    Cars are expensive and attacking people who worked hard to get what they once thought was the option in the market is counterproductive.

    I’m all for this on the dealerships but a lot of people can’t afford to just sell their vehicle, some can’t afford normal maintenance expenses, on a vehicle that is likely heavily financed.

    I mean, all out for cybertrucks and the other arseholes that are now aware of who Musk really is and what a fraud Tesla as a brand is but indiscriminately attacking ALL Teslas could be hurting vulnerable people that aren’t in the financial situation to dispose of their car.

      This is a boring take. Everyone to the center left has tried extensively to talk through why what’s happening is bad, wrong, awful, stupid, in all the best faith ways there is to literally deaf ears. Every word is intentionally misunderstood and weaponized for further propaganda. Speech has been watered down by a torrent of others saying nothing and nonsense.

      Tesla has been steadily declining with every action Elon takes. Trade-ins exist, they’ve been viable for years. If they’ve had them for awhile, they bought them when they were considered cutting edge. Who is buying bleeding edge tech while being financially unable to trade it in for something else from then to now?

      Talking has produced nothing, warranting action. Elon has been steadily descending into madness for all to see, it’s no secret and it wasn’t fast. Those who still have them and those that buy them even now do so willingly. Ignorance at this stage is not an excuse. These people aren’t vulnerable any more than someone who buys a pair of Yeezy shoes. “What if they can’t afford another pair??” Brother stop.

          Exceptions to every rule. Why haven’t you, since learning this, attempted to trade it in? I understand not being able to get an entirely new car from zero but Tesla has kept it’s value until very recently. Why hold it?
