If I owned a Tesla right now, I’d be in a bad situation. I sure as hell no longer want to be seen in one. The market for them has crashed, and nobody wants to buy one used. If I could afford a Tesla, I’d surely have insurance… I’d be rooting for somebody to set that shit on fire

    This is me, exactly. We’re leaving the country in the next 6-8 months and can’t justify selling it just to buy another car that we’ll then sell soon after. In the meantime, I get shit for “being a nazi” despite being a leftist. Good times.

    Honestly, I love the car. We haven’t had any issues with it, it drives great, the features are nice, and the energy efficiency is top notch. I wish Elno would step down as CEO and/or die so we could take it with us, but I doubt he will.

      Ditto for me for most things here. Fun fact also is that I was initially motivated to buy the car for environmental reasons and so that fascist Russia wouldn’t benefit from me buying and burning gasoline.

      I bought it used so technically Musk didn’t get money from me. And by keeping and driving it, he keeps not getting money from me (unless something breaks that needs parts, I guess).

      Great car, weird CEO. If his recent successes continue, perhaps he’ll off himself or something. Or perhaps the shareholders will finally grow a spine and boot him instead of giving him billions.

      Love my m3 in the us, but I am so glad when we moved that I bought a plug in hybrid instead. It’s a piece of shit in comparison and crazy expensive, but it feels cleaner.

      Now I just wish I bought a Volvo plug in hybrid.
