Who would buy a Tesla now, especially a used one.
For the MAGA heads who still like Musk, a Tesla does not roll coal enough. For those who would buy an EV, Tesla is a burned brand.
This binary view is neat and tidy but wrong. There are a lot of enthusiasts for whom a Tesla is still a desirable car both for capabilities as well as status. I would not be surprised to see its sales keep dropping, but reports of its death are all gonna be premature.
As far as a used Tesla, once we agree that a market for Teslas still exists, then that's all dependent on the price.
I used to want a Tesla so bad. Now it just doesn’t seem right.
Now, every time I see a tesla, I assume it's a white supremacist driving it.
What do you think when you see cars from VW, Benz, BMW, Ford (especially considering Henry Ford's anti-Semitic views), GM (Opel), Fiat, or when you notice tires from Goodyear, Firestone, or Pirelli?
It's worth noting that many big Japanese companies like Honda, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Yokohama, and Datsun (Nissan) also supported Imperial Japan during the war.
All of these companies had some level of involvement with the Nazis or the Axis powers in World War II.
As for Tesla, many owners bought their cars before all the controversies surrounding Elon Musk became mainstream. I get the criticism directed at him, and as a Tesla owner myself (I bought mine used before things got really wild), I've even thought about removing the Tesla logo from my car.
I'm just not sure if that viewpoint is entirely fair.
I regularly see the same three on the motorway, I appreciate selling a car has costs, but owning one of them also has costs.
Same... In the early 2010's they seemed like a dream.
Today, if I got one for free I'd sell it. If I couldn't sell it, I'd set it on fire. I don't consort with Nazi's.
Want mine...? 😞
The hacking scene just doesn't feel mature enough yet for it to outweigh the virtues it sends.
Sold my Tesla and don’t miss it at all. I can’t imagine still driving it now. Just wish I never purchased it in the first place but I honestly didn’t know what I was supporting at the time.
It is not about aligning yourself with anything, it is about doing the right thing for the right reasons for the benefit of our community and neighbors. Personally I wish she'd dismantle and sell it for scrap and donate those proceeds.
Never a good idea to partner with nazis over the long term.
She did a duet with Kid Rock. I am cautiously optimistic. Is she actually not a right winger anymore or is she just tired of cleaning rotten eggs off her car?
Kudos to Cheryl and I know several other Tesla that want to trade-in their cars because of Leon Hitler.
All I wanna do is sell that car I got a feelin' I'm not the only one.
She saved her self a lot of trouble from the crappy Tesla build quality.
He should sue her, like he did when companies didn't want to advertise on twitter anymore.
