back then weren’t surprised how awful that was, because it had already been well publicized how fucking awful he is.

You’re keeping it to protect it from the real Nazis? Come on, dude. You have done mental summersault to avoid selling your swasticar.

They worked with Lotus, but it only shares 6% of parts with the Elise. Musk wasn’t at Tesla at that time.
Musk was an asshole since PayPal
My friend has a Tesla. He is absolutely this person.
I had a coworker that regularly pressured other people to buy Tesla. He succeeded in convincing two of his friends as well as his own daughter.
I feel like most of the commenters in this thread would have an aneurysm if they took a drive on Norwegian roads.
